I still remember the knot in my stomach upon seeing the sea of white faces from the window of our school bus. It was the first day of school 1961. We came from a neighboring black community, about a hundred or so of us, to the newly integrated white Jr/Sr high school with thousands of students. Everything intimidated me, the massive school building, being around whites for the first time, feeling small, seventh grade school work (would I measure up) and my stutter. The night before, I shared my fears with my preacher dad. Dad gave his typical answer, "Trust God". Someone...

Recently, I thought of two Hall of Fame baseball players, Baltimore Orioles', Frank Robinson and Cal Ripken Jr. On several occasions, I witnessed Robinson, bottom of the ninth with two outs, dramatically hitting the game winning home run. Most players may hit the game winner once in their careers. With great pride, they repeatedly tell the tale to their grandkids. Incredibly, Frank Robinson hit the "big one" numerous times. Cal Ripken Jr holds the record for going 2,632 games without missing a day at work. But Cal is beloved for more than his dependability. He was an excellent quiet player...

My music producer Frank Starchak is a genius. I've challenged him to do something never before done on a commercial song recording. However, I feel it is necessary to evoke the emotion and magnitude of the tea party movement. As he's done numerous times in the past, Frank has risen to the occasion. He just played me the rough mix today. Folks, it gave me GOOSEBUMPS on GOOSEBUMPS! Tomorrow, I will perform my lead vocal. The national release date is JUNE 23rd. Can't wait for y'all to hear it. All the best, Lloyd Lloyd Marcus Singer/Songwriter of the American Tea...

Like global warming, swine flu and everything else wrong in the world, racist, sexist and homophobe, Rush Limbaugh is largely responsible for who I am today. In 1993, I had a great job as Art Dept. supervisor at an ABC affiliate TV station in Baltimore. The same station where Oprah was co-host on our morning show, years earlier. While minding my own business, my favorite radio talk show host was replaced with Rush Limbaugh. I thought, “Who is this wise guy?” A week later, I was hooked. Unapologetic, Rush courageously and boldly said everything I felt. Rush became my HERO!...

I realize that many of you truly want to believe Obama is the great savior. At a party, astonishingly, someone said we should be patient with Obama because he is working down a list of everything wrong with America and fixing it. A friend even went as far as to say, “God will judge Foxnews for their negative reporting of Obama”. Unfortunately, I'm sure my friend is not alone in his belief that Obama is divine and anyone criticizing or opposing him is evil. And of course, almost every black I know, thinks I'm the world's greatest “Uncle Tom” for...

Okay, so Carrie Prejean, Miss California, posed topless. Is this suppose to disqualify her from standing up for traditional marriage? Then, the media came out with a story about her dad being gay. So, what! This is another dirty trick of the liberal left to silence conservatives. Unfortunately this tactic continues to work. Here is their premise, unless you live a 'perfect' life, you can not stand for principles or distinguish between right and wrong. This is hog wash. Remember when Bill Bennett authored, “The Book of Virtues”? The media cheered and did cartwheels when they discovered he had a...

10.The same problems Democrats have been promising to fix for 40 years are worse. 9. In 1950, 24% of Black kids grew up without dads. In 2009, 63%. Seven out of 10 are born out of wedlock. A result of Democrat encouraged generational government dependency. 8. The Black male high school dropout rate is 40%. Of those, 72% are jobless and 60% will probably be incarcerated. Another consequence of government replacing fathers in the home. 7. Amid the chaos after Hurricane Katrina, democrat congressman William Jefferson used the National Guard to get home to retrieve $90,000 suspected bribe money from...

Remember the Soup Nazi on the Seinfeld sitcom? If you annoyed the chef, he would yell, “No soup for you!” When I hear the mindless reasoning of Obama supporters, I want to scream, “NO VOTE FOR YOU!” All of our spending as a nation up until this point in time is dwarfed by Obama's spending in only 100 days. And yet, he promises fiscal responsibility. Our great grand kids will be paying his debt. Various areas of private sector freedom are being infringed upon as Obama boldly goes where government has never trespassed before. My goodness, he fired the CEO...

As in the Civil War, the Obama administration is straining relationships. Here is my letter to Al (not his real name) a fellow black, long time friend and mentor. Dear Al, I didn't pick up when you called because I don't know how you will re-act to what is going on in my life. I've become famous for my “American Tea Party Anthem” which opposes the policies of Obama. I know you're a HUGE Obama fan and believe ALL who oppose him are evil. So, you can understand how I find myself in an awkward position. I'm totally accepting of...

My Tea Party Anthem was played and I was interviewed on a radio talk show in Alabama this morning. The host, Kevin Elkins is a black Libertarian. A few black callers said I was wrong about America not being racist. They sited incidents in which they suffered racial discrimination, one happened in 1989. There will always be some discrimination for various reasons...you're too fat, too thin or whatever. What frustrates me are people who find comfort in viewing themselves as victims. Thanks, Lloyd

Ms Garafalo, HOW DARE YOU! Calling hard working, decent American taxpayers 'racist tea bagging rednecks' simply because they protest outrageous government spending is evil. Your irresponsible divisive accusation fuels the flames of racial hatred and could inspire violence against whites. Your arrogance in saying that I suffer from “Stockholm Syndrome” because I am a black man who loves his country and my fellow Americans is beyond measure. I can not begin to express how offensive it is for me to hear narcissistic superior liberals lecturing me on why I should view myself as a victim and hate white America. You...

From homeless to cause celebre, things are happening fast for the Central Florida singer-songwriter ever since he debuted his now famous “The American Tea Party Anthem” at Orlando’s Tea Party three weeks ago. Self-described Black American Conservative Lloyd Marcus was feted last Friday night before the Santa Barbara Tea Party by famed songwriter Tom Snow at Snow’s fabulous Montecito mansion overlooking the valley and Pacific Ocean beyond.

Singer-songwriter Lloyd Marcus at the piano with songwriter Tom Snow at Snow's home in Montecito, California. Snow and his wife Mary Belle hosted a cocktail party honoring Lloyd last Friday night. He's an overnight sensation! How often have you heard that said of entertainment "stars" who seemingly appear on the scene in a flash of publicity and buzz. A newly discovered talent! A star! An overnight sensation! What most folks don't realize is the time, sacrifice and effort that has gone into becoming "an overnight sensation". A good example of that is our friend Lloyd Marcus, whose song "The American...

Singing the blues.

Got this message in my email and wanted to share this video and song with you.Hello, it's Lloyd Marcus, one of the spokespersons for the Our Country Deserves Better Committee. I'm active with this organization because I believe that Conservatism is compassionate and is the true path to achieving the AmericanDream. Liberalism weakens the human spirit by encouraging people to view themselves as victims. Besides political activism, my other great passion in life is as a singer, because that's one of the things God gave me the greatest passion to pursue. I've written a new song that I want to...
