Republicans Continue To Be Cowards Concerning Race

I’m beginning to get alarmed over what I’m seeing lately. Maybe I’m overreacting. But, I get the feeling that the GOP can make a mess of a good situation.

President Obama has been exposed for the empty suit that he is and still the GOP is still acting timidly not wanting to engage when opportunity knocks.

John McCain this morning refused to say that Harry Reid should resign his position as Senate Majority leader for making racially insensitive comments about Barack Obama. McCain was being McCain when he refused to go that road. But, where is Mitch McConnell, Eric Cantor, or other prominent voices calling for Reid’s resignation?

Why is it that only talk radio and Michael Steele are doing the heavy lifting?

This is why I’m worried!

We have too many, forgive me Lord, CHICKEN SHIT Republicans that are too timid to engage Democrats in any rhetorical battle that involves race. Nonetheless, in this case, which can be another teaching moment for the American people, Republicans refuse to point out that when Trent Lott praised Strom Thurmond’s run for president in 1948, Republicans sat back and let Democrats label Thurmond as only a segregationist without also pointing out that he was A DEMOCRAT at the time.

Can we get the history straight once and for all?

Oh nooooo waaaaay!

As soon as it becomes about race, Republicans run and hide. They never speak up for their own history in which they were the party that freed the slaves.

Republicans were the party who supported Civil Rights legislation.

It was the Democrats like Robert Byrd, William Fullbright-Bill Clinton’s mentor, and Al Gore Sr. who dragged their feet kicking and screaming to set Blacks free and let them vote and let them have equal access to public accommodations.

I’m sick of this soft attitude that refuses to fight ruthless Democrats that won’t hesitate to use racial politics to destroy any Republican at any time and they do it over and over again because Republicans are too scared to put up a fight.

So what else do we do?

We take pot shots at Michael Steele.

Oh, that really helps the cause.

For example, a blog well worth reading, My Voice on the Wings of Change takes Steele to task for a variety of reasons. And I have my problems with Steele also.

Nevertheless, how is publicly criticizing him helpful in this environment when Democrats will be all too happy to use it as a wedge against Conservatives?

Can we get our act together?

Please?

Obama Media Distorting Michael Steele’s Comments: Harry Reid Should Resign

The Obama-controlled media is in full cover Reid’s ass mode by already misrepresenting what Michael Steele said on Fox News Sunday.

If you look at a report from Politico calling Steele a flip-flopper for insisting that former Republican Majority leader Trent Lott didn’t need to resign in 2002 for comments he made about Strom Thurmond that Democrats found offensive, but instead calling for Reid’s resignation for his remarks calling Barack Obama “light skinned” and without “negro dialect”.

Look at what Steele actually said.




As you can see Steele is calling for Reid’s resignation not solely because of what Reid said about Obama, but because if the Republican leader in Lott had to resign for offensive comments, then Reid should also be made to resign for his offensive comments.

It’s totally irrelevant what Steele’s position was concerning Lott’s resignation, but the MSM is using it to discredit Steele’s argument that there should be only one standard for all politicians instead of separate standards for Democrats and Republicans

Harry Reid apologizes for "light skinned" remark about Obama

Senate Majority leader Harry Reid had to apologize on Saturday for referring to President Barack Obama as “light-skinned” with “no Negro dialect”. Reid, whose poll numbers are dropping like the temperature accross the country, chose to perform the mia culpa because his racially insensitive remarks will appear in an upcoming book about the 2008 prudential campaign.

This is the same Harry Reid who compared Republicans to those in the South who wanted keep slavery as the status quo, for their opposition to ObamaCare.

As I’ve argued before on this blog, Harry Ried willfully misrepresented the history of his own party on the Senate floor in which Democrats were the original enslavers of Black people and it was Democrats like Robert Byrd, formerly of the KKK, who filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

I’m not shocked by these remarks by Reid because it is indicative of the deception of the Democrat Party who has successfully hoodwinked Blacks into thinking the former slave owners and segregationalists like Democrat George Wallace who once famously said, “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!”, are their friends in all things political.

Every now and then the true colors of the Democrat Party slips out. And that's what happened with Reid.

Don’t expect the African American community to reevaluate their allegiance to the Democrat party because for them and the Democrats, the enslavement of minds to a false history still continues.

And the plantation is still open for business.

GOP Still Refuses to Refute Harry Reid’s Slavery Comments

These are Democrats. Ask Sen Byrd.


Remember that line from the movie, Animal House, about committing a really futile gesture?

That’s what I feel like a week after senate majority leader Harry Reid made his outlandish comments about Republicans wanting to stop ObamaCare and Slavery, after doing a Youtube search hoping to find a Republican, any Republican, willing to set the record straight.

I know Mitch McConnell and the other Republicans senators have their hands full offering up amendments highlighting the problems with the healthcare bill the Dems are trying to shove down America’s throat.

I get that.

However, Reid’s comments must be answered by somebody either on the Senate or House specifically refuting the fallacious history of the Democrat party, the original enslavers of Black people and the history of Democrats dragging their collective feet on every Civil Rights bill.

Being offended by Reid’s comments is unacceptable. The GOP has to be more than offended. They have to proactively and categorically set the matter clean.

Democrats were the party of Slavery.

Democrats were the party of Segregation.

And Democrats are the party of Socialism.

I urge all my fellow bloggers to post your own storues about this issue because the Republican party for far too long has allowed he Dems to continue this hogwash for over 40 years.

Until then I post any video from anyone willing to set the record straight as futile as it may be.

Democrats Pull Out Race Cards because it Works on Target Audience-Black Folks

For years whenever somebody asked me, "Why are you a Conservative?", my response has always been, "Why aren’t you?”

What usually follows after that is I'd see dumbfounded expression on their faces, mouths would usually drop to the floor, and they would say one of the following statements:

• Conservatives are for the rich
• Conservatives are racists
• Conservatives are for White people


There's some other common responses, but these three in essence capture the overall sentiments of most Black folks or Latinos for that matter. This mind set has been around for nearly 50 years. It’s a mindset that has enslaved people of color for far too long.

Jimmy Carter, a supporter of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas who are dedicated to the destruction of the state of Israel, and as president presided over a weak economy that featured double-digit inflation, double-digit interest rates, and double-digit unemployment, and while under his watch Americans were held hostage for 444 days in Iran by a bunch of rag-tag Iranian thugs, thinks he has the moral authority to cast aspersions on the character of fellow Americans and accuse them of being racists for simply disagreeing with President Obama’s policies.

Pulling out the accusation of Racism is a favorite tactic of Liberals and it is often used because they can never win arguments on the merits. They insidiously know that the strategy works on the intended audience-people of color. It its used because the tactic helps to reinforce a mindset. It’s the same kind of mindset that would lead a group of Black teenagers to accuse a friend of trying to be “white” just because he wanted to stay home and study his schoolwork.

How long will the mind lock continue?

Shame only seems to work when it comes to political affiliation. Black people are shamed into voting Democrat by other Black people only because they have been fed the same group think. They don’t want to be seen as being different because the cost of social isolation is too high. The Democrat party knows this and continues to oil the wheels of mimdlock.

How long will the mind lock continue?

How about thinking for yourself and deciding on your own as to what your values really are?

I’m a proud Conservative and I vote for the candidate that matches my values. Most Black people and Latinos are really conservatives. But when it comes to politics, the community shame that tells them how they should to think, kicks in. So they go and vote for the candidate that supports the murder of the unborn (abortion).

50 million babies snuffed out since 1973.

It's the American Holocaust America doesn't want to acknowledge. But, that's only one issue where Black folks vote against their conscience and still continue to support the Democrat Party who are the chief defenders of abortion.

Democrats love to paint Republicans as racists. But did you know that of all the lynching that went on in America, an overwhelming majority of them were perpetrated by Democrats?

How long will the mind lock continue?

When Lincoln freed the slaves, your minds were included in the deal.
