Lloyd's Pondering: Race Lesson from a 93 Year Old White WomanLloyd's Pondering are experiences and thoughts I pray will encourage and inspire you. July 11, 2010Easter Pansy, my wife's 97 year old grandmother lives in a nursing home. She lived on her own up until a year ago. Mary and I attribute Easter Pansy's unique youthful energy to having to care for her live-in Down syndrome son, Davey, for the past 50 years. Davey became ill and was placed in a nursing home. Without the daily responsibilities of caring for Davey, Easter Pansy's age caught up to her and she...

He's Obama! He's Black! So, Shut Up! I received this message on Twitter from a black female, “Lloyd Marcus “F--- you!”, in response to my opposition to Obama. This woman is obviously a non thinking racist who refuses to take an honest look at her black idol president. She has chosen to ignore Obama's long list of offenses of shredding the Constitution, governing against the will of the American people and using Chicago thug tactics. All this black woman knows is Obama is the chosen one and he is black. So shut up! Whites who dare to criticize or question...

I will be sharing thoughts and experiences which I hope will encourage, inspire and/or entertain you. Politics, Poker & the Beach.June 19, 2010 Hi Folks, I just flew back home to Florida from LA. I was out there shooting an episode of the Right Network new TV show, “Politics & Poker”. I had a ball! The host of the show is Thomas F. Wilson, who played Biff Tannen in the “Back To The Future” movies.The concept of the show is fun. The set is designed to look like a basement family/game room. Tom invites his buddies over to play poker...

Sharron Angle Victory for Tea Party/ We The People “We're havin' a tea party across this land...if you love this country, come on and join our ban”, excuse me for starting this article singing a line from my “American Tea Party Anthem”, but I feel good. Sharron Angle endorsed by Tea Party Express came out of nowhere to win the race for GOP U.S. Senate candidate in Nevada. I am Lloyd Marcus, Tea Party Express tour performer and spokesperson. I met Sharron Angle on the campaign trail while on TPX II tour. You know what it is like to be...

The Black Church's Commitment to Obama By Lloyd Marcus Dear Black Church, What I am about to say will probably anger you. As a black Christian, I have struggled with whether or not to address this sensitive topic. I only ask that you give my statements prayerful consideration. Ninety-six percent of black voters, many of whom are Christians, cast their votes for Barack Obama. I question: Did your desire to see a black man in the White House trump your commitment to Christ and Christian values and principles? While I believe many white Christians also made a racist decision by...

Media Demands, 'Take Us To Your Leader, Sarah Palin!' By Lloyd Marcus Is Sarah Palin the leader of the Tea Party Movement? This is asked as a "gotcha" question by the liberal mainstream media of every spokesperson of the Tea Party Movement. The liberal mainstream media is so far out of touch with the majority of Americans, their rationale is: if they can get tea partiers to say a wacko like Palin is their leader, it will confirm that the movement is nothing more than a bunch of extremist fringe loonies. In their arrogant, elitist Bicoastal, ACLU-joining, New York Times-reading...

Tea Party Music: Tea Are The World! Lloyd Marcus I got the idea while traveling and performing nationally on Tea Party Express Tour II. At rallies in every city, conservative musical artists gave me their CDs. Singer/songwriters emailed their songs; all understandably proclaiming theirs to be the greatest tea party song ever written. I loved the ones who gave me a sheet of lyrics with their permission for me to create a melody, invest time and funds hiring musicians and studio time to produce their song with a promise of sharing the millions made from the sale of their "sure...

I am exhausted. I returned home after performing at tea parties in 42 cities, from Searchlight, NV to Washington, D.C., in nineteen days while on the Tea Party Express III tour. I'm black conservative singer/songwriter, entertainer, author, and spokesperson Lloyd Marcus. I wish to share with you how the liberal mainstream media has dealt with my participation on the Tea Party Express III tour. Liberal mainstream media all but call me an Uncle Tom. Their reports imply that I am a token black too stupid to realize that I am being used by the tea party movement. In typical liberal...

Black Dem Race Exploiters Trash Tea Party So, I am on the Tea Party Express bus traveling to our next rally in Omaha, NE when the faces of black democrats Maxine Waters and Charley Rangel appear on TV on the Fox News channel. Both were saying racism was at the core of the Tea Party protester's disagreement with Obama. Please excuse my crudeness, but I wanted to puke. These two race exploiters are calling the Tea Party protesters racist. Meanwhile, I am a black performer/activist traveling on my third national Tea Party Express tour. We just finished our rally in...

I am on the Tea Party Express tour bus traveling to our next rally in Provo, Utah. We just left St George, Utah. At the rallies, I perform my original "American Tea Party Anthem" song and more. I usually walk among the crowds when I am not on stage. I have attended over 100 tea parties across America and the crowds are all the same; bright, well informed, decent and hard working Americans. Today, at our St. George, Utah rally, I felt a new level of love and concern for our country. There were numerous veterans, some from as far...

As millions of my fellow Americans, I am outraged, devastated and extremely angry by the democrat's unbelievable arrogance and disdain for We The People. Despite our screaming “no” from the rooftops, they forced Obamacare down our throats. Please forgive me for using the following crude saying, but it is very appropriate to describe what has happened. “Don't urinate on me and tell me it's raining.” Democrats say their mission is to give all Americans health care. The democrats are lying. Signing Obamacare into law against our will and the Constitution is tyranny and step one of their hideous goal...

As a black proud Tea Party patriot, I am extremely offended by MSNBC TV show host Dylan Ratigan's baseless accusation that the Tea Party Movement (my white brother and sister fellow patriots) embraces Nazis and racists. Ratigan's attack epitomizes the liberal media's commitment to protect Obama and his radical agenda at all costs. They have a genuine disdain for freedom, capitalism and We The People. No tactic is too low. Ratigan's rant:While interviewing (really badgering) Mark Williams of the Tea Party Express, outrageously Ratigan attempted to portray the bus tour as a far right hate group supportive of the killing...

I was there in Washington, D.C. with my dad when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. I was a little boy. Highlights I remember are yellow school buses parked as far as I could see, MLK's speech, and black actress Lena Horne's electrifying one-word speech. Horn approached the podium and simply screamed the word "FREEDOM!" holding it for a long time. The crowd of 250,000 plus went wild with laughter and applause. I also remember how certain ideas in MLK's speech struck powerful chords in my young heart and mind. "People should be...

Housewives and moms Lisa Feroli, Diana Evans and Suki Carder epitomize what the Tea Party Movement is all about; We The People taking back our country in whatever ways our passion and talents lead us. This dynamic trio have created and host a new political forum which they have named, “Eat and Greet”. The forums are held in a restaurant in each Central Florida congressional district. All candidates running for office in that district are invited to attend. Each candidate is given two minutes on the microphone for an opening monologue. Diana, Suki and Lisa are polite but firm. When...

I performed my “American Tea Party Anthem” and “Twenty Ten: We're Gonna Vote Them Out” at CPAC as a representative for TeaPartyExpress.org. I was struck and excited by the high number of youths in attendance (over 50% were under 25 years old). With liberal iron fisted dictatorship regimes ruling most of America's campuses, how did these kids survive attempts to indoctrinate them? Those with whom I chatted said they simply figured it out. Just the other day, a friend's daughter who is a freshman in college complained about being forced to write a flowery essay about how Obama mirrors Martin...

Tea Party Movement Untamed It appears everyone and his brother is seeking to categorize, direct and control the incredible increasing powerful phenomenon known as the Tea Party Movement. Some say it is doomed to fail because it does not have a single charismatic leader. Some say taking a stand on social issues such as abortion is death to the movement. Stick to the Constitution is their mantra. Some fret, what about the in-fighting and groups splintering off to form new groups? Ticket prices sparked controversy at the first Tea Party Convention. Some believe the movement should forever remain grassroots. Some...

I struggled with whether or not to discuss this topic. Our Haitian neighbors are suffering tremendously. I am extremely proud and thank God that we, America, were first on the scene, doing what we always do: come to the rescue of people in need. I questioned, "Lloyd, are you making much ado about nothing?" Well, you be the judge. I am confident that Indianapolis Colts football player Pierre Garçon meant no disrespect to the USA when he waved the Haitian flag after the Colts' victory over the Jets in the AFC championship game. However, I must confess that it rubbed...

Ego, Obama's Achilles' Heel The Bible says, “I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree” (Psalms 37:35). A classic scenario is evil appearing to be all powerful only to be defeated. Wow, what an accurate description of the collapsing Obama administration. The Obama regime had all the power, the White House, a majority in the House and the Senate. Team Obama owns the liberal media. Because the media selected him, they have a vested interest in protecting his presidency. Obama also had the American people in his corner; youths considered him a...

I've often said jokingly that Black History Month should more accurately be called "white people and America suck" month. Rather than focusing on all of black history, every February the liberal media and most democrats gleefully bring up all of America's past sins. Fine. I mean after all, it is a part of history. But what is so wrong is these race exploiters imply that current race relations in America have not come very far from the days of blacks being lynched. Thus, Black History Month in reality is the liberal democrat's annual fund raiser and promo campaign for more...

Say it Loud - I'm Conservative and I'm Proud! In 1968, James Brown released his song, "Say It Loud -- I'm Black and I'm Proud." The cruelest and saddest effect of slavery and racism in America is that it caused us blacks to hate ourselves. When I was a kid, I picked up an unspoken vibe from my fellow blacks that light-skinned blacks were better than us of a darker completion. "Good hair" meant similar to white. One summer afternoon, my mom yelled, "You kids get in the house! You're gettin' too black out there in that sun!" I remember...
