One took ...A tale of two marches on Washington....<br /><br />One took place in the late summer of 1963, the other in the late summer of 2009. One was promoted by a preacher from Georgia named Martin Luther King, the other by a former "shock jock" from the state of Washington named Glenn Beck. Ouch! Even mentioning the two of them in the same paragraph is somehow disconcerting.<br /><br />In 1963, the the people were singing, We Shall Overcome.<br /><br />Forty-six years later, the chant was, We Shall Undermine.<br /><br />In 1963, a vast and varied demographic of the American people - all races and religions - descended on the nation's capitol to peaceably and nonviolently protest an injustice that was occurring in certain areas of the country to people of a certain skin pigmentation.<br /><br />Forty-six years later, a Convention of Pissed-Off White People - united only by the fact that they were all habitual viewers of a single cable news channel - rolled into Washington to hurl invective at an African American president for creating a mess that he had absolutely nothing to do with creating.<br /><br />In 1963, the signs people held up were optimistic: "With Liberty and Justice for All."<br /><br />Forty-six years later, the signs were ominous: "We Came Unarmed - THIS TIME!"<br /><br />On August 28, 1963, the hearts of people who marched on the city of Washington DC were filled with love and hope.<br /><br />On September 12, 2009 they were just full of shit.<br /><br />Let us boil the comparisons down to their juicy essentials, shall we? Martin Luther King had a dream. Glenn Beck has a scheme.<br /><br />http://www.tomdegan.blogspot.com<br /><br />Tom Degan<br />Goshen, NYTom Deganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911175264811957550noreply@blogger.com
