Glenn Beck’s I Have a Dream
by zunguzungu
By Charles Larson
I have a dream that white people will continue to control America.
I have a dream that Christian white people will continue to control America.
I have a dream that straight Christian white people will continue to control America.
I have a dream that straight Christian white people who control America will continue to watch FOX News.
I have a dream that straight Christian white people who control America will continue to watch FOX News and believe what I say.
I have a dream that straight Christian white people who control America will continue to watch FOX News and believe what I say and elect Sarah Palin as President of the United States.
I have a dream that straight Christian white people who control America will continue to watch FOX News and believe what I say and elect Sarah Palin as President of the United States so that taxes will be lowered and there will be no government intervention in our lives.
I have a dream that straight, ignorant Christian white men who control America will continue to watch FOX News and believe whatever I say and elect Sarah Palin as President of the United States so that taxes will be eliminated and there will be no government intervention in our lives; that the man who pays my salary, Rupert Murdoch, will never realize that he’s a fool for letting me say all the stupid things I say; that there will be no Mosque within three thousand miles of Ground Zero; that we will build a great wall around America so high that none of those unmentionables from the rest of the world will be able to crawl over it or tunnel under it; that my divorce and substance abuse will not disqualify me from being Sarah Palin’s running mate; that I can continue to fool most of the people all of the time and that I will continue to be paid millions of dollars each year for my TV antics, the books I publish, the questionable products I push, and that these riches of my life will continue forever in spite of my less fortunate viewers who must surely be blessed for their ignorance.
Amen.

The President of the United States is black-ish, so “The Man” is no longer the “White Man”.
Promptly remove the chip from your shoulder, man up, and take responsibility for your lack of success.
“Black-ish”? Classy.
I’m not sure who you’re talking to, either; do you normally presume that people who you disagree with “lack success”? Feel free to show us more in your psychology.
I just love it when the liberal left exposes their bigotry, hatred and ignorance such as the above. Way to go!
