FROM THE DESK OF THE EXCEPTIONAL CONSERVATIVE

Someone has got to do it!  It is dirty and seems a misguided exploration of territory and even uncommon waste of resources.  Christians will yell at you for forsaking the First Two Commandments: “Love the Lord Your God With All of Your Heart,  With All of Your Soul, With All of Your Strength and With All of Your Mind and Your Neighbor as Yourself (Luke 10:27).”  Teetotalers of the First Amendment shall condemn you for your onerous disdain of the Founding Fathers and their observance of free speech among individual and corporate citizen alike.  Private Property Guardians will assault you as cynics seeking to undo the principles of intellectual and private property.   Liberals will assail your integrity for not moving faster with the newly inferred powers of public officials at every level by the radical Supreme Court which, for the sake of expediency, deemed socialism the preferred style of governance over the land by the measure of restraint in taxation of the corporate and individual citizen.  Listen, it took millenniums for mankind to reach the seventh heaven.  Know that installing Utopian state sponsored tyranny upon the universe may take another generation.

Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.

Most of Amerikka has been up in arms about Dan Cathy’s comments on traditional marriage.  Before July 2012, most had never even heard of Mr. Cathy.  Turning from a music career as a trumpeter, Mr. Cathy joined Chick-Fil-A in 1970 and, since 2001, serves as President and Chief Operating Officer.  Chick-fil-A has steadily grown to become the second largest quick-service chicken restaurant chain in the United States, with over 1,615 locations in 39 states and Washington, D.C. [Note to Mayor Vincent Gray: You should pay as much attention to the companies residing in your city as you pay to those that handle your campaign finances.  By the way, as a Roman Catholic, I would think that you would know that there is a Chick-Fil-A at Catholic University.  Take it up with the Priest at the next confessional.].  In 2011, annual sales were over $4.1 billion. Chick-fil-A is still privately held and family owned.  In 2011, Consumer Reports ranked Chick-Fil-A the Nation’s Top Chicken Chain.  J. D. Powers, in 2010, ranked it top restaurant brand in customer satisfaction.  In 2008, Men’s Health recognized Chick-Fil-A as America’s Healthiest Restaurant Chain for Children.

Truth is, my entire life has been spent around Chick-fil-A and watching my dad, S. Truett Cathy, build an organization that is as much about people as it is chicken.

Why would such a successful man and excellent organization have difficulty in connecting with the Mayors of the Most Powerful Cities in America: Washington, DC.; Chicago, Illinois; Boston, Massachusetts; and San Francisco, California?  While many of you will immediately affix yourself to the concept of God, I would probably confound you by saying that it is the least of the concerns of the Left.  God has been erased from most conversations in Urban American politics.  The ever extensive reach of Black Liberation Theology and its Marxist-Leninist Tenets has all but reduced the number of Urban American, Biblical World View ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a mere remnant easily hidden in the caves of orthodox seminaries or buried in pulpit depth charts.  God has such little place in the state sponsored societies of Urban America.  It is easier to blame “some” in the Universal Church for the  deficiencies of racial prejudice and fiscal greed as the reasons that the social justice gospel outside of the predominant favor of government influence has failed.  Easily asked, yet drawing a breath of many in the reluctance to answer, “How many of your churches have more fliers and advertisements from your federal, state, county and local government about “social justice programs” that provide medical, housing and clothing to the “poor” than ministerial notices of support to the “poor”?  The Urban American Church has placed the responsibility of caring for the sick, the homeless and the poor on the “taxpayer” because it is only “fair” that we all give “equally” to the needs of the poor.  The fabric of a Biblical World View in Urban America has been eroding since 1964.  Thus, God is not the issue.

The real issue is the common standard of achievement.  What are you talking about, Ken?  Can you not see that the Progressives are trying to take away your rights and liberties?  Yes, I can.  Can you not see that they are attacking a man simply because he offered his personal opinion?  Yes, I can.  Conservatives, I must provoke you so that you realize where  the real battlefield is.  The Progressives left the soft, safe conservative confines of the United States Constitution on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 with the inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States.  The Progressives’ interest was never the economy, energy, foreign policy or any other Constitutional requirement of Congress.  It was about obtaining the last ring of conquest: socialized medicine.  In the moment that President Barack Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), Progressives had ended their War on Natural Rights.  Every American, by choice and force, had surrendered their political rights, guaranteed by Sovereign God, installed by our Founding Father’s in the US Constitution, for economic rights, guaranteed by a state sponsored assembly of mankind, installed by the radical interpretation of the US Constitution by electorates, Congress, President and Supreme Court.  Unless the Second Bill of Rights is repealed then, the US Constitution established by the Founding Father’s is virtually dead.  In its absence, a new Constitution is being written but only, for this moment, on the hearts of men.

Common Standard of Achievement is the new spike in the Progressive Railroad to Tyranny.  What is Common Standard of Achievement.  Let’s critically think this through.  Common is defined as “pertaining or belonging equally to an entire community, nation, or culture; public”.  There is no private.  Success is a public investment and public outcome.  Wealth created from innovation is not private property but belongs to state.  In the very first paragraph of the “Virginia Declaration of Rights” written by George Mason in 1776, it proclaims:

“That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.”

 

Thomas Jefferson would later use this reasoning for the founding principle of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” in the Declaration of Independence.  No private property or private success then, no life or liberty.

Standard is defined as “something considered by an authority or by general consent as a basis of comparison; an approved model.”.   Modern Liberal Economics would have you believe that there are not two distinct economies, one private and the other public but one, public.  Their analysis in the public economy portends that the universal economy is beholding to the unlimited resources confiscated by government and that by daring to raise revenue, increase taxes, the confiscator would stir the universal economy through unique investment opportunities (government spending) that would produce innovation (new government programs) and equal stabilizing growth for every citizen, corporate and individual (fair and shared costs of effort).  Such artists of Keynesian Theatrics fail to realize the boundaries of governmental intervention and how too great a manipulation of money supply creates artificial growth in specific industries (Banking Industry, GM, Solyndra, etc) while resulting in a weakened economic recovery.  Bleeding the economy with more stimulus will only slow the inevitable outcome of a cataclysmic economic outcome like a depression.  Private industry determines the profitability of a project based on risk and reward and not the nobility of purpose or access to unlimited funding.  Private pursues profit in order to create jobs, innovation and investments in capital and production.  Profit is not a curse word unless defined by the marketers of governmental intervention.  Yet, the model that is preferred of men is private since it grants ownership and authority to the individual or corporate citizen.  Government, the state entity, is insatiable and until it confiscates the whole, none of its noble approaches to solving the individual problems of mankind will ever come to fruition.  Government was not created by free-market capitalists to ever be so large that it would so negatively influence the general marketplace.  There are those that wish to hurry the state sponsored marketplace in order to eliminate the private marketplace.  Installing socialism unto the next generation requires the acceptance of community/social/state property over private and intellectual property.  Public modeling must prevail in order to satisfy the new standard.

Achievement is defined as  ”something accomplished, especially by superior ability, special effort, great courage, etc.; a great or heroic deed”.  It seems that only Exceptional Americanism can be validated where there is a primary role of government.  The only courageous projects, developments or ideals were pursued by those invested in, selected by or submitted to the state.  Hoover Dam is referred to by the President.  However, it was not Hoover Dam that came before private land speculation and economic development.  The latter came first.  However, it is so sexy to blame the government for the great successes of America because the noble idea was always completed without fault or error,  by the resources of the private and corporate citizen.  So who shall tell the story?  Whom must do the indoctrination?  Only those that have a “bully” pulpit.  Their command of the liberal press offers the greatest reach for the new message.  To whom?  Certainly not you!  You are the reason that America has failed.  The New America shall not depend on the individual or the corporation to solve our problems.  Only the State can plan for the unnatural and natural conditions to help its people overcome their limitations in wisdom, experience, effort, courage and ability.  For the State to continuing prospering, it must convince the potential convert that the final noteworthy accomplishment of anything is source in the Sovereignty of government and not man.

Yes, President Obama’s Roanoke, VA Speech is not an accident.  It was the signal to the Progressives to begin an all-out assault on the next generation of thinkers.  They, our children–adult and and grand–will rely upon those recognized as Urban American authoritarians to establish the Common Standard of Achievement.  Without this conversion, the hope for a Universal Declaration of Human Rights dims.  It is possible that a revolution to fundamentally return Amerikka to its political rights alone as unto the Founding Fathers, will take place before Progressives can wield their powerful new authority.  Even New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg encourages the State to exert collective force upon the citizenry in order that citizens relinquish their Second Amendment Rights.

“I don’t understand why the police officers across this country don’t stand up collectively and say, ‘We’re going to go on strike. We’re not going to protect you. Unless you, the public, through your legislature, do what’s required to keep us safe…’”

Yet, this seems unlikely with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, DC Mayor Vincent Gray, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino all blasting Chick-fil-A for the statements of Dan Cathy.  By the Old Standard, our Constitution would preclude us from focusing to greatly on the blustering of City Leaders.  The New Constitution carved onto our hearts by authors like Obama and Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts requires us to put greater faith in their blustering for they may be empowered to execute even the most idle threat.

The installation of the tenets of socialism, at least at its most frightening level of state sponsored human rights, requires public servants to rebel against the confines of their duties and instigate the eventual revolt of the workers (mob), aligning themselves with the defenders of the one perfect opinion of the state, against constructs and protectors of the rule of law.  The New Constitution points to the taxpayer as the public servant and the elected official as the ruler of the common good.  Every individual and corporate citizen must be able to point to their achievement from the Sovereignty of the Noble State and not from the Sovereignty of a Omniscient, Omnipotent and Inerrant God.  The Savior and Redeemer of the Nation must be the wisdom of the central planning organization that remedied the challenges of nature and man to grant a level outcome for all that subsist under its authority.  It seems that when all is said and done that the high ground will have its Pyrrhic victory and the Barbarians of ideology will all but flee from the land with only the echoes of their unflattering hurl of curses as witness of their presence.  The Progressives have moved on from the US Constitution and are proceeding with quickened steps towards the Utopian idealism of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Conservatives, the battlefield has moved and the Progressives hope that you focus on everything but radically transforming Amerikka back to America.

     LGBT Month has not shone kindly upon America’s First Gay President, Barack Hussein Obama.  His Campaign’s Budget for Re-Election is emulating his overall governing style of the federal budget.  The Obama Campaign will fall short of its anticipated goal of $1 Billion in fundraising.  While President Obama has $110 million on hand, his campaign is spending $5.5 million dollars a month more than they raise.  That’s OK because the Boss set the example, through continuing resolutions, by spending $1.2 trillion more than the Treasury collects in tax and fee revenues.  However, the Campaign seems a sugar and spice distraction from the disconcerting happenings of the world around him.  Italy, Spain and Greece have raised a mighty finger towards the Utopian wealth distribution dreams of the President.  As such, Americans have watched their 401-K statements become drenched in the red ink of stock market losses.  The Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has announced that the economy requires more printing of dollars in order to ease the fall of a weak recovery.   The Fed Chairman made this decision based on the Bureau of Labor’sannouncement on the relative strength of Vice-President Joe Biden’s “Summer of Recovery“.  Scott Walker won in Wisconsin and the SEIU lost in the Supreme Court.  Speaking of the SCOTUS, we are moments away from observing whether Obama must schedule an Immigration Apology Tour for Alabama and Arizona.  We are moments away from receiving SCOTUS’ ruling on Obama’s Signature Piece of Legislation: Obama Care.  Beyond all of this, the Blues Brothers–Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder–have decided to double down on reckless by enacting executive privilege on documents requested by Congress in its investigation of a gun smuggling and money laundering project executed by the United States Department of Justice.  We are literally moments away from a determination as to whether Obama’s Term as President can best be described as “The Waste, Fraud and Abuse Act of 2008″.

Today, the forces that push for gun control seem to be heavily (though not exclusively) allied with political factions that are committed to dramatic increases in taxation on the middle class. While it would be hyperbole to compare higher taxes on the middle class to the suffering and deprivation of sharecropping or slavery, the analogy of disarming those whom you wish to economically disadvantage, has a certain worrisome validity to it.

Clayton E. Cramer , The Racist Roots of Gun Control, 1993

     While it would be very easy to draw from the living waters of failure and write of any of the subjects above, I believe that a major issue screams out:  THE PROGRESSIVES WAR on theSECOND AMENDMENT.  Before I approach the risks of losing the Second Amendment because of the molested affections of progressive drones,  I must interject my strongest disdain for those willing to trade their Godly inheritance for a supper.   It should be our greatest fear to elect or appoint to any office an individual that subscribes to the philosophies and talking points of the Progressive Movement.  Since the beginnings of this country, there have been those that have pursued death rather than life, oppression rather than liberty and the misery of fairness rather than the pursuit of happiness.  They have cloaked themselves in the lamb’s wool of noble, good intentions towards the needy, the disenfranchised and the conditionally disadvantaged.  However, they wrestle with a wolf’s fur of patient, unceasing desire that allows them to adjust their passions while convincing the weakest among us to exchange their unalienable, Creator endowed rights for the economic assurances of man deigned liberties.  Cramer writes,” Today, the same elitist rhetoric regards law-abiding Americans in the same way, as child-like creatures in need of guidance from the government.  In the last century, while never openly admitted, one of the goals of disarming blacks was to make them more willing to accept various forms of economic oppression, including the sharecropping system, in which free blacks were reduced to an economic state not dramatically superior to the conditions of slavery.”  The Progressives have had as their utter ambition an undeveloped underclass that willfully accepts monetary support from the State in lieu of any real legislative, executive or judicial influence or pursuit of political right through the protections of the US Constitution.

     President Franklin Delano Roosevalt was so certain that the US Constitution had failed that he offered a Second Bill of Rights.  President Roosevelt, in his Infamous January 11, 1944 State of the Union address to Congress, informs, “We have come to a clear realization of the fact that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence…Necessitous men are not free men…People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.”  The perfect storm, when Esau would finally succumb to Isaac, is what Progressives have sought.  That storm would be composed of a world headed to a seemingly insolvable economic crisis and, due to financial hardships beyond their control, citizens willingly submit their rights for sustenance–food stamps, green jobs and the guarantees of already bankrupt noble institutions like Social Security and Medicare.  There is a price to be paid.  One must sacrifice their ability to defend themselves for the fruit of another man’s labor.  William Barclay said, “Self-defense is a part of the law of nature; nor can it be denied the community, even against the king himself.”  When one is lacking in their Trust of God, it seems far better to place a trust in the material promises of Earth’s princes.

     For as long as there have been free men willing to protect their country and their property, there have been those seeking to undue such a Godly deed.  Urban pioneers know this better as the Democrats cultural commitment to gun control.  On December 15, 1791, the thirteen states of the new union ratified the Bill of Rights.  One of the ten critical Rights included the Second Amendment.  It states, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”  From that period in American History to include the Revolutionary War, the Great Expansion and Settling of the Wild West, the War of 1812, the Civil War and World War I, no federal law was passed to infringe upon the right of US citizens to bear arms.  Then, the perfect storm arrives: The Great Depression.

     The masses heard the cries of those that sought to provide “the relief, recovery and reform” that the US Constitution could not offer.  The Progressives proffered a need to rid the world of waste, fraud and abuse that the strict Constitutionalists had no interest in eliminating.  World renown historian William Leuchtenburg wrote, “The Progressives believed in the Hamiltonian concept of positive government, of a national government directing the destinies of the nation at home and abroad. They had little but contempt for the strict construction of the Constitution by conservative judges, who would restrict the power of the national government to act against social evils and to extend the blessings of democracy to less favored lands. The real enemy was particularism, state rights, limited government.”  With the US Constitution deemed a fierce and intolerable enemy, the Progressives cloaked themselves in relief and recovery and began their reform assault.

     In FDR’s First 100 Days, he focused on “making banks safer”.  By the way, Obama’s First 100 Days Focus was the banks.  FDR was criticized for not nationalizing the banks.  Obama has a Back-Door Option of Nationalizing: converting preferred shares into common stock.  FDR used his Democrat House and Democrat Senate to pass the first federal gun control legislation: National Firearms Act (NFA).  The crisis: gangsters (or “good people, citizens”) had access to “gangster weapons”–machine guns, short-barreled shotguns and other weapons and the state’s and cities’ armed forces weren’t packing that kinda heat.  Advantage: criminal (who was, is and will always be able to get such weapons without permit or tax).  FDR says lets make certain that good people or citizens are unable to buy such military grade weaponry without a tax.  In 1934, a new gun purchase tax of $200 was levied which was the equivalent of $2,525 per gun in today’s currency.  Obama focused on nationalizing health care.  Err, his mind, heart and soul was also on guns: Fast and Furious.

     What better way to eliminate free market, capitalism in the gun industry than to create a crisis of such global proportions that nationalization is the only option?  I give you the D-O-J.  Using a former Bush DOJ program as an outline, President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder crafted a way to nationalize the gun industry, federalize gun control, eliminate the natural self defense rights of citizens and move the United States one step closer to submitting its Sovereignty under the United Nations; all while, without permission of the Mexican government, forcing gun shop owners to disobey federal and state laws by selling guns and ammunition to known inter-country criminals and money laundering for drug cartels.  The unfortunate thing with any noble government program is that it eventually fails due to incompetence or malfeasance.  Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and ICE Agent Jaime Zapata were murdered by individuals using Fast and Furious Guns.  Mexican Officials estimate that over 300 persons have been murdered and 20,000 injured as a result of criminals using Fast and Furious Guns.  The Obama Administration was going for the knock-out blow to the Second Amendment.  FDR, Woodrow Wilson and Lyndon Banes Johnson would have been so proud.  Today, we observe the worst of the Richard M Nixon Administration and Jimmy Carter Administration in a anachronistic, political swan dive on the world stage.

     The Democrat Party and Progressives have done much to keep the Black community in a state of defenselessness and our community has done mighty works in order to align itself with the principles of those that seek its demise.  The Progressives have convinced many that a “felon” on the DC City Council better represents “the least, the last and the lost” than someone determined to eliminate the conditions that make them  ”the least, the last and the lost”.  Many a murder would have not been committed in communities where poverty persists if individuals understood, enforced and elected representatives that supported their natural right to defend themselves.  However, for urban lifestylists, that would require a higher commitment to personal responsibility and a loss of dependence on the state for protection.  Union shake-down artists would have no body to depend for exorbitant pensions, salaries and give-backs in lieu of the taxpayers “conspicuous consumption”.  It is amazing what the individual and family can do when the State gets out of the way.  Urban Progressives hope that you never have the chance to experience the liberty and freedom of self-control.  It is just so much easier trusting in the god of gun-control.

From The Desk of The Exceptional Conservative Show

     The Great Philosopher Confucius preached of governmental and personal morality, honorable social relationships, just living and sincerity.  He wrote, “In a country well-governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of.  In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.”  This is the tale of two Presidential Administrations in the US and an impending calamity that will occur after the next Presidential election.  Under President George W. Bush, the nation was guided through the hymnal of shame at the excess of the wealthy.  It spurred many employed persons to complain that the wealthy ought to pay more taxes and be more fair with the distribution of their property.  The United States became ashamed of the large number of poor persons that were unable to find work (average unemployment rate for two terms was about 5%) and would have to live off of food stamps and welfare (28 million).  Today, President Barack Hussein Obama speaks of the poisonous “silver spoon” that has oppressed the poor and middle class.  Capitalism, under the Bush administration, has been a noose around the necks of those that have prospered outside of union manipulation, corrupted market systems and government sponsored endeavors.  Only a mighty stimulus will reward those that seek life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness  from the fountains of Central Planning Organizations.  Obama has clearly defined, for the masses of people that ride their BMW’s (Bus/Metro Train/Walk) to the Mall to watch TV since they can not afford the increased costs of utilities in their homes, that America’s greatest shame is not its poverty but its wealth.  The media continues its propaganda rantings about the economic successes of the current Administration.  However, more people than ever are out of work (greater than 8% today) and nearly twice as many people are living off of food stamps and welfare (47 million).  In the cabinet drawer of life, Obama’s disdain for the “silver spoon” of wealth creation has not been lost on his preference for the “golden spoon” of entitlement.  Confucius says, “Do not impose on others what you do not desire yourself.”  If Confucius were around today then, by the numbers, I believe that he would say that George Bush governed well in comparison to President Obama.  So whom wears this shame?  It is worn by the American citizens that empowered a economic neophyte to take the helm of the most powerful Nation in the world on the clandestine promise of “hope and change”!

     Let us be absolutely transparent.  TAXMAGGEDON is REAL.  It is a ruthless attempt to penalize those that will not vote the current president out of office.  Those that will suffer most will be those that he says he holds most dear: the poor and middle class.  Taxmaggedonis a $500 Billion Hammer that Obama and his Democrat Senate plans to throw at the heads of American taxpayers.  This added to the Sickle of Obama Care Taxes on the Red Background of our gloomy national deficit of $16 Trillion and you get a pretty good idea of the direction that class envy will take you.  Obama has always chosen class envy over prudent economic policy.  Class envy makes enemies of fiscal conservatives, appeasers of moderating Independents and Republicans in Name Only and moralists of Marxists, Socialists and Keynesian Theorists on Steroids.  In observance of the class envy, politicking in the US has changed.  It makes multimillionaire politicians feel as if they have to apologize for their success and at times, for the success of their ancestors.   There it is.  It is a shame to earn, inherit or invest wealth.  It must be given to you by the great bureaucrats of the ever expanding central government.  But Ken, I just filed my 2011 Tax Return.  Why are we even talking about this?  I believe that this moment warrants a sincere consideration of an immense and deadly financial tsunami that will soon broach the paychecks of laborers, the capital gains of investment portfolios and the philanthropic resources of non-profit agencies.

     For the “We Got You Back, Obama” clientele, nothing I proclaim will make sense to you.  Your answers are written on golden tablets buried beneath the Oak tree under which you slumber awaiting Obama to pay for your gas and your mortgage.  However, for those awakened by the fall of ACORNs, you will understand that absolute allegiance will cost you and your grandchildren a fortune.  Let’s start with the basics.  The Obama Tax Cuts will expire on December 31,2012.  Yes, the same man that brought you the infamous “Make Work Pay” Credit [STAND WITH THE WORKERS OF AMERICA.  USSA.  USSA.] is proud of his seventeen (17) small business tax cuts.  However, they too shall pass.  The Bush Tax Cuts will expire on December 31, 2012.  Despite what Madam Rachel tells you on MSLSD, the Bush Tax Cuts were more profitable for the poor and middle class than for the wealthy.

 

The report states that on Jan. 1 the doubling of the child tax credit, increased standard deductions and income credits and the creation of the 10 percent tax bracket — all of which primarily aimed at non-wealthy taxpayers — will vanish if gridlock persists in Washington.

While wealthier taxpayers pay more in taxes and stand to lose more money if the tax cuts expire, the impact on low-income taxpayers will be far greater because they live on slimmer margins.

Tax Foundation Report, October 2010  [http://thehill.com/blogs/on-the-money/domestic-taxes/123131-study-expiration-of-bush-tax-cuts-will-hit-poorer-workers-hardest]

Why do you say this, Ken?  Well, can you imagine being a Head of Household earning just $12,400 per year from your part time labor at Smokey’s Juke Joint ad watching the Federal government take 15% of your pay instead of the 10% that “W” said was enough to pay the federal bills.  Starting in January 2013, you will pay $1,860 rather than $1,240.  That’s an additional $620 to Big Pimp Uncle Sam.  You go player.  You gotta get that dollar bill y’all!  Man, you are making a mountain out of a molehill.  They will make that up in Earned Income monies and writing their kids off on taxes.  In 2012, the head of household parent with three children received $5,891 in Earned Income Tax Refundable Credits.  In 2013, she will receive $4,140.  Yeah, that negative $1,751 will make up for the loss of $620 made payable to Big Daddy Uncle Sam.  Oh yeah, those kids!  She received a Child Tax Credit of $1,000 per child in 2012.  In 2013, it falls 50% to $500.  You see under President Bush, the Head of Household Filer did pretty well.  As Obama exits, they will suffer mightily.  In fact, the Bush Tax Cutsgreatly rewarded those that the Far Left deem are the poor and middle class.  With low unemployment rates, many were able to escape the fiscal confines of governmental tax-ploitation from the Democrat Tax and Send Lobby.  This led to increased consumer and industrial spending and an expansion of the economy.

     This Message Is Not One spoken of Well by Urban Democrat Tax and Spenders or Carried Well by Conservatives.  For Urban Democrats, lower taxes do irreparable harm to their influential powers built upon class and caste envy, government dependence and wealth distribution.  Under the assault of lower taxes, people begin to ask three essential questions that eradicate the need for the Democrat Party.  The first is “If government can run on less, why do they need so much of my money?”  This speaks to the corruption and inefficiency that comes with government intervention into the daily lives of the citizen.  Every cause of Man becomes a noble requirement of citizens to devote a portion of their incomes.  We are not looking for a “real” solution but merely project or program that will help us cope with the ruin that was done by Man.  Since it was Man, or the citizen, that caused the ailment which required the noble cause, a “pure” organization must step forward to oversee the correction of the problem.  This pure organization must select the most elite thinkers to oversee the regulation of its competitors–free market capitalists–and fairly pay those that wish to such noble labor.  While fairness is the hallmark of the  effort, the elite recognize that some workers are better than other workers and must unite them to maintain control of the effort.  This nobility requires more pay and benefits than the other knaves.  Each has security and performs labor.  However, citizens are assured that for additional project and program costs that the project or program will keep people employed and the city, state or federal government working towards the noble effort.  Notice how we moved from an efficient effort to correct a problem to a noble effort to maintain those in employment to manage the problem.  Corruption of effort leads to corruption of purpose.  The corrupted purpose is not self-sufficient.  It is built on noble reasoning and funded on the fear that Man will not solve the problem and only Government can manage it.  Hence, more money is needed to do much with little outcome. The purpose has allowed the government to grow and burden the people.  The citizens are divided: (1) those that recognize waste, fraud and abuse and (2) those that wish to maintain their pre-eminent source of wealth and will do, by any means necessary, to secure its source of power and influence.

The second is, “Can we do without government doing this for us?”  This question requires exploration and examination.  in Urban America, such exploration is deemed fruitless and harmful at once.  There are some in Washington, DC that can not imagine a private trash company ridding the city of refuse at a reduced cost.  There are some in Washington, DC that will not envision the parent having the power to choose the school for the child based on the needs of the student, the overall performance of the school and the direct access to taxpayer funds to fully support their decision.  At one time, we were trained to become doctors, lawyers and entrepreneurs.  Today, students in our community, are encouraged to become government workers and study social work.  The studies of Math, Science and the Constitution are deemed too hard.  How can a people that are unable to get a Voter ID actually run a marketing company that notifies the community of changes in transportation, provide needed care to the poor or represent them justly in discord without government?  It goes without saying that the only way to manage poverty is to allow government to involve itself in the daily lives of its citizens.  The only way to overcome it is to get government out of the daily lives of its citizens.  Such examination is profitable and will lead to liberty.  This is at all disdained by the Democrat power brokers and their Urban Poverty Pimps that govern Metropolitan areas.

     The last is, “Whose money is this anyway?”  It’s amazing the number of friends that I have on Face Book with a Blue D surrounded by a Blue Circle in their Information area.  This is their Face Book tattoo for being a member of the Democrat Party.  However, if you ever pose this question, you get a sincere renegade-like retort.  ”My money is my money!” Often, this is the same response I hear in marriage counseling with young couples.  ”His money is My Money and My Money is My Money!”  Yes, get the Divorce Papers together now.  Possession seems the important virtue of wealth accumulation.  However, the same individuals misunderstand the power that they lose and the power that a centralized federal government gains in the articles of this possession.  When possession is the essential link to success, you are not willing to succumb to a natural requirement to give as needed.  You understand that there a noble causes that you can give to without prodding however, greed separates you from such activity.  Someone else can take care of this problem.  I don’t have it to give to those that can do best in managing it.  This is why an all-powerful government suits the Tax and Spend Democrat.  It removes their Will to Give and Replaces it with the Patriotic Duty of Hiring Someone to Do It For Them.  While Conservatives would prefer to battle the Invisible of Free Markets, Liberals feel most comfortable when the Visible Hand of Taxation automatically withholds funds from them to answer the most noble challenges of the day like funding Government Services Administration (GSA) Trips to Las Vegas or meddling in the private business affairs of mankind by funding Solyndra.  To the Conservative, every penny that you earned is yours and to the Liberal, every penny that government allows you to keep is yours.  Government in Urban America has spent the past eighty years indoctrinating people to incrementally reduce their Trust in themselves and God and incrementally increase their Trust in Government.

In 1964, when President Lyndon Johnson declared a “war on poverty” in America, the poverty rate stood at around 19 percent.

Since then, total federal, state, and local spending on anti-poverty programs has amounted to $15 trillion, yet the poverty rate now stands at 15.1 percent, the highest level in nearly a decade.

Businesses, families, investors, etc. are all looking to December 31, 2012.  For the Poor, their attack is already underway.  Unemployment and those exiting the employment market due to an inability to find opportunities are increasing at record high levels.  More Americans are on food stamps and welfare than at any time in four decades.  More skilled labor opportunities exist than non-skill and that speaks to the education crisis in Urban America.  The impact on federal, state and local governments is stark.  Michael Tanner, Cato Institute Health and Welfare Studies Director and Author of The Poverty of Welfare: Helping Others in Civil Society”, writes, “Federal, state and local governments now spend $20, 610 a year for every poor person in the United States or $61,830 for each poor family of three.”  Since President Obama began his Administration, the Nation’s governments have spent $1 trillion on anti-poverty programs which s $315 Billion more tan the Nation spends on National Defense.

[DC Mayor Vincent] Gray is willing to rewrite tech incentives that would save LivingSocial up to $32.5 million in taxes over a five-year period beginning in 2015. By then the company, which has yet to turn a profit, expects to be operating in the black and to have hired an additional 1,000 people in the city. To maximize its savings, at least half of the new hires would be required to live in the District or move to the city within six months of being hired.

Businesses and wealthy persons have an advantage that the poor do not.  Mobility!  If they do not like the way the tax game is being played then, they can pick up their wealthy game pieces and leave.  The Poor have no place to go.  They will bear the brunt of the forces of tax policy gone wild in Democratland.  They have no lobbying group to dine with city leaders to work out a favorable tax deal.  Many say that under Republicans, the Rich get Richer.  It appears that, under Democrats, the Poor get Poorer.  Blame Bush!

One of America’s Most Racist, Propaganda Pieces of the Liberal Democrat Agenda is at odds with one of the most socialist, local governments in the Nation–the District of Columbia Government.  The Washington Informer is protesting the DC Government over the awarding of the more than $30,000 unclaimed property advertising contract to the Washington Times in lieu of the much more attractive Washington Informer.  Which is the more awing: That the Obama economy is so piss-poor that the media powerhouse, the Washington Informer, is left in a bitter scramble for $30,000 of revenue from a government entity or that the Washington Informer reports very little about the economy to its circulation and finds it easier to Blame Bush or the Republicans when it does so?  So why was the Times chosen over the Informer.  According to the largest District based African-American newspaper, its rejection was solely on the grounds that it is not a “newspaper of general circulation”.  But wait, we are not a Asian establishment.  We are Black.  The Mayor is Black.  The City Is Black.  Doesn’t America owe the Informer?  Why even Nick McCoy, a political and gay rights activist says that the Informer speaks for the “whole community”.  How did the socialist government respond to the paper of the least, the last and the lost:

“The Washington Informer was found non-responsive based on the fact that the Washington Informer serves a specific ethnic group.  It is our view that targeting a specific ethnic group does not meet the requirement of a newspaper of general circulation.”

The Informer contends that such a ruling may have violated District and federal civil rights laws.  They are willing to fight it out in court where costs may treble the actual costs of contract.  Why did the Times get the contract?  According to the Informer’s attorney, it’s all racial.

“None can argue that anecdotally the likely subscribers to the Washington Times are conservative and Republican – the anecdotal opposite of the population of the District of Columbia, which is overwhelmingly Democratic and progressive,” he said.

“If The Washington Informer can be disqualified because it appeals to a specific ethnic group, a similar disqualification can be leveled against the Washington Times, which some might subjectively argue appeals only to a certain ideological group.

So until a Judge rules, the Informer must fill space with more progressive, Democrat propaganda that does not bring in revenue and the Times is the new black and operating in the black.  Yes, Conservative Republicans, the pendulum is really beginning to swing your way!

It is with trepidation that I proceed in this commentary.  I fear not of my own condition, expectation or state of being.  However, I do fear that many that had placed their faith in nothing less thanaffirmative action and its righteousness will soon find it a device of little comfort.  Booker T. Washington, in his 1895 Atlanta Exposition Address, cautioned, “The wisest among my race understand that the agitation of questions of social equality is the extremist folly, and that progress in the enjoyment of all the privileges that will come to us must be the result of severe and constant struggle rather than artificial forcing.”  Abounding in many promises and languishing in few satisfying results outside of government, affirmative action often has more fictional victims than actual and thus, creates an atmosphere of accepted mediocrity rather than the pursuit of meritocratic excellence.  Many races, deemed minority, have fallen into the tangled web of artificial devices that nobly extend the hope of evening the score for past atrocities.  All done as if an additional 10 points on the civil service exam or executing a poli-economic plan that distributes another’s wealth to one that lacks capital, means of production or access to the labor market would salve or even the score for 400 years of brutish treatment to the many institutionalized in slavery.

Our forefathers advised us not to advance into a fertile future with as much as a bond of insufferable allegiance or chained to the security of folly and fable.  Frederick Douglas, in a speech entitled “What The Black Man Wants” (April 1865) exclaimed, “Everybody has asked the question, and they learned to ask it early of the abolitionists, ‘What shall we do with the Negro?’ I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are wormeaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature’s plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall.”  Our Founding Fathers encouraged us to use the principles of conservatism, as best understood of the times, and our Faith in God to challenge the human race’s cultural deficiencies and excel in every pursuit by our limitless spiritual and natural endowment.  Not to soar as eagles meant that we vacillated, becoming the product of the slavery system that we exited only through blood, sweat and tears.  Albeit, the generous successes of Affirmative Action have placed Blacks in the cross hairs of any severe austerity plan, by choice or by force, implemented by Congress in 2013.

“Thanks for the history lesson, Paley!  However, what does affirmative action have to do with the Obama economy.  You right wing extremists so hate Obama and it’s all racial!”  Give me a few mere lines more and my broad strokes will appear as clarion as a mezzo-soprano at the Kennedy Center.  For the fourth consecutive year, the Obama Administration and Congress have presided over a government that has produced $1 trillion plus deficits.  According to Eric Pianin, The Fiscal Times, “For fiscal year 2012  that will end on  Sept. 30, the deficit is now projected to be $1.211 trillion, or $116 billion lower than the $1.327 trillion deficit projected in February, according to the Office of Management and Budget’s Fiscal Year 2013 Midsession Budget Review. That compares with deficits ranging from a high of $1.4 trillion in fiscal 2009, to $1.29 trillion in both fiscal 2010 and 2011.”  With Europe in a recession, China’s buying power weakening as its currency losses value and very few signs of resuscitation of the American economy, there will be more calls upon the United States to consider austerity plans.  In economics, austerity refers to a policy of deficit-cutting by lowering spending often via a reduction in the amount of benefits and public services provided.  Without an austerity plan, the United States, fast approaching a fiscal cliff, will suffer severe effects from these princely budget deficits.  The costs of borrowing money to pay the federal bills will increase and take up a more sizable portion of the budget.  Hence, pay your interest debt and cut where needed.  To raise the monies to pay the bills, either tax revenue must increase or more bonds must be sold or both.  Increase taxes during a jobless recovery and you could capsize the private economy and unemployment would explode.  Sell more treasury bonds and the national debt increases.  Obama “inherited” a national debt of $9 trillion from Bush.  He will inherit a $16 trillion national debt from himself.  For the chic Keynesian, government must take credit for any recovery so stimulus must be afforded.  Artificially suppressing interest rates costs money.  The Treasury must print it and the Federal Reserve must buy it.  Eventually, Keynesian learn from the Hayek models that interest rates are like balloons.  They can not be held down naturally for long.  When rates rise, your buying power lessens and inflation takes off.  In a nutshell, without an austerity in the next Congress, we are screwed as a Nation.

So what does affirmative action have to do with all that economic gobbledygook?  President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 10925 on March 6, 1961.  In so doing, required that government employers “not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed, color, or national origin” and “take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin”.  On September 2, 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signed Executive Order 11246  affirming Federal Government’s commitment “to promote the full realization of equal employment opportunity through a positive, continuing program in each executive department and agency”.  From that time onward, African-Americans began to encourage their kinfolk to “go to school and get a good government job”.  You did not want to curse your kids and leave them out in that evil private industry world.  The Federal government’s multicultural campaign for diversity resulted in a 17% Black of the Federal Civilian population.  As of 2010, the overall US Black population was 12%.  Brendan Greeley, in “The Deficit: A Stark Choice for 2012? Not Really”, writes, “Obama claims to care about the deficit. In his budget this year, he takes credit for offering a comprehensive spending-reduction deal to congressional Republicans in 2011. And yet according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the White House’s proposed 2013 budget increases debt as a proportion of gross domestic product until 2018, when it flattens out at around 76 percent.”  An austerity plan will be executed in the next Congress.  No doubt!  No diggity!  When it does, it will disproportionately impact the Black workforce.  This impact will not be noticed greatly in rural regions.  However, it will impact urban and suburban governments and cities.  Thanks to  4 years of “danger zone” budgeting by continuing resolution, the next recession will more disproportionately impact Blacks than any other group because of our lower rates of participation in private industry and small business development.

Walter E. Williams, author of “The Racism of Diversity” (Townhall.com, July 22, 2009),  wrote, “This is one of the unappreciated aspects of preferential treatment. It runs the risk of creating racist attitudes, and possibly feelings of racial superiority, among whites and others who were formerly racially neutral.”  In the scale of economics, there is a Black female publisher in Washington, DC that believes she is entitled by race to receive the fruit of the taxpayers’ revenue.  She has been exposed to the noble intentions of affirmative action.  It was supposed to serve as reparations and make all things right amongst those that suffered or were victimized.  Today, she is a victim.  The White Republicans–there could not possibly be any Black, Latino, Asian, etc Republicans or Conservatives that read the Times–have stolen her 40 aces and a mule and she wants it back.  Maybe if she encouraged her general readership to spend less time seeking the entitlements of public benefits and more time seeking to invest in private opportunities then, her general readership would grow to a size worthy of government intervention.  Whether Republican or Democrat, it would be good to advise the limited readership that they need to batten down the hatches thanks to the President’s handling of the economy.  There is rough weather ahead and Blacks will suffer the greatest losses.

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!!” – Samuel Adams

Brevity shall be my father as I protest America’s sudden re-entry into slavery.  There shall be no great literary score to hide my disdain for the actions of many that have voiced a greater need for dependency, vowed to exchange political rights for economic promises and voted to curry favor with those that marshal forces to oppress an exceptional nation.  My voice shall be loud and abrasive to those that have silently compromised principles with a broth of noble intentions and well meant policies.  This day finds me in great kinship with the fervency of statesman Samuel Adams.  I fear not the wrath of the wicked nor the pretense of those that wade lightly into the brisk currents of political correctness.  Since the close of the Civil War, the Progressive Movement has asked, “What Shall We Do With the Free Man?”  The Movement has evolved into such great strength that today Americans have given it a resounding response, “Make Us Slaves of the Government!”

Socialism is a new form of slavery.

– Alexis-Charles-Henri Clérel de Tocqueville

By 11:00 AM on June 28, 2012, conservative groups and politicians were e-mailing laments over the United States Supreme Court’s (SCOTUS) ruling on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA).  SCOTUS upheld Obama Care as constitutional based on Congress’ taxing authority.  It was a ruling that brought the most ornery Conservative to his knees as if laboring for air from a swift kick to the sternum.  Republicans celebrated this as an assurance of President Barack Obama’s electoral liability and that Chief Justice John Glover Roberts, Jr. was exceedingly clever in hanging the tax anchor about the campaigns of multiple liberals.  How empty this refrain became when played by Mitt Romney’s Campaign.  One moment, Romney sounded as a sincere champion of the Tenth Amendment by stating that he would work for the repeal of Obama Care from Day One.  Within a matter of a weekend, the Romney Campaign finds itself agreeing with the Obama Administration that SCOTUS was wrong, Obama Care is not a TAX!  If you were looking to give leery conservatives confidence in your commitment to Classical Republican principles then, Romney, you lack the wherewithal to provide it.  Other politicians jumped into the ocean of political opportunity to harvest the discontent of the masses.  Their general intent was to provoke Tea Partiers around the world to raise funds for their campaigns.  O, if you don’t send me $10 then, there will be no hope of changing our future.   I fault them not for they are merely doing what their industry requires: take advantage of the sheep!  When the fold surrenders its pursuit of life and liberty for Esau’s supper then, the wolves have no more natural order then to pillage the weak.

     I have come to the conclusion that Americans have lost the battle over whether health care is a right or a privilege.  I believe that the Progressives have achieved their great accomplishment: Equality.   Our Founding Fathers introduced Liberty through the US Constitution’s protection of life, libety and the pursuit of happiness.  Feeling the US Constitution was inadequate, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 80 years ago, ushered in the second generation of human rights called economic rights: social security, education, housing, etc.  Progressives, as both Democrats and Republicans, assaulted the Constitution in every branch of government and even the watchdog press.  Their last undone achievement was universal health care.   Obama achieved that in his presidency.   It is a precedent.  Why do you call it a precedent?  It is something done or said that may serve as an example or rule to authorize or justify a subsequent act of the same or an analogous kind.  Precedents are essential to rooting stability in law and society.  I used the same dictionary that George Stephanopoulos used when he interviewed President Obama.   Even if repealed, the SCOTUS has determined that socialism is a protected way of life if you call it a tax.  Even if Obama Care is repealed, the Progressives have won the battle and will advance their war towards one-world order and global rule.  They will proceed, maybe in the next 10 years when they return to power, on the ambition of the third generation of human rights: Fraternity.  They will include: Group and collective rights; Right to self-determination; Right to economic and social development; Right to a healthy environment; Right to natural resources; Right to communicate and communication rights; Right to participation in cultural heritage; and Rights to intergenerational equity and sustainability. From Liberty to Equality and onward to Fraternity yet, many voters are profane ignorance of the true terrorists of freedom.  If we know not our enemy, it makes no grand difference in the selection of our representation.  The ambassador of chaos is an unruly confidant.

Why so surly this wonderful 4th day of July 2012?  The Progressives have won this battle and will win the oligarchy war.  Many of my conservative friends will accuse me of being overly dramatic, a man wading beyond the confines of conservatism or a loosened cannon that refuses to align himself with established leaders of the variant political parties. There is some truth to such princely allegations.  I appreciate the many that are rallying to aid the Romney Campaign in a mission to have him save the Republic.  However, it will take more than Repealing Obama Care.  Based on SCOTUS’ decision, for the first time in America, your wealth belongs to the government first and foremost.  We are now slaves to Congress’ Taxing Authority, The President’s Ideological Pursuits and SCOTUS’ ability to rewrite legislation to fit within the scope of Progressiveness.  To get this right, we must repeal the economic rights established since FDR and finalized under Obama.  Which Politician Has the Chops to say this to an American people corrupted by entitlements?

     Elmer T. Peterson in The Daily Oklahoman (9 December 1951) wrote: “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government.  It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury.  After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.”

 

We saw the will of the political elite executed in plain sight one week before the Celebration of Our Independence.  We saw the Progressives–Obama and Romney–agree that the establishment of Government Superiority is essential to the future of the Republic.  What say you then, is the future of the Republic when lawlessness and enslavement reigns supreme?  Alexis-Charles-Henri Clérel de Tocqueville said, “The most dangerous moment for a bad government is when it begins to reform.”  When corrupted software is placed on a perfect operating system then, the only expectation is that the operating system will eventually fail.  Whom blames the software because it was perfect in its intent to increase the performance of the machine?  The blame is always placed on the operating system.  The absolute truth is that a corruptible device when added to an existing  framework will always ruin the framework.  Our federal bureaucracy, for the well being of the people, has legally installed socialized medicine onto the framework of free-market capitalism and Constitutional freedom and liberty.  This is certainly not the Republic given to men created in the image of God and possessing inalienable rights.

     We are merely a few treasured moments away from experiencing the prophecy of President Ronald Wilson Reagan, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”  Unless, Conservatives unite and demand the Repeal of FDR, the 16th Amendment and the 17th Amendment.  Yes, on this the very day that we celebrate teh revolutionary zeal of our Founding Fathers, we must bring to rememberance one of the most key notes in the Declaration of Independence:

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Today, we are the USSA.  Tomorrow, we may be just another third world nation under the rule of elite leaders in the UN.  On this and in my House, we resolve to resist the Philistines of the Progressive Movement and Restore the Glory and Honor of Our Liberties in the US Constitution.  What Shall We Do With the Free Man?  We Shall Do Nothing for He Shall join Us in Liberating the enslaved from the confines of socialism!  Let Liberty be our Cry and Tyranny, our fallen traducer!

     The Black Church has always been the communications bandwidth of the Community.  It was the unbridled passion of the Black Church that resisted the confines of slavery and Jim Crow Democrat Laws and pushed for Civil Rights through allegiance with the Republican Party.  It was easy to draw upon its heritage as it was founded by radicals like Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.  However, time and misery seems to oppress the greatest testaments of time.  Hope over time gave way to despair and Change seemed to fall upon the deaf ears of Heaven.  Pulpits that once proclaim the Victory of Christ became filled with proselytizers that promoted liberation based on the color of skin and raised the idealism that God would send ONE that would free us from the disdain of our with-holders.  Sermons framed in Patriotism, Liberty and Free Markets were replaced professions of Victimhood, Racial Indifference and Class Envy.

     By the 1970′s, Conservatives were vilified in the Black Church for the presentation of messages on Family Values.  The Republican Party became the enemy and the Democrat Party, the founders of the Ku Klux Klan, for the sake of welfare, entitlements and the redistribution of others wealth, became the friend.  However, the friend was merely a wolf in sheep’s clothing.  For the sake of a food stamp, a wink and a nod, the Democrat Party seized the liberal Black Church and strangled the Conservative Black Church.  Thanks LBJ for the 501 (c) 3.  Eventually, it was assumed that membership in the Black Church served as auxiliary membership in the Democrat Party.

They went from gay rights to Civil Rights; from gay marriage to marriage equality.  Anyone that knows anything about PR, knows that marketing is all about language and communications.  Politics is the ultimate form of marketing.

~~Raynard Jackson, “Republicans Should Be Gay”, May 11, 2012

Pastor, you soon would only open your pulpit to Democrats.  The doctrine of Christ could then, only be heard through the voices of Democrats.  The Black Church was no longer about the “Father’s business” but about the “government funding business”.  The Message suffered.  The Community Suffered.  Men Left the Church as Their Goldy responsibilities  were Replaced by the “forces and provisions of government”.  Soon, limited to the participation of women, the Church became a place that depended on the assurances of government security, of privileges as rights and entitlements as life needs.  Morality and character became less of a concern of what is sacred and more of what is culturally convenient.  For many that remained, the understanding of Faith and politics became simple in discernment:  That which is expedient and affirmed of men is most practical and worthy of God’s Blessing.  However, there is something that causes the spirit that pursues the Spirit to become “rocked” in his soul.  The spirit that has consumed the Word of God understands the limits of mankind and the eternity of the Living God.  Even the heathen understands that there is One whom is Greater and must be confided.  This is always why it is most unsettling when Judgement first comes to the House.  That silence you heard in the Barber Shop is the moaning and groaning of the world awaiting you to become the Son of God.

 

“The president’s in favor of it — I’m sure it will be [included].”

Excuse Me Pastor, Before You Deliver Your Mother’s Day Sermon…

1Cr 13:13

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.

     There are some things that you do not know that you need to know before you speak from your pulpit on Sunday.  Your unrelenting support of Obama has equivocation to that of Jesus Christ in the eyes of even your most devout parishioners.  Such an equivocation was given to Barack Hussein Obama when you advised your sheep to vote for him.  That may or may not be your fault.  However, it is what it is.  You see at your pulpit, they first heard the Good News of Jesus Christ.  At your pulpit, they accepted His Words as Truth and you as the Messenger of Truth.  The Message and The Messenger was seared in their hearts as One.  At you pulpit, they were baptized and professed the Holy Spirit.  At your pulpit, they heard the moral doctrines of Faith.  At your pulpit, they watched the broken become healed and life renewed in your words and hymns.  The power God loans to you in the pulpit is held in reverance and awe.  Do you understand how important you have been to a liberal movemnet that sought only your power but none of its Godliness?

In a 1939 letter, [Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret] Sanger wrote, “The minister’s work is also important and he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”

Many, to this day, have more Faith and Trust in you than the Bible that they carry on Sunday morning.  It is sad but true.  Yet, the silence you heard Wednesday afternoon, God made certain that they heard too.  They are shocked.  They are in disbelief.  They are hurt.  They blame you.  I know you did not want to hear that part but it is truth.  On Sunday, before you blame men for leaving their responsibilities and putting women in harm’s way, you need to privately and publicly repent.  Such repentance should be before your fullest assembly.  You ask, “Repent from what?”  It is the omitted power of equivocation.  Your congregants believe now that you, the Man of God, would not have endorsed a man for public office that believes that marriage is not sacred but irreligious or ungodly.  That marriage is subject to human fallacy and interpretation and not origin-ed from the very Words of God.  Hence, some believe that there is no doctrinal requirement to promote the sacredness of marriage because there is a separation of Faith and State.  Hence, Sunday Only Christianity is acceptable in the sight of God.  Yeah, they got all of that and more in a simple statement from the President of the United States.  What is more?  You may need to prepare them for the unforgivable:  the Democrat Party will add Same-Sex Marriage to their Political Platform.  Whom will you serve?

     I write this knowing that many ministers did not go before the Father to ask for His permission to endorse President Obama.  I know this because you have probably done more vetting of an associate minister that will preach in your pulpit than the Press did of our own President.  You probably have spent more time designing your new sanctuary.  For some, I know that you accepted him because he had a “D” behind his name.  For some, it was because of the color of his skin.  There is too much at stake in America to keep this charade going.  Too many will suffer lack as a result of prideful commitment to false and manipulated allegiances.  By the way, Obama did not seek Spritual counsel before he announced what “Mankind” had told him to do.  Yeah, he called his Pastor after he made his decsision to “go forth”.  I guess you have never done that before.  In an unscientific poll taken on my face book website, the majority of persons responded, “Yes, it is wise for Men of God to admit error and to lead his flock in doctrine.”  The risk?  Already, in barber shops across the country, many are advising that they will not vote in this election.  They have the power but will not leave home to express it.  Imagine when they employ this silence in your temple on Sunday morning.  Voting with one’s morality (feet) can put quite a damper in doing the “Father’s business”.

FROM THE DESK OF THE EXCEPTIONAL CONSERVATIVE

     It is written that Sun-Tzu once said, “Warfare is a great matter to a nation; it is the ground of death and of life it is the way of survival and destruction, and must be examined.”  Coming after the celebration of the High Holy Days of Spring–Passover and Resurrection, a private examination of liberal public warfare in America seems an essential matter, especially in the District of Columbia.  Why the Nation’s Capital?  Well, two names illuminated the pathways of survival and destruction in the Metro Voting Scene prior to the High Holy Days–Council Member and Mayor for Life Marion “Dmitri Shepilov” Barry and Attorney General Eric “I’ll Be Back Faster than You Can Say Furious”  Holder.  In the life and death battle of maintaining the most oppressive and poverty resistant tactics in Urban Polity, Barry represents the survivor and Holder the destroyer.  Each is vital to the installation of public policies and laws that defile the political liberties of Constitutional governance in lieu of those that solidify the Utopian financial security of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Economic Bill of Rights.  These are men esteemed by their peers for their judicial and political sophistry.  In variant circles, they are lauded for their past accomplishments.  They are different men sharing the same political ideology.  They are men of the “Democrat Civil Rights Generation”  [1966 - 2008].  Each found a home for their radical beliefs within President Andrew Jackson’s Party.  Each believes that their racial justice and racial politics will reward “the least, the last and the lost” while incriminating those that, by acts of conscience or acts of their descendants, have oppressed such a great multitude.  One operates at the federal level.  The other at the state level.  Yet, their paths mysteriously crossed at the corner of Racism and Voter Fraud in the Nation’s Capitol on Primary Election Day 2012.

The Great DC Voter Fraud Caper

     Attorney General Holder had made his determination plain many months ago about Voter Identification.  For those following along at home, his answer to Texas, South Carolina and especially, Arizona was consistent: NO!  By golly, there must be a succinct and logical reasoning for such hardened resistance.  Maybe it was the fact that most government programs do not require proof of identification. Wow!  Maybe these agencies do not know that I do not need ID to cash a payroll check or to obtain food stamps or to even get anabortion.  Wait a minute!  You do need ID for all of those.  So it can not be that. Maybe it’s because ID costs too much.  Yeah, State ID is too damn high!  Well, the states had worked out a plan to give free voting ID to eligible citizens.  Wow, Republican States giving away Free Voter’s ID!  Maybe minorities will respond as Haitians did when they were offered free ID.  No this is a definite ploy to suppress the minority vote.  Fortunately, in Georgia, where Voting ID has been required since 2006, minority voting participation increased from 513,700 to 741,000 in 2010.  Well, what could it be?  Racism.  In the words of the Great Negro South Carolina Representative in the US House Jim Clyburn, “Jim Crow!”  Yes, free voting ID is the equivalent of the poll tax, literacy tests and burning a cross in someone’s front yard.  Free Voting ID is a weapon of intimidation equivalent to New Black Panther Soldiers standing outside of a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania voting precinct with a billy club.  According to Holder, in person voting fraud is rare.  So our Republic should not require ID.

“You don’t need it; it’s all right,” the poll worker says. “As long as you’re in here, you’re on our list, and that’s who you say you are, you’re okay.”

Enter James O’Keefe.  It seems that when this David enters the Coliseum of Nonsense, many Giants fall.  ACORN.  PLANNED PARENTHOOD.  The next challenger: ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER.  Literally, James brought down the house by having an individual go undercover to show that in the Nation’s capital, Voter Fraud occurs.  The individual asked a DC Poll Worker if he could vote as “Eric Holder” without ID.  The Poll Worker consented.  This did not happen once but on several occasions at various precincts. He even interviewed a Security Officer at the Department of Justice that advised him to ascertain ID prior to entering the building.  In fact, without ID, he could not.  What is the liberal media’s reaction.  Of course, this means nothing.  Susan Milligan wants you to pay attention to the 619,000 disenfranchised voters in the District of Columbia.  Yeah, we are kept here by force, as the Japenese Americans were kept in detention camps during World War II.  We are unaware that DC was carved out as a federal city where its citizens would have no voting privileges in the House or Senate unless duly granted.  US Constitution Article 1 and Section 8 for my worthy challengers.  Kevin Drum would like you to believe that voting is an air tight effort without any threat because “no one in their right mind would cast an illegal vote.”  Sanity is certainly not a requirement to perform an illicit activity.  However, this Administration is counting on you avoiding the pages regarding ACORN and voting coincidences surrounding the election of Minnesota Senator Al Franken.  I suppose all of Minnesota was coo-koo for cocoa puffs when it came to SNL Al.

This Board of Elections will grant zero tolerance to anyone tampering with the vital processes and standards by which District of Columbia voters exercise their franchise, including identifying themselves as a registered voter, affirming their qualifications to vote, and receiving and casting a ballot. The falsification or attempted falsification of any of the above is a criminal offense.”

Whoah, Nelly!  Don’t get your dander up, Board Member Stephen Danzansky.  You are acting like voting fraud happens all of the time.  I surmise that it does not because of teh stealth and vigilant actions of the DC Board of Elections and Ethics.  Your zero-tolerance  response is certainly not a political one.  Yes, avoid talking to Attorney general Eric Holder or the naive poll worker.  They know that DC BOEE will not cease its investigations until James O’Keefe is arrested, does a perp walk and is declared guilty by the Court of Public Opinion.  You certainly did not want voting identification or perpetrators of voter fraud to slow down the hundreds of thousands that voted in the Democrat laden election in April 2012.  What’s that?  Only 68,000 people came out to vote.  The poll workers must certainly be overloaded with names and ID’s.  No.  Then, it must have been racial discrimination that a white man was offered to sign “the book” without ID.

It’s unclear if the poll worker followed procedure, although it comports to my personal experiences voting in the District. I’ve often showed up at a polling place with my ID out, to help poll workers with the spelling of my name, only to be told that it wasn’t necessary.

Yeah!  Definitely a white thing.  This could not possibly happen in the minority communities of the Nation’s Capitol.

     It seems that the High Holiday Election gave cause for pause at the corner of Voter Fraud and Racism.  Marion Barry, fresh from a political briefing on racial harmony with “Bull” Connor, let go the basic requirement to be registered as a Democrat: You must despise another race of people overtly and covertly.  Should you despise them because they support an Unconstitutional health care reform like Obama Care?  No.  Should you despise them because they are great entrepreneurs and uniquely outperform all races academically?  No.  You should despise them because they are Asian!

“We’ve got to do something about these Asians coming in, opening up businesses, those dirty shops,” he said in the course of laying out his vision for the ward. “They ought to go. I’ll just say that right now, you know. But we need African American businesspeople to be able to take their places, too.”

Even the best politicians screw up a point.  Especially when you have won a third successive term in office with a whopping 72% of the vote in his Ward 8.  You are overwhelmed with emotion.  Suddenly, your heart speaks for what your mind persistently withheld in good company.  (In all reality, unofficially, he received 5,116 votes out of 7,036 votes cast.  Ward 8 has 54,000 voters!)  Yes, my friends, Barry’s Economic Platform is simple: Replace ‘em.  We have not heard such an Economic Plan since the building of the Trans-Continental Railroad.  I suppose when offering summer jobs to unemployed men and women with children is deemed ineffectual then, you just have to go with Plan B.  Remember, it was the Asians that caused you to live on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Electronics Benefit Transfer (EBT) Funds.  Could not have been that Mr. Barry voted for the Living Wage legislation that requires employers to pay $10 per hour to unskilled workers.  Guess DC Businesses need fewer unskilled workers.  What do you have to say to your racist brothers and sisters that voted you into office tonight:

beekay@BeeBlanco_

Marion Barry’s trending… That’s the illest nigga.

Certainly, as a non-bigotted, non-homophobic renaisance man of the Afro-American community, you would publicly apologize the next morning.  Right?  No.

Barry ends up calling Cho a “good Asian” — you know, as opposed to all those bad ones — and telling him that he only regretted failing to use a “better set of words.”

Ladies and gentlemen, I am not concerned about Marion Barry.  He is long beyond the Road to Recovery.  I am concerned because the audience that he spoke with at his celebration APPLAUDED him.  The same persons that will spend $25 for a “Remember Trayvon” T-Shirt and March to the Wilson Building to protest Racism in America’s justice system give a standing O to Barry after his racists comments.

The Barry-Holder Syndrome gives cover to those that have been empowered by years of racist vitriol, inaccurate cultural perceptions of conservatism, a gold spoon of entitlement and sense that only an elite group of individuals can govern, educate, employ and lead.  Yes, what you hear from Barry and Holder are years of liberation theology, public school indoctrination and a social preference to “Miseducate the Negro”.  At the intersection o voter fraud and racism, the Black community is always the “victim”.  How shall the talented few encourage the masses to achieve economic power: steal it.  Whether through the redistribution of wealth or a Socio-Economic Plan that calls for the elimination of the Asian business owner, the prophets of oppression, having amassed their personal fortunes and securities, have only the desire to promote bigotry, chaos and theft.  Urban America must review its unadulterated faith in the religion of separatist party politics and “government solution oriented” poverty policy.  Barry represents the “Survival” that years of charisma and patronage have yielded a Carte Blanche seat at the Table of the DC Government’s Politburo.  No one at the polls can point to any specificity that warrants a return to office.  No one can isolate the golden nugget in his latter service that equals the worthy hallmarks of his former service.  However, too many have been “bought off” to consider challenging or even replacing one of America’s Great Soldiers of Socialism.  Too many have become affixed upon their building project, government contract or special friends license plate to seek a prudent and more profitable remedy.  There seems an almost mystical acceptance of his place in spite of his inability to lead a small community out of the grips of neglect and economic decay.  You are certainly to hear more about Barry’s private failures than his public legislative successes on the City Council.  Holder represents the “Destruction” that comes when Men of Justice must stand before the Courts of Public and Political opinions to receive their just due.  Holder, President Ronald Reagan’s appointee to Judgeship on the DC Superior Court, has been around the block a few times as a hired handof the law.  I believe to say his recent tenure as Attorney General has been cataclysmic is to say that Mr. Hillary Rosen merely misspoke.  Their universal efforts have resulted in bias of justice and despair within the human condition.  Barry and Holder have been true ministers of the religion of Party and Poverty to a fallen generation.

FROM THE DESK OF THE EXCEPTIONAL CONSERVATIVE

     I asked a question.  I did not yell “Fire!” in a crowded movie theater.   I did not propose adding more speed cameras in low income areas of Washington, DC or demand that Obama Care be implemented even if the Supreme Court rules it un-Constitutional.  I merely asked a question.  Yet, the response was awe-striking.  It was as if I’d unlatched the box upon which all evil was held.  Indeed, it is a thought provoking one.  However, I believe more people are afraid of the answers than the question itself.  These answers lead me to one stark conclusion: Stop Blaming the Republican Establishment for the Futility of the American Conservative Movement.

The Establishment GOP Asserted Itself in 2008. We Got John McCain. The Establishment GOP Asserted Itself in 2012. We Got Mitt Romney. If Conservatives Are So Powerful and Represent 40% of the Electorate, Why Is There No Competitive Conservative Party in American Politics?

     Political Commentator and Mitt Romney Endorser Ann Coulter defines the “actual Republican Establishment” as “political consultants, The Wall Street Journal, corporate America, former Bush advisers and television pundits.”  New York Times columnist David Brooks had a new, and specific, definition of “Republican establishment” — “anybody who knows what Newt Gingrich is really like.”  Rush Limbaugh refers to the Republican establishment as the “elites” that want to redefine conservatism.  Rush contends:

You and I know that the establishment Republicans don’t like conservatives. They didn’t like Reagan. They were embarrassed of Reagan. They were embarrassed of us. They didn’t like the Moral Majority, they didn’t like the Christian right, they don’t like the pro-lifers. They don’t like the social conservatives at all. They’re embarrassed by us, in many ways, with their other buddies, the establishment Democrats — which combined gives us the Washington establishment, and they very much prefer to be members of that club than ours. But they know that it doesn’t help them to be called “establishment Republicans.” So they’re trying to take the term “conservative” and co-opt it and define it as they behave, write, speak, and even vote on matters of politics.

Do Speaker of the House John Boehner, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and GOP Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney fit within the fabric of the “Establishment” or Washington Politboro that seeks its own sufficiency?  Based on the definers, the answer is clearly, ”YES!”

Simply, those that preserve their interests of excessive government rule and intervention into the daily lives of Americans fit the bill of the “Establishment”.  Those that resist the excesses of governance and imposition of state and federal taxation into the lives of individuals, families and private organizations are “conservatives”.  Talitha McEachin, in her essay The Black Community’s Distrust of the Government, provokes her readers with this question, ‎”How can some of us say we don’t trust the government, yet vote for more of it in our lives?”  Blogger Dan McLaughlinwrote a seminal piece about the separation of Establishment and Conservatives entitled, What The Republican “Establishment” Really Means.  In it he advised that a key matter separtes us:  ”it’s almost entirely about spending.”  For those following along at home, the analysis is clear.  There are three groups that empower politicians in general elections: Conservatives, the Establishment (Republicans and Democrats) and Liberals.  Conservatives believe that Americans are better stewards of their finances than government and that spending should be reduced as austerely as possible.  The Establishment believe that you could not possibly build a home, receive medical care or  flush a toilet with out some form of government intervention.  The Establishment may not want all of your money but a goodly sum of 50 – 60% would go a long way towards a civil society.  The liberals do not believe that you have to vote as a central planning agency will give you what you need and cover all of the costs.  The State becomes the provider and protector of the individual and family.  A simple 100% of your wealth and commitment would improve the quality of everyone’s life.

I guess we can never change the outcomes of our political lives.  Surly the liberals and the Establishment outnumber us.  Right?!  Wrong!  According to a 2007 Associate Press (AP) Poll,  36 to 42% (Average: 38%) of the Nation is Conservative and 19 to 26% (Average:  22%) of the Nation is Liberal.  Let us deduce that 30% of the Nation is a part of the Establishment or shares a Pro-Government bent towards public policy.  These are individuals that believe we can make it with out government but won’t ask government to stop providing security for their erroneous unbelief.  Amazingly, Pew Research Center  asserts that 62% of Pro-Government Conservatives are women.  Hmmmmm!  I wonder why the War on Women?   Here, in a nutshell, is the oxymoron: Pro-Government Conservative.  Listen, we, in individual battle, outnumber liberals and The Establishment on everyday of the year.  Even collectively, we could pull enough from the Establishment group out of shame or fear to garner a majority.   So hear is the ultimate question, “If Conservatives Are So Powerful and Represent 40% of the Electorate, Why Is There No Competitive Conservative Party in American Politics?”

The Establishment GOP asserted itself in 1996 and we got Bob Dole.  In 2000, People had had enough of Bill Clinton and The Establishment GOP gave us George Bush.  The Establishment GOP Asserted Itself in 2008.  We Got John McCain.  The Establishment GOP Asserted Itself in 2012.  We Got Mitt Romney.  Let me be clear!  In these unprecedented times, any vote for a GOPer is certainly better than one for the Urban Leninist Barack Obama.  However, there must be a time in GOP History when the Message of Conservatism was equally matched by a Conservative Messenger.  There had to be a day when ideology was etched from the fires of the US Constitution and the King James Bible.  Indeed, the crossroad was filled by Ronald Wilson Reagan.  The Message and the Messenger were One.  Is this a “We just gotta have someone that is Reaganesque!” essay.  NO!  However, perfect unity of effort and efficiency in action comes when one is not deciding on whether to be a liberal, moderate or conservative depending on what state he s in or what group he is talking up.  So why do conservatives entrust their power to an organization that has a worst won-loss percentage than the early Tampa Bay Buccaneers?  I believe that my question reveals the most prudent answers.

     DAVID BROOKS may be right!  I want to eliminate any pretense that from here on we will be singing the Sesame Street theme song.  I am as faithful to conservatism as any.  However, we must examine why so many have choose to follow the Establishment GOP rather than BUILD a conservative brand.  I know, I know!  Third parties will only produce liberal candidates.  No.  People produce liberal candidates as their only options.  Sure, you can point to 1992 when George H W Bush, William Jefferson Clinton and Ross Perot slugged it out as a reason against.  However, the two party system gave us bot Jimmy Carter nad Obama within four (4) decades of each other.  So I ain’t buying that only a three party fight will result in a liberal victor.  The second answer is that the GOP will eventually let conservatives have a candidate.  How weak does that sound to you?  Conservative, you are the real elephant in the room and yet, you have been trained by harsh rhetoric and propaganda over the years that your social agenda and call or fiscal restraint are offensive to the electorate.  I suppose a 9% unemployment rate and $16 trillion deficit are more inviting words of wisdom.  We do not believe that because the Establishment has told us that such efforts are feeble.  You need money to make this happen.  Amazing how tons of money can be raised for a liberal GOP Governor of a Northern state but the GOP would have had a difficult time raising money for a conservative GOP Governor of a Western state.  How weak conservatives must be if they must wait another forty (40) years for a conservative candidate and you represent more than 60% of the GOP.  Here’s another brilliant response to the question:  We would just produce a Do-Nothing Congress!  Somehow, stern conservatives would ave to work with liberal and moderate coalitions to get bills passed. That would be almost impossible as there is no willingness to work together.  Yeah, that only would happen in a three party system.  Are you kidding me?  Holding someone accountable does not begin after you vote but before.  The person that desires to represent you should not be figuring out their political ideology and belief system while completing the GOP Nomination Form.  They should have core principles that allow you to discern whether a person is liberal, moderate or conservative in their political beliefs.  A Conservative Coalition, out of numerical power, would certainly have greater influence on collaborating with Moderates than Liberals coalescing with Moderates.  Saving multiple coalitions slows down poor legislation and focuses greater attenion to the voting records of each group.

Not the best question to ask, Ken. And one has to learn that a conservative from the East, Midwest, South, and West will not see ‘eye to eye’ on every issue. You also have to deal with local influences that create movements that produce different candidates for others to vote for. If you even look within the libertarian ranks, you don’t even have unity there; which causes some – who are more conservative – to run in the Republican party; and those who are more liberal – to run independent, or Democrat. And the major issue with the selection process is: having few states decide who the party’s nominee is going to be; as they all change their dates for caucuses/primaries. This needs to be reformed. That, and the ‘winner takes all’ delegates; along with unbound and ‘super’ delegates. It disenfranchises voters from participating — and when voters don’t engage the candidates, while PAC’s hand money to them, you see what you have as a result.   ~~C.A. of Illinois

Finally, the latter answer speaks to the heart of a people with great potential but little motivation.  Starting a conservative party would be too much of a hassle.  Wow!  e can thrill millions with a speech in Tampa tat says we can solve a $16 trillion deficit, overturn Obama  Care and return us to the Values of the US Constitution but, we can not dream and even dare creating an alternative party.  Have we become so lazy as conservatives that we won’t someone to gives us a Party and Power and Wealth to exploit our new Party and Power without sweat upon brow or pen pressed to paper?  Our Nation is at its greatest risks, domestic and foreign.  Our Constitution is a laughingstock to our own Supreme Court Justices.  The Establishment and the Liberals want to accelerate the onset of the socialism cancer and, because there is no ease, we choose to avoid necessary to save our Nation.  Listen, I pray that this Nation Rallies to Common Sense.  However, I pray even more that people that deign the title Conservative will come to the understanding that the Reagan that they seek is them and them alone.  In you, Mr. and Ms. Conservative, the Message and the Messenger are One.  Now your answer becomes more important to the generations that will follow you than the question I asked.

FROM THE DESK OF THE EXCEPTIONAL CONSERVATIVE

What A Day!  You could easily draw the sword of the pen from its sheath to attack or defend a multitude of topics.  I could easily press my blade against the flesh of Governor Mitt Romney’s inability to knock out his opponents thus, causing a Brokered Grand Ol’ Party (GOP)Convention in Tampa this August.  Romney beaten so badly that even the Media wept at his great loss.  The FOX All-Star Team was at a great loss to explain how Conservatives in Alabama and Mississippi were not fawning over the Beloved “Front Runner”.  Romney beaten so badly by Conservatives in the South that he came out this morning proclaiming his disdain for Planned Parenthood.  Clutch the pearls, this is better than him eating “cheesy grits”.  One could easily press the mighty lead across multiple sheets, ceasing the moment to discuss, ad nausea,  the great accomplishments of Rick Santorum and his sidekick, Newt Gingrich.  However, I will save that for the more accurate and witty striker of note of the esteemed analyst Kirsten Powell, ever captivating, attractive, in spite of the minutiae that spills from her lips or submit to the “well-researched drivel” of Stanley Fish.  Carrying on such sensations about the GOP Presidential Proceedings truly bore me. It is called a campaign!  Yes, an organized process by which combatants choose various hostile strategies to achieve a singular objective.  If these men were not gladiators then, we would be worthy of five (5) to six (6) hours of Brett Brier and Meghan Kelly.  No, my fingers delight this moment in a more captivating prose.

Perusing the latest edition of the most Far Left, racist circular remaining in the Nation’s Capitol, I took preeminent note of its Front Page Story.  Surely, its Editors had designed the headline in such an ornate manner apart from all other such stories.  As Editors do, in parlaying to the noble reader relevance and striking symbolism, the headlines served as the community’s taking point, judge and jury of the enforcement actions of a federal agency investigating the multiple campaign fraud allegations against the District of Columbia’s Mayor and City Council Members.  The Headline:

Thompson, Cobb, Bazilio Stands Strong in Wake of Raid

Co-Founder: ‘Firm’s Good Works Overlooked’

Why do I cling to this?  I shall illuminate some and bring to remembrance for others the plenteous and harmful reasons for the absence of alternative narrative in the local worldof politics.  It is the control of  the narrative that separates truth and its liberating spirit from the vices and deceits of oppressive ideologies.  Republicans, those that harbor their influences from the Heartland of America to the docks of their Capitol Hill offices, often ask, “Why can we not get Minorities to join us?”  Local Urban Conservatives, seemingly separated by Iron Curtain, seem satisfied with the prevailing winds of punditry.  Offered the wine of “most Black Republicans have moved to the Suburbs” and the bread of “Nobody in the Inner City likes the Republicans”, many return to their pew of despair acknowledging once again that, while we have communed at distance with the One that shares our passion, we shall never know the power of the liberation that comes with communion.  Each, the Republican Party and Urban Conservatives, seem to pass in the night while our inner cities falter like the Titanic.  There must be a moment when each discovers that “It’s the Narrative, Stupid!” and begin to control the message that is received from our messengers.

In this series, I will alight many to the fact that “All Corruption Is Local”.  This message is essential to establishing the foundation of power acquisition within Urban America.  To understand the absence of power sharing in Urban America, you have to study the phrase, “It speaks”.   A Walt Carr drawn cartoon, entitled “WHEN YOU’VE NEVER BEEN ON THE OTHER SIDE”, appears in the aforementioned circular.  It distinguishes two characters: O’Reilly (representing the oppressive white folk) and Black Folk (representing All of Black Folk).  O’Reilly portends, “I heard what he said and I don’t sense any racial overtones.”  Emboldened, the Black Folk responds, “You know what…You Don’t Sense It, You Don’t See It, You Don’t Feel It, You Don’t Hear It, You Don’t Smell It, You Don’t Live It and You Sure As Hell Don’t Get It!”  The stark revelations emitted from this ‘toon would energize a slug to investigate the best methodologies to tear down the Iron Curtain.  Let’s Play CSI: Conservative.

The Racist, Far Left Black Press has made itself folly to those of reason and hero to those blinded by the absurd.  The Racist, Far Left Black Press purports a symbolism of unity in both of the characters.  It is far better for those that are too lazy to investigate beyond the handiest, historical stereotypes to explore the varied insights of a community.  The Racist, Far Left Black Press never relents from the tired exposition of WHITE CONSERVATIVE is the oppressor and BLACK LIBERAL is the freedom fighter.  When comparing periods of economic expansion, educational achievement and overall quality of life during times when “oppressors” and “freedom fighters” controlled the thrones of power, BLACK FOLK seemed to excel during periods of “oppression”.  During periods when freedom fighters held power, BLACK FOLK seemed to pale in economic comparison.   The Racist, Far Left portends that such comparisons are anomalies and that “token” conservatives that make such comparisons feed the lies of the O’Reilly.  The strength of the Racist, Far Left hence, represents the weakness of the freedom fighters.  The Bunker Buster of Truth can not be distorted with reason.  The hole exists.  You can sense it.  You can see it.  You feel it.  You heard the blast.  You smell roil of sulfur and clay.  You have experienced it momentary liberation.  You have a sliver of comprehension.  Hurry, Racist, Far Left Press before the reality becomes actualized.

The man said he hates the witch-hunt quality of the allegations, adding that he hoped the media would give Thompson a fair shake. He also blamed Sulaimon Brown for the city’s political unrest.

When challenged to employ reason to the hallmarks of truth, the Racist, Far Left Black Press must explain it away with propaganda.   Hopefully after years of muffling freedom fighters realities with sensational zeal, the people shall surely not rise up against those in power.  They will verily slumber.  Even pass this off as a result of their plight as a city that has no Voting Congressional Representation.  The people will not see it all for what it is.  How can a man point out the unrighteousness of Far Left freedom fighter causing such dramatic unrest?  Does he know how much “good” has been done too such noble causes as Planned Parenthood and the NAACP?   We must remember that this pursuit of justice is not fair.  Certainly, if the mayor and city council were WHITE then, the “oppressors” would not be investigated, have theirhomes raided and their good name smeared!  Placing Blinders on the Absurd is essential to restoring those to the balance of victim-hood and powerlessness.  To the Far Left, race really is not a problem.  It is a solution.  A means of dividing, conquering and imprisoning.  The Racist, Far Left Black Press are the guardsmen of the sensational narrative that employs the strategy of elevating people, personalities and propaganda above principles, prudence and personal pursuit.

As the Informer opines that “War Is Hell”, it is essential that those of strong will guard their narrative as sternly as they guard their hearts.  Before we conquest the people, personalities and propaganda of the Racist, Far Left Black Press, we must begin to chip away at the “Iron Curtain” that separates Conservatives from liberating Urban America.  Our success is directly attributed to our ability to comprehend the culture and influence the issues of Urban America.  Speaker of the House Tip O’Neil succinctly advised, “All politics is local.”  I submit, “All corruption is local.”  Corruption is defined as:

1. Dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery.
2. The action of making someone or something morally depraved or the state of being so.
