Al Sharpton's pathetic counter demonstrationto Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” event in D.C. is only the latest highlight of the perversion of the civil rights movement by its current self proclaimed "leaders." More and more American blacks have come to realize that the Democratic government plantation is not so different from the Democrat's original version in the pre-Civil War South. Dependency is dependency. A welfare check and food stamps are doled out by the new "massa”—same as the old "massa".

Nice post - thanks.

Which means the left will be much more dangerous now. Cornered and wounded animals are always dangerous.

Roger is on fire with this Op Ed piece. The message is getting out loud and clear. Liberals are bad. Identify them. Punish them.

The author has this essentially right.

But, not ONE WORD on Immigration, Borders, Language?

I believe THESE are the fundamental Culture issue of 2010 and beyond. When combined with the crazy fiscal mess the libs have created...the GOP has an OPPORTUNITY to win big, while at the same time purging itself of big spenders, immigration advocates and secular bigots.

Again, with leadership, the GOP has the opportunity to build a working, multi-decade coalition.

Excellent. Many FReepers would be shocked to see how conservative blacks really are.

Liberalism can be killed in our cities - school vouchers, man/woman marriage, 2nd Amendment liberties and abortion are things we have in common with those trapped on the Democrat’s plantation.

We lost the culture war long ago. I cannot see when things will ever return to those golden days of yesteryear.

Flame on, FReepers...

Winning? I remember a Japanese joke from World War 2. A Jap soldier or marine is speaking to a fellow grunt and says "Of course we are winning great victories. We are sinking hundreds of ships, but do you notice that the victories keep getting closer to the home islands?"

We have a pendulum shift against the left at the ballot box. But we have no more won the culture war today than the right did in 1972 when Nixon was re-elected. Look up the Hegelian Dialectic. This is antithesis against the left, but the new synthesis will be a compromise, further to the left than where we began. If you think I'm kidding, look at gay marriage. In the 1980's the idea was preposterous. A generation later, it is legal. No conservatives go to gay groups.

Actually, it's worse. The left controls culture. They dominate education, 90% of the media, the bureacracy, most corporations, and many religious institutions. They will defeat us by slowly redefining our reality, assimilating our children to their revolution, and importing a new people.

The leftist extreme is about done 0stick a fork in it...

The pendulum swings back now -usually, it swings further than anticipated or thought possible; e.g. Prohibition...

I think the financial crisis that the progressives have crawled out of the shadows to brazenly take advantage of has exposed them to the light of day -they are going down...

The supposed Age of Aquarius (actually the age of the selfish brat) has about used up its 15 minutes and left quite a tab for future generations...
