LIBERALISM SUCKS

King County Courthouse

With a population of about 2 million, King County, Washington is the 13th most populous county in the country. Since liberals like to fixate on matters of race, here is part of the racial makeup of the county. There are more Asians than Latinos or Hispanics, and the black population is less than half that of either Asians or Hispanics. It could be said that King County is one of the most white counties in the entire country.

The county seat is the city of Seattle, a city that would be less liberal if some of its residents would only return to the places where they were born.

In late 1882 King County was formed and named after William Rufus DeVane King who was Vice President at the time. There is some indication that Rufus King was gay.

William Rufus DeVane King

In 1986 a disgraceful and racist motion introduced by Ron Sims (a black Democrat and a crook) changed the naming of the county in disrespect of Rufus King and in honor of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

Excerpt from motion:

A MOTION setting forth the historical basis for “renaming” King County after the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., instead of William Rufus DeVane King for whom King County is currently named.

WHEREAS, the County of King in the State of Washington was named after William Rufus Devane King by the Oregon Territorial legislature in 1852, and

WHEREAS, William Rufus DeVane King was a slaveowner and a “gentle slave monger” according to John Quincy Adams, and

WHEREAS, the citizens of King County believe that the ownership of another human being is an injustice against humanity, and

WHEREAS, William Rufus DeVane King earned income and maintained his lifestyle by oppressing and exploiting other human beings, and

I’ll bet you thought that only Communists and Bolsheviks showed disrespect for their historical figures, pulled down statues and renamed places according to the latest political whim. But remember it is the Seattle neighborhood of Fremont where a statue of the Communist scumbag, Vladimir Lenin, stands.

So we dis Rufus King, and honor MLK because Rufus King owned slaves. But wait a minute, are we not going to rename the State of Washington? After all, George Washington owned slaves most of his life.

Chief Seattle

But it gets better, Chief Seattle owned slaves too, he owned eight of them when white men first arrived in the region. I guess we will have to create another shameful motion that disrespects Chief Seattle and renames the city to some new politically correct figure. How about Shawanttle?

Since when do we hold the people from our past to the more enlightened standards of today? Welcome to “Political Correctness Gone Wild”.

Let’s have a look at The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., an affirmative action plastic god if ever there was one.

MLK visited King County only once, to deliver a speech at the University of Washington. He was only here for a few days. His scholastic record is tarnished with charges of plagiarism. It is alleged that he used the works of others without attribution.

We have had many famous people in our history. Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln were arguably far more important than MLK. But MLK has a holiday in his honor, and these other great men share a single holiday.

White liberals attempt to assuage their white guilt by elevating MLK to a status the man does not deserve. White liberals are terrified of black people becoming violent. So MLK’s non-violence was something they desperately wanted to promote. Granted MLK made some fine speeches, but the only reason so many things are named in his honor was because of the color of his skin.

Former King County Executive, Ron Sims, left another enduring mark upon King County, Washington. He changed our voting method to mail-in only. Now, liberals need not fear conservative voters. And conservative voters in King County can no longer be confident their votes will be counted.

“It’s not the people who vote that count. It’s the people who count the votes.” (Sometimes attributed to Josef Stalin)

If someone were to ask you for whom King County, Washington was named, just tell them it was ORIGINALLY named in honor of William Rufus DeVane King.
