The Making of a Black Conservative
American Thinker ^ | 1/24/2014 | Lloyd Marcus

Posted on 01/24/2014 7:21:45 AM PST by rktman

It was the mid-1950s. Around nine years old and the eldest of five, I, along with my parents, was extremely excited as we oohed and ahed over our new home -- new appliances and everything. Our family moved from a leaky-roof, pot-belly-wood-stove row house in the ghetto of east Baltimore to a brand new government high-rise. Apartment 6B was our new home in the 11-story building of all black residents.

Little did I realize that living in the projects and other life experiences would lead to my becoming a black conservative, a Christian, and a Tea Party activist.

Thank the Lord that Lloyd saw the light. But, chucky schmucky has plans for the Tea Party and those evil haters that adhere to it's beliefs. You know like believing in the constitution and America. Good thing for chucky that the msm is totally in the radical left wing demokkkrat extremists pocket. Stand by for heavy rolls to port.

I love Lloyd’s gift for sarcasm at age 9.

Nearly all people who lived through what Lloyd did ( people of any color)would likely come away with thinking that the gov’t helped you and it was anyone who did not think life can be ‘given’ by a gov’t would be the enemy

I admire however Mr Marcus’ brain is wired that he even at age 9 could see the big picture.
I am proud he is a Tea Partier and hope he is proud of ,ost of us as well

It isn’t easy to be known as a Tea party advocate

The MSM has perpetuated its shameless, malicious and irresponsible lies about the Tea Party for entirely TOO long.

For THIS next Presidential election, I hope the right people with the right venue step up to the plate and set the story straight!

Black America is poised to win its third and hopefully final civil war with the political ideology that has enslaved it from the beginning.
