A great aspect of America is the ability of the less fortunate to purchase and own property.

Comparing Dr. [Martin Luther] King's beating to what took place in the wake of Hurricane Katrina is an unfathomable stretch in any sense of the imagination in anyone's mind except for Jackson Lee and those like her.

Combined, these people have a greater aggregate income than some third-world countries. How has America hurt them? How have they been injured by what's taking place in America? And where are their ideas and solutions?

Eminent domain abuse denies the people who the Framers cared most about the right to create wealth through property ownership. This assault on our constitution not only denies them this right, but by forcing them out, it in effect creates other depressed areas that eventually will be claimed by the powerful for their own selfish gain. We must resist such tyranny at every turn.

He was attacked and hailed in his quest to ensure that all Americans received equal treatment. I defy those feigning insult to cite one example of Judge Roberts not supporting those ideals.

It is the left that strives for an America governed by quotas and special rights for perceived oppressed special classes. It is the left, not Judge Roberts, Dr. King or James Madison, who seek to control what persons may say, how they may think and how our children are taught.

Is that not exactly what Dr. King espoused so eloquently? Judge Roberts's rulings and beliefs are rooted in the same document - our Constitution - that both Dr. King and Madison so gallantly defended.

To suggest that I have in some way discredited Dr. King is simply the knee-jerk, apoplectic hysteria of those who find fault with anyone not espousing their leftist mantra of self-segregation and special rights. As a result, much of what Dr. King stood for has been undermined by their lies and pathetic misrepresentations.

The comments and actions of the Congressional Black Caucus were morally opprobrious and divisive. It is beneath the level of sane discourse for the Congressional Black Caucus to suggest that blacks are suffering more than the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have been displaced.
