As the new Political silly season kicks of in the United States, thankfully they will not have Barack Obama the candidate to kick around this time. So for voters on the right here’s an opportunity to heave a sigh of relief , finally you can “have your country back”. Hopefully this will mean that you can call off your attack dogs from black men. The black guy will be out of there real soon.
Seriously though as is customary each national election cycle voters are faced with a range of options which are not sometimes as evident as the lame-stream corporate media wants you to think.
For instance, On the issue of faith and Religion, the Republican Party have been carrying that message, that they are the God party for a long time.
The trouble with Republican protestations of faith and values is that their actions are inherently divorced from scriptural teachings and everyday reality.
Loving , caring charity, kindness, acceptance, are dirty words for Republicans.
This makes their faith message unacceptable and hypocritical.
In fact many people are turned off from the christian faith primarily because of the messengers.
On the other hand the Democratic party has demonstrably been more in tune with the goals and aspirations of the poor and dispossessed, unfortunately for the party and it’s supporters, the party has become a party of Godless anything-goes Liberals.
So where does that leave people of faith who still believe Government has a legal and moral duty to aid the poor?
There is no such option for voters in America.
Both Political parties are mere pawns of the financial oligarchy.
So as I participated in a discussion on the subject yesterday, I realized just how the Republican party have been able to totally disrespect the poor yet remain viable. They manage this despite that the majority of voters are poorer people.
As was the case last national election cycle, with Mr Piazza Herman Cain’s pretend candidacy for the Republican Party, here again is Ben Carson a retired neurosurgeon tossing his hat into the ring.
The Republican party has demonstrated it has no interest in black causes, neither does it have any desire to attract black voters to the party.
In all fairness to former president Bush he was able to garner about 13% of the black vote, largely because he ran as an evangelical christian.
The party has fought every issue which would uplift blacks from second class citizenship to equal partnership in the American experience.
In state legislators across the country republicans have passed laws which are directly antithetical to the interest of black Americans.
Interestingly , despite the naked aggression of the party toward African-Americans some very notable dark-skinned people have managed to align themselves to the party.
Despite the slave master’s cruelty and murderous aggression to the people they enslaved, many slaves still clamored to serve in the big house.
A FEW QUOTES FROM BEN CARSON
(1) On Obamacare: “You know, Obamacare is really, I think, the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery. And it is, in a way — it is slavery in a way because it is making all of us subservient to the government.”
(2) On Obama’s appearance: When a colleague said the president “looks clean. Shirt’s white. The tie. He looks elegant,” Carson responded: “Like most psychopaths. That’s why they’re successful. That’s the way they look. They all look great.” He later said: “But he knows he’s telling a lie! He’s trying to sell what he thinks is not true! He’s sitting there saying, ‘These Americans are so stupid I can tell them anything.’ ”
(3) On similarities between the Founding Fathers, who were “willing to die for what they believed,” and ISIS: “They’ve [ISIS] got the wrong philosophy, but they’re willing to die for what they believe, while we’re busily giving away every value and every belief for the sake of political correctness.”
(4) On the importance of the GOP winning the Senate in 2014: In August, Carson said he couldn’t be sure “there will even be an election in 2016” if Republicans didn’t go on to win that fall. (His wife also said they were keeping their son’s Australian passport handy if the election didn’t go their way.)
It has been particularly important that Republicans have a couple of token blacks in high visibility positions. Like the few they rent to sit in front rows at their conventions.
It was important to have cover when they viciously assail Barack Obama while hugging on a high profile black in their own party.
That in their minds negates the overt racism they spewed at Obama and blacks in general.
There never was and never will be a shortage of house Negroes willing to do Massa’s bidding.
Black voters are faced with two distinct choices.
(1) Vote for the Republican party which hates and reviles them.
(2) Continue to vote for the soul-less Democratic party which takes them for granted and allows them to believe anything that one wants to do in life is okay , there are no consequence for action.
Carson like other black sell-outs before him are staples on the FOX network the Rights place to disrespect and spread racial hatred.
It should cause consternation to an intelligent black person as to the motives of that network in hiring them as contributors or just to come on to discuss a topic.
Despite Carson’s notoriety as a renowned and brilliant brain surgeon, he has not demonstrated the common-sense to side step that minefield.
On that basis Carson joins Clarence Thomas , Herman Caine and a host of other high-profile blacks who have sacrificed integrity on the altar of being accepted by whites.
