Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. understood the dream of the Founding Fathers. "All Men Are Created Equal." It was a condition in America the founders dreamed would come to pass. They saw a future where the sin of slavery would be defeated, but they expected the States to individually rid our nation of the practice. Instead, we fought a war - a war where over 600,000 young men perished.
States' Rights may have been the fuse, but slavery was the black powder.
We persevered through the Democrat Party's Jim Crow Laws and the party of the donkey's creation of the KKK, we corrected Democrat President Woodrow Wilson's decision to segregate the military, we overcame the Democrat Party's attempt to filibuster the Civil Rights Act after the Republicans overwhelmingly supported the measure, and we have prospered despite the Democrat Party's attempt to enslave Americans with their entitlement programs. We prospered as a society where the hard work of individuals, the dreams of Americans, did not see race or humble beginnings. Anyone could succeed. Anyone could reach the American Dream. Allen West did it. Herman Cain did it. Thomas Sowell did it. Clarence Thomas did it. Barack Obama did it.
The liberal left Democrats were not satisfied with prosperity, because socialism cannot be hammered into place when capitalism, and a mighty free market, dominates a nation's economy. Unity through the American Spirit cannot be deconstructed when there is prosperity, and when it is the kind of prosperity that sees no color or ethnicity.
For the socialist plans of the Democrats to be realized, division was necessary, and Obama has achieved that division.
The election of Barack Obama slapped Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the face, not because of the historic election of the first black president, but because many of the voters put him into office because of the color of his skin, not the content of his character. Then, Obama spit in Dr. King's face, inserting race and division into every issue he could. All the while, the politicians, the entertainment industry, and the biased media doubled down, elevating Obama to some kind of level of godhood. He became a savior, a messiah, a leader worthy of is own logo, and having his face placed upon the nation's Flag - an action in history that was normally reserved only for despots, and tyrants.
The marchers on Washington say that King's dream of equity has not been achieved. They say that inequality remains in place because we don't have equity in results. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, they say. The new normal in America, according to the marchers, is the loss of the American Dream. They believe government must redistribute the wealth, stealing from the producers, and raining down the spoils upon those that have-not in the form of government gifts from the treasury. They expect everyone to achieve a mediocre living standard, regardless of the effort put into it. Rather than elevate those that yearn for better, they believe those that have achieved must be knocked down to the level of the "less fortunate."
Equality is not equity in results, but equity in opportunity. We are equal in the eyes of God and under the law, but our individual and unique characteristics make us different, and those differences will make it easier or harder for us to achieve our goals in life. It is up to us to make our lives fair, to battle through the storms, and make a life that government could never give us, no matter how many entitlement programs they create.
The marchers on Washington fail to understand the slavery that government has placed many of their supporters under. The government provides, and then the government can dictate. That is no freedom at all. It is bondage.
Martin Luther King Jr. envisioned a day when race-baiters and racists like Obama, and his Marxist minions, stepped aside, and Americans achieved their dreams through hard work, without the division caused by fascist socialists like the President. King dreamed of a day when white on black, and black on white crimes would not be called actions of racism, or the result of inanimate objects like guns causing the violence, but the unacceptable maneuvers by evil people doing despicable things. He dreamed that together, without a care about any cultural or ethnic differences, without any care other than that we are all Americans seeking the American Dream, that we would make this a better place by achieving, by succeeding, and by expanding the pie with our wealth and hard work - without the government standing in the way with programs, regulations, and race-baiting.
The marchers tell us that we have a lot of work to do. That the dream is not yet fulfilled. They are right. The dream is not fulfilled, not because of the presence of racism as they view it, but because the Leftists have kept division alive, dragging race into everything they can, igniting differences and calling them the seeds of division.
Our differences are not division. They are how we compliment each other. We are Americans. We are individuals, with unique talents, whose weaknesses are the strengths of others, and vice versa. We are not a nation divided when race-baiters like Obama, and the democrats, are not in power and fomenting the seeds of division. We are united. . . as Americans.
I am not color blind, as some say they wish people to be. When I see a person of a different ethnicity walking towards me, I recognize the differences. I know we are unique individuals. Unlike the Leftists, I just don't care about it. I don't point out the differences in ethnicity or culture. We are Americans that happen to have differences, and that is all - and those unique differences is what makes us who we are, and gives us the ability to become who we want to be. The leftists, however, care about division and pointing out those differences as if they are a bad thing. They do this because they endeavor to use those differences to create division, to create chaos, to create crisis. It is only when the nation is divided can the democrats conquer America with big government. That is what Hitler did. He pitted Germans against the Jews. Obama is doing the same, pitting whites against all minorities. He sows the seeds of hatred, and calls his opposition the haters.
We are currently divided. The marchers are correct on that count, but for the wrong reason. We are divided because the democrats, assisted by a complicit mainstream media, have ushered us in that direction.
I pray that the marchers come to recognize reality, and join America in stopping this madness, instead of continuing to buy into the lies and propaganda that divides this nation. Unfortunately, they have scales over their eyes, and the leftists in government are pushing, dividing, and demanding that violence erupts so that they may do what tyrants do.
