Sen.Edward Brooke: Why Republican?
By HHR | January 25th, 2010 | Category: General, HHR Contributors, Political/Music Interviews & Profiles | 2 commentsThe National Visionary Leadership Project (NVLP) is the premier resource for oral history interviews with African American elders who shaped the 20th century. Recently, they sat down with former Sen. Edward Brooke to discuss his life in the Republican Party.
Co-founded in 2001 by Camille O. Cosby, Ed.D. and Renee Poussaint, The National Visionary Leadership Project (NVLP), a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization, unites generations to create tomorrow’s leaders by recording, preserving, and distributing through various media, the wisdom of extraordinary African American elders – Visionaries – who have shaped American history.
Some of these elders are nationally recognized leaders, who are interviewed on videotape by NVLP’s co-founders and board members. Other Visionary elders, known primarily in their local communities, are selected and interviewed by NVLP college Fellows. All of this invaluable primary source material is accessible worldwide on the NVLP website, and permanently archived at the Library of Congress, allowing students, scholars and the public to gain a whole new understanding of this country’s past, and the lessons to be learned from it.

Every so often a Republican lets slip the true core of todays conservatives. Republican Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, take it away.
In a speech at a town hall meeting in the Upstate S.C., Bauer revisited instructions he said his grandmother had given him when he was a small child. Bauer said his grandmother, who was not highly educated, had told him to stop feeding stray animals.
“You know why?” he asked. “Because they breed. You’re facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a human ample food supply.”
As a son of a stray animal, I will not join the GOP and give cover for people like this to say that they and their policies are not derived from white supremacy.
