I Have A Suspicion...

Today is the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech. Google's doodle is purporting to celebrate this occasion, which is fine and dandy. But, uh...



I realize it's the back of his head and it's a stylization, but that looks a whole lot more like Barack Barry Soetoro Hussein Obama's grape to me. Not that this surprises me, of course. Google's legions of hipster minions are well known for their fawning adoration of Obama, and these are the same people who offered up a doodle of socialist labor agitator Cesar Chavez on Easter Sunday of this year. They'd have a difficult time making their actions any more deliberately antagonistic.

Many people at the time of MLK's life and early death labeled him a demagogue, rabble-rouser and race-baiter. I don't hold to that evaluation, nor do many people I know. But Mr Obama has more than earned such appellation over the course of the last several years. That there exist so many people who are still so emotionally enthralled by him doesn't speak well of our educational system -- specifically its ability to properly convey critical thinking skills to the young minds in its care.

But then again, maybe this doodle is more apropos than I'm crediting it. After all, the Democrats have been hijacking the concept of civil rights and harnessing it to their own political plows for decades. LBJ famously manipulated both the civil rights movement and the credulous hippies at the same time. King Barry is just following in the footsteps of his predecessors, and his loyal subjects are seeing to it he gets good press, no matter how badly he screws up. It's good to be the king, even if it's only for eight long, long years...
