Sorry, I don't give a rats ass about the naacp.

Dear Blacks,
The democratic party has ruined your families, your neighborhoods, your work ethic, your schools and your safety.

In short, they have ruined your lives. They have taken away your freedom. They are still the plantation owners and you're still the slaves.

The author is keen to observe these facts on the ground.

A few percent here and a few percent there, add up to Republican victories, and to placing some good conservative blacks in high elected offices.

By 2008 people will reflect on eight years with two blacks serving as Secretary of State of the US.

Whoever runs for President as a Republican can point this out, along with progress for education and home ownership.

The party of substance, not words, is making more and more inroads into the the domain of the Demoncrats. More, and more minorities and other groups traditionally associated with the Demoncrats are becoming more and more disenchanted with the lip serving Ghouls that are the base, and leadership of the the Demoncrats. Freedom, opportunity, liberty are all virtues of free people, and the enlightened are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and it is not the Demoncrats.

Nothing could be better for the GOP or for blacks. Many black leaders still advocate voting for the party that "does the most for the black community" (gives away the most handouts) but this method obviously doesn't work. I hope that more and more black voters are coming to realize this.

Thanks for posting this.

If blacks voted according to their values the Democratic Party would die. That they don't is due to the data they receive from sources they trust reinforced by old media and entertainment stereotypes.

Interesting article. The Republican Party has no where to go but up, when it comes to attracting Black voters. It can't get much worse. The problem is reaching the Black voters when they are so enmired in pop culture, that the message that they can do better is not getting through.

"Republicans have radically redefined the fight for black rights. It's not for affirmative action, and more entitlement and welfare programs. It's pro-business, and homeownership, pro-Social Security privatization, and pro traditional family values. That appeals to young, upwardly mobile blacks."

It will be a wonderful day when enough eyes are opened to the fact that these issues are not "black rights" issues or "white rights" issues, but American citizens' issues. They appeal to anyone who wants a better life and is willing to participate in achieving it.
