Dr. King And Governor Palin: March On!

Like Dr. King, Sarah Palin refuses to be silenced, though the mainstream media is begging for her to be quiet rather than speak up for the freedoms of Americans, freedoms which perhaps have never been so attacked since Dr. King’s day.
I remember last year when Michelle Obama spoke at the Democratic National Convention. I must admit that toward the end of her speech, I cried. I did not cry because her speech was so moving or her husband was so promising. Please! I cried when she drew attention to it being the 45th anniversary of Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. For the first time since the campaigning had begun, I was hit with the awareness that history–to which I was directly related–was in the making, that here was the first Black man to have won the presidential nomination–and I could not vote for him. That realization made me sad in a way I never expected. Now, perhaps you don’t understand those emotions, but I just remember what gripped me in that moment. It took 45 years, I thought, and this is the best we could come up with?! It cut me to the heart.
As a Christian, nothing trumps values for me–not race, not gender, nothing. Therefore, I could never have voted for Obama. Shoot–I couldn’t even stand to look at him. But I suddenly felt robbed of participating in that moment, and it hurt.
The tears were fleeting. They left as quickly as they came…and the next day Governor Sarah Palin stepped onto the national stage, and I was smiling.
I have never cried those tears again, for I remember the man whose speech we remember today. Dr. King so wisely said,
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
Translation: There are more important things than race. And while the Left continues to race bait, while they call white conservatives like Sarah Palin “racist” and Black conservatives like me “sell-out,” I know Dr. King got it, even forty six years ago, and what’s more important, I get it.

$150 Million For TV Ads
Posted by Chuck in ObamaCare, Race Relations on August 9, 2009
Following from the Tammy Bruce website:
Dick Durbin and others claimed insurance companies and “people like them” were behind the townhall protests. This was to discredit the angry turnout as manufactured and counterfeit. Today the drug industry announced they are spending $150 million for TV ads to back the White House healthcare plan.
Taking the ‘manufactured’ charge at face value, insurance companies are contemptible for acting in their corporate interest, but not drug companies. (Not today anyway.) Shouts of individual Americans who go to townhall meetings are to be silenced while slick big government propaganda may intrude into our homes.
Angry Mob Beats Black Man
Posted by Chuck in ObamaCare, Race Relations on August 7, 2009
Following from Patterico’s Pontifications:
I guess the Democrats were right after all. At a town meeting held by a Democrat congressman, a rowdy group of organized and angry thugs showed up to make a point about ObamaCare, and then beat up a man. Race was involved, too: the victim was black — attacked by a man yelling racial slurs.
It’s every Democrat talking point you’ve read about in the last day or two, come to life in an ugly fashion.
With one twist. The black victim was a conservative, and the assailants may well have been union thugs:
Kenneth Gladney, a 38-year-old conservative activist from St. Louis, said he was attacked by some of those arrested as he handed out yellow flags with “Don’t tread on me” printed on them. He spoke to the Post-Dispatch from the emergency room of the St. John’s Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was waiting to be treated for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face that he suffered in the attack. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack started.
“It just seems there’s no freedom of speech without being attacked,” he said.
Not when you have angry mobs of left-wing extremists around . . .
"Stop Talking About Race"! – Barack Obama
Posted by Chuck in Race Relations on August 3, 2009
Following from the Washington Times:
Well, that was pathetic. And it wasn’t an accident. The fix was in from the beginning.
Last week’s lackluster “Beer Summit” featuring Sgt. James Crowley, professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., President Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. was orchestrated to end a national discussion on race, not begin one. That’s why there were no microphones, even though each participant showed himself to be perfectly qualified, astoundingly articulate and camera-ready for an illuminating and much-needed public debate.
The problem for the White House was the more the esteemed professor talked, the more trouble he created for his friend, the president. The clever photo-op sans audio was crafted to yank the director of the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research off the stage, lest anyone begin to question what is being taught at Harvard these days.
Conversely, the more Sgt. Crowley weighed in, and his brave black co-workers spoke out, the more obvious it became that a national discussion featuring this cast of characters may not end with the results the professor and the president wanted.
The status quo was at risk, and Mr. Obama used his extraordinary powers to protect it.
