Martin Luther King: The Dream of Common Sense
Some ideas are so reasonable, you would think even a moonbat would have to agree with them. Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream that Americans would "not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." What's to argue with?
Given the current state of affairs, it's not easy to believe that the civil rights movement once agreed with King's vision. Of course, a lot of things have changed since then. Before affirmative action and political correctness, it was actually a disadvantage to be black. Most involved in the civil rights movement were good people sincerely interested in advancing civil rights, in contrast to the thugs and demagogues that dominate it now.
Once its mission had been essentially accomplished, the movement deteriorated quickly from Dr. King to the phony "Reverend" Jesse Jackson, a hoodlum who has advanced the art of maumauing to levels of extortion the Mafia can only envy, a tax-cheating philanderer so decadent and corrupt as to qualify as Bill Clinton's spiritual advisor. Now the mantle of Dr. King has been soiled still further by falling into the hands of Al Sharpton, whose irresponsible race-baiting has resulted in a pogrom in Crown Heights and a massacre in Harlem.
The facts that their fellow Democratic candidates kiss the rings of these clowns, and that they treat them as legitimate representatives of the black community, say all you need to know about the Democratic Party in general and more specifically, about its cynical attitude toward the blacks whose votes they have come to rely on. Isn't there anyone worthy of respect for blacks to look up to, that they should be represented by lowlife like Jackson and Sharpton?
Of course there is. Condi Rice and Clarence Thomas are the first to spring to my mind, but there are countless others. But why should blacks need to look up only to other blacks? I don't have to be black to wish I had the intellect of Thomas Sowell, any more than I have to be half Jewish to want to write like Jonah Goldberg.
Common sense doesn't need to be a dream. Why not drop the race-based silliness that is so lucratively exploited by today's "civil rights" hustlers? Why not see ourselves as Americans, instead of allowing ourselves to be balkanized into ethnic special interest groups? Then instead of regarding each other with suspicion, we could focus on our enemies: moonbats and the terrorists they enable.

Wonderfully put, VanHelsing! All I'd add is that we need to recognize and promote those courageous critics of the civil rights establishment, such as Bill Cosby and Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson. Jesse Lee Peterson is affiliated with the African-American conservative group Project 21 and frequently appears on Hannity & Colmes, taking it to Jackson, Sharpton, the NAALCP, and all such racist hypocrites who connive to oppress the Black community so as to maintain their own power and wealth. Rev. Peterson's revealing book, Scam, is available at fine bookstores near you (yearight) and certainly online via his website.
