Nearly two years removed from the election of President Barack Obama, a subtle but remarkable political revolution has been set in motion. A cadre of black political candidates is angling to assume its place in Washington – as registered Republicans.

Susan was a very bright child learning how to read and to write by the time that she was three years old. One of Susan Anthony’s early role-models had been a teacher in the group home school where her father taught her named Mary Perkins. Mary Perkins projected a progressive and independent image of women to Susan which instilled within Susan a belief in woman’s equality. Susan’s mother, Lucy, had also been a student in Daniel’s school before the pair fell-in-love and married by 1817. Lucy was a progressive minded woman who attended women’s rights conventions in the 1850’s although she shunned association with her husband Daniel’s Quaker friends throughout their married lives.

The 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.

The stunning win of Scott Brown in the Massachusetts Senate race Tuesday has sent shock waves throughout the political world. But, as usual with tectonic shifts like this, everyone is totally misreading what happened.

Republicans have every reason to be crowing today and Democrats have every reason to be depressed. I would call what happened Tuesday night the “Browning” of America. The people of Massachusetts spoke with their votes that they are more interested in results, not party labels.

The problems both parties face is not with their bases, but with independent voters. There are more independent voters than there are Democrats or Republicans. In Massachusetts, 51% of the electorate is independent. The “Browning” effect is going to force both parties to come to the political center. That is the lesson from Tuesday vote. Any other spin is simply nonsense.

Democratic form of racism is more insidious and more vile because it hides behind a veil of altruism.

After crossing the country to serve as civil-rights chief for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Winston Wilkinson has announced plans to pursue a more familiar political path in his home state: Running for the Salt Lake County Council.

I believe innocent life should be defended at all costs and the guilty should be punished. I believe this country has the right to defend itself preemptively, and I believe for the most part we make an effort to do so as honorably as possible without compromising our safety, and while that may not always meet the standards of international laws it meets the standard of the Constitution and that’s golden by me. I believe the money we earn is ours, and only what is absolutely needed should go into taxes for social programs that we know work or are incentive based. I believe charity should be a product of free will, and its best when it is a product of free will going where the individual intends it, doing what they designate, and going to those they believe deserve it. This is the core of conservatism. It is good. And I choose to live it.

The New York Times reported that Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine voted against the health care overhaul. Back in fall, she was the only Republican to vote for the bill in committee.

It took less than two hours after Rep. Brian Baird, D-Wash., announced that he’s retiring from Congress for Republican state Rep. Jaime Herrera to tell GOP officials that she is running to succeed him.Herrera is only 31, but already has extensive experience in politics. She worked as a Political Affairs intern in the Bush White House, and as a legislative assistant to U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rogers.

“Republican party officials have held conversations with her before Baird’s retirement, and are excited about her candidacy,” reported the Politico Web site.

As a Black Muslim, I can’t sign on with Al Queda et. al because they’d gladly blow up every house of worship that didn’t subscribe to their philosophy and would take out the Apollo Theater; every historically Black college and university and who knows what else. In their eyes, few of us make the final cut and consequently that’s a team I can’t support. This country is my home and I take attempts to threaten it very seriously.

Hip-hop artists like Will.I.Am. were on the campaign trail with Barrack Obama from the beginning. After his election, Young Jeezy released the voracious “My President is Black”, a bombastic track that aspired to be the new black anthem and seemed to imply a melding between Hip-Hop culture and mainstream society. On the night of the inauguration, Barrack Obama was showered in praises, blessings, and performances dedicated in his honor by powerful hip-hop luminaries like Jay-Z and Kanye West. Can you imagine the Juice Crew dedicating a rendition of “The Symphony” at the inauguration of Jesse Jackson in 88′? More likely it would have been The Four Tops or The Temptations.

It certainly wouldn’t have been Gil Scott Heron.

Sam Meas is a Republican candidate running for the 5th Congressional District of Massachusetts. His personal story of overcoming the odds is one-of-a-kind and is a genuine testament to the American Dream.
