[Peace-discuss] "I Have a Dream!"

	O, Bomb It On The Mountain

The chief and most annoying feature about Obama's nomination is how white 
liberals can't stop congratulating themselves for supporting an African-American 
for president. Even my pal Jon Schwarz got sucked in. "Good job, America!" 
Yeesh. That's your brain on an Ivy League education.

The other prominent, disgusting aspect about last night's event was CNN 
continually reminding us that Obama was accepting the Dem nomination 45 years to 
the day of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech. Other than skin 
color, I really can't see much resemblance between the two. Obama the community 
activist is long dead. The guy is one step away from managing an aggressive 
empire. Not quite what King had in mind, I'm guessing.

"I have a dream, that one day, a man of African heritage will rise up from 
humble beginnings, and take the reins of imperial power, bombing and starving 
poor people he's never met in order appease those affluent few who made his 
ascent possible. I have a dream today!"

And don't think that Obama won't bomb poor people. Afghanistan is only the first 
target. Senator Change openly promised more aggression as liberals cheered his 
line about preparing for "future conflicts." I saw one bearded youth sporting a 
peace sign applauding Obama's martial rhetoric. What have I told you about 
liberals getting a whiff of blood?

"We're a better country than this," Obama assures us. Really? What movie has he 
been watching? All I saw last night was collective mania and delusion. The fact 
that a black man may lead the next phase of empire is genius, a beautiful cover. 
How long the con will last is anyone's guess...
