A Timely Quote from Samuel Adams

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!”

-- Samuel Adams

Every Black Jimmy Carter Has a Silver Lining

Barack Obama will probably turn out to be the Black Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter was elected after a very controversial administration as a liberal, family values, intellectual Democrat. Does this sound familiar? Of course, people soon realized how poorly suited Carter was for the job, but America was stuck with him for four years.

This four-year period was a time of tremendous inflation, rampant liberalism, foreign policy humiliations, and domestic despair. This period of suffering and malaise forced conservative Democrats to look outside of their party for relief. In 1980, Reagan soundly defeated Carter, ushered in one of the greatest times in American history, and created the gold standard of conservatism.

Since Obama is so much like Carter, one must wonder if Obama's administration will also be a tremendous failure. If it is, maybe Obama will pave the way for another great conservative. Right now, the only potential shinning candidate on a hill is Sarah Palin. If she doesn't rise to the occasion, maybe Jeb Bush can grow a beard, change his name to Jeb Shrubbery, and try to make it through the election before people figure out he has some famous relatives. Beyond that, it will have to be Joe the Plumber, Ted Nugent, or some sort of reanimated Thomas Jefferson zombie. (Great conservatives are hard to come by these days.)

The point is we had to suffer through four years of Carter to get eight years of Reagan and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Maybe Obama will wake up America (a nation which has been asleep since the fall of Baghdad), and we will get to see another great eight years and the fall of the Chinese Communist government and the Soviet Union II, which will probably be established by Vladimir Putin just after Obama takes the oath of office in January.

"Mr. Putin, tear down that wall again."

Will Poverty Pimp for Food

With the election of a Black President, the poverty pimps like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are now out of business. You may have noticed Jesse Jackson was not on stage with Obama during his Presidential acceptance speech last night. He was out with the masses with tears in his eyes. We do not know if Jackson was crying because he was happy or sad.

Regardless, the era of Liberal Black victimhood is over. From now on, no one can ever seriously claim that Black people do not have a chance for success in America. Maybe the bright side of this is that Liberal Whites will see the election of a Black President as a purging of guilt. Perhaps, racist Black leaders like Jackson and Sharpton will lose their status and voices. If people do not feel guilty anymore, maybe all of the ridiculous racial garbage in American culture will go out of style or at least be recognized as the joke it is.

The Day America Embraced Socialism

On Tuesday, November 04, 2008, America officially embraced Socialism. During much of 2008 government has made sharp intrusions into the private lives of Americans. On Election Day, America had the opportunity to reject or accept this trend. Collectively, America has chosen to accept the march toward Socialism by electing candidates who openly espouse these principles. Most Notably, Barack Obama is a man who is extremely liberal and has been unabashedly Socialist throughout his political career. Now that the voters of America have given Barack Obama their strong support in the form of decisive election victory, America has consciously chosen to embrace Socialism. For all intents and purposes, America is now a Socialist nation. With regards to the American spirit of freedom, this is one of the darkest days in the history of the country. We are the generation of Americans who witnessed liberty die to the sound of thunderous applause.

America’s Second Black President

Congratulations to America for electing its second Black President. This honor was first earned by President Bill Clinton, who was elected in 1992. The honorable title was later awarded to President Clinton by, prominent Black author, Toni Morrison in the October 1998 issue of The New Yorker. For the last ten years, the phrase has been repeated over and over and has become one of Bill Clinton’s greatest accomplishments and legacies. Not to be outdone, Barack Obama has now followed in the footsteps of the great Black pioneer from Arkansas. Congratulations, Barack Obama, for becoming America’s second Black President. This is another great moment in history.
