Is America only for white people? The question stuck in my mind following yet another e-mail exchange with a friend of mine, regarding my conservatism. For this particular gentleman, being black in America is at odds with conservatism.

Turmoil and Triumph: The George Shultz Years is an informative and an insightful look into The Presidential Administration of Ronald Reagan. This PBS Series particularly examines the years during which George Shultz replaced Alexander Hague as President Reagan’s Secretary of State. Depending upon both still photography, primarily to piece together a biography of George Shultz early life, and also live footage to highlight George Shultz role in creating Reagan’s exemplary foreign policy.

Turmoil and Triumph paints a portrait of George Shultz as an intellectually sound man with a PhD. in Economics from MIT who was also an extremely well-qualified Humanitarian who paved the way not only for the integration of African-Americans in the United States into the business sector, but who also paved the way for an end to Apartheid in South Africa as well as paved the way for an end to the despotic rule of The Marcos in The Philippines. Through life-like reenactments throughout this series, George Shultz role in engineering “Détente” (peaceful coexistence between the U.S.A. and The Soviet Union) is also examined. Comprised of three sixty minute segments, each part in the series of three is as equally compelling as the others.

As I watch my 1000+ retirement shares of BP slowly sink in the murky abyss of unrelenting gushes of oil, I don’t personally give a damn if the BP CEO yachts or Obama plays golf; they might as well since both haven’t a clue what to do.

First, the president’s panel to investigate Deepwater Disaster contains not one oil man or American Petroleum Institute member which is ludicrous. Unless you have been involved in oil drilling you don’t know the dynamics of the process and safeguard procedures currently available for deployment to address the issues. There should be someone in occupational medicine with veterinary experience to address the human and animal concerns at play as well as the threat to the food chain for man and beast. The dumb remarks of Chris Matthews on Hardball saying early on that the government should nationalize oil was stupid for we have neither the expertise to do such nor as we are currently observing regulatory oversight structure for both are proving inadequate and inept.

The GOP thinks that opposing financial reform will net them a fistful of campaign donations and the full backing of Wall Street in the years to come. They couldn’t be more wrong.

I don’t know his politics, I don’t know which issues he’s campaigning for, and I don’t know about his background but I do know Democrats. Most importantly, I know racism when I see it. That’s why I’m supporting the candidacy of Alvin Greene in South Carolina. I am not endorsing him but I do endorse his right to run. Liberals hate that I constantly accuse them of being the racists that they are. Too bad. The colossal push to force a black man out of a race he won fairly provides more proof why the Democratic Party is the most racist institution in America today.

The Alvin Greene story reads like a Hollywood script. Here you have a veteran without any political pedigree, get rejected by the party machine then miraculously gets accepted by the people. He achieves the improbable goal of winning his party’s nomination in a statewide race with few resources. Unfortunately for Greene, he has reached far beyond the boundaries reserved for black politicians. He will now suffer the wrath of the Democratic machine because of his ambition and desire to serve his state. While blacks are the most loyal Democrat voters, the party has made it clear that as long as a black person runs for a seat in an all-black district, he won’t have any problem with his party. For the record, Obama doesn’t count. When I say “black,” I am referring to Americans like me that trace their roots to enslaved Africans.

Methinks the congressman from South Carolina dost protest too much about political abnormalities only when it behooves his party, not when the American people need political courage and standards in office.

AP is reporting that with 90% of precincts reporting, the leading candidate is Tim Scott, an African-American conservative raised by a single mother. He is also the former chairman of the Charleston County Council.

The Gulf of Mexico continues to gush oil just as a whaling controversy threatens to land Australia and Japan in international court for killing protected species. Meanwhile, another less-publicized but arguably more cataclysmic oceanic disaster continues to worsen.

Ryan Frazier the 7th Congressional District Candidate from Colorado has released the latest web video from the campaign.

If I can sum up some of the best conservative columnists out there, it would have to be David Brooks, David Frum, Ross Douthat, Kathleen Parker and Peggy Noonan.

All of them are great observers of the political scene and rarely go down the angry path that Rush Limbaugh has blazed. I especially like Peggy Noonan because she can be critical of both parties and yet does it with a sense of grace, which you feel even if you don’t agree with her.

Paul makes the same argument that conservatives made in 1964 and thus, makes the same theoretical mistake.

Reason TV sits down with Tony Williams a long-time Philadelphia-area state senator who is running for the Democratic Party nomination in the Keystone State. Williams is also an ardent supporter of school choice and pro-business in a way that few Democrats (or even Republicans, for that matter) seem to be these days.

Rand Paul’s recent comments on the Civil Rights Act of 1964 has given some people a chance to blame Libertarians for The Jim Crow Laws of the 21st Century.
