We also need an non-lawyer, a non-politician, as president. I h**e to say this, but we need a layman as president, with leadership sk**ls and a true faith and allegiance to the the office and the constitution.
Dr. Martin Luther King said, "...In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men -- yes, black men as well as white men -- would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...."
He also said, "But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children."
He also said, " The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges. "
And what about this, "But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone."
What about, "Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today my friends -- so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these t***hs to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former s***es and the sons of former s***e owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be t***sformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today."
Now, I know english and if I were to hang on to every word of this lengthy speech and follow Dr. Martin Luther King, by judging on the "content of Character", Dr. King would once again march on the White House and contend a protest against a man who, has proven by the content of his character that he is a liar, fraud, and an usurper of the Constitution.
I a white man, once thought in the 2008 e******n, after hearing one of Obama's speeches, wholeheartedly agreed with him, when Hilary Clinton challenged him using the race card, so to speak. and I too fell into the hypnotic suggestion for his speech was what I witnessed. However, it turned in the months to follow that he was just appeasing the crowd. Where is the dignity of character in President Obama?
Now mind you, even though this is my opinion, I feel Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, would have turned over in his grave, as his sacred words were being used to suppress his white and black brothers and sisters.
Even a bunch of friends of mine who are Negro, have said to me that they are embarrassed that the first black president of the United States has been a failure.
What a pitty!
