You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.
Go back to BroncoMania, go back to BroncosCountry, go back to BroncoNation, go back to the Orange Mane, go back to the slums and ghettos of worthless sites, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in post 801.
I have a dream that one day this forum will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold post 801 to be self-evident: that all post counts are NOT created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the hills of Dove Valley the sons of current Broncos forums and the sons of former Broncos forum owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood in honor of post 801.
I have a dream that one day even the people of other forums, other forums sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis regarding post 801.
I have a dream that my four children will one day live on a forum where they will not be judged by their total post count, but by the fact that they honored the number 801.
I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day, over at the other forums, with their vicious posters, with its MODS having their lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there the other forums, little posting boys and posting girls will be able to join hands with bigger posting boys and posting girls as sisters and brothers honoring post 801.
I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day post 801 shall be exalted, every debate and argument shall be made common, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Broncos shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together the significance of post 801.
This is our hope. This is the faith that I continue to post here with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our forum into a beautiful symphony in honor of post 801. With this faith we will be able to work together, to play together, to drink together, to go to Mile High together, to stand up for post 801 together, knowing that we will be champions again one day.
This will be the day when all Broncos’ fans will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My Broncos, 'tis of thee, sweet land of victory, of thee I sing. Land where my team has won, land of Orange and Blue pride, from every fan inside, let the Broncos WIN."
And if the Broncos are to be a great team this must become true. So let victory ring from the prodigious hilltops of Colorado. Let freedom ring from the mighty Rocky Mountains. Let freedom ring from the heightening salutes of post 801!
Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of Mile High Stadium!
But not only that; let freedom ring from Dove Valley!
Let freedom ring from Broncos fans across this great country!
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of the United States. From every forum, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom to 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 post 801, "Champions at last! Champions at last! Thank God Almighty, we are Champions at last!
