Dear Reader,
With the commemoration of Martin Luther King's birthday just a few short weeks away, I thought you might me interested what a rewrite of his most famous speech might look like if it were done by those in power today.
Enjoy!
Sincerely,
John Mollan, MS
I
Have a Dream 2006, Republican style!

"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the
true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that
all [Christian Republican] men are created equal [as equal as
their net worth and country club memberships will allow]."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia; [in the Rust
Belt of Ohio] the sons of former slaves [small business owners] and the
sons of former slave owners [factory workers] will be able to sit down
together at the [unemployment office] table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state
sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression,
will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. [Note:
The state of Mississippi has been deleted from the United States by FEMA since
Hurricane Katrina]
I have a dream that my four little children [heirs] will one
day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin
[Mercedes] but by the content of their character [stock portfolios].
I have a dream today!
And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's [unaborted] children will be able [required] to sing
with new meaning:
My country 'tis of thee [for me],
sweet land of liberty [domestic surveillance and wiretaps], of thee I
sing.
Land where my
fathers [your sons and daughters continue to die to maintain my
lifestyle], land of the Pilgrim's [fundamentalist Christian] pride,
From every
[strip mined] mountainside, let freedom [free trade] ring!
