WASHINGTON - The midterm congressional elections are seven months away. Republicans are already promising a strong effort to take back the majority and they're attracting candidates who are already making history.

At least 30 African-Americans in 16 states are running for the U.S Senate and the House of Representatives. It's a surge of black Republican activism that America hasn't seen since the Reconstruction era.

Returning to Slavery?

Charles Lollar is one of the candidates. As a major in the Marine Corps Reserves and a businessman, Lollar is taking on the second most powerful Democrat in the House, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland.

Lollar said that just as he felt drawn to serve his country, he feels called to run against those he says are steering America off track.

I prefer the identity of AMERICAN over race.

Me, too. Damn right.

[fullchroma]

Great, thanks!

Maryland, the right way!

“people stick with racial identity.”

No they don’t.

They talk all about race, but when the chips are down, blacks vote “D”.

They’d pick D old white guy before an R black guy (REAL black, to boot, instead of half-baked).

It’s all about who cries about race - Dems.

You go guys!

Excellent. And all Christian or African names -- only one made-up muslim name in the bunch.

we should develop a Colin-oscopy to root out any RINOS.

LOL!!

[Albion Wilde]

Ironic, when you realize it's occurring during the admin of the first "Black" president.

Maybe he sparked their outrage, and they feel he just doesn't speak for them. Like Cindy Sheehan definitely doesn't speak for most military mothers.

“Just make sure they are CONSERVATIVES first!”

Indeed.

No falling all over ourselves in weak, acquiescing compromise, to ease our wired-in white guilt and show how “tolerant” we are.

Black Conservatives: The New Face of the GOP

Because we've allowed the Leftist media to define us, thus we've marginalized ourselves, and can only allow minorities to speak for us. Pathetic.

Someone once said we should be judged by the content of our character, and not the color of our skin. Someone should tell the MSM.

Excellent. And all Christian or African names -- only one made-up muslim name in the bunch.

Actually, "Jamaal" is Arabic, but not necessarily Muslim. There are people from Arabic speaking countries (or whose ancestors are from there) who aren't Muslims, you know.

I guess I'd have to know more about him. He is of an age to have had American "black power" parents from the 60s who were rejecting Christ, changing their names and naming their kids all sorts of nonsense. We had some Johnsons in our scout troop who went to court to legally change to a made-up muslim surname with several u's, w's and k's in it, saddling their kids with it. Sort of like the hippies of the era who named their kids "Moonbeam" and "River" and all that counterculture stuff.
