Letter From Birmingham Jail
Martin Luther King Jr.'s essay, A Letter From Birmingham Jail has become a
classic for good reason. Martin Luther King was an excellent writer and speaker,
appealing not only to the logical side of most people, but also to their
emotional side. He was an intelligent man, keeping up with all the current
events of not only the nation but the world, and was well read in issues of the
past. What he said and wrote came from deep inside him and was influenced by his
belief in God and Jesus Christ. His essay took his knowledge and his talents of
persuasion, and summed up what he was working for and what he believed in. When
he stated, "Anyone who lives inside the U.S. can never be considered an
outsider anywhere within its bounds..." he was saying that Americans are
people made up of many cultures and backgrounds. He was celebrating America's
diversity, which makes the United States such a wonderful place to live. He
would be ashamed and sorrowful if he saw how citizens of The United States
treated each other today. If we had to take a million immigrants in, say, Zulus,
next year, or Englishmen, and put them in Virginia, what group would be easier
to assimilate? Patrick Buchanan is outspoken on many subjects, immigration is

the U.S. Mexican border, and that Congress should pass a five-year moratorium on
legal immigration. He also feels that an Executive Order should be signed which
would abolish federally mandated minority programs and affirmative-action plans,
plans that were put in place during the Civil Rights Movement which King helped
to lead. Buchanan is the same man who stated that women were "simply not
endowed by nature with the same measures of single-minded ambition and the will
to succeed." Yet, if he becomes President he will re-instate prayer and
Bible study classes because he believes that family values and morals are
non-existent in American society today. Is this guy for real? What happened to
equality? How can someone be religious and still go around declaring that some
people are better then others? Supposedly our country was to have gotten rid of
all its racists notions during the 60's and the 70's. Apparently not. Buchanan
is creating outsiders within the U.S. Measure 9 and Measure 13, measures, had
they been passed, would have caused discrimination on a public scale, legal in
Oregon. It would have isolated gays and lesbians as freak...
