My heroes --- Reporters vs. Conservative Black Leaders at Press Conference 8-4-2010

Two reporters engage in a heated exchange with black conservative leaders at a press conference at the National Press Club on August 4, 2010 challenging the NAACP on its charges of racism within the tea party.

Pamela Geller, American Thinker: A War Amongst Us

You must read my latest piece over at American Thinker:

A War Amongst Ourselves Pamela Geller, American Thinker

It is becoming increasingly clear to anyone paying attention that the seeds of division are being sown with increased vigor by Obama's shadowy machine.

America, in her naiveté and eternal hopefulness, thought that electing Barack Hussein Obama would be the final chapter on race in America, and would hammer the last nail into a well-deserved coffin for the divisive racial narratives that demagogues and provocateurs have used for so long to tear down this country. Little did America know that Barack Obama was the candidate of exactly those demagogues and provocateurs.

In a stunning reversal of decades of progress and harmony, during which spokesmen from the hate fringe like Louis Farrakhan were cast outside the realm of decent society, Obama's presidency has ushered in the era of the hater. In the new doublespeak, hate is good.

And every single good decent American who is standing up for individual freedoms, small government, and self-reliance is now evil.

Sowing the seeds of division is a pillar of Obama's short but destructive presidency. It started early. The Boston incident involving Henry Louis Gates gave a clear indication of how he would enflame the populace with racist rhetoric. Back in July 2009, in a prime-time press conference, Obama smeared and libeled a good, decent (white) police officer with a spurious charge of racism. The police officer was just doing his job. In fact, the perp was the racist and the hater:

Lt Colonel Allen West: NAACP and Liberal Racism

Once again, Lt Colonel Allen West shares his clear and brilliant observations of events shaping our nation. Here are his thoughts on liberal racism and the NAACP.

Washingtoons
18 July 2010
Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army, Retired)

Liberal Racism
"One Nation under God Indivisible with Liberty and Justice for All"

Greetings Wheels on the Road readers, fellow South Floridians, and all Americans, my how time flies and here we are again for our monthly political assessment.

It never ceases to amaze me that as we get closer to our monthly submission of this regular missive that the topic becomes evident. I often use an ole saying from my parents, "sometimes you just have to thank God for stupid people"....and I do. The focus for this month without any doubt has to be the NAACP and its President/CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous.

Let me make one thing very clear, my Mother, Elizabeth Thomas West, was a lifetime membership holder with the NAACP. Therefore growing up in our home I clearly understood the mission and vision for this organization. It was a mission and vision that enabled me to have the pride in myself and the heritage of my parents, grandparents, and extended family. It was a mission and vision that, to me, fostered a desire to excel beyond the standard and have a commitment to excellence regardless of skin color.

However, something has happened to that mission and vision, something horrific and inconsistent with the principles and values I recalled emanating from the "ole school" black community. Somewhere along the way victimization mentality has taken root in the black community resulting in astronomical unemployment rates, high incarceration rates, appalling murder rates, breakdown of the black family, and embarrassing teen pregnancy rates.

And in the light of all these negative socioeconomic indicators the NAACP decides that the preeminent focus of their national convention would be on issuing a resolution castigating the Tea (Taxed Enough Already) Party movement as racist. Even Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee of Texas was so compelled as to state that the Tea Party is filled with Klan members.....but we will get to the Congressional Black Caucus a bit later.

Instead of maintaining its mission and vision, the NAACP has now become the "useful idiots" (a term coined by Vladimir Lenin) for liberal racism. They have made themselves into a political hack job organization which now seeks to maintain the liberal progressive socialist control of the 21 century plantation. It is on this new economic plantation where the liberals seek to enslave the black community in order to maintain a devoted, monolithic, voting electorate.

I find it interesting that the NAACP was silent when Senator Harry Reid made his insidious comments about President Obama was favorable, likeable, because he is "light-skinned" and did not speak in "negro dialect". I recall that the NAACP said nothing when Vice President Joe Biden referred to Barack Hussein Obama as "clean and articulate". The NAACP said nothing when liberals attacked Clarence Thomas, Condoleeza Rice (birthing tubes cartoon), Michael Steele, and General Colin Powell.

In 2008, where was the NAACP to denounce the obvious case of voter intimidation by the New Black Panther Party? Why did the NAACP not demand President George W Bush, and now, Attorney General Eric Holder, and the Obama adminstration, to prosecute this case to the fullest extent? Does the NAACP now support the same tactic which targeted the black community seeking to restrict the most fundamental of American individual rights, the right to vote? And shall the NAACP distance itself and condemn Malik Shabazz and the New Black Panther Party?

It is this duplicitous hypocrisy which allows me to state that the NAACP is shamefully now a liberal racist enabler. The upcoming mid-term elections have the Democrat party in certain peril. Therefore they have turned to their tactic of first and last resort, race baiting.

The resolution issued by the NAACP against the Tea Party is just a strategy to focus this coming election not against liberal progressive policies, which are anathema to our Republic. No, the NAACP, in conjunction with their masters, the Democrat party, seek to make this into an election based upon an insane charge of racial hatred.

We even see charlatan blasts from the past such as Julian Bond stating that Martin Luther King Jr was a socialist, a feeble attempt to garner black community acceptance of the liberal progressive agenda. We are truly on the verge of a dangerous situation in America. And yes, this also includes the lawsuit being brought against the sovereign State of Arizona, an attempt to win Hispanic votes.....an extension of liberal racism to another minority group.

We can fully expect from now until 2 November 2010 to see the usual suspects come out to promote the dishonest tyranny of the liberals. You will find the Congressional Black Caucus, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton out to ensure blacks remain wedded to the failing liberal social welfare policies, all the time shouting how the Democrats know what is best. I find it comical that Al Sharpton has already leapt forward to head up a new left-wing grassroots group to counter the Tea Party called "One Nation".

Does One Nation believe in higher taxes and bigger government? Will this counter group promote individual rights and freedoms, liberty, and adherence to our US Constitution? I presume this group will seek to intimidate and put forth the ideals of collectivism combined with victimhood and expansion of the "nanny-state".

I find the Tea Party, to which I have spoken to several times, stands for fundamental principles and values consistent with that which has made America an exceptional Constitutional Republic.

Therefore, under the "leadership" of Al Sharpton, this counter group One Nation obviously stands for principles which are antithetical to our Republic.

In closing, I am sure you are asking why did the ole Colonel have the last sentence in the Pledge of Allegiance in the title for this piece?

Simple, Liberal Racism does not believe in One Nation under God. They believe in a Nation of subjects organized into collective groups under which they shall rule, not govern, in a secular humanist based society.

Indivisible, Liberal Racism does not believe in "e pluribus unim", they prefer a balkanized America where they can pit us against each other through their manipulated messages....such as Tea Party racism.

Liberal racism does not believe in Liberty and Justice for All, they believe in freedom defined by a ruling class elite while creating more victims who become dependent upon their dishonest benevolence. Justice in the world of Liberal Racism means social and economic justice rooted in a principle of leveling, which founding father Samuel Adams spoke against. Al Sharpton defined justice as everyone having the same in every home in America.....government engineering of results and outcomes.

The mid-term elections of 2 November 2010 comes down to "One Nation under God Indivisible with Liberty and Justice for All" or the concept of One Nation under the proprietor of victimization Al Sharpton, a simpleton crony of Liberal Racism. Which shall you choose?

Steadfast and Loyal,
LTC(R) Allen B West

Real Leadership is Color Blind: Lt Colonel Allen West on NAACP Race Baiting

Statement Condemning the NAACP Resolution by LTC Allen West (USA, Ret.)

"The NAACP has missed the target. Their target should not be the Tea Party, but instead the larger issues facing the Black community: astronomical unemployment rates (15.5%) and the breakdown of the Black family, which result in higher drop-out rates, disproportionate incarceration rates and teen pregnancy rates (12.6%). These issues should be the focus of increased scrutiny by the NAACP.

This NAACP Resolution is consistent with the Obama administration tactic of demonizing and blaming someone else for your own failures and shortcomings, and not take responsibility and accountability."

UPDATE: RACIST DEMOCRATS: Rep. Jones calls black Hillary Supporter "Uncle Tom"

DENVER - A black delegate for Hillary Rodham Clinton says she was called an "Uncle Tom" by Illinois Senate President Emil Jones, one of Barack Obama's political mentors.

Chicago political consultant Delmarie Cobb says Jones made the remarks Saturday night while discussing her support for Clinton. She called the remark "fighting words" and unacceptable.

LIVEBLOGGING First Annual Black Republican Forum NYC

Gorgeous day New York City and it's even more gorgeous at the Women's Republican Club. I am Liveblogging Annual Black Republican Forum. Where's McCain?

David Webb is happy to be  in a room with "Africa American conservatives and everyone else" introducing conservative man of the year Right Talk radio host and WND columnist Mychal Massie (moderator for the afternoon)

"We don’t need a black man to be president so badly that it forces us to take leave of our senses. We need a man (or woman) president who is pro-America, pro her citizens, is committe to our Constitution, and pro traditional values."

Yeah baby

Princella Smith is recounting the true history of Civil Rights. And its been the Republicans that have the history on fighting slavery, racism and civils rights? Whyis that Black America stands with the party of Jim Crow laws and the Klu Klux Klan, that fought civil rights?
"All those racist Democrats stayed racist Democrats until the day they died"
The Democrats keep the black community in abject poverty to maintain power of them.
The Democrats hijacked the Republicans civil rights movement  upon JFK's death (the Republicans would not exploit his death)

"The Democrats are the party of poverty, the Republicans in the party of prosperity"

I say, amen to that.

And if you missed my off the cuff live interview with Allen West, go here.

AN ATLAS FIRST: GUEST BLOGGER ON MY MACHINE. Now that's hot.

GUEST LIVEBLOG - Hip Hop Republican is taking over and writing the following update:

Atlas and Frances Rice                                         Hip Hop Republican takes over Atlas's machine

Thanks Pamela for allowing me on to take over..the person who is up speaking is Rep. Jennifer Carroll she is speaking on the bias in media. She started her talk with a question is the media biased? She answered the question with a question "does the veins need blood". Rep. Jennifer Carroll is speaking about the slaughter of black children by black children and the failure of the media to highlight this. She just spoke about the media's influence on black youth and the terrible consequence that occur when they are parroted. The message she is leaving with the audience is that Republican's do not want to harm the black community but to heal it.

The next speaker is David Webb he is a radio show host who is speaking about the need for all us us to look at character over race and to focus on the issues.

There is now a panel starting to answer questions from the panelist and Bob Parks is being asked by a women in the audience about the success of his campaign in Massachusetts's. Bob is giving a  brief history and demographic of the issues of the district.

We are all being asked now to take a break.....

Okay break over..I am sitting here with fish crackers and sprite and am listening to Niger Innis from CORE a Manhattan based advocacy group. Niger is speaking on immigration policy he is talking about the differences in various nations regarding this policy. He is talking about the historical diversity of our nation and how effective policy can  shape its role in the future.

UPDATE: My special guest bloggerHip Hop Republican continues:

Now for the number one speaker Colonel Allen West. He just saluted three army service members in the audience. He is now talking about the historical significance of building up a nations border from ancient Rome till today.  He is talking about the dangers of sanctuary cities that effect mostly black and poor communities. Allen West is highlighting how many of the gangs like MS13 have created turf wars and a potential nightmare. He is tying in health cost and economic security with the ability of our nations failure to crack down in illegal immigration...okay he is done

Now the panel is applauding the young solders who are in the audience ironically all Hispanic.

Pamela here: Deborah Honeycutt is up. WOW. This  brilliant brash, doctor is a proud Republican and she  will be the first African American females Republican congressperson. I am listening to her and she is inspiring. Apparently, my first impression is spot on because Hip Hop just gave me an article and it appears Honeycutt is strategically poised to become the the Republican Party what Oybambi is for the Democrats  - an historic political star.

She is running in the 13th District in Gerogia and she is electric.

Pamela here:I asked the panel how they were going to copmbat the media blackout on their message. "if the Republican message is the bastard, the Black republican message is the aborted child (ta liberal pun). What are you going to do to circumvent the MSM and get the message out."

Deborah Honeycutt responded: "We have to go to every meeting, every group discussion. We must shout from the housetops. We cannot be silent. We mest get out there. We must use the net"

Speaking of which, I am going to go see if I grab Honeycutt and see if I can get a VLOG. I just finished a interview with Kerry's opponent Jeff Beatty. Check it out on youtube now!

Break time: Loading video of Deborah Honeycutt. What a woman! This is a great event. McCain stumbled big time by not being here. This is his constituency. He would have brought the press and the message of these great Americans would get out there. Foolish move.

UPDATE: HONEYCUTT AND ATLAS INTERVIEW. She rocks!

 

Bishop Yonel Yarboro (left)                  Leftie sighting! Ellis Henicon showed up for the carrots.

Next up: Keynote speaker Lynn Swann

Frances Rice, Lynn Swann, David Webb

Black Republican Chair Jennifer Carrol just endorsed McCain. CROWD GOING WILD!

Webb is speaking of tonight's theme. RACE AND THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE. Lynn Swann will be speaking on the subject.

Swann speaking. He's funny. "my mom and dad wanted two daughters. They wanted two daughters, and they had me. They named me Lynn anyway" :)

She enrolled him in dance classes anyway and after being surrounded by girls for a couple of years he said to himself, this is not a bad place to be. He was a Baptist and and went to an all girl's religious school. 

Discussing Race in the Presidential Race.

Race is not an issue. The economy is an issue.

Foreign Policy, if you are elected to the office of the United States, is an issue.

Education is an issue. Race is not an race.

The Democrats and the candidate has made race an issue.

Martin Luther King said a man should be judged, not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.

The race is about the economy. He is going on to describe the short and long term impact of the deleterious effects of what the Democrats have planned. He is saying that small business cannot take such a hit.

21 million small businesses will suffer enormously. They will be forced to lay off workers. 

ENERGY: We have to drill. HUGE APPLAUSE.

I live in Pennsylvania, We like coal. We need a president who do what is necessary not a facade of hope.

Swann is congratulating what Obama acheived and it deserves respect.

You must ask these three questions of the candidates:

Who am I?

What do I believe?

How do I act on those beliefs?

Ask those questions and there is no other answer. That person is JOHN MCCAIN!

John McCain is the clear choice.

I do not have  aclear undrstanding of what and who Obama is and what he stands for.

We need someone we can count on.

We don't need more entitlements.

I do not intend to be herded into a polling place and be told I have vote a certain way.

Thats racist.

McCain has been tested.

Recounting a story now of how he was questioned at a football game by a woman, "how can you be a Republican"

and he said, "because I choose to."

Why do you assume because I am black that I have to be a Democrat?

I am a free man. I choose

The Republican party is the spirit and the soul of the Black people. We have to be ministers of the Republican.

Ladies and Gentlemen, open those doors to the Republican church.

UPDATE: Thanks to Pamela for this:  Lynn Swann's speech at Black Republican Forum (22 minutes)

GO WEST FOR YOUR FUTURE!

New York was a little sweeter today, a little safer, a little stronger. The wonderful Allen West came to the big town and I am honored and proud  to support his candidacy. This man represents the Republicans' best hope, our new vision for the future of the Republican party. This is a great American. A hero.

He gets it. He knows what needs to be done. On energy. On limited government. On creeping sharia. On the nanny state. On Islamic jihad. Read the columns he wrote for Atlas while stationed in Kandahar: Colonel's Column from Kandahar

This man makes Oybambi look one of those cardboard display characters, a mere shell.
 

Get involved in his campaign. Join his army. Contribute. Please. Your country depends on it.

West Answers Obama: Run as a Man and Leader Clarice Feldman, American Thinker

In response to Obama's claim that Republicans will use race to stoke fear, Lt. Col Allen West, candidate for Congress in Florida's 22 District issued this release:

My advice to Senator Obama is to run as a Man and Leader, and the American people will evaluate you as such, not as a victim. This is a presidential race, based solely on a capacity to lead the United States of America. It is not about skin tone; however, perhaps we should come to expect these immature statements.

It also seems rather humorous that the presidential candidate who was supposed to be such a "uniter" and transcend race is the one talking about it the most. If Senator Obama was confident in his abilities and character, he would not need to create a crutch for failure. Senator Obama has just tipped his hand; any criticism of him and his policies will be directly attributed to racism. I congratulate Senator Obama for taking race relations in America back some 30 years.
