What would MLK say today?

I did not know Dr. King, so I really cannot speak for him. But if we read the words he left us, I think we can easily imagine how he would have felt about the America of today and about Obama ad-Dajjal:

When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.

A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. With righteous indignation, it will look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa, and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the countries, and say, "This is not just." It will look at our alliance with the landed gentry of South America and say, "This is not just." The Western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just.

A true revolution of values will lay hand on the world order and say of war, "This way of settling differences is not just." This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into the veins of peoples normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice, and love. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.

(Your can read the entire speech "Beyond Vietnam -- A Time to Break Silence" @ http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkatimetobreaksilence.htm $$ Substitute the words "Iraq" or "Afghanistan" for "Vietnam" in the speech, and you'll realize that not much has changed since the 60s.)

I believe that America is stuck on this deadly path it continues to pursue for a reason: the ruling class seeks our death as a nation - spiritual, financial, political death. If you ask them about it, they will say, "Shit happens". I say bullshit on that; the ruling class knows exactly what they are doing, and they are relentless in the pursuit of their goals. That's why they rule and the people don't. That's why they would rather kill someone like Dr. King, and erect statues and name streets in his honor and give us someone like Obama ad-Dajjal as President instead of healing this nation and truly helping her people.

No, I don't think Dr. King would have liked Obama ad-Dajjal, the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today and the most willing servant of the ruling class, who continues to wage war by another name and who has done little or nothing to help the poor.
