I’m really happy with it. Blacks are abandoning the Liberal Plantation. If the Democrats can’t hold onto to their black base... they’re toast in the South. Expect more minority officeholders to jump ship.

Here in Alabama, once George Wallace and solid dimocratic country, we have long abandoned the dimocrats. We now are solid republican, with a republican governor, Lt. Gov, atty general, sec of state, state legislature solid republican, 2 republican senators, and a congress delegation solid republican. My congressman is republican. Probably some moderate republicans in there, but at least they are not marxist dimocrats of WA, Oregon, Cal, Mass, NY types.

That would be awesome. A shift back to the Republican party.

Wait until you see their voting records. They aren’t necessarily abandoning the plantation, just the Democrats.

If just 10% of African Americans and 10% of Latinos shift GOP landslide victories abound. The Latinos here in California are being so had as they are very conservative at home in many ways. They are ALL God loving people and the Lefties in Sacramento will have to reckon one day soon when they explain to all the Latinos know that we allowed you here you must check your religion at the border..... NOT!

So the National Socialist Party of America is just *now* too far left for them?

Eff 'em. We don't need black Snows and Collinses.

The [Democrat] party had conservatives and liberals both in the party.

Not for a loooooooooong time, it hasn't.

Certainly we need to wary of deathbed conversions, but I have long argued that there are large elements of both the black and hispanic communities that are natural conservatives, both social and fiscal. They are uncomfortable in the democrat party but have felt that they have no choice. I am glad to see that they are finally waking up. Look for the Republican party to be the party of diversity in the future, not in theory, but in fact. We are united not by color or tribe, but by a commitment to conservative principles. That is diversity in unity (e pluribus unem), not unity for diversity’s sake (unem pro pluribus). The dems will will never achieve principled unity because they have no foundation. They are united only by their jealousy and hatred of the better off. So those are the choices: principled hard work and recognition of achievement, or lazy redistribution of wealth. Many in the black and hispanic communities are deeply committed to the former and not the later. I say, let them come over.

You know, I don’t care if these men are underwritten by the KGB. Anything that deprives the Democrats their race and class warfare bullshit is good for America.

Yep! bttt

It’s OK for Liberals to Call Blacks the “N” Word.

Posted on Saturday, May 23, 2009 1:51:17 PM by Lloyd Marcus
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2256953/posts

“maybe this nigger should shut up and learn his place” is one of numerous racist hate-filled comments posted on YouTube attacking me, a black Conservative, for writing the “American Tea Party Anthem”. And who is spewing this racist hate? So-called tolerant Liberals.

But how can this be? According to the bias media, liberal democrats are saviors saintly protecting blacks from evil rich white conservative republicans. Regretfully, their “devoid of the truth” marketing plan has been extremely successful. For generations, like zombies, blacks award liberal democrats 90% of their vote.

Like the woman in the old diet infomercial, I want to scream to my fellow blacks, “STOP THE INSANITY! Liberals democrats are NOT OUR FRIENDS!” They want to keep us on their “you’re a victim” plantation. Simply put, Liberal democrats HATE ‘uppity’ blacks who achieve without their programs such as Affirmative Action.

Here are my outrageously stupid beliefs which have caused libs to call me the “N” word on numerous occasions. I love my country. I tell youths all limits are self-imposed. No one is entitled to the fruits of someone else’s labors. I refuse to see myself as a victim.

Liberal actress, Janeane Garofalo, diagnose blacks who think like me as suffering from “Stockholm Syndrome”. Garofalo in her arrogance is REALLY saying, “Get your black ‘A’ back on the plantation. Who do you think you are? You are NOT free. You are a eternal victim. Every white American will ALWAYS owe you! GOT IT, you dumb, “N”?”

And yet, with help from their local buddies in the media, Democrats successfully brand Conservative Republicans as racists. History reveals the truth that blatant racism has been the elephant in the liberal Democrat’s living room for years. (http://www.errvideo.com)

FACT! Conservative Republicans do not persecute black achievers. Liberal democrats DO! Blacks achieving without Liberal Democrat assistance are targeted for destruction. Examples are former Secretary of State Condolezza Rice and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. These two brilliant blacks should have been held up to black youths as shining examples of what can be achieved in America via character, education and hard work. Instead, Liberal Democrats despise Rice and Thomas. Rice and Thomas severely weaken the lie that America is racist with limited opportunity for minorities.

Also, the “victim business” can be extremely profitable. Remember when the NAACP got 54 million dollars from Dennys because some blacks received slow service? Give me a break! And then, there is the dirty little secret among liberal black democrats. Rice and Thomas broke an unspoken rule which goes as followed; to be true to one’s blackness, one MUST always harbor, at least a minimal, resentment against white America!

Here are more examples of liberal racism. A white blogger posted a doctored photo of black former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele in white minstrel blackface. The caption read, “Simple Sambo wants to move to the big house”. Liberal cartoonists published vicious racist cartoons of Condolezza Rice. They even called her “Aunt Jemima”. Former KKK member, Democrat Senator Byrd used the “N” word in an interview. Byrd apologized and everyone moved on. A few republicans who made far milder gaffs were verbally flogged within an inch of their lives and subjected to high tech lynchings.

The media ignores liberal democrat racism. I guess they consider it a kind of ‘tough love’ to reign in us blacks who have wondered off the victim plantation. When they call us the “N” word, it is only because they care. “Ouch, I’m movin’, easy with that whip!”

It is time for blacks to wake up and smell the betrayal. Democrat so-called compassionate policies and programs have destroyed many black families. Before Democrat President Lyndon Johnson’s “War on Poverty” in 1965, most black families were intact. Today, over 60% of black kids grow up without dads. Again, I refer you to (http://www.errvideo.com) The media and Democrats are co-conspirators in keeping as many blacks as possible crippled with a victim mindset and dependent on Democrats and government. Totally disgusting.

So, you libs and Dems, keep calling me the “N’ word. It only strengthens my resolve to keep standing up for the truth. In my best Charlton Heston as Mose impression, I command, “Liberal Democrats...LET MY PEOPLE GO!”

I agree - I am very encouraged by this. Nearly every night Herman Cain gets a caller who tells his/her story how they are waking up to the evils of liberalism.

I hope it’s the beginning of a flood!

Soon we will see more and more courageous black males -—after the likes of Thomas Sowell and Clarence Thomas-— stand up and be counted along with the women of which you speak.

How fitting it would be if the sons and daughters of former slaves are the ones to take this country back from the slave owners (who, to this day, try and keep them on the ‘RAT plantation), and re-Found it according to the Framers original intent.

Fine and dandy, but just don’t think we’re going to go liberal because we have a few Black Democrat converts joining!

If these guys start trying to act on their liberal (Congressional Black Caucus) tendencies, I say we leave them and the GOP establishment to their own devises as a tiny monority party. We’ll have our own conservative majority!
