Martin Luther King Day 2015 - 50th Anniversary of Selma March

by Marion Algier -  Ask Marion

Al Sharpton sold out long ago to become the ‘racial grievance industry profiteer’ he is today, shaking down individuals and corporations alike in exchange for his silence or support. But he really outdid himself this month with his latest stunt. Al Sharpton called a special diversity meeting to complain that the movie Selma didn’t get enough nods (Selma received two nominations including Best Picture) and that no African Americans were nominated this year, implying that the academy was too white, too male and too old.  Hello?  Silly me, I thought that the Oscars and the arts were about best performances not quotas and I guess a Best Picture nomination was insulting?  I guess we will be redistributing Oscars soon and calculating their nominations according to quotas if liberals have their way?!?

Sharpton should get the Oscar for being the greatest opportunist.  His move and approach last week would be exactly opposite of what MLK would have wanted or done! Martin Luther King, Jr. promoted unity not division.

On Sunday, the 'Selma' actors lead a re-enactment of the 1965 march on the eve of the 2015 MLK holiday.

Al Sharpton: 'The American Public Overwhelmingly Voted for Socialism When They Elected President Obama'

After the health care vote last night, Reverend Al Sharpton told Fox News: “I think that this began the transforming of the country where the President had promised. This is what he ran on.” When the interviewer interjected that many view the vote as a step towards socialism, Sharpton didn’t skip a beat, responding: “The American public overwhelmingly voted for socialism when they elected President Obama.”

The good part of this is that the Progressives have become so bold that it will become more and more evident who they are and that it will become more and more evident to those who still don't get it what the goal it!

For those who have followed Obama’s life and speeches and read the books by and about him… none of this comes as a surprise.  But for those who voted for a fantasy illusion of hope and change that Obama and his team sold them… the ever growing awareness of the Obama/Progressive agenda becomes more and more evident as they have become emboldened in promoting their agenda…
