Many black conservatives feel the assault on Cain is really a proxy battle for an ideological war for who can best articulate a case for the black community’s interests.

Fannie Lou Hamer (pronounced hay-mer) was one of the unsung pillars of the civil rights movement in the U.S.

She was a phenomenal woman—a woman of great determination and great purpose. She was not one to hold back her feelings, especially when fighting for equality.

In 1964 she was elected Vice-Chair of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP). Their stated purpose was to challenge Mississippi’s all-white delegation to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) which was held in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Liberals have turned their attention to Wall Street with hopes of starting a revolution that will destroy our financial system. Based on their interviews and propaganda, I am convinced that they have no clue why they are there much less what to do if they succeed. They readily admit that they are unable to articulate a realistic plan of action to implement their “demands.”

They are simply using “revolution is not reform” as an excuse for chaos. Trying to reason with these committed leftists is an exercise in futility. However, they have presented conservatives with a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

These self-described anarchists have provided us with a clear contrast of our opposing political philosophies. These protesters range from spoiled trust fund baby to vagrants fueled by greed and a desire to use the heavy-hand of government, sustained civil disobedience and intimidation to steal from those who have earned.

On Saturday March 24th 2012 join a multi-racial coalition of Urban Conservatives who will combine policy & social initiatives to reverse this liberal destruction, and lead our urban communities to a brighter future.

Life is often filled with conundrums and contradictions. Life is filled nevertheless, even more so, with the unexpected. When President George W. Bush won election in 2000, he ran on a campaign of change and reform. He rallied against the wastefulness of big government spending and scolded the previous administration’s “nation building” efforts.

The year was 1990 and “change” had come to the southern state of Virginia , a State steeped in a history of racial division. It had come in the form of a young, charismatic, black lawyer named Lawrence Douglas Wilder.

It’s no secret that I am no fan of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) because they are traitors to the black community. Nonetheless, I did start to feel optimistic thinking their souls are not completely owned by white liberals.

I got this idea when I heard Maxine Waters ask for permission to critique President Obama. Its absurd to think that a member of Congress should ask for permission to critique a president especially since she went after President Bush with reckless abandon.

All things considered, this was a step in the right direction. With black unemployment at nearly 16% nationwide and 50% in many cities, I asked myself is this the moment that the Congressional Black Caucus finally put the needs of the American people ahead of the liberal agenda?

Rep. Allen West (R-Florida) is considering a run for the U.S. Senate in 2012. If he runs for Senate, he would join a GOP field that already has several candidates.

On September 19th, Republicans for Black Empowerment will hold its fourth annual gathering of GOP activists. The event, which occurs every year, acts as a conservative alternative to the more liberal leaning Congressional Black Caucus event, which is held the same day. This year’s special guest will include Congressman Allen West.

Dying at such a young age is always very sad and tragic. And although, Winehouse’s death – which could have been caused by an overdose – was a great shock it unfortunately was not a surprise. Her short life although troubled was full and rich – with her music she reached and touched millions all over the world.

Her vivid lyrics and powerful unique voice will stay the test of time but her true legacy is her troubled soul and addictive self destructive personality. It will be a waste to talk about one without the other – because Amy’s story is a reminder to all that drugs and alcohol are lethal weapons, their excessive use and dependency should be treated seriously.

A few years ago Jade Goody, a young woman, whose life was cut short by cervical cancer – Jade’s illness and later death have raised much needed awareness of the disease and its silent wickedness, consequently saving many lives young and old. I hope Amy Winehouse’s death also serves as a warning and saves many lives from destruction.

House Speaker John Boehner and his Republican and Tea Party colleagues are right to boldly stand up to Obama and demand a debt ceiling agreement not include a tax assault on one class of Americans. To borrow from Obama: “That’s not right. It’s not fair not.”

Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman argued for the modern concept of vouchers in the 1950s, stating that competition would improve schools and cost efficiency. In Maine, the geographic layout is such that, building public schools was not feasible. Instead they relied on the established parochial schools. Friedmans’s argument is the backbone of the conservative movement in favor of offering education choice to urban youth.

Looking at the data from the New Jersey Dept of Education we see Urban enrollment diminishing as children get older; when, however you look at suburban school district’s enrollment, it stays the same throughout. This is ample evidence that student retention is those areas are subpar. Some suburban areas actually enroll more students in 12th grade than they did in 1st and 2nd grade.

Wonder why Urban public schools don’t do so well? Well I do. I asked a few teachers, some from charter schools, others from public schools. Teacher pay was one of the biggest complaints. Individuals switched from public to charter schools for better pay, and because charter schools had more responsive administration, responsive in terms of the needs of the pupils.

The “angry black man” is one of America’s most enduring racial and gender stereotypes. White fear of the “aggressive” black man has been an undercurrent in our nation’s politics, and the controversy surrounding Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) is no different.

Why does it always seem, okay for liberals to stand up for their principles, but anyone who disagrees with them is on the fringe? We are all entitled to free speech in this country whether it’s agreeable, insensitive or unapologetic.

Basically, the Tea Party is a fantastic, principled expression of ordinary Americans’ frustration with our broken politics. And along the way they demonstrate with depressing clarity the kind of laziness that got us here in the first place. In the face of complex problems they spout slogans. They propose to fix our collective roof by burning the house down while we’re all left inside. There’s no problem so complex that it can’t be solved with a can of gasoline and some oily rags.

What the Tea Party has demonstrated more than anything is how easily real concerns about concrete matters can in the this country be redirected and neutralized. Facing an angry mob? Dangle some fear of foreigners and their wicked religions, mix in some resentment of mooching minorities, and you can make them do whatever you want.

Perhaps the Tea Party will prove to be a good start, an initial step in the right direction. Maybe it will eventually spur us to care more about the details and look for serious solutions to our problems. Good things can and do happen. Or maybe the movement will just cannibalize itself in an escalating spiral of extremism and paranoia. Maybe they’ll find the “real” birth certificate. We’ll see.
