The Real Lesson of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” speech.

A rally occurred Saturday, Augusta 28, 2010 near the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” speech. Thousands of Americans came together not so much to remember MLK, but to re-address what he did to inspire people to take action. It is well for us in these times of revolution (the Obama - Muslim revolution) to remember just what Dr. MLK did and how he accomplished it. He is lauded in literature, song, and poem: he is exalted in halls of education, government, and private businesses: he is praised by the individual and by institutions and has been for quite some time now. Why? Who was MLK, and what did he do that earned him all this fame?

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a highly motivated, determined, educated and eloquent black Baptist Minister from Atlanta Georgia (His church was in Montgomery Alabama, however, when he became active in the civil rights movement). You can read his story in books, newspapers, and hundreds of sites on the internet. As we all know, who are over fifty years old and were alive on that day when on a Memphis Tennessee hotel balcony he was murdered by a man named James Earl Ray. The day was April 4, 1968. He died within minutes from the shot which took off much of his lower jaw.

Many of us who read this were alive during those troubled days when MLK, Jesse Jackson, Ralph Abernathy, et al, was on the news about as much as Barack Obama is today. I shamefully admit that during those times of unrest I was against the demonstrations and the intent of the civil rights movement, almost as much as the democrats were even though I was a republican. But as I grew in the Lord and maturity, I came to admire MLK: not so much for his politics, for he was heavily influenced by communists as much as Obama is by Islamists: but I admired his spirit, his courage, his dedication to a noble, righteous cause. In college in 1970 at age 32, I memorized his “I have a dream” speech and delivered it in my literature class. If not for his tenacity, and perhaps his tragic assassination we would still be dealing with the civil rights issue today, instead of reverse discrimination, now directed against white males.

But what did he do to be lauded, praised, applauded, and lionized? He resisted the government! When told that blacks could not occupy seats on the front of the bus, they sat in the front of the busses until the jails were full. When told that blacks could not drink from ‘white’ water fountains, they drank from them until the jails overflowed. When told they could not sit at lunch counters or soda fountains, they sat at them until bruised and bloodied the jails were not sufficient to hold them all. When told they could not march without permits and they could not get permits, they marched by the thousands, tens of thousands up and down highways and towns, through Montgomery, Selma, St. Augustine, Albany, and even to and in Washington DC anyway. They defied the law, defied the Congress, defied the Supreme Court, defied violent white men, defied police officers, defied universities, defied politicians (George Wallace (D) Alabama, Lester Maddox (D) Georgia, William Fulbright (D) Arkansas – remember?) and anyone else who got in their way.

Does anyone fully realize what the black community and MLK accomplished? They got their way by resisting the government and being willing to suffer in the process! But their wily enemies, the Democrats, virtually every last one of them, (including the now famous Senator from WV, Robert Byrd, (D) WV who was in the KKK), opportunists as they are - nothing if not shrewd - having lost the argument and their dignity in the process, used the angst of the day, turned it to further their evil cause, and won the war on blacks while posing as their saviors. The politicians changed the laws and bought black compliance with treasury money, to their new slavery and are still doing it today. With “entitlements” they keep blacks on the plantation. Today they are in wretched poverty, families have no fathers, their children fill the prisons, and their education is worse than it has ever been. Many in the black community are solely dependent on government and by this, through the welfare laws and entitlements, the democrats (Lyndon B Johnson’s “Great Society”) have destroyed the black family and have them more under their thumb today, more pathetic today, more at the mercy of government today, than they were when the laws kept them second class citizens. You’ve got to hand it to them Democrats.

MLK would not be proud of this black generation he would be appalled. He was not a Democrat – they were his enemies. No, he would be appalled not because of the noble ideas and courage they had then, but because of how today’s blacks have allowed the Democrats to snooker them even after their defeat in the sixties. The government has more than gotten even by keeping the black community subservient to not only the power hungry white Democrat politicians, but the greedy, gold digging black politicians and civil rights leadership, who seeing a gold mine if they joined their enemies, sold out the black community. The black community has become a bonanza of political power for their former enemies and is worse off now than before MLK. Go figure.

But by MLK’s leadership, passion and righteous cause, they fought for what they wanted and won the argument. Here’s the lesson: They did it all by resisting, defying and working against government! If we are to restore America and do it in the spirit of MLK as was suggested at the rally in Washington DC, we must not only return to honor, honesty and holy convictions; we must also resist the government which is trashing our constitution, defy their evil and dishonest laws, and work against everything they try to do to enslave us today. Should we pay taxes to a government that misuses our money to fund vacations for this imposter of a president, abortions, and all manner of wicked, wasteful and wanton projects? No! Should we comply with the un-constitutional healthcare bill? No! Should we pay fines if we refuse to comply as is in the law? No! Resist, defy, work against not just this administration, but every politician and political institution that defies “We the People’s” sacred Constitution. And if we fill the jails as did the blacks during the civil rights era, so be it. At least we will enjoy some government largess while in jail.
