Great job as usual. Are there any plans to get the panel back on Hannity?

In those same 50 years, self appointed Black leaders, Liberal politicians and so-called community activists have convinced the majority in our community that government is the solution to all their problems, as long as they are in control of that government. All one has to do is look at governments in place like Chicago, Detroit and Los Angeles and you will see nothing but dystopia communities often caught in the generational economic depression, mass violence and endless government dependency.

Thomas nails it in the above statement. Me thinks that he was making a direct hit on Obama when he reference community organizers and Chicago. LOL

I've been working on my own personal outreach to inner city blacks (inner city poor of all races really) in Detroit and I'm discovering some very interesting things.

What I did was found an inner city pastor who truly wants to improve all of America and break the stereotypes that his flock has of rural conservative whites. (and I'm trying to do the same among conservative whites.) Basically he's using our conversations as a basis for sermons on showing how similar we all really are and that we all seek the same thing. We speak about our very different but similar childhoods with him growing up black and poor in Detroit and me growing up poor white and rural.

The pastor says he's even inserting some Reagan conservatism and quotes into his sermons with a reasonable amount of success. He's challenging his flock to prove themselves through self reliance, family, and faith. He speaks of restoring hope to the inner city as a means of demanding better from their local elected officials and schools.

Just this morning the pastor sent me an email to tell me about an elderly member of his flock who feels that the years of social justice in the pulpit has led her away from God and left her resentful. Now with the new tone she feels that God is coming back into her life. She feels less angry and actually checks her tongue before speaking ill of conservatives. Basically she's remembering that she is herself a conservative.

Due to the racial tension we're keeping a low profile for now because the race baiters will not be very accepting of the message that's so dangerous to them. What I would love to see as a means of opening dialogue is folks like Ben Carson, Herman Cain, Mia Love, Alfonzo Rachael, Allen West and even yourself taking a message of hope to the people of Detroit and challenging them to restore their city.

I will not stand by and watch this great country destroy itself under mediocre leadership that drifts from one crisis to the next, eroding our national will and purpose. We have come together here because the American people deserve better from those to whom they entrust our nation's highest offices, and we stand united -- we stand united in our resolve to do something about it.
