I have a better dream
Posted By JM Bell on August 28, 2010
American politics continues to spiral ever downwards into farce as tens of thousands attend Glenn Becks ‘I Have a Dream Rally’, so-called because he spoke from the very spot where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech 47 years ago. Offensive ? Insensitive ? Tasteless ? You bet.
Well you know, Mr Beck, I have a dream too.
I dream that one day the people of America will wake up and realise that they do not live in a democracy.
I dream they will dismantle the fatally broken and corrupt ‘two-party’ system that offers no real choice at all, just two right-of-center groups that both serve big business interests.
I dream they will drive lobbyists and corrupt politicians out of Washington and finally demand a government that puts the interests of the majority of the voters over those of a privileged few.
I dream that the brainwashed and deluded will wake up to the way they are misled and contemptuously played on a daily basis by propaganda channels like Fox ‘News’ and by snake-oil salesmen like yourself.
I dream that America will one day have what it does not have now, a functioning democracy of the people, by the people and for the people where money can’t buy privilege.
One day, Mr Beck. I have a dream.
