I was pondering the fact that I educated myself on the background of the Democratic Party and realized that they were no friend to the black community. Most important, my Christian principles are incongruent with the Democratic Party's liberal philosophies which are predominantly in opposition to the teachings of Christ. The hard fact is that we as a black community have stunted our growth because of  self- proclaimed victimhood, reversed racism, refusal to think for ourselves and a pandering Democratic Party that self-servingly keeps us where we are.

     Barrack Obama's ascendency as the first African American to become President of the United States and the blind support from the black community, has polarized all that is wrong with the relationship the Democratic Party has forged with the black community. I wonder what is it that makes most blacks support and follow a democrat even in cases where they barely know the name of the candidate nor anything about his personal ideals or set of beliefs? It seems the brand "Democrat" is quite enough. This is a powerful accomplishment on the part of the democratic party. They have managed to demonize the Republican Party by leftist education and indoctrination. If you want to see this at work just step into a classroom in today's colleges and universities.They have pandered to something within people that drive them to want to be provided for instead of picking yourself up by the boot straps and providing for yourself. Instead of teaching a people that they live in a country where the Founding Fathers assured an atmosphere where men would be on equal footing to work toward and achieve their dreams whatever they may be. Racism and discrimination was not part of the vision. It did rear it's ugly head and gained a footing in this nation that lead to slavery and major oppression of blacks in America.

    Sadly, the Democratic Party seized on an opportunity to gain indefinite support from within a community that was demoralized and devastated as a result of their plight. It all began with revisionist teaching of the Civil Rights Movement. Democrats omitted the fact that it was Republicans that lead the charge for equality. Back in 1854, most blacks were Republicans. The irony is that today, blacks share more values of the Republican Party than those of Democrats such as their belief in traditional marriage and opposition to abortion. So what happened?

   Demorats have run black communities for the last 50 years and turned them into social and economic disasters yet they have blamed Republicans and stated that they refuse to help the poor. As recent as President George W. Bush's time in office, he set forth over $500 Billion which was dispersed over into dozens of poverty related programs. The Democrats have skillfully taught the black community to hate Republicans by preaching hatred with the subtle democratic message that if you support us we will support you in your victimhood, in staying poor and uneducated. If you decide that you want to become productive citizens through your own hard efforts by getting a job, becoming educated and successful, then you can count on the Democratic Party  to demoralize you by calling you haters of your own race, "Uncle Tom" or how about a "House N Word?' I understand this well as I have been called these and more from members of my own black community because I dared to voice that there is a better way for the blacks.

An important lesson I learned about Democrats and liberals are that they are hypocrites. They preach about tolerance and free speech but dare to oppose their ideals and they are the most vile and vicious individuals you ever want to meet. For example look at the treatment that Governor Sarah Palin receives from liberals, especially women. The Feminist Movement promoting equality and sisterhood goes right out the window when these liberal women attack Governor Palin. Their credibility is shot. Just take a look at some of the scathing articles written about Palin, such as a Salon article written by so called feminist Cintra Wilson. Wilson is not in short supply. Her article was so disgusting and filled with expletives.They have tried to destroy this woman of conservative values. The unintended consequence for the Democrats is that their treatment of Palin only emboldens support for her because it demonstrates the sheer fear that liberals have of this woman. Let that be a lesson to all Republicans, if you get this kind of opposition and disdain from liberals, you are on the right track.

    Blacks can be encouraged by the election of Obama, that things have changed for the better with race relations. Even Obama is more than he appears to be. He is just another democratic animal with just more of the same with radical Marxist intentions.. He isn't a true advocate for the black community. He advocates the typical democratic part line, big and bigger government that promises the black community that his government will take care as opposed to encouraging them to rise above the nanny machine known as the US Government.

    Republicans must start to speak on not only issues of the social and economic but must educate blacks on the true history of the Civil Rights Movement. It will be revealed that Democrats are nothing but race baiters that accuses Republicans of being haters of blacks who denied them their civil rights during the 1960's. I read an awesome article to points the way to a civil rights publication that sets the record straight on the whole situation. This newsletter is called the NBRA Civil Rights Newsletter found at www.NBRA.info. This information came from an article "Can Republicans Win the Black Vote" ? By Frances Rice.

     I am trying to figure out a way that I can be a part of educating my fellow black brothers and sisters, waking them from a lengthy slumber, to the hidden agenda that Democrats have had for decades. If we as a people start to love education and begin to use critical thinking about the world we live in, we can start to see ourselves outside of the democratic quagmire many of us are stuck in. The key to any strategic success is learning whom and what the true, real enemy is within the war. In this case, the war is one to be waged that breaks blacks out of the victimhood mentality and to deplore the belief that we need to be taken care of. As a community, we are to thank our God that we live in a country which produced black and non-black men and women willing to fight side by side to provide the opportunity for us to strive and compete for the American Dream. As a result of their efforts, we have, not the right to succeed but the right to strive for success. Our success depends on our efforts and tenacity to pursue until that success is realized, however the individual defines it.If nothing else, Obama is evidence that the playing field is as equal as it has ever been in America. Blacks in America have to stand up and make the Democrats earn our votes instead of taking them for granted.
