A Message to Michael

Recently, Michael Steele, head of the RNC, did a shameful job representing the Republican National Committee (RNC) at De Paul University. In a reply to a student, Mr. Steele showed just how excited he is about being head of the RNC.

Why should an African-American vote Republican?

"You really don't have a reason to, to be honest -- we haven't done a very good job of really giving you one. True? True," Republican National Chairman Michael Steele told 200 DePaul University students Tuesday night.

Now let me get this straight, the head of the RNC could not come up with a reason why an African-American should vote Republican? If the leader of our party cannot tell a black student, or anyone else for that matter, why he or she should vote Republican, he should not be the leader of our party. Perhaps, he could have reminded those students of the following ten reasons I came up with:

1-The liberal leaders of the Democrat Party via their support of abortion has and continues to contribute to the deaths of thousands of black babies since Roe v Wade. If Republicans had contributed to even a fraction of such, there would be an outcry exceeding that of a supersonic boom.

2-Tax cuts to the rich have given jobs to blacks and whites. Now the demonization of the rich will actually hurt blacks more than any other color. Very few poor people provide jobs to anyone.

3-Most nationally known black leaders are bought and paid for by liberal benefactors. Many of these leaders who once called abortion black genocide now heartily support the increase of Planned Parenthood facilities in black communities.

4-Blacks need to see self-reliance as an avenue of liberation instead of government policies. Republican free-market philosophies best provide for self-reliance and prosperity.

5-Republican ideas such as providing vouchers to allow students to attend private schools instead of failing public schools will best aid black liberation.

6-Republicans believe individualism, not the government, should determine a person’s destiny. The Democrat Party knows it has blacks in their pocket as evidenced by the percentage of blacks who perennially vote the democratic party line.

7-Democratic welfare policies have contributed to the decimation of black families. The traditional black family is increasingly becoming extinct.

8-Republicans believe there is a difference between being black and being homosexual. Democrats use civil rights policies to treat gays the same as blacks. One is immutable, one is not, you decide.

9- Republicans believe the constitution means what it says and is not a “living, breathing document.” Liberal interpretations of the constitution continues to lean towards giving the government more rather than less power over our lives.

10-Blacks are not wards of liberalism but thinking individuals who should base their vote on the facts rather than social tradition. Social tradition enslaves while decisions based on facts empower and liberate.

These are just a few of the reasons why blacks should vote Republican. “What say you?”

The Demonization of the Tea Party Movement, as I See It

Within the past weeks, the Tea Party movement has been dubbed as a racist movement. Isolated signs telling of white people’s discontent have been touted as documented proof of this accusation. The object of such media coverage is to build a rift between this movement and people of all colors. The rationale goes like this, “if you can’t beat them, in the arena of ideas, do all you can to minimize their impact.”
Recently, I saw a news clip of a reporter asking a black man if he felt comfortable at a Tea Party meeting. Probably to her surprise, he said ‘these are my people-Americans.’ I am sure her producer swallowed hard before putting that interview on the air. I am certain that in the future, paid minorities by liberal masters will complain of perceived racist treatment and other atrocities at Tea Party meetings.
After a careful examination of this movement, I have come to the following conclusion: Liberals are the real racist. Here’s why:
- The Great Society Program of the 1960’s did little to help the plight of black Americans. Blacks still see the government as a sort of caretaker of their liberties and prosperity instead of using their God-given abilities to move ahead.
- Abortion, a sort of liberal sacrament, has destroyed more black lives than the Ku Klux Klan ever did. Senator Byrd’s old buddies are probably proud of this aspect of liberalism.

- The media recognized black leadership is bought and paid-for by liberalism. Black leaders who once saw abortion as genocide now remain silent as dollars roll in to their accounts.

- The black church, once the womb of black leadership, has become a breeding ground for liberal mouth pieces. Liberation theology has replaced the previous gospel of spiritual dependence upon the God of former generations.

To reiterate, it’s liberalism that should be decried as racist for the atrocities
foisted upon the black race. The Tea Party movement is not a racist movement but one that seeks to inform and empower all Americans who want to see a return to true freedom and self-reliance.

That’s how I see it…”what say you?”

Conservatives, Beware of Distractions

It’s interesting to see how liberals are attacking the Tea Party movement with all kinds of accusations from racism to sedition. That’s interesting because the real racists and seditionists are liberals. Bill Clinton’s attack on protestors is laughable when you consider that he and Hillary could write the book on protests from their earlier days. Rush Limbaugh recently answered the Clinton volley with a masterful review of the reasons for conservative protests. One would think that the liberals would applaud the wonderful opportunity to protest guaranteed by our constitution. Yet I digress…
Conservatives need to keep their eyes on the prize and not on the flies. Liberals tried at first to ridicule the Tea Party constituency by calling them “Tea Baggers,” a reference to unsavory practices actually used by some of the liberal constituents. When that did not work, they pulled the race card. What they did not realize is that the Tea Party movement would be against this government if Mr. Obama was as white as one of Senator Bryd’s old sheets.
Liberals want to keep conservatives from focusing on working to defeat liberal candidates. They will do this by psychological “rop-a-dope” and any method to scatter the movement. Conservatives cannot go for the head fake. We must convene neighborhood meetings, send e-mails, write blogs and use a variety of methods to let people know of the impending danger posed by big government.

Again, conservatives keep your eyes on the prize and not on the flies!

America: One Citizen's View

     I have travelled to over 21 foreign countries during my tenure in a previous job. I found it interesting that people in each country people wanted to come to America, if they got the opportunity. They often said that they liked America because you can be whatever you want to be. Someone called this the gate test meaning that if a gate was opened in each country around the world, people would be more interested in coming to America instead of staying in their country. Why is that?
     Well, unlike many countries, America offers unlimited opportunities to “be all that you can be.” One example of this principle can be found in the life of Joseph Pulitzer of Putlizer Prize fame. He came to America and worked in a variety of vocations before becoming a publishing magnate. Rather than cursing the darkness of his poverty, poor English and physical weaknesses, he kept working until he became successful. As a result of his persistence, the words Pulitzer Prize have become a household name to all of us.
     I have personally benefited from the many opportunities of America. I was born to a single mother and raised by my extended family including my mother, grandparents and cousins. After high school, I went into the military. While in the service, I went to university and got my degree after seven years of “toil, sweat and tears.” I too chose to “light a candle instead of cursing the dark.” That’s the greatness of America…success is not guaranteed, opportunity is.
     Sadly, the policies of the Obama administration tries to level the playing field of success instead of opportunity. Each person has individual desires. Those desires may inspire one person to become a doctor while another may become a construction worker. As long as you chase your dream, then so be it!
