King, at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta on Feb. 4, 1968:
“God didn’t call America to engage in a senseless, unjust war. . . . And we are criminals in that war. We’ve committed more war crimes almost than any nation in the world, and I’m going to continue to say it. And we won’t stop it because of our pride and our arrogance as a nation. But God has a way of even putting nations in their place. And if you don’t stop your reckless course [God says], I’ll rise up and break the backbone of your power.”
God forbid that any public figure claim to admire King– he’s such a hate-America-first demagogue, isn’t he?
