It’s a sure sign that Republicans are winning a debate on issues when Democrats, aided by well-meaning civility police pundits and activists, demand that Republicans stop showing their passion and “be civil”.

I am still waiting for those with such a keen sense of civility to demand that Democrats cease their unrelenting and uncivil, even racist, attacks on black Republicans. I won’t hold my breath.

High on the Democrats’ list of those to be denigrated are accomplished black Republicans who do not toe the Democrats’ liberal agenda line. Shamefully, Democrats do not want poor black children to have as role models any black person who does not engage in victim mongering and works hard to become prosperous rather than become dependent on government handouts.

The message that Democrats gives to poor blacks is despicable. If you remain poor, uneducated and vote for Democrats, we will celebrate your victimhood. If you get a good education, get a good job and vote for Republicans, we will denigrate you as “acting white”, a “sellout”, an “Uncle Tom”, a “House Negro”, a “House N-word”, a “Lawn Jockey”, and worse..

Brazenly, on the left-wing Internet website called “The News Blog,” Democrats posted a doctored photograph of then Maryland Lt. Governor Michael Steele (now chairman of the RNC) when he was running for a Senate seat, depicting Steele as a “Simple Sambo” with a blackened minstrel-style face, nappy hair and big, think red lips. The cartoon caption read: “Simple Sambo wants to move to the big house”. This contemptible racist stereotype is the same one Democrats used to demean black men during the era of slavery and segregation.

In addition to other outrageous racist images of Dr. Condoleezza Rice produced by several Democrats, cartoonist Jeff Danziger depicted Dr. Rice as an ignorant, barefoot “mammy”, reminiscent of the stereotyped black woman in the movie “Gone with the Wind” about the slave era black woman who remarked: “I don’t know nothin’ ’bout birthin’ no babies”. This is the type of racist stereotype Democrats used to demean black women during the era of slavery and segregation.

Democrats now love Gen. Colin Powell, but spewed out racist attacks on Powell before he endorsed Obama and embraced the liberal agenda of higher taxes and a bigger government to provide poverty producing handouts to blacks.

A video was shot by WKRN Video Journalist Beau Fleenor at Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tennessee that shows Al Sharpton demeaning Gen. Powell and Dr. Rice, when Sharpton was asked to give his opinions about whether Powell and Rice were “House Negroes”. That video can be found on the Internet.

An article that appeared in a Portland, Oregon paper was one of many exposing how hardly a ripple of protest was made by black Democrats when Harry Belafonte publicly denounced Gen. Powell as a “House Negro”.

With impunity, the late Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy called black judicial nominees, including Judge Janice Rogers Brown, “Neanderthals”. Democrat Senator Harry Reid slurred Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as an incompetent Negro who could not write good English. “Slap at Thomas stinks of racism,” was the headline of the New York Daily News’ December 7, 2004 editorial.

Even black Democrats will be maligned if they dare step off of the Democratic Party’s political plantation. When black Democrat Juan Williams wrote his book entitled “Enough: The Phony Leaders, Dead-end Movements and Culture of Failure That Are Undermining Black America” that exposed the deplorable conditions in black communities caused by the Democrats running those communities, Williams was denounced on national TV by another black Democrat as a “Happy Negro”.

For details about how Democrats during the 1960’s even smeared Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who was a Republican, see the article posted on the NBRA website.

“Civility, Ours and Theirs” is an article that provides more details about how Democrats vilify black Republicans while wagging their finger at Republicans about being civil.

Our political discourse can be elevated to the high standards demanded by the civility police only when Democrats are also required to play by the rules of civility.

Below is a blog from the Tea Party Patriots.org. It’s great and very important for us to understand as we form our strategies for reclaiming the Republican Party in 2010.

Tea Parties across the country are emphatic about being non-partisan. No one is interested in being beholden to a political party; however, the radical left is. The Cloward and Piven strategy to implement fascist change through intentional overloading of the system has been successful every time it’s been tried. The radical left is using the Democrat Party to succeed this time. ACORN is the new front for this old battle plan; their specialty is voter registration/fraud.

ACORN’s voter rights tactics follow the Cloward-Piven Strategy:

1. Register as many Democrat voters as possible, legal or otherwise and help them vote, multiple times if possible.
2. Overwhelm the system with fraudulent registrations using multiple entries of the same name, names of deceased, random names from the phone book, even contrived names.
3. Make the system difficult to police by lobbying for minimal identification standards. 1
Notice that they specifically say “Democrat” voters. ACORN has also been caught destroying Republican registration cards. The radical left has made their stronghold in the Democrat Party and the elite power concentration of the radical left holds the entire party under its boot. The fact of the matter is that freedom loving people do not have time to organize a new political party; if we try we will waste what precious time remains for our constitution building political infrastructure. When we are finally ready to go there will be nothing left to defend.

Because the enemies of freedom are married to the Democratic Party and we don’t have the time to create a conservative party from scratch, we must use our efforts to take back the existing Republican Party. This does not mean that we are forced to take what they offer us; on the contrary, it is us who can change them. We have over 800 tea party groups nationwide connected through teapartypatriots.org alone; that network can be a powerful tool in coordinated grassroots action. By increasing conservative control of the Republican Party at the county, then state level, we can have more of a choice in Republican national choice, strategy and candidates.

The current Republican leadership is what gave us John McCain, Scozzafave in New York and the freakish smear campaign against Sarah Palin. The GOP national site is useless in locating state websites; it has state groups on that site, but no actual links to state websites. In fact, the whole website seems little more than elite RINO’s shaking their cup for your money so they can blow $900,000 on a backstabbing liberal from New York. If they were going to espouse conservative values, they would have already. It’s not like we need their training and expertise, they are proven losers who can’t play offense to save their political lives. Through control of local-to-state-to-national election, we can choose conservative candidates, not republican ones.

Find your Tea Party group and open a dialogue on investing your time and opinions in the local republican leadership. A county chairperson is much easier to unseat than a senator; we have people who are willing and capable of taking their jobs should they not support conservative candidates. Below is a list of state republican websites since the national site couldn’t stop playing its violin for your money long enough to make a list.

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia , Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming

If you live in an area that has an entrenched conservative, consider devoting your time and resources to a neighboring district or state that has a liberal or fascist “representative”. For example, in Washington State, Seattle contains the mass of voters that elect Patty Murray. Eastern Washington is pretty secure with mostly conservative representatives. If those in eastern Washington would assist those groups in Seattle fighting an uphill battle, a vital power base of Senator Patty Murray would be shaken.

Remember, we surround them. We have the numbers we need to take back our country if we can direct our talents, efforts, time and money to the most effective avenue we can make.
