A growing political force to be reckoned with: black Republicans

Good points.

I was recounting something similar about the Janice Brown-Rogers nomination on another thread.

Republicans (REPUBLICANS!) have been the best advocates for blacks over the years. The wonderful Mrs. Carroll has it exactly right when she says, "Liberalism is a cancer on inner city America." She should or could easily say "Liberalism is a cancer." (period) and would be equally correct.

The truth is, of course, that liberalism is a cancer on American society. This disease needs to be purged from our society by any means necessary...but we can start by showing black folks the truth about the demoCREEP party.

Are you in the Sarasota county area? I was going to post this article, but you beat me to it. Good on yer!

Being active in the local Republican's party, I got to be friends with Peter and Francis Rice. Francis is one of the founding members of the SaraMana club. They're both great folks, and solid Republican conservatives.

If you are in this area and would like to attend the next Sarasota Country Republican Executive Committee meeting, drop me a FReepmail me and we can exchange contact info. Next year is shaping up to be a very busy (and fun) one!

No I am in northern California, but was so pleased when I found the article online, I just had to post it.

One black woman who went at the invitation of a friend arrived as a Democrat but left as a Republican, giving a thumbs up to her party change.

ALRIGHT!!

I'd like a "Hannity & Colmes" style format - a black liberal and a black conservative.

Works for me and it's a great idea

"...it will become more and more clear that the relationship between black and the democratic party is a slave/master one."

The Democrat Party was always the party of Slavery, and to this day they continue with the propagation of the "plantation mentality."

A growing political force to be reckoned with: black Republicans....

Sophisticated, intellectual, articulate, patriotic, conservative, and Republican. We are indeed fortunate and truly blessed to have this impressive cadre in our ranks. I don't know what we did to deserve it but we better keep on doing it.

I think that freedom4me was alluding to the columninst Deroy Murdock. You can find his regular column on National Review Online.

Thanks for posting this positive news.

We're the most prosperous, happiest nation in the world, but we ain't seen nothing yet. The Democrats have repressed and discouraged a huge pool of talent and ideas in our population for too long. The whole Dimwit idea has been that blacks are simply incapable, and that has NEVER been true, not when they were slaves, not during Jim Crow, not during 'affirmative action,' and not now. America needs the confident contributions of ALL our citizens!

You got that right!!!!

PING!

[ And Larry Elder would be perfect for the "conservative" position! He loves to do TV, too. I'd put him (he is actually a libertarian) against any liberal! ]

Dr. Alan Keyes PhD (political science) is no slouch... if can stay away from the religious angle(s).. hes a devastating debater.. also, Thomas Sowell... also Dinesh D'Souza.. black asian indian but he steals the infantile uncle tom gambit away... jeese, the options are pretty good for intelligent debate if the right guys are chosen... the leftys have nothing but failure to claim as success.

Therefore will comit dis-inforamtion tactics, as usual. The trick is finding people that know these tactics and can ...ugh... skillfully expose them... as the desperation that it is... and a moderator that has a microphone switch would be handy too... when the yelling starts..LOLOLO..

Although I've had the pleasure of watching and learning from some of the most outstanding black conservatives, I have to hand it to Alan.

He fires me up like none other. He's as quick witted as smart. Note that these are not the same thing. You can be smart as a can be, but slow with words or poor in communicating them. Alan fired on all cylinders every single time I listened to him.

He clearly and forcefully made the case for liberty 100% of the time and I in no way ever feared a "theocracy" eminating from him.

He ranks right up there with The Gipper with me. And I can't give any higher praise. Such a class act. Republicans owe a huge debt to that man.

Mind you, I'm a white atheist.

Great news, thanks for the ping!

Perhaps this is just an anomaly in Sarasota? Apparently not. It is national in scope.

Bump!
