It's a shame, it could have been a great day.

The DNC national convention held on the mall yesterday attended by 25,000 +/- people was a sad affair. It has nothing to do with MLK jr's legacy. I heard very little about the struggle (except from John Lewis), very little about the heroes of that day (some of whom should have been on the dais) very little about the price paid by those who laid down lives without fear, very little about the real progress that has been made, very little about those who are representatives of what could be, very little about the faith of the fathers of this movement. NO all that was eclipsed by talk of Obamacare, gay rights, immigration reform (which Corretta Scott King vehemently opposed), wealth redistribution, and the inevitable race baiting drivel of Al Sharpton. Funny, I was there, historically speaking. Active. Sharpton was 9 years old and learning to ride a bicycle. I guess hijacking what should have been a solemn and inspiring commemoration is what the democrats do best.
