"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." ~(1948) Norman Thomas, Six-time Socialist Cadidate for US Presidency
Lloyd Marcus is a black conservative activist, national spokesperson, entertainer and singer/songwriter of the “American Tea Party Anthem”. Marcus announced publicly at a tea party that he will not refer to himself as an African American. “In this current climate of heighten racial tensions, rejecting hyphenating and simply calling myself an American is a step in the right direction towards my goal of uniting all Americans” says Marcus.
Marcus is internationally known for his columns, music recordings and participation performing on political tours including the hugely successful Tea Party Express tour.
Marcus says he is not alone in his opposition to Americans hyphenating. It began in March 2009 at a Tea Party in Orlando Florida. Before performing his original song, “American Tea Party Anthem”, Marcus addressed the audience. “I am NOT an African American. I am Lloyd Marcus…AMERICAN!” To Marcus’ surprise, the audience of 6,000 erupted with applause.
Marcus experienced the same overwhelmingly positive and supportive response from audiences at 34 rallies across America while traveling on the Tea Party Express tour. “Many came to me with tears in their eyes saying, Thank you! I can’t tell you how much what you said means to me.” says Marcus. Americans told Marcus that while they have no problem with people honoring their ethnic heritage, we should all be Americans first. These patriots feel hyphenating divides us.
Marcus recalls a heartwarming incident at a tea party. An Asian gentlemen with his wife and four kids approached Marcus. Responding to Marcus’ earlier comment, in broken English he said, “Me no Asian-American, me AMERICAN!” Then, he and Marcus embraced.
Another reason for ending hyphenating is hopefully it will reinforce the pride, honor and privilege of being an American. Over the years, secular progressives have taught in our schools that American patriotism is arrogant, unsophisticated and insulting to the rest of the world. Meanwhile, it is acceptable for other nations to hold their homeland in the highest regards.
The revelation that most Americans do not like hyphenating confirms to Marcus that Americans have been manipulated by political correctness, accepting things we do not want.
Marcus’ campaign to end hyphenating is not one of condemnation. “I highly respect and celebrate freedom for which many brave have suffered and died. All who wish to continue hyphenating have a right to do so and will not receive judgment from me. I simple will not hyphenate. I believe most of my fellow Americans will follow.”
The post of a Facebook friend of mine, paraphrasing and expanding on a comments from Rush Limbaugh, L. L. Brown IV:
Obama got us out of Iraq, except we’re still there. He closed GitMo, except it’s still open. He declared the war on terror over, except it isn’t. He brought transparency and ended the Cheney era of secrecy, except he didn’t. He returned accountability to government except he did the opposite and appointed more unaccountable czars than ever before. He returned us to fiscal sanity, except he has already run up more debt than every past President COMBINED. He brought the world together and used a multilateral inclusive strategy to get Europe and the global community to support our foreign policy. Except he didn’t and got less from our allies at the NATO and G-8 summits than Bush did. He ended the left-right battle and forged a centrist/ moderate path. Except he has divided the country more than ever and asked citizens to spy on each other and then e-mail him with what they find. Barack Obama lied, hope and change died.
FAIL. EPIC FAIL.
All that blaming Bush, and “failed Republican policies,” yet now that it’s his “baby” he’s seeing things for what they really are. He’s maintaining the “status quo” (a phrase he is so fond of using against the opposition) in some cases and LOSING GROUND in others.
I wonder how his efforts to quit smoking are going?
First she talks down to a Brigadier General of the U.S. Military. With the usual (sometimes undeserved) respectful attitude, the General acquiesces to her demand that he calls her “Senator”:
But then along comes Harry Alford, the President and CEO of the Black Chamber of Commerce of America…He walked in there obviously having already pegged her as an elitist, racist pig. Strap your jaw closed because you are going to see an exchange that will blow your mind!
“That road the Chair went down is God-awful.” Indeed.
Torture? I’m so glad you brought up the subject. Mr. President and Attorney General Holder, Conservative African Americans have been waiting a lifetime to have this conversation. But before you and the sensitive members of the Democratic Party start with the Bush Administration, why don’t we review the torture tactic of the Democratic Party.
The mainstream media really thinks people are stupid. People aren’t stupid, Obama supporters are stupid. jediwill1974 has a very clear understanding of that fact.
Opponents of a proposal to use radical technologies to cool Earth’s air requested a preliminary injunction in federal court against any further discussion of said proposal by President Obama’s new science adviser.
A spokesperson for the administration argued that the project would preserve the status quo on areas beyond the mesosphere while limiting harm to the area’s environment and the nearby communities of aliens.
Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, John Holdren, believes that no significant impacts would come from his proposal to shoot particles into the air in a volcanic fashion. Said Holdren: “It’s got to be looked at,” he said. “We don’t have the luxury of taking any approach off the table.”
Their request reminded the court that we have already littered their community with all kinds of garbage and that this deluge of volcanic ash would simply add insult to injury.
Holdren has 30 days from Monday to respond to the motion, followed by another 15 days for any counter response from the plaintiffs.
In other news, Holdren, a 65-year-old physicist, has been asked by pharmaceutical company Merck to participate in a drug trial for a new dementia drug, as Holdren as been osberved to show signs of the progressive brain disorder.
What are they afraid a bunch of law abiding citizens are going to go ACORN on them? Oh, that’s right, ACORN has all the Federal funds it needs to pay all the exhorbitant fees and insurance premiums for their Socialist Parties, but we freedom-loving citizens have to pay out of our own rip-shorn-over-taxed pockets to make ourselves be heard.
In Oakland, California “citizens” march in “honor” of Lovell Mixon, a convicted felon who murdered 4 police officers and is suspected of raping several women. They got their assembly permit, I suppose, but then again they are a bunch of Socilaists as you will see in this video – note the sign on the building in the background. Oh, and notice that their spokesman, Bakari Olatunji, continuosly refers to the “African community.” Not the “African-American community,” but the “African community.” I wonder if ACORN paid for their permits with our tax dollars?
“Can we open a window? It’s awfully smoky in here…”
I couldn’t make this up…
On the “Financial Stability” topic the three most popular questions were:
GOLD DOOBIE**: ”Would you support the bill currently going through the California legislation to legalize and tax marijuana, boosting the economy and reducing drug cartel related violence?”
Anthony, Warrington, PA
SILVER DOOBIE: “Has the administration given any thought to legalizing marijuana, as a cash crop to fuel the economy? Why not make available, regulate, and tax something that that about 10 million Americans use regularly and is less harmful than tobacco or alcohol.”
Sarah, Atlanta, GA
BRONZE DOOBIE: “Growing up I have noticed many around me always talk about legalization of marijuana, and I always thought, why not put a tax stamp on it. If marijuana was legalized it could really change a lot of things. America had the same problem with Alcohol.”
Peter McNamara, Minneapolis, MN
