What Would MLK, Jr. Do?

This is my second annual MLK Day rant. (To read last year's, which I am quite proud of, click here.)

If you are offended by the caption I added to the picture above, then deal. What you should really be offended by is the notion that Barack Obama personifies the fulfillment of Dr. King's dream of character before color. 

King's message was about character, people. If you voted for Barack Obama just because he was black and you thought it would be cool to finally see a black man in the White House, then you have thwarted Dr. King's dream, not furthered it. Period. And I have not yet witnessed anything about Barack Obama's character that qualifies him to be anything more than a Chicago dog catcher.

That isn't to say that any black person could have been elected president in 2008. I understand that Democrats didn't want to just see a black American in office; (s)he had to be a Democrat. If a black Republican like Ken Blackwell, Michael Steele, or Lynn Swann ran for president, would they have had a ghost of a chance? Not hardly. Especially considering each of these fine, upstanding, decent men ran for various offices in their respective states and each lost--to white men.

And, as the Great One Mark Levin and others asked back in November, had John McCain won the presidency, you think the liberals in media and Hollywood would be all ga-ga over the first female Vice President in U.S. history? No way.

To sum up, I do not believe that Martin Luther King, Jr. would approve of Barack Obama as President of the United States, because I still believe that once you take away Obama's skin color, all you're left with is another garden variety Marxist-socialist terrorist-appeasing Democrat. Even if Dr. King lived to see Jesse Jackson run for office, he'd be less than supportive.
