Wake Up America !!

“(If) you are dumb enough to walk around and identify yourself with that Party (Democrats), you are not only a chump but you are a traitor to your race.”

If I told you that Dr. Benjamin Carson made this statement last week, how quickly do you think it would take the main stream media or the liberal elites to utterly decimate him?

It seems that he has become the most recent target of the left. Every word he says seems to be turned against him. If he said “Good Morning” he would be vilified as being “anti Night”.

He has been demonized in the press and by avante garde celebrities. He has been called an "Oreo," a "Token,"  a white man's "Negro," an "Uncle Tom,"  a "Negro du jour," and “Nigger”, among other things.

Recently he made the statement:

"Marriage is between a man and a woman. No group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality, it doesn't matter what they are. They don't get to change the definition."

The resulting backlash was equally swift. Everyone was just looking for something to say against him in order to marginalize him.

Yet, during the recent Supreme Court testimony on marriage equality, where was the same outcry when Justice Sotomayor said the following:

“Mr. Olson, the bottom line that you're being asked, and it is one that I'm interested in the answer: If you say that marriage is a fundamental right, what State restrictions could ever exist? Meaning, what State restrictions with respect to the number of people, with respect to, that could get married, the incest laws, the mother and the child, assuming they are of age, I can accept that the State has probably an overbearing interest on protecting the child until they're of age to marry, but what's left?”

So what is the difference? Is the incest contingent a more acceptable group to go after?

The problem as I see it is that the left is engaging in a game of smoke and mirrors.

It got me thinking when Dr. Carson said "They’re (Liberals) the most racist people there are because, you know, they put you in a little category, a little box. You have to think this way. How could you dare come off the plantation?"

For those of you who may learn left in their political thinking I want you to consider this for a moment. Name one black conservative who has not been publicly attacked by the left. I’m not saying you have to agree with their politics, but why are they attacked? Dr. Carson, former Representative Allen West, for Presidential candidate Herman Cain, Niger Innis, Thomas Sowell, former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice. It seems the left cannot get enough of bashing them simply because they have the audacity to be conservatives.

I love when the hip folks like Touré attack Dr. Carson. Hmmmm let me get this straight, a college dropout who’s greatest contribution to the world is that he is host of a Hip Hop show and wrote a biography of Prince, and yet somehow he has been ordained to cast aspersions on a man who graduated from Yale and University of Michigan Medical School and is the Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Johns Hopkins Hospital; as well as a Professor of Neurosurgery, Oncology, and Pediatrics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Oh, now it makes perfect sense to me.

Honestly, do you see the irony in this?

For a moment, let’s get back to the original quote I started this post off with. If Dr. Carson said that would it be appropriate for the left to rip him apart?

What if I told you that comment was made back in the 60’s by Malcolm X…… I’d like to hear someone rip him apart as a “token black”……anyone? Chris Matthews? Touré?

Here is the exact transcript:

“This government has failed us. The government itself has failed us, and the White Liberals who have been posing as our friends have failed us. Once we see that all these other sources to which we have turned have failed, we stop turning to them and start turning to ourselves.

You are the one who sent Kennedy to Washington. You’re the one who put the present Democratic administration in Washington, D.C. The Whites were evenly divided. It was the fact that you threw 80% of your votes behind the Democrats that put the Democrats in the White House. When you see this, you can see that the Negro vote is the key factor. And despite the fact that you are in a position to be the determining factor, what do you get out of it?

Democrats have been in Washington, D.C. only because of the Negro vote. They’ve been down there 4 years and all the legislation they wanted to bring up the brought up and got it out of the way, and now they bring up you. You put them first and they put you last, cause you are chumps (applause). A political chump.

In Washington, D.C. in the House of Representatives there are 257 who are Democrats. Only 177 are Republicans. In the Senate there are 67 Democrats, only 33 are Republicans. The Party that you backed, controls two-thirds of the House of Representatives and the Senate and still they can’t keep their promise to you, cause you’re a chump.

Anytime you throw your political weight behind a political Party that controls two-thirds of the government and that Party can’t keep the promises made to you during election time, and you are dumb enough to walk around and identify yourself with that Party, you are not only a chump but you are a traitor to your race [applause].” ~ Malcolm X

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 Passed with 80% Republican Support and 60% Democrat Support. The Act was opposed by most southern Democrat senators, several of whom were proud segregationists; one of them being Al Gore Sr. Democrat President Lyndon B. Johnson relied on Illinois Senator Everett Dirkson, the Republican minority leader from Illinois, to get the Act passed.

Recently the left vilified Senator Rand for his filibuster of John Brennan’s nomination for the CIA over the issue of Drones being used on United States soil.

What you didn’t hear was who had the longest filibuster on record. That dubious distinction goes to the 14-hour filibuster by U.S. Senator and former Ku Klux Klansman Robert Byrd (D-WV), who served in the senate till his death in 2010. The filibuster was against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

For the record, future President John F. Kennedy also voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Segue to the 2012 Election. This was on the Democrat Party Website: “For more than 200 years our party has led the fight for civil rights…”

Really?

Maybe Malcolm X was right, maybe we are all chumps. I have said this time and time again, if you vote by party and not by person you are part of the problem.

People need to wake up and stop repeating the spoon fed pabulum of sound bites that come at us from every direction. Both sides are part of the problem and I have written about this before. Remember that the swamp was supposed to be cleaned up after Pelosi took over. How'd that work out ? 

Or maybe this is just the end.

Maybe you will just continue to believe the bullshit they feed you that the democrats became republicans and then republicans became democrats. Maybe you are okay with it. I’ve looked at it, and its insulting to my intelligence.

If you want to hurl that little brick fine, but before you do, write me and explain that little anomaly of Robert Byrd and why he didn’t have a “miraculous” transformation from Democrat to Republican. While you are at it, then explain Edward Kennedy, or maybe John Dingell. So why were they “democrats” in the bad old days, but stayed “democrats” in the good old days? And why would you be associated with a group that had such bad memories? It’s like saying you were for something before you were against it….

Honestly, if just reading that doesn’t make you think twice about that idiotic bullshit, then don’t bother, you’ve already drank too much kool-aid.

I’m sorry; a leopard doesn’t change its spots.

A Man of Integrity

C.S. Lewis once wrote that "Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching." 

Today something happened to me that makes me question the veracity of that quote. I am not inferring that the quote is wrong, but I wonder if it is completely accurate.

So I pose this question to you.

“What is more difficult, doing the right thing when you are alone or doing the right thing when those actions might be used against you?”

As the matter I speak of is still ongoing I will not go into any details. In fact I have purposely kept myself at a distance from my former peers so as not to put them in the position of choosing sides in the matter.

For months I had felt like a voice in the wilderness. Suffice it to say that the actions of this person confirmed what I had been saying all along. It is difficult when you know something in your heart and yet you realize that truth can sometimes be replaced by political expediency.

This morning truth won out.

However, my vindication seems bitter sweet. I am now left more concerned for this person then I ever was for myself. I wonder what ramifications there will be against them for being honest.

Irregardless of the final outcome I have won. I have been blessed by God to have a friend who would speak honestly on my behalf while exposing themselves to risk for doing so.

It is a very humbling thing and to speak about it any further would only cheapen the magnitude of what they have done.
