Imagined MLK speech where the great man describes one who just...isn't.
Edited on Mon Aug-30-10 07:48 AM by urgk
"I have a dream, that one day, this divisive, little man, will get up to a podium in the guise of reconciliation... and he will launch forth with all kinds of nonsense. All kinds. I have a dream that he will wave his little arms and he will furrow his little brow and he will use Vapo-rub™ to pretend to cry while he also pretends out loud to know what's best for this country; our country; yours and mine.

I have a dream that this man, this little man, will accuse the first black President of being racist. This little man will scare people into lining his own pockets with gold. This little man, both in stature and in character, supported not by facts but by fervor, will get up to the podium this day....and that people will see him for the first time.

I have a dream that the multitudes will look up from their couches and their bar stools and lean toward their radios and they will see him for who he really is, not who he claims to be.

They will see that that the only things he brings together are disparate ideas, from which he draws imaginary conclusions; they will see that the only rifts he can mend are the rifts between the amount of money he wants and the amount of money he has; they will see that his is a Blitzkrieg on Reason itself; they will see not a great man speaking, but a great lie spoken."

On a side note, this has been posted before, but here is Glenn Beck, "Restoring Honor" by losing his mind and going falsetto while caring deeply for "the trillions" .--> http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=YA7-BvVDV10
