Hi Julia… We posted this article in March and it’s nice to see it still has “legs”.

The sad thing about what is unfolding is that many folk are still mesmerized by his eloquence not fully understanding the amount of personal freedoms that will be lost under a state run centralized health care system and a movement to “socialism” that is happening right under everyone’s noses. More and more Americans, like yourself, are beginning to ask themselves… what have we done !!

Thank God for Mid Term elections !! SAY NO to the creation of a U.S.S.A …. (United Socialist States of America)

I have been a staunch supporter of Obama in the past. And i recently realized that i don’t know much about him-his policies, values or his views on issues like homosexuality, abortion, etc. What i do know is the image of him that has been projected-both by the Democratic party and by himself. After going through your article, I am starting to doubt whether Americans made the right choice by electing him.

Yeah, Backtrack Oblabla has been driving so far in the far left lane he has two wheels in the shoulder gravel.

BTW, it’s ‘pique your interest’ not ‘peak your interest’. (And certainly never ‘peek your interest’! )

An Open Letter to Senator John McCain and the Republican National Committee:

September 2, 2008

Dear Senator McCain and Mike Duncan, Chairman, Republican National Committee:

“Dear” is all you will get from me. By now you all should be in Minneapolis for your shindig that you call a “convention.”

I am an African-American, and I cannot hold back my anger any longer. It is a documented fact that the Republican Party before and during the Civil War supported and benefited from slavery. As a matter of fact, the Republican Party was started for the express purpose of defending slavery and holding down black people.

It is also a matter of record that the Ku Klux Klan was started by Republicans after the Civil War to terrorize and murder black and white Democrats in the South. Republicans hated the fact that many ex-slaves were serving in state and federal government. They also hated the fact that everyone of the ex-slaves were all members of the Democratic Party. All the white Democrats, before and after the Civil War, were sympathetic to the cause of abolition of slavery and of civil rights for blacks, therefore racist Republicans had no use for them.

The Republicans historically have been bitter opponents of the following Democratic initiatives:

• The 13th Amendment that abolished slavery in 1865
• The 1866 Civil Rights Act
• The First Reconstruction Act of 1867
• The 14th Amendment in 1868 that made all persons born in the U.S., including former slaves, U.S. citizens.
• The 15th Amendment in 1870 that give every citizen the right to vote
• The Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 which was to stop Republican Klansmen to terrorized white and black Democrats
• The 1875 Civil Rights Act
• The 1957 Civil Rights Act
• The 1964 Civil Rights Act
• The 1965 Voters Rights Act

In every case, the white Republicans in the Senate, especially Senator Everett Dirksen, and in the House of Representatives fought passage of these laws in every turn as well as being compelled to give up their slaves after the Civil War. The Democratic leadership, especially Senator Robert Byrd who has always despised the Ku Klux Klan and who discouraged white Americans from joining that gang, fought very hard to have those laws passed. Democratic Senator Al Gore Sr., not only voted for the Civil Rights Act in 1964, but he, along side of Senator Byrd, fought a 74-day filibuster by Republicans to defeat the legislation. The Congressional Quarterly of June 26, 1964 recorded that, in the Senate, only 69% of Republicans (46 for, 21 against) voted for the Civil Rights Act as compared to 82% of Democrats (27 for, 6 against) the Civil Rights Act. In the House of Representatives, 61% of Republicans (152 for, 96 against) voted for the Civil Rights Act and. 80% of Democrats, (138 for, 34 against) voted for it.

The Republicans have also opposed every Democratic anti-lynching bill to their shame. The Democrats have always been opposed to lynchings for decades.

For these reasons, we black people deserve an apology from the Republican Party for the following:

• support of slavery, on record in their platforms
• support of the Dred Scott decision
• support of segregation and Jim Crow prejudice
• opposition to anti-lynching laws
• attempts to destroy black schools and colleges, and the burning of black churches
• efforts to defeat the Reparation Bill of 1866
• efforts to defeat every piece of Civil Rights legislation from 1863 to 1964
• efforts to have the 1875 Civil Rights Act declared unconstitutional
• support of the Ku Klux Klan, composed of entirely Republicans, and its vile and violent racist agenda:
• Republican participation in the lynchings of thousands of blacks.

History will also show the following:
• Eugene “Bull” Conner (the poster boy of American racism) was a Republican.
• The poll tax was a Republican institution.
• Black codes and Jim Crow laws were instituted by Republicans.

Africans Americans are even due reparations from the Republican Party since it supported and benefited from slavery as well as supporting KKK terror, racism, etc. The Civil Rights movement started because of the majority white racist Republican power structure in the South.

The Democratic Party, of course, has had its problems racially here and there, unfortunately, but it does not have the consistent racist legacy for decades and decades, stretching back to the early 1800’s as the Republican Party has had. The Democratic Party, in general, has always been supportive of and open and honest with African Americans throughout its history.

You Republicans have been very slick in ignoring and even hiding your racist past from black people. It is time for the Republican Party to come clean, tell the truth, and settle the debt.

Sincerely,

Brother X

Why is it that when a black person openly supports conservatives or the republican party and openly oppose an entitlement mentality they are immediately labeled as being uncle tom and accused of turning their back on their race. (ala Bill Cosby and others) I never seem to hear this from other races. Chinese, Native American etc… even latino for that matter. I have utmost respect from my fellow conservatives at this site because we share common beliefs and philosophy and it has nothing to do with skin color. And even more so in that they have the courage to stand up for what they believe even though they are a minority within a minority. P.S. yes, I’m a white guy – but that shouldn’t make a damn bit of difference with respect to alignment of political and social beliefs and philosophy. We are Americans first. The folks at NBRA I suspect feel the same way ! And I say God bless them and the courage of their convictions. In the end they are doing more for their race than those that would continue to propagate divisiveness for personal gain (The good Rev. Wright)

Frances Rice obviously is a twisted individual and I don’t think that you speak for the whole of the NBRA. Martin Luther King, Jr. must be stirring in his grave because the hate you spew is everything he was against. We all have ancestors that did things that we would not condone. This is like the pot calling the kettle black. I’m sure you have ancestors as we all do that were slave owners and for you to press a point such as this is ludicrous. Martin Luther’s heritage represented the equality of all people, not just a particular party.
You should be talking political issues and not mischaracterizing one candidate. You have not answered the question as to what John McCain would do for an African American woman, once middle class but because of the last 8 years is now struggling to make ends meet. Because I’m not rich, McCain can offer me nothing because he feels that the government owes the people nothing. This is not about race, but the Republican party continually has not supported the low income or middle class and the people are finally realizing this. Ms. Rice, you can continue to spew your ridiculous smears as the Republicans have always done, but you will not fool the people this time. God bless you for you are spreading falsehoods and as one of the commandments states, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor”. The people are sick and tired of the Republican smear campaign.

Who’s the say that White Americans won’t elect John McCain over Obama because he’s white? We have to wait and see.
