“White House Threatens to Prosecute Private Medicare Companies for
Warning Seniors of Cuts”

These peckerwoods in D.C. should be strapped to chairs, have their
eyes duct-taped open...and watch/listen to a loop of Martin Luther King saying
“Let Freedom Ring!!!!....”

Well, as long as possible so they don’t suffer eye damage.
I can’t believe how the “liberal” party has so quickly morphed into
the party of oppression.

(excerpt from The American Rhetoric website)

And this will be the day — this will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with new meaning:

My country ‘tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.

Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim’s pride,

From every mountainside, let freedom ring!

And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.

And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.

Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.

Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.

Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.

Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.

But not only that:

Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.

Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.

Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.

From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:

Free at last! Free at last!

Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!

You know, every time I read or hear King’s “I Have a Dream” speech I come away thinking that it is one of the purest and most patriotic and conservative speeches ever.
