Let's do some good here: Post photos and tributes to your favorite black conservatives!!!

During my time as an opposition political researcher my team and I would joke that Bill Clinton had not lowered the bar on sexual scandals he had put it in a notch on the floor leaving only hypocritical homosexual conduct or bestiality as the only “sexual” scandals worth examining. We well understood the double standard the Democrats and their lapdogs in the media enjoyed and perpetuate to this day. That this will never change stands as a lesson to be drawn from the damage done to Herman Cain’s political aspirations. Whether Mister Cain’s campaign to be the first African American...

Many Americans put so much trust in Rep. Bart Stupak and the other Democrats who stood with him when they promised that they would stand firm--no matter what--to insure there would be NO taxpayer funded abortion. Mr. Stupak even tried to sell us on the ever so precious "executive order." We Americans may be temporarily blinded by the little flashes of light in Washington, DC, but we are not stupid. We all know an executive order is practically worthless. Stupak's vote--a switch from NO to YES is unfortunately proof that he was and is without backbone. At one time, I...

Washington, DC -- With the balance of power in Congress hanging in the air, a leading African American businessman says black voters in the United States should put their historical pro-life values above political party. That means voting for pro-life candidates rather than supporting Democratic candidates across the board. Herman Cain is best known as the former chairman and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza. He is a political commentator and was a candidate for the U.S. Senate. “More and more African Americans are pro-life," Cain said in a statement LifeNews.com obtained. “Our message to African Americans is simple -- it's time...

Citing the need for America to achieve energy independence as well as aid poor and minority households already suffering from rising heating bills, activists with the black leadership network Project 21 are speaking out in favor of oil and natural gas exploration efforts under consideration for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). The U.S. Senate approved legislation on November 9 to allow oil drilling on approximately 2,000 acres - or 0.01 percent - of ANWR's 19.6 million acres. The House of Representatives is expected to consider similar legislation as early as this week. Drilling...

Tuesday, December 7, 2004 The revolution got busted Posted: December 7, 20041:00 a.m. Eastern By Mychal Massie © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com There is a mindset in the black community that is as invidious and specious as the verbiage of those who viciously direct racial epithets toward whites and Koreans. It is the idea that conservative blacks in our nation – especially those in the print and talk-show media – get ahead not based on their talent, experience or meritocracy, but by "trashing" other blacks (read: making public the truth of about them). This is unfortunate not only because it isn't true, but because...

Comparisons Between Civil Rights, Gay Marriage Upset Blacks By Jay Lindsay Associated Press Writer BOSTON (AP) - Conservative blacks are objecting to recent comparisons between the gay marriage and civil rights movements, arguing that sexual orientation is a choice. Links between the two struggles have been made since the state's highest court ruled last week that the Massachusetts constitution guarantees gay couples the right to marry. The court cited landmark laws that struck bans on interracial marriage. But the Rev. Talbert Swan II said the two struggles are not similar because blacks were lynched, denied property rights and declared inhuman....

All right, people! After wrangling, unfulfilled promises, and arm twisting, I would like to introduce to Free Republic a family member of mine. He will go by the name "St. Clair Slim." That name is perfect because he is a lanky, tall, and skinny dude. Cousin or not, I believe this 19 year old kid has the right stuff. So, without any further ado, please welcome St. Clair Slim into the fold. Do not, under any circumstances, take it easy on him. Make him "bring it" just like I do. And like I said, I believe he has the right...
