Liberals freely spout their rhetoric as if it were gospel, while conservatives tend to be careful, non confrontational and low key about their beliefs. And still, conservatives are branded by liberals as pushy and intolerant. Posted on 12/19/2010 10:21:36 AM PST by Lloyd Marcus
While minding my own business reading emails, I was included with numerous recipients receiving a holiday greeting email from a dear black relative. The email reminded us that the holidays are a great time to be “thankful for” the “blessing” of having Obama as president. The email oozed with syrupy over-the-top praise of Obama including his, (and I quote), “room-lighting” smile.
Remarkably ill-informed and distorted, the email listed every item of Obama's hostile takeover of our country as blessings to be “thankful for” (http://blackwaterdog.wordpress.com/2010/11/25/im-greatful-2/)
Fighting my gag reflex and not wanting to make waves, I was about to simply delete the absurd propaganda email. However, an earlier phone conversation with my 83 year old dad led me to decide to respond to the liberal bull-crap.
Dad, Dr./Rev. Lloyd Marcus Sr., has always been a great source of wisdom and inspiration for me. As we chatted over the phone, I thought, “Wow, at 83, Dad is as sharp and bright as ever”.
“Jesus said we are the salt of the earth. But, if the salt has lost it's savor, it is useless”, said Dad. Dad also quoted the scripture about letting your light shine rather than hiding it. Liberals freely spout their rhetoric as if it were gospel, while conservatives tend to be careful, non confrontational and low key about their beliefs. And still, conservatives are branded by liberals as pushy and intolerant.
I thought, “My relative chose to include me as a recipient of her “Obama is Just Below Jesus” holiday greeting email”. I know the truth about Obama. Thus, it is my duty to share that truth. America is under attack by an evil enemy within. Patriots must be salt and light; boldly standing up for truth and righteousness.
There are several issues I could have shared to explain why Obama is bad for America. However, since my relative is a Christian, I thought it wise to inform her of Obama's policies which do not align with her Christian values.
I sent my response via, “reply all” for everyone on her list to receive it. Prayerfully, at least one person on her list will see the light. Here is my reply.
“Hi Folks, I DO NOT share my politics with those I know disagree. However, this email praising Obama was sent to me. Thus, my reply. As a Christian, when casting my vote for president, I had the audacity to look beyond Obama's skin color and at the man.
Obama is pro abortion. 50% of black babies are aborted. (Blackgenocide.org)
Obama is pro partial birth abortion. Everything except the baby's head is delivered. Scissors are inserted into the baby's brain to kill it. They justify this hideous murder by claiming it is for the health of the mother. 99.9% of the time, it is because the mother says she is not emotionally ready for a baby. Why is Obama pro abortion? Answer: To guarantee the radical feminist vote.
Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, with Obama's blessing, said within the next ten days he hopes to pass a law permitting gays to serve openly in the military.
Obama canceled the White House National Day of Prayer because, in his own words, “Did not wish to offend anyone”. And yet, he permitted the Muslims to celebrate their day of prayer on Capitol Hill.
Though vilified for being a black who refuses to worship at the feet of Obama simply because he is the first black president, I choose to answer to a higher authority.
Y'all have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Blessed New Year.”
I received a speedy reply to the above email from my Obama loving relative. Amazingly, she and her liberal friends who also replied totally ignored every point I made about Obama. My relative accused me of being offensive and of spouting republican talking points. Her liberal friends were annoyed with me. Their consensus was “how dare I reply disagreeing”.
Typically liberal, they feel free to send me unsolicited liberal crap. But, if I reply with a conservative point of view, I am a jerk. Still, I believe, by faith, that my “salting” made a difference. Someone on my relative's list will be compelled to seek the truth.
My relative's response is typical of blacks emotionally seduced by Obama. Though as a Christian, she would never admit it and may not even realize it, I believe my relative's blind loyalty to Obama is rooted in her suppressed “black racism”.
Encouragingly, there are a growing number of black Christians awakening from their Obama trance; no longer able to justify sacrificing Godly principles for loyalty to skin color. It is critical that white conservatives not be intimidated and black conservatives continue sharing the truth with black America.

I am thankful for my God, my parents, my siblings, my husband, my children, my grandson, my neices and nephews, my very good friends, my health, my good fortune that came from working hard to achieve what we could for our families, the birds, the wildlife, the 4 seasons, the blue skies, the snow, our dog and all those before her, good meals, good drinks, good life lessons and my COUNTRY.
Thankful for Obama????/ Someone is out to lunch!!!
That made my day.
To add to Cub's list - I'm also grateful to those who seek the truth and spread it far and wide.
With liberals, it’s not a matter of logic or rationality. It’s a pack thing. You have to run with the pack, observe all the latest fashions, and never get out of step with what’s politically correct.
Indeed, as my old friend Harold Bloom used to say, liberals are just like lemmings. They never stop to think or reason. They have forgotten how. They just run with the pack.
I’m so glad you had the courage to ‘reply all’.
Even if not one word of the truth sinks in,
YOU have done your part by speaking truth.
You’ve planted the seeds, which is sometimes
all God asks us to do. The Holy Spirit can
water them if and when He chooses.
God bless you. sir.
Have a joyous and blessed Christmas, and may
we all keep that spirit all year.
A FRiend.
I did something similar over Proposition 8, the Marriage Initiative in California in 2008. An email message had been going around among my Knights of Columbus Council, and after a few replies someone jumped in with an anonymous name and email address accusing us all of “hate”. I replied back with a strongly worded response about my experiences as a campaign manager for Prop 22, the first initiative that passed and was thrown out by the courts. This person decided to then reveal her identity and responded back with some very sad and personal details about their son and why he was “gay”. Needless to say she and her husband had been good friends prior to that and we haven’t spoken since.
Like you said Lloyd, scripture calls us to let the light shine. I like to say that God gave me a sharp tongue because sometimes he has use for it.
They always do that. You're not dealing with reason- you're dealing with emotion.
Imagine if you had been critical of Charlie Rangel.
I have had similar experiences. I can always tell when I've made a point because the liberal pauses momentarily and then makes a sharp left turn to an entirely new, and unrelated, subject!
The thing is that a lot of people these days seem to think that the government is the one that gave us our rights. It is GOD that gave us these rights.
Obama is a god like figure to a lot of people, Like Mao, Hitler and Stalin. These people are lost....
Thanks for sharing this.
Far too many in the black community seem convinced that ObaMao’s shortcomings are due to “the rich white people who want to kill him”. They have said just that to me with a straight face and without batting an eye.
Thank You Mr. Marcus for sharing and the wonderful painting.
A very merry blessed Christmas to you and family.
I am thankful the Lord gave me a seat at His table (existence), where I must say grace (worship), pass the gravy boat (share), avoid using the wrong fork (stay out of mischief), and smile (love my fellow man).
I want very much to know His recipe for all the wonderful dishes (knowledge), but it really isn’t essential.
Thank you for sharing that, hopefully you planted a seed that might be harvested at some later date. I had an encounter on facebook recently with someone I now realize is mentally unstable (which explains the rabid support of all things Obama). You handled yours well by the way, much better than I.
Amen.
It's a damned shame that the phrase "black racism" (even in quotation marks) has entered the language, implying as it does that when practiced by blacks, racism is a special form of a behavior that's normally considered un-black.
As for the notion that only people in positions of power (that is, the "oppressors") can be racist, baloney. Racism is not means-tested. Racism is racism, regardless of who engages in it. In fact, racism is identity politics at its worst: the notion that whatever people say or think or do is predicated on the color of their own skin, or on the color of someone else's, to the exclusion of every other consideration.
It's long past time that "black racism" went into the garbage bin, right alongside "[insert adjective here]-American."
