Patriotism cooling: dissing America

I struggled with whether or not to discuss this topic. Our Haitian neighbors are suffering tremendously. I am extremely proud and thank God that we, America, were first on the scene, doing what we always do: come to the rescue of people in need. I questioned, "Lloyd, are you making much ado about nothing?" Well, you be the judge.

Ego, Obama’s Achilles’ Heel

The Bible says, "I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree" (Psalms 37:35). A classic scenario is evil appearing to be all powerful only to be defeated. Wow, what an accurate description of the collapsing Obama administration.

Black History Month should be about black history

I've often said jokingly that Black History Month should more accurately be called "white people and America suck" month. Rather than focusing on all of black history, every February the liberal media and most democrats gleefully bring up all of America's past sins.

I have some juicy dirt about Tea Party Express

The other day I received an email from a friend who had heard some false and malicious attacks against the Tea Party Express. He was concerned and wrote me to ask about it because I've been a part of the Tea Party Express since its inception last year.

Say it loud—I’m conservative and I’m proud!

In 1968, James Brown released his song, "Say It Loud — I'm Black and I'm Proud." The cruelest and saddest effect of slavery and racism in America is that it caused us blacks to hate ourselves. When I was a kid, I picked up an unspoken vibe from my fellow blacks that light-skinned blacks were better than us of a darker completion. "Good hair" meant similar to white. One summer afternoon, my mom yelled, "You kids get in the house! You're gettin' too black out there in that sun!" I remember thinking, What is wrong with getting darker? This mindset is why Brown's black pride anthem was so important and empowering.

A black-on-black discussion of black racism

This topic may infuriate many of my fellow blacks. I am talking about black monolithic thinking and black racism.

Reid’s racism: typical trashing of white America

During the presidential campaign, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Barack Obama would be a good candidate because he was "light skinned"and "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Since the exposure of his racist comment, Reid has been running around apologizing to every black in America.

It’s all about Obama…Mm…Mm..Mm!

My wife Mary's eyes glaze over whenever I mention football. "But honey this is about life not football" I promise her. She graciously listens. Three years ago with only a few minutes left in the game, all Tony Romo, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys had to do was hold the football so his kicker could kick a game tying field goal. Romo fumbled the ball.

No…the Tea Party movement does not need a leader!

A recent article predicted the Tea Party Movement will fail and fade away because it does not have an official leader promoting a single agenda. I disagree.

In politics the “C” word always matters

In defense of Bill Clinton, their Democrat president, the liberal media campaigned to convince Americans that character does not matter. In the midst of the Clinton scandals, I was shocked to hear even a minister say Clinton's affairs were a personal matter and did not affect his presidency. The media spin worked.

A world without Limbaugh

I hate to say this out loud. Upon hearing Rush Limbaugh was in the hospital and his condition serious, I felt a nervous twinge in my stomach. Dare I say it, I thought, "Oh my gosh, what if Rush was gone." I could not help but think of the shocking passing of Michael Jackson. The next morning, I timidly turned on my TV. "Praise God!", Rush is resting comfortably.

A Christmas message from Lloyd Marcus

Dear Fellow Patriots, After meeting you on three tours across America (the Stop Obama tour and Tea Party Express tours I & II) I feel we are family. Though I am black and most of you in attendance at the rallies have been white, we embraced as brothers and sisters because we share conservative values and a love for our country.

Libs scold black conservatives “who the ‘H’ do you think you are?”

A young married couple, Paul and Nancy were neighbors of mine back in the seventies. Nancy was extremely excited. An unexpected opportunity arose for her to attend college. This would broaden her horizons and enable her to pursue opportunities beyond her current minimum wage jobs. Paul was dead set against it. He confided in me, "I'm afraid if she gets educated, she may not want me anymore." I thought, "So rather than allowing Nancy whom you profess to love to be all she can be, you would prefer to keep her down."

Radical feminism’s attack on manhood in America

Over the years, radical feminism has been attempting to demon-nize any display of testosterone. The slightest aggressive behavior is taken to the ultimate extreme portraying males as abusers. Their goal clearly is to wimpify maleness.

Lloyd’s Take On: Why Such Joy Over Tiger Woods’ Humiliation?

Thanks to my wife who has this thing about not getting rid of books, I stumbled across a book I read years ago in my youth, “The Hiding Place” by Corrie ten Boom. The book chronicles the horrible experiences of Corrie and her family imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps. The epic cruelty and man's inhumanity to man is breathtakingly unbelievable. Due to the brutality, extreme exposure, malnutrition and filth, Corrie's sister Betsie died about a week before her release.

Tiger likes white women… so what?

Black community spokespersons tell us the black community is offended that all of Tiger Woods' mistresses are white. I find the whole black spokesperson thing absurd. The media runs to Sharpton, Jackson and others to get the official black America take on hot issues. Are we a tribe? Are these guys our chiefs? By the way, who are the spokespersons for white America?

In defense of Sarah Palin & conservative women

I was in Texas performing at a tea party rally (singer/songwriter of the American Tea Party Anthem). While waiting for my wife, I wandered into the hotel pub. It was Lady's Night. A cowboy practically had a line of women waiting to dance with him. He held them firm, but gentle. He confidently lead and they gleefully followed. Each knowing she was in good hands.

OBAMAZILLA is America’s true nemesis, not fellow patriots

Eleven months ago, he landed on the shores of America destroying everything in his path. A gigantic fire breathing monster wreaking havoc, consuming private sector industries, crushing institutions which have made America great and destroying lives. With fear and trembling we dare to utter his name...Obamazilla! Though appearing indestructible and unstoppable, millions of brave patriots arose to challenge the beast; vowing not to sit idly by as America as we know it is terminated.

Farewell Oprah, how about a gift to black America before you go!

I have a history with Oprah Winfrey. Back in the eighties, Oprah and I worked at WJZ-TV, an ABC affiliate TV station in Baltimore. Oprah was co-host with Richard Sher of the local morning talk show, "People Are Talking." I was a Graphic Designer in the Creative Services/Art department.

Tea Party Express II Tour: IT’S OVER…for now!

My patience was short with the newspaper reporter. I am Lloyd Marcus, singer/songwriter, black conservative activist and participant on the national Tea Party Express II tour; 19 states; 40 rallies. At our finale rally in Orlando, Florida, a reporter approached me. She had a "these people are a bunch of nuts" attitude and smirk on her face.
