United in Prayer group makes an embarrassment of themselves. (Please do not mimic. Thank you.)

When you live in a place like Memphis, the local news media (which is owned by and takes its marching orders from the National news media-ABC, CBS, NBC, Scripps-Howard, Gannett, etc.) is constantly fanning the dying embers of the “Civil Rights” movement.
Why? Because the CRM was the one unqualified success of liberalism since WWll. It was the one manifestation which, at least among both mainstream conservatives and liberals, is like Caesar’s wife and is “beyond reproach.”
A case in point is the article, “United in Prayer,” taken from the Monday, August 1 edition of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, our daily fish wrap. The occasion for this article is to focus attention on the unveiling of the new MLK Statue on the National Mall in Washington D.C. next week.

The lady bowing before her master in the picture is Nina Tayloe, a Memphis socialite, a member of the exclusive Memphis Country Club and Second Pres social gospel true believer. The newspaper didn’t chose to run this photo by accident, and the symbolism it represents is disturbing.
