"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.”
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.

When Barack Obama first came into the picture, I figured he was worth a look. I did not know much about John McCain, either.
The first thing I heard was that Barack Obama was rated the most liberal Senator in 2007. I knew right away that there was a good chance that he and I would not see eye-to-eye on a lot of things. So in spite of the color of his skin, I had to choose a different horse in this race.
I have found a complete irony in the actions of voters this election season. Now, I am not naive enough to think that there were not bunches of people who wouldn’t vote for Barack Obama because of the pigmentation of his skin, but I am not one of them.
Many years ago, a great hitter named Paul Waner was nearing the end of his long career. He entered a ballgame with 2,999 hits — one hit away from the landmark total of 3,000, which so many hitters want to reach, but which relatively few actually do reach.
Waner hit a ball that the fielder did not handle cleanly but the official scorer called it a hit, making it Waner’s 3,000th. Paul Waner then sent word to the official scorer that he did not want that questionable hit to be the one that put him over the top.
The official scorer reversed himself and called it an error. Later Paul Waner got a clean hit for number 3,000.
What reminded me of this is the great fervor that many seem to feel over the prospect of the first black President of the United States.
No doubt it is only a matter of time before there is a black president, just as it was only a matter of time before Paul Waner got his 3,000th hit. The issue is whether we want to reach that landmark so badly that we are willing to overlook how questionably that landmark is reached.
