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.

Democrats Boogie Man #6: Predatory Lenders

Everyday when I come home from work, I make sure to say a prayer of thanks to God All Mighty for once again keeping me safe from, dare I say it, Predatory Lenders.

According to politicians like President Obama, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, these critters are out there lurking in the shadows ready to pounce on unsuspecting Americans and force them to borrow money.

But God is good though, because I’ve never seen a PL. Although I’ve heard some stories about their powers of persuasion, still, I have to count my blessings. Many others are less fortunate.

Okay, let’s get back to reality.

The whole concept of the Predatory Lender is yet another Boogie Man Liberals love to create to sway the emotions of the public. It’s about as substantive as cotton candy. But, it gives license to thousands of people who borrowed more money than they could afford, for homes they had no business buying.

Does personal responsibility account for anything anymore?

I guess in the Liberal world, it doesn’t, which is why some people need Democrats to protect them from the big bad lenders throwing money in peoples faces.

But, just in case, I won’t stop praying.

Conservative Reformation

The September 12 march on Washington was more than a huge Tea Party event. D.C. police and network news organizations estimated the throngs of civic-minded Americans of between 1.5 to 2 million people. But, this sea of humanity walking down the heart of our nation’s capital was more than citizens fed up with out-of-control government spending, or Obama Care.

What happened on Saturday was only a glimpse of the awakening of what Richard Nixon once called the Silent Majority. To characterize this event as a seismic shift of attitude towards President Barack Obama’s policies would be a serious miscalculation.

This was no shift!

Truth be told, a sleeping giant who may have taken some concepts of liberty, self determination, a free market economy, and the benefits of small government for granted, have responded to a new call. Many of these people who participated in the protest have never done anything like it in their lives.

This is a very good thing.

These people of many different walks of life were not responding to a cult of personality. Conservatives don’t operate that way. We don’t need too. And for as much as some Conservative writers and politicians tried to mistakenly argue that Conservatism needs to be redefined, or reshaped, or repackaged, or the age of Ronald Reagan is dead, I say look at the amount of people who showed up to make their voices heard.

This is a reformation movement because the people are responding to Conservative ideas that don’t need to be tweaked one bit. They only need to be properly represented. And this is exactly what President Obama and the rest of the Democrats are desperately afraid of.

The Liar’s Game: Only Democrats Can Call Republicans Liar’s and Get Away Scott Free

Let’s take a trip down memory lane, shall we.

Interview with Senator Harry Reid, NBC’s Meet the Press, December 5, 2004

MR. RUSSERT: When the president talked about Yucca Mountain and moving the nation's nuclear waste there, you were very, very, very strong in your words. You said, "President Bush is a liar. He betrayed Nevada and he betrayed the country."

Is that rhetoric appropriate?

SEN. REID: I don't know if that rhetoric is appropriate. That's how I feel, and that's how I felt. I think to take that issue, Tim, to take the most poisonous substance known to man, plutonium, and haul 70,000 tons of it across the highways and railways of this country, past schools and churches and people's businesses is wrong. It's something that is being forced upon this country by the utilities, and it's wrong. And we have to stop it. And people may not like what I said, but I said it, and I don't back off one bit.

Can Harry Reid join Joe Wilson in apologizing in front of congress?

I won’t hold my breath.

Remembering 911

I remember the morning of September 11, 2001. It was an extremely clear day as I was listening to a local hip hop station while riding the LIRR on the way to work. The DJ, who was renewed for his off beat and sometimes off color humor, just announced that a plane had just crashed into the World Trade Center. Then everything outside went black because the train rolled into a tunnel and my radio signal was cut off.

Boy, what a kidder this guy is, to actually joke about something like that.

But, it turned out he wasn’t joking. When I got out the subway, the streets were electric. Sirens were wailing. People were quickly moving about in different directions.

This wasn’t a joke at all.

It turned onto a news station because I wasn’t in the mood to hear music anymore. I thought a terrible accident had happened. This was before I heard on the radio that a second plane crashed into the World Trade Center.

This wasn’t an accident anymore.

Two blocks away from where I worked for all of my adult life, my city was under attack. At that moment, I didn’t know about the people jumping off windows of the WTC because they didn’t want to burn to death. So they jumped dozens of stories to another kind of demise. Some of their bodies simply exploded upon hitting the concrete.

But, that wasn’t the worst of it.

Planes were heading toward Washington D.C. We didn’t know how many planes were in the air and where they were going. One flew into the Pentagon. Another crashed landed in a field in Pennsylvania because some brave Americans on that plane rose up and chose to die on their terms and not of those of the terrorists.

However, in 2009, eight years later, President Barack Obama doesn’t allow us to use the words, “terrorists”, or “war on terror”, anymore. I won’t bother to mention the new phrases that are the official terminology of the Obama administration because they are not only idiotic, but an insult to the memory of all those who died that day.

But, for as long as I live, I WILL NEVER FORGET that day and the people who were responsible. The president can be as politically correct as he wants. For millions of proud, right thinking Americans, we will never forget the true meaning of 911. No matter how others may try to de-emphasis its meaning, we will never forget because we carry the blood of the greatest generation who answered the call of December 7, 1941. And for those who don’t even know the significance of that date, step aside, no change that, get out our way!

We salute and pray for the lives that were lost.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET SEPTEMBER 11, 2001!

The Green Jobs Flim Flam

“America can be the 21st century clean energy leader by harnessing the power of alternative and renewable energy, ending our addiction to foreign oil, addressing the global climate crisis, and creating millions of new Green jobs that can’t be shipped overseas.”
President Barack Obama

You might have heard something about a guy in the Obama administration (Van Jones) who had to make his exit stage right, oh pardon me, stage left over his questionable past. You also might have heard the term, “green jobs” thrown around too.

But, have you ever wondered what the heck is a green job in the first place? It all sounds so murky to me. Robert Reich, former Labor Secretary to Bill Clinton and an economic advisor to President Obama, describes green job as follows:

But there's no reason to think about "green jobs" as simply high-tech. Many low-income and low-skilled workers -- women as well as men -- could be put directly to work providing homes and businesses with more efficient and renewable heating, lighting, cooling, and refrigeration systems; installing solar panels and efficient photovoltaic systems; rehabilitating and renovating old properties, and improving recycling systems. "

It sounds to me, to hear Secy Reich tell it, that these 5 million green jobs that President Obama promised sound like a 21st century euphemism for day laborers hauling solar panels around. Another way of looking at the so-called Green Jobs industry is that it’s President Obama’s version of the WPA which President Franklin D. Roosevelt created to put millions of Americans to work on the public dime.

This is not really a growth industry but rather another attempt to increase the size of government. President Obama is putting a shinny new frame around an old faded photo. He does this because he believes that government is the catalyst for everything. What he doesn’t understand is that government doesn’t create jobs, it makes them them, and there’s a difference.

Private industry, another area where the president knows nothing about and by every action he takes, is hostile toward, creates value and sells it as a product or service. All government does is redistributes value it takes in through fees and taxes paid by the hard work of citizens.

The folly of the so-called green jobs industry is that it is not economically viable. To hear President Obama describe it, oil and coal are derogatory terms. In fact, he never says the word “oil” without adding the word “dirty” in front of it.

Why?

Because he wants to convey an inference that producers of oil and coal are greedy profiteers that pollute the environment with harmful carbon emissions. What he leaves out is that the oil and coal industry employs millions of Americans. Oil runs the turbines that generate electricity that runs our industries. Without the use oil the United States would never have become the greatest economic power in world history.

But, America is the villain in Obama’s world which is why he feels compelled to apologize for her whenever he travels abroad. He has to demonize the oil industry because Liberals like Obama have to make a demon out of somebody or something to convince others that he knows what’s best.
The experiences of the European Union nations, who are 20 years ahead of us in the green industry, demonstrate that “for every green job created, a real job is destroyed in the economy.

Green jobs are going to cost real jobs, if congress passes Cap and Trade.

And the dirty little secret that President Obama and Van Jones wouldn’t fess up to, is that the so-called green jobs is nothing more than a minority jobs plan earmarked for low-income and low-skilled workers.

Who do you think they were talking about?

When testifying in front of congress, Robert Reich said, “"I am concerned, as I'm sure many of you are, that these jobs not simply go to high skilled people who are already professionals or to white male construction workers"

Need I say more?

So, when you hear the talk about green jobs, think of it as the 21st century version of digging ditches back in the 30s under Roosevelt. I’m not saying that good public works weren’t accomplished. But, after the work is done or more likely the money runs out like the recent Cash for Clunkers, another government debacle, where will we be?

It’s back to raising more taxes or borrowing more money from China and putting the country further in the hole that leaves future generations of Americans in debt before they're even born.

The Bible says, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”

I can’t argue with that.

Was Obama Born in Hawaii or Kenya? Step-N-Fetch It Media Doesn’t Care

“Those crazy Birthers!”

That’s what Chris Matthews and other members of the MSM refers to the people in this country who believe that Barack Obama was born outside the United States.

The members of the enslaved press have gone into “protect mode” and have thus far successfully marginalized these people who only want the truth to be settled once and for all. They characterize them as WingNuts, short for Right Wing Conservatives that want to bring down the president.

I don’t know the truth.

But, in light of the Van Jones affair, the MSM has a huge credibility problem and it’s only getting worse.

In Virginia, Republican Bob McDonnell is leading in all the polls for the governorship of the state. Of course the Washington Post, one of the charter members of the MSM, has actually reverted into “journalism mode” by digging up a 20 year old masters thesis written by McDonnel that contain views some might find offensive.

The particulars of what he wrote are not germane to this article. That’s up to the voters of Virginia to mull over and decide their vote.

However, where is this zeal by the MSM concerning Barack Obama’s place of birth?
What’s at issue here is the selective professionalism by the press. They have no problem digging really deep to inform the public about candidates that they differ with ideologically.

But, when it comes to ideological heroes, a wink and a nod suits them just fine.
