APPLYING MAKEUP WHILE DRIVING

Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American clergyman, activist and prominent leader in the African-American civil rights movement. His main legacy was to secure progress on civil rights in the United States and he is frequently referenced as a human rights icon today. Martin Luthur King's "I Have a Dream" speech is often considered to be one of the greatest and most notable speeches in history when he spoke of his desire for a future where blacks and whites, among others, would coexist harmoniously as equals. the speech was on August 28, 1963, at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the 'March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom', and was considered to be the defining moment of the American Civil Rights Movement, as was the inauguration of the first black President of the United States Barak Obama, which is what led to the graphic, this is a homage to a man of great principles and honour who in every sense fulfils his own quotation;

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy". (MLK)

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - " I Have a Dream" Speech (full transcript)


I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves, who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."

But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so we have come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.

We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.

It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must ever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to th

It is important to have an open-minded perspective on the man who presently poses as the president of the United States. In as much as he is an alien black African Communist, it behooves us to consider every dimension of this historical fiasco.

Immature. Like the psychologically challenged Democrat, Bill Clinton, with a troubled, confused childhood, Barry (Barack Hussein Obama) brings before the people of America a case of feigned objectivity and social wisdom. He is obviously chronically dependent on the camera. He must be on stage. He must be talking. He must be looked at. He must be in your face. All America’s face. He has a problem staying in the White House. The recent appearance on a low-down late-night TV show for teenagers and twenty-something college students is typical of where Barry really is, psychologically. He is an adolescent himself. Democrats attract the socially immature and misshapen, the unfortunate and crippled. That the party should continually aggrandize this brand of humanity makes for a grand, all-inclusive public appeal, yes, but these are not the kind of people that need to be in leadership. Ever. This not only sets them up for incorrigible failure, but creates disaster for the larger public. Putting the common, or the lowly, on top, is trying to make heaven on earth. The result? Hell. Always. It is the Pharisacial self-righteousness of the Democrat mind set that brings this about. Manipulating the romantic notions of the “common man.” Nationhood just doesn’t work that way.


Demonstrating the height of immaturity and hypocrisy, Barry not only forever degrades the American presidency by appearing on a cheap, late-night “entertainment” show, but says he was “shocked” to know bonuses were being paid to AIG executives, and claims Timothy Geithner is doing “an outstanding job.” President Barack Obama appears on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in Burbank, Calif. Thursday, March 19, 2009. It was a most vomitable moment.

Barry is in a state of continual fantasy. It’s all about having a good time. He likes to party. It’s all about party. Much worse than Bill Clinton. The Democrats bring adolescence into national leadership. Personal lack of discipline, organization, cleanliness, and very basic decency all generate a disgusting air about our presidency. I think the “common” people of America idolize themselves a bit too much. They see themselves in the failure, immaturity, and lack of class of Barry, and Bill. They honor their own low estate in electing such “trash” to the highest office. This is what happens when everyone has the right to vote. A painful reminder of the necessity of voter qualification.

Barry wants to appeal to youth, as if youth is the guide. The educational system of America has insured that the general youth is completely self-idolizing, dishonest, and self-indulgent. No wonder Barry seeks the solace of youth.

Incompetent. Barry has literally no executive experience. He is the most unqualified, inexperienced, incompetent individual every to hold public office. He demonstrates the Peter Principle, I believe it’s called. Incompetence is elevated, or promoted. Something like that. He got in on his skin, nothing more. There are plenty of incompetent Democrats out there, who want to destroy everything America is and was built on, and was meant to be. Why a black one? Just for the fun of it. And perhaps because the Democrats knew what was coming, knew the disaster they had caused, and knew it would be best to put a black man in office. That way, the black man would take the hit, and it would be a soft blow, because the Negro is so well protected from criticism, so insulated from fault, that their boy Barry was the perfect fall guy. He would simply float, and never hit the ground. Knocked silly by reality, he wouldn’t even feel it himself.

But the people will pay for this one. As usual, actually. There are individuals, and there are corporate bodies. The individual always pays–for the incompetence, errors, and ills of the corporation. This is the truth even at the lowest levels of business. Washington is a whore house now. People like Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Tim Geithner, and Barry, of course, lead the world in criminal hypocrisy. Republicans are virtually complicit. It is a shame, a dark, dark shame in the history of America. Or so it seems. Is there a difference between incompetence and dishonesty? Who can tell, at this point?

Arrogant. Dare we say, the spirit of the man is present in the inflections and tone of his voice? Barry even sounds cocky. It is ringing in his speech. In every word. His style is nothing but
