From the Boar's Head Tavern

...I did read the link to the article talking about James Dobson's calls for Christians to go to Montgomery to protest [the removal of the plaque w/ the Ten Commandments from the courthouse]. The fact that this is happening in Montgomery, Alabama made me think back to the early civil rights movement when MLK was organizing marches and protests for equal rights back in the '60's. How many evangelical Christian leaders who were around back then urged their fellow Christians to join MLK's cause for civil rights and equality? Probably not a single one. They were sitting on their butts shaking their heads, calling MLK a communist and questioning his theology. But, years later, hey gang, let's all mobilize to save a MARBLE SLAB, in the name of Jesus! Are our priorities all screwed up, or what....
