by Jeff Davis. The continuing collapse of the US economy and high unemployment gives us a hint that Obama and his light-weight, heavily minority regime are staggeringly incompetent, but this latest story makes me wonder if Obama can get anything right.
The “Magic Negro” in the Oval Office is so astonishingly ignorant he can’t even find a legitimate quote from a Black historical figure, that wasn’t plagiarized from a White man. So much for that expensive Harvard education he got courtesy of Affirmative Action. The Washington Post reports: “A mistake has been made in the Oval Office makeover that goes beyond the beige. President Obama’s new presidential rug seemed beyond reproach, with quotations from Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. woven along its curved edge. ‘The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.’ According (to) media reports, this quote keeping Obama company on his wheat-colored carpet is from King. Except it’s not a King quote. The words belong to a long-gone (White) Bostonian champion of social progress. His roots in the republic ran so deep that his grandfather commanded the Minutemen at the Battle of Lexington.”
One major problem with Martin Luther King Jr. was that he was a prolific plagiarist. One article notes “A Boston University committee reports that while 45% of the first half and 21% of the second half of King’s (doctoral) thesis was plagiarized, it was still an original contribution to scholarship, and his degree should not be revoked. The true extent of King’s plagiarism is much greater, and comparing his thesis with its sources, one can only conclude that BU’s conclusion was purely political and academically dishonest.” For anyone else any amount of plagiarism is a major scandal, but we still have liberals making excuses for King.
The Post article notes “For the record, Theodore Parker is your man, President Obama. Unless you’re fascinated by antebellum American reformers, you may not know of the lyrically gifted Parker, an abolitionist, Unitarian minister and Transcendentalist thinker who foresaw the end of slavery, though he did not live to see emancipation. He died at age 49 in 1860, on the eve of the Civil War.”
The mistake no doubt arose from the fact that King later plagiarized the Parker quote in a number of his own speeches. King was nailed for plagiarism on numerous occasions, but the liberal media gave news of that plagiarism as little attention as possible so people would continue to worship the false god, they helped create, just like they buried his penchant for White prostitutes and drunkenness.
So instead of quoting an obnoxious black hypocrite and lecher on his Oval Office carpet, Obama quoted an obnoxious Yankee liberal. Oh well, …close enough.
