A Critique of today’s Republican Party? Pt. 1 – Minority Reporter

Over the years there has been a concerted effort, on behalf of many, to rewrite political history, especially when it comes to that of the Democrat Party. After finding this out, I set out to find the truth and answer a question that has been on my mind. Is the Republican the same party it once was? (More)

How the Right Has Turned Everything Into a Culture War — And Why That’s Terrible for Our Democracy – AlterNet

The political press takes it as a given that there is a sharp dividing line between the “social issues” propelling the culture wars (abortion, school prayer, gay rights) and matters of substance (the economy, foreign policy, immigration and safety-net programs like unemployment benefits). But as the American conservative movement has veered sharply rightward over the past 30 years, that line is no longer so clean. Today, conservatives have a social argument for every subject of debate – everything has become part of debate – everything has become part of the culture wars. (More)

Black Activists Sue Democrat Party For History of Racism & Abuse – Source: Gateway Pundit

When the Civil War ended, and after Republican President Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, Democrats initiated Jim Crow laws to keep the black man down. Democrats didn’t much like blacks. In fact, the KKK, as you know, was founded as the the terrorist wing of the Democrat Party. (More)

Black Democrats Promoting Republican Cain And The Republican Party

I am enjoying the conversation with Democrats about Herman Cain and why I should give him a chance because he is black.

I am not too damn naive to know that REPUBLICANS are targeting blacks. Who will suffer the most when it comes to the cuts? Who are they saying are benefiting from poverty programs?

Why in the hell is it that since Herman Cain has come in the picture that now Democrats like Jeff want to change the way black folks have viewed which party they felt better represent their needs? The problem I have had is why in the hell the focus is not on electing more black folks in the Democratic Party and then we can make manure happen.

I just think it is ignant as hell for a Democrat to be promoting the Republican Party but yet I suppose to treat them the same when it comes to POLITICS. Oh hell no especially when I am not willing to sell my damn soul for a black REPUBLICAN while there are all those other REPUBLICANS.

Am I missing something? Is it time that black folks need to switch back to the REPUBLICAN Party? And if any black person says "YES" but don’t think black folks need to start their own party then I will just stay where I am.

Don’t Get Mad Because I Am Black And I Identify Myself With What Is Black

Wilsonian Voices

Joel M. Killion said…
Democrats SHOULD want more Americans – not JUST African-Americans – registered and voting. Why are they so hung up on color? Sheesh!
And what’s with a group named "African-American Caucus of the North Carolina Democratic Party"? Can you imagine what the community would think and say if the Republican party created a group by the name of "The White Caucus of the North Carolina Republican Party"? It would be vilified and RIGHTFULLY SO! Of course, the GOP would never create a group like that. It’s creepy and un-American. Yet, the GOP is accused of racism all the time (w/o proof), while the Dems pull the race-card day in and day out and are given a pass. It’s ridiculous!

Just ignant as hell. I get so sick and tired of if white folks call themselves this and call themselves that, but who are in control of These United States.

To say that Republicans are accused of racism without proof is too damn ignant because their actions shows racism daily as they cut this and cut that in which the cuts are directed towards BLACK folks. It do not take a damn rocket scientist to see who the Republicans are targeting.

I am more interested in who run corporate American than I am who is the President of these United States.

Don’t get mad because I am black and I identify myself with what is black because I recognize and understand that when black folks do better all folks benefit.

Black Folks Who Continue To Talk About How Impressive Herman Caine Is Will You Please Answer These Questions

1. What does Caine bring to the table for black people? When black people do better all people benefits so therefore other folks will reap the benefits as well.

2. If you are a Democrat do you plan to register as a Republican because you can not vote for him during the Primary election?

3. So just because you like Caine do you think that the other Republicans are going to support him and his vision?

Brainwashed Black People

Wolf Blitzer: Why is the Republican Party basically poison for so many African Americans?
Herman Cain: Because many African Americans have been brainwashed into not being open minded, not even considering a conservative point of view. I have received some of that same vitriol simply because I am running for the Republican nomination as a conservative. So it’s just brainwashing and people not being open minded, pure and simple.
Wolf Blitzer: That’s a strong word to talk about your fellow African Americans. Brainwashed?

William Cain Resume, Impressive? Okay Now What?

Finally: A HIGHLY qualified Black man that ALL Americans can elect for all the RIGHT reasons, and NOT just to make history — it’s been made — and NOT just to appease "guilty white consciences," and NOT JUST BECAUSE HE’S BLACK. Herman Cain can NOT be America’s first Black President — Bill Clinton was declared that, and he doesn’t want nor need White Guilt, and he’s NOT brainwashed nor afraid to allege that many Blacks have been brainwashed by the party that 1) lynched them during the heyday of the KKK, 2) mostly voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act, 3) has been conducting a losing war against Blacks in Poverty for the last 47 years, and 4) largely takes their vote for granted because they promise to remain the party of poverty, entitlements, welfare, and dependency creation!

Here’s his Resume:

* Herman Cain is running for president.
* He’s not a career politician (in fact he has never held political office).
* He’s known as a pizza guy, but there’s a lot more to him.
* He’s also a computer guy, a banker guy, and a rocket scientist guy.

Here’s his bio:
*Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics.
* Master’s degree in Computer Science.
* Mathematician for the Navy, where he worked on missile ballistics (making him a rocket scientist).
*Computer systems analyst for Coca-Cola.
* VP of Corporate Data Systems and Services for Pillsbury
(this is the top of the ladder in the computer world, being in charge of information systems for a major corporation).

– All achieved before reaching the age of 35. Since he reached the top of the information systems world, he changed careers!

* Business Manager. Took charge of Pillsbury’s 400 Burger King restaurants in the Philadelphia area, which were the company’s poorest performers in the country. Spent the first nine months learning the business from the ground up, cooking hamburger and yes, cleaning toilets. After three years he had turned them into the company’s best performers.

* Godfather’s Pizza CEO. Was asked by Pillsbury to take charge of their Godfather’s Pizza chain (which was on the verge of bankruptcy). He made it profitable in 14 months. In 1988 he led a buyout of the Godfather’s Pizza chain from Pillsbury. He was now the owner of a restaurant chain. Again he reached the top of the ladder of another industry.

* He was also chairman of the National Restaurant Association during this time. This is a group that interacts with government on behalf of the restaurant industry, and it gave him political experience from the non-politician side. Having reached the top of a second industry, he changed careers again!

* Adviser to the Federal Reserve System. Herman Cain went to work for the Federal Reserve Banking System advising them on how monetary policy changes would affect American businesses.

* Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. He worked his way up to the chairmanship of a regional Federal Reserve bank.
This is only one step below the chairmanship of the entire Federal Reserve System (the top banking position in the country). This position allowed him to see how monetary policy is made from the inside, and understand the political forces that impact the monetary system.

* After reaching the top of the banking industry, he changed careers for a fourth time!

* Writer and public speaker. He then started to write and speak on leadership. His books include Speak as a Leader, CEO of Self, Leadership is Common Sense, and They Think You’re Stupid.
Radio Host.

* Around 2007, after a remarkable 40 year career he started hosting a radio show on WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country).

*He did all this starting from rock bottom (his father was a chauffeur and his mother was a maid).

* When you add up his accomplishments in life including reaching the top of three unrelated industries: information systems, business management, and banking, we must conclude that Herman Cain may have the most impressive resume of anyone that has run for the presidency in the last half century.

IT CERTAINLY TOPS CANDIDATE OBAMA’S RESUME AS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER, P/T ADJUNCT INSTRUCTOR, AND 2-YEAR FRESHMAN SENATOR UTILIZED ALMOST ENTIRELY AS A PLATFORM TO LAUNCH HIS CANDIDACY FOR THE PRESIDENCY.

The Political Agitator response:

This article says he’s NOT brainwashed nor afraid to allege that many Blacks have been brainwashed by the party that 1) lynched them during the heyday of the KKK, 2) mostly voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act, 3) has been conducting a losing war against Blacks in Poverty for the last 47 years, and 4) largely takes their vote for granted because they promise to remain the party of poverty, entitlements, welfare, and dependency creation!

So what race of people are we talking about here that did all of this?

So back in the day how many black people served as Republican elected officials?

So have all white folks and all black folks always been a Republicans and/or Democrats all of their lives dating back when?
————————————————————-
Okay, so he should be impressive to black folks?

So is he and can he be impressive to white folks?

Will the other Republicans in the Congress support him?

I strongly believe that the majority of black folks want to live the good life by receiving a quality education, being able to get a good job to provide for their families and to be productive in life however I strongly believe most black folks recognize and understand the need for affordable health care and other social programs because of the many years that black folks have suffered. However black folks know that not only black folks benefit but whites as well because some of them are put in the same category that black folks are.

I strongly believe black folks have been programed by the educational system that anyone even a black man can become President. However I also feel that black folks feel that they could relate to a black man serving as the POTUS especially having voted for 43 white men over the years.

So why did white folks vote for President Barack Obama? Oh he must have brainwashed them during his campaign.

I love it when much emphasis have been put on the black thing when it comes to the POTUS but how about on the local level where politics count the most in my opinion?

I say even within either party why is it 99% more likely that a black candidate will not win when he/she has white opposition? There is so many factors that come into play and MONEY is the number one factor.

I am so glad I am actively engaged in politics and know for myself what is going on, who the players are and do not depend on others to make my decision at election time.

I have common sense to know that I can only vote for the party I am a member of during the Primary Election but know that I can vote for any party during the General Election. But my question is if I am a Democrat why in the hell would I want to vote Republican just because I like just one of the candidates?

Thank you John Butts for sharing.

Black Folks Who Are Democrats And Are President Obama Haters, How Do You Just Connect With The Enemy?

I understand holding the President accountable for his actions but to not give the man 2 terms in office is just ignant on these black folks behalf who are lining up with others against him.

I have always seen black folks as our worst enemies when it comes to politics.

And then if they don’t like the President and they are Democrats why in the hell don’t they support another Democrat? How do you just go on the side and connect with the enemy?

I just don’t get it.

Black Folks Better Come Together Like Never Before In 2012. Will You Seek The Facts Or Will You Be Bamboozled?

We are where I knew we would be as it relates to a Black President not being accepted by racist white folks however what I didn’t think was going to happen was we would allow the Republicans to take over locally and nationally. We must be in the majority to make things happen so therefore we must be in control of the House and Senate on the local and national levels. However when we are in control we must still hold them accountable for their actions.

I knew there would be some blacks who would not accept having a Black President also because hell many blacks didn’t accept Dr. Martin L. King when he was alive but today those same safe Negroes are all about him. This is how the safe Negroes of today will be years from now when President Obama is not in office.

Democrats, Republicans Non-Partisan Elections

Okay don’t get it twisted. There are elections such as School Boards and Judges that are labeled non-partisan.

But have you ever wondered why these elections are labeled such?

So when you hear a Democrat and a Republican say they are going to be non-partisan you better think twice. I don’t feel it is necessary to make such a statement. I feel strongly if one put their campaign agenda on the table it will let us know where they stand on the issues.

It’s easier to pass amendments than to create jobs – Source: Rocky Mount Telegram

n the middle of a contentious debate in Raleigh over a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, a professionally dressed gentleman sat in a hallway Monday with a plaintive sign: “How does this get me a job?”

The N.C. General Assembly has passed a bill to put the amendment before state voters next year. North Carolina more than likely will join 30 other states in passing a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. Never mind that there’s already a state law forbdding such marriages in the first place. (Read more)

To create jobs, the President unveiled the American Jobs Act – nearly all of which is made up of ideas that have been supported by both Democrats and Republicans, and that Congress should pass right away to get the economy moving now.
