On May 02, 2012, one of America's bravest warriors spoke out against the tyranny of the liberal Democrat establishment.
No, he's not one of our brave military warriors fighting against our enemies in the world of terrorism or the scarred fighting fields of Afghanistan instead, he is fighting the stubbornness of his fellow black Americans in an attempt to wake them up to the fact that the liberal Democrats in America are using them to make themselves look like saviors while burying them deeper in the dregs of indebtedness and abject or hopeless poverty.
That brave warrior is Lloyd Marcus, a black conservative, and he spoke out against liberal Democrat tyranny in an article titled "The ultimate appeal to persuade fellow blacks to stop voting Democrat" on May 02, 2012 online, in the freedom and democracy loving Canada Free Press (CanadaFreePress.com) which touts in its masthead, "Because without America there is no Free World."
Marcus explains in his article that for years he has struggled to explain to fellow black Americans why they should join him in not voting for Democrats running for office. He gets peeved at liberal black authors and philosophers who say that white America abuses blacks and then call for more government funded programs when all they are looking for are more "government entitlement freebies."
I am inclined to agree with Mr. Marcus when he states that "The Democratic Party leadership has been infiltrated by arrogant power hungry liberals who think they know better than you how to run your life." But I might add that those power hungry liberals are both black and white, that think all problems are solved by throwing government taxpayer dollars at them. I also have this feeling that a lot of that sort of money finds ways of sticking to the fingers of those who want to do the throwing.
Though these misguided politicians number in the hundreds in our Congress, a prime example lies with a Georgia Representative named John Lewis who always has a scurrilous word ready for any white person who tries to halt the excessive spending that is so prevalent in our Congress when such spending is being programmed for the black communities in America. And if the truth were known I would bet that he would feel the same about black conservatives as well.
Representative Lewis gained much notoriety some years ago in Congress when he was a champion of reparations to current black citizens in America for the atrocities of the slave days in this country. He called for the United States government to make payments to current black citizens as a form of punishment to the white slave traders of the earlier centuries. However, it was widely known that many of the slave traders were black Africans themselves.
Marcus identifies two noted black conservatives that are of the same mind and disposition as he, and they frequently speak out at the futility of the black people who wholeheartedly trust those who lead them to believe that Democrats are their saviors while Republicans who are mainly of the conservative value status are going to abuse them.
The two black conservatives Marcus refers to are Professor Walter Williams and Dr. Thomas Sowell. He identifies these two illustrious and caring men showing Williams as an American economist and academic. He is the John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University, as well as a syndicated columnist.
Marcus lists Dr. Thomas Sowell as an American economist and academic, as well as a syndicated columnist.
Both gentlemen are well known and respected members of the conservative thinking and practicing form of government with ideals and beliefs that would help to lift the black citizens of America into the mainstream of our country's respected ways of life and out of the serfdom where liberal Democrats keep them prisoner and subject to their meager handouts in return for their votes to perpetuate their terms in elected offices.
Lloyd Marcus states that Williams and Sowell are about "real" black empowerment, teaching personal responsibility, education, hard work and morality; not the standard 'blacks-are-eternal-victims and white-America-owes-us' garbage spouted by black pundits on TV', and adds, you NEVER see Prof. Williams or Dr Sowell on mainstream TV.
It would benefit all black Americans If they would listen to their learned conservative black fellow countrymen such as Marcus, Williams and Sowell.
