"The election of an African American president sends a powerful and historic message that what was previously unthinkable can become reality. The battle for equal rights has reached a major milestone, but Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream of full equality remains just a dream…"
~ Dr. Alveda King. Neice of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
In celebration of a true historical icon, I thought I would take a moment to discuss something our president so eloquently likes to claim… that he is the fulfillment of Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream… but… was he?
Martin Luther King Jr. was first of all a Christian, secondly a Conservative and more importantly (for the sake of this argument) a REPUBLICAN! Martin Luther King Jr. wanted men to be judged by the content of their character and NOT the color of their skin, but all I hear is that we've elected the first BLACK President. Since when is BLACK part of someone’s character? People who celebrate the election of the first BLACK President are bigger racists than those who never wanted to see a BLACK President in office. Do you know why you keep celebrating the fact that he’s BLACK? Because if you took the time to do what Martin Luther King Jr. actually wanted and judged Obama by the content of his CHARACTER, you’d realize that there’s nothing there to judge.
Let’s make a quick comparison between the two:
- Martin Luther King Jr. praised this country as a CHRISTIAN country… Obama has denounced and chastised anybody who makes such a claim!
- Martin Luther King Jr. never wanted anybody to use the color of their skin for any sort of gain, most of all politically… Obama embraces himself as the “first BLACK president”.
- Martin Luther King Jr. never shied away from or denied his upbringing… Obama has gone as far as STILL denying the release of his long form birth certificate and denies claims from his own family of his Islamic upbringing.
- Martin Luther King Jr. denied himself the opportunity to be protected, funded and supported by Malcom X and his violent supporters… Obama was trained, groomed, funded and protected by some of the most violent and controversial men of our time.
- Martin Luther King Jr. died for speaking what he believed and didn’t care who his audience was… Obama will say whatever is popular in front of the audience to whom he is speaking to!
- Martin Luther King Jr. believed that
- Martin Luther King Jr. believed that
- Martin Luther King Jr. believed in the right to live for
- Martin Luther King Jr. fought hard to
- Martin Luther King Jr. believed that
- Martin Luther King Jr. taught people to do any job that was available to them, no matter what it was, as long as you were working… Obama prefers people not work in order to make them more reliant upon what the government will give them.
Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream has NOT come to pass, if anything we’ve taken several steps back from reaching his dream. For every vote that was cast because Obama is BLACK, that is one step back. For every vote cast for Obama because he was “NOT Bush”, that’s one step back. For every vote that was cast because Oprah, Will I Am, Scarlet Johansen, or any other celebrity whored themselves in support of Obama, that’s another step back. If you remove all of those votes, what do you have left? Can you honestly say you support a man who supports the abomination of gay marriage, the senseless murder of unborn children and funding programs that allow lazy people to sit at home and CHOOSE not to work, because the government will support them… of course what they don’t realize is that for every check they receive, another one of their rights is being stripped from them.
I WILL support my president (the office) and my country, but I will NEVER support his liberal socialist agenda. Barack Obama will do what every Democratic President in history, reap the benefits that the Republican President before him left because of the unpopular choices he had the backbone to make.
Some day, I do believe Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream will come true. Someday a man will get elected and NOTHING will be said about the color of his skin… nothing will be said about his race… nothing will be said about his nationality (other than he is a naturally born American, unlike Obama)… what will be said about him is he is an honorable man… a wise man (not just a good speaker)… a trustworthy man… what will be said is that he is a man deserving of the office of United States President… Obama is NOT that man!
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.
