According to President Obama "A white folks greed runs a world in need". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdLX3aRNaNk <-- Obama's own words in Obama's own voice.<br /><br />Yet here we have MLK, Jr.'s wonderful speeches that everyone should hear for the betterment of humanity, but can't without paying off the heirs.<br /><br />And the heirs will sue in the courts to protect their source of income. I would call that GREED. <br /><br />Now somehow in the alternate reality that liberals occupy when a black person wants to retain rights to intellectual property he inherited its not done out of greed.<br /><br />But when a white man does the same its the cause of everything wrong with the world?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-37988395114803563792009-05-21T03:07:22.081-04:002009-05-21T03:07:22.081-04:00This is a really funny post- it's a brilliant poin...This is a really funny post- it's a brilliant point. It seems to me that in the current "politically correct" 1984-esque world (the bitter irony that Obama burst on to the scene with that iconic Nike (god of victory, right?) commercial with the sneaker breaking the image- reference to 1984, he came to power on a reference to 1984, sorry, every day these days that irony strikes me). Oh yeah, what I was going to say is that, let's face it, what the Left has done is renounce the founding fathers (slaveowners, etc.) in favor of MLK. The Left would have it that America began in the early 60s with MLK, that this is the foundation moment. Ronald Reagan warned us in his Farewell Address that we needed to shore up educational institutions... I recently went to the children's section of a local public library- it's all MLK and Anne Frank with maybe a book for Abraham Lincoln. Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Hamilton, nothing. Nobody knows or cares about the founding of this country, which was radical and brilliant. I find it very moving that the tea party protesters turned to the country's founding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-14813149098009899462009-05-20T18:49:02.050-04:002009-05-20T18:49:02.050-04:00Two things about the Rev.

(Attorney General Robert Kennedy, brother of the president, wiretapped King. Racism continues today in both parties.) Two, "Hello Birdy" is dead wrong. King asked that we be judged by the content of our character. Not by our skin color. That was a great thing to say now and then. Here is a very good quote on racism. http://www.aynrandlexicon.com.htmlExalted Momentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889272028781237751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-7175802552608270132009-05-20T18:40:13.849-04:002009-05-20T18:40:13.849-04:00We visited MLK's home in Atlanta...what a shame. ...We visited MLK's home in Atlanta...what a shame.

As both the Professor and Aaron points out, MLK JR. believed in judging people by the content of their character, rather than the color of their skin. This is exactly opposite the great (new liberal)/progressive dream epitomized by the Obama administration. The progressive/Obama dream is to categorize everyone based on how they look, think, speak, etc... and then sort them based on those categories into favored and disafavored groups, then collect campaign contributions fand votes from each group trying to change or maintain their status as politically favorored or not.The Commissionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17077338326149936853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-20318247870665925982009-05-20T14:42:06.283-04:002009-05-20T14:42:06.283-04:00William

King hoped that someday his children will be judged not by the color of their skin, but the content of their character. This election proves that neither one means a damn anymore.<br /><br />Harsh, but pretty accurately summed up my continuing mixed feelings.A.W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10876021589516844048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-23971534437853003742009-05-20T13:26:07.508-04:002009-05-20T13:26:07.508-04:00I can't agree that the writings should be buried,o...I can't agree that the writings should be buried,or that Obama is the Dream come true.
