"...an utterly corrupt new religion called environmentalism..."
If the history of this planet's climate over millions of years is any guide, we are about to enter a new ice age.

Maybe It's Time To Move On
By Bob Parks (01/03/06)
I've been thinking long and hard on this one, thus my not writing a serious column for the last couple of weeks.
Over the last few years, the liberal Democrat attacks on conservative blacks have increased in number and ferocity. While I'm not surprised by this or the liberal media silence over the casual use of normally taboo racial slurs directed at blacks, I'm left wondering, "Why do we bother?"
I understand it's risky (if you're a black Democrat) to echo the ideas of conservative blacks that you may agree with. Groupthink is an ugly concept to go against, but as a black conservative (and a human being) I'm left asking myself why I'm going so far out of my way to try and convince those who are too lazy to pick up a book or do an internet search and see just who's been really using, thus keeping the black man and woman down.
How many times does one have to keep referring to Larry Edler's indisputable article that said among other things, that
· After the Civil War, 23 blacks (13 of them ex-slaves) were elected to Congress, all as Republicans.
· That the first black Democrat was not elected to Congress until 1935, from the state of Illinois.
· That the first black congressional Democrat from a Southern state was not elected until 1973.
· That Democrats in 1854 passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act that overturned the Missouri Compromise and allowed for the importation of slaves into the territories.
· Disgusted with the passage of this Act, free-soilers and anti-slavery members of the Whig and Democratic parties founded the Republican Party, not just to stop the spread of slavery, but to eventually abolish it.
· That on July 4, 1867 in Houston, 150 blacks and 20 whites formed not the Black Texas Republican Party, but the Texas Republican Party.
· That Blacks across Southern states also founded the Republican parties in their states.
· In 1850 Democrats passed the Fugitive Slave Law.
· Republican President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation during the Civil War.
· In 1865, the 13th Amendment emancipating the slaves was passed with 100 percent of Republicans voting for it and only 23 percent of Democrats voting for it.
· The 14th Amendment was passed giving the newly emancipated blacks full civil rights and federal guarantee of those rights, superseding any state laws. Every single voting Republican voted for the Amendment, no Democrat voted for it.
· Congress passed the 15th Amendment in 1870, guaranteeing blacks the right to vote. Every single Republican voted for it, with every Democrat voting against it.
· During 1872 congressional investigations, Democrats admitted beginning the Ku Klux Klan as an effort to stop the spread of the Republican Party and to re-establish Democratic control in Southern states. Blacks, who were all Republican at that time, were the primary targets of violence.
· Between 1870 and 1875, the Republican Congress passed many pro-black civil rights laws. But in 1876, Democrats took control of the House, and no further race-based civil rights laws passed until 1957. In 1892, Democrats gained control of the House, the Senate and the White House, and repealed all the Republican-passed civil rights laws. That enabled the Southern Democrats to pass the Jim Crow laws, poll taxes, literacy tests, and so on in their individual states.
· Only 64 percent of Democrats in Congress voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act, while 80 percent of Republicans voted for the Act.
The list goes on....
Despite this material being readily available to anyone who shook off the label of "acting white", actually learned to read, and can find this untaught American history easily, many blacks consider it the easy way out to just blame all their problems on racism.
Ever wonder why conservative blacks are always called sell-outs while liberal blacks like Jesse Jackson get a paycheck for being a racism watchdog? I've always wondered why he goes after any cause that will get him on the television, or he targets corporations that will pay him off personally to make him go away. Jackson ignores the real problems in the black community because should they become cured, he'll lose his livelihood. Some of us on the black right consider him a poverty pimp. Jackson's actions (and liberal politicians) prove our point.
There are liberals who lose their minds when I dare call them part of a racist party with a racist legacy. They can laugh at cowardly minstrels like David Chappelle who hasn't found a Republican he wouldn't call a racist, but when their history is thrown in their faces, they cry like babies.
So, you may ask, what does the title of this column mean: time to move on?
There's that old expression about bringing the horse to water and trying to make it drink. Black conservatives have been spitting into the wind for years now trying to wake up the sleeping black electorate to the sins of those whom consider themselves the "Party of Civil Rights." We have attempted to point our brethren in the right direction (pardon the pun) and have been called sambos, Uncle Toms, lapdogs, and those slurs have yet to be repudiated by those in the mainstream media or academia.
Maybe we should consider some a lost cause and just move on. There are some who enjoy their victim status and use it as a way of blaming others for their own laziness. There are many black folk out there who have used the education system to their benefit and are now self-reliant. They don't depend on a check from the government every month, and are the true leaders in their communities.
There are those who live by blaming whites for their every misfortune, while they now have to live with the ramifications of their blowing off school earlier in life. They claim Affirmative Action will cure those ramifications. All AA does is make every black person's qualifications suspect upon their first day at a new job, and discriminate against persons who may be more qualified purely because of the color of their skin. Liberal blacks call that payback. Just who is perpetuating discrimination and racism in America?
Those who believe rap music and sports are the only way out of a crime-ridden neighborhood can choose to live in that fool's paradise while condemning others who choose to study. The entertainment industry can celebrate so-called adversity, but many of our "hard-core" street personalities actually came from middle class backgrounds and made sound business decisions to get from Point A to Point B.
Those who wish to elevate themselves must make a choice. Personal responsibility is not a catch-phrase. It is a way of life that gives someone real control over their lives. Going to work isn't selling out. Not impregnating or being impregnated before age 14 isn't selling out. Teaching your kids that school and not the streets is the path to success isn't selling out.
Selling out is taking a dump on the very opportunities this country has to offer and making something out of your dream. Sitting on your ass and blaming whites for your failings and demanding a monetary payoff is a waste of time because it will never happen. There are too many successful blacks in this nation to disprove the widely held notion that racism is keeping us all down.
So I will move on. I'm personally tired of repeating the same study plans in American History that liberals in education have omitted purposefully. If you want the truth, look it up yourselves. With all that's readily available, if you choose to stay a Democrat, I content you are the sellout. You'd much rather hang with those who use blacks for political gain while offering nothing but empty promises in return and have done so for decades. If you think I'm wrong, go look up who took back that whole 40 acres and a mule thing. It wasn't a Republican.
For those of you who decide to take control of your lives, there is a home for you. I know it's been hard to stay in the closet because almost all around you would shun you or worse. But that closet is filling up and soon there will be no place for independent blacks to go but out and up.
They will hire and inspire the educated. They will create. They will live the American Dream as it was designed, and will leave those who wish to be left behind in the hands of those who only use blacks for their profit.
Remember what they used to call people who were used for profit...? One hint: it wasn't a "Republican."

The United States Is Being Overthrown By Our Politicians - "A silent but all-reaching coup is taking place within the
United States. This coup is not being directed by bomb-laden Muslim terrorists, nor will it ever be covered by the mainstream media.
The seditious act is being carried out by our very own elected officials, with President Bush leading the insurrection."
"The FDA has conveniently used the excuse of looking out for consumer safety to increase their perverse regulatory power,
undermine free speech, disrupt commerce, and generally get in the way of helping people improve their health. The "half-truth" of
the safety issue is used as a ploy to reduce the rights of Americans, one freedom at a time. Once again, the FDA is seeking more
police power to intimidate supplement companies. This is one step in an overall FDA master plan to eliminate therapeutic nutritional
supplements from the free market. Those who lose are the American public." The FDA - A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
