The Organizational Structure of the Republican Party

“Our government rests in public opinion. Whoever can change public opinion, can change the government, practically just so much.” -- ABRAHAM LINCOLN

As much as any President in our great nation’s history, President Lincoln understood the power of the individual within a free country. Today, as we Republicans look to recharge and, in part, rebuild our party, we must heed Lincoln’s words. Local control is a key ingredient of the GOP platform, and as such the rejuvenation of the Republican Party must begin on the local level, spreading statewide, before once again taking hold nationally.

To achieve this, individuals need a mechanism to come together and to work together. We need a structure. Be assured, a viable and growing structure for Republicans exists right here in Los Angeles.

Breaking the party down from national to local levels, we focus on four organizations:

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE (aka RNC; WWW.RNC.ORG) This is the national arm of the GOP, charged with developing and adopting the party platform, overseeing the national convention and fundraising, among other duties.
CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN PARTY (AKA CRP; WWW.CAGOP.ORG) The CRP is one of 50 subsidiaries of the RNC. The CRP is charged with many of the same duties as the RNC, but on a state-wide level.
REPUBLICAN PARTY OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY (aka RPLAC; WWW.LAGOP.ORG) Each state is divided into counties, and each county has its own local County Republican Party. California has 58 counties, the largest of which (both by square mileage and population) is Los Angeles County. As stated on its website, RPLAC’s main objectives are to: “increase voter registration, identify and support appealing candidates for office [and] to increase voter turnout at the polls” for Republicans within Los Angeles County.
THE 47th ASSEMBLY DISTRICT CENTRAL COMMITTEE (aka 47th AD; 47THDISTRICT.COM) Within L.A. County there are 26 Assembly Districts, each with a Republican Central Committee assigned to the district. These are comprised of 10 members, each serving two-year terms. Republicans in each District elect seven of these members. The other three are called “ex-officio” members, Republicans who the Party’s nomination for State Assembly, State Senator, and U.S. Congressional Representative for the corresponding district. I am proudly serving my first term on the 47th A.D. Central Committee, acting as Vice-Chair under our Chairman Jeffers Dodge.

Like the national government, the California State government is basically divided into three branches of government: the executive branch, headed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger; the legislative branch, which includes the State Assembly, with 80 members representing 80 districts, and the State Senate, comprised of 40 Senators representing 40 Senate Districts; and lastly the judicial branch, overseen by the State Supreme Court. For example, Jeffers Dodge lives in the state of California, the city of Culver City, putting him in the 26th Senatorial District and the 47th Assembly District in the County of Los Angeles. In regards to national elections, he also lives in the 33rd Congressional District.

Putting all of that together, California is divided into 58 Counties, 40 State Senatorial Districts, 80 Assembly Districts and 52 Congressional Districts (with our two national Senators both elected state-wide). Each district is an area that represents a certain number of citizens.

Without question Los Angeles County is not an easy place to be a Republican, much less to win public office, when looking purely at voter registration statistics. Yet, many in our city – Republicans, Democrats and Independents – reject increasing our already high taxes. Many oppose outrageous and unnecessary government spending. Many parents are tired of failing public schools bogged down by mandates from Sacramento. Many stand strong for law and order. Many stand for individual liberties, bolstered by personal responsibility. All these are key tenets of our party’s platform.

As part of the current state budget crisis, Democratic leaders of the State Assembly and State Senate (charged with creating state laws and spending bills) were looking for ways to increase revenue. Most of us know this is code for increasing taxes. However, California’s by-laws state that all tax increases must be passed by a two-thirds vote, the same number of votes needed to pass a state budget. Currently, Republicans hold more than a third of those votes, but not by much. It is Republican State Assembly members’ and Senators’ goals to cut wasteful state spending and ease unnecessary restrictions that have driven businesses out of California. It is vital that we do not lose these seats, and rather increase our statewide numbers. This is where the work of the Local Central Committees becomes pivotal.

Many of you out there may have never heard of Central Committees. You may have never met a member of your district’s Committee. That must change, and we in the 47th C.C. pledge to make that change. We cannot increase voter turnout without increasing voter contact. We cannot support candidates before supporting constituents. It is our goal to be more active throughout our community, providing Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, like-minded Democrats, and all who believe in our principles and values with the foundation and structure to get things done.

2008 was a difficult year for the Republican Party – nationally and locally. The time to complain and cower is over. The time to work has come. The structure is in place, and now all we need is each other.

LARA – Congratulates President-elect Obama. Now I have a few questions…
Jeffers M. Dodge

Before I start I would like to reflect on what an historical moment November 4th was… one that will live forever. The first American President from African descent fired the imagination and inspiration of millions all over the world.

Our country is now in his hands to either govern in the center by using free market capitalism and continue this great experiment in Republican Government or try and prove Marx and Engle right and in doing so, like all other experiments in socialism before him, destroy the best economic system free men have ever developed?

Will our enemies such as the Islamic fundamentalist and the extreme Nationalist and Marxist Revolutionaries lay down their arms and join our cause… or will they challenge Barack Hussein Obama to submit to Allah. Obama and his cronies are Islamic Socialists until proven otherwise. How can I accuse him of this? Barrack Hussein Obama admits it when he uttered the words “Spread the Wealth.”

Another question to ask about the chosen one: Do we give him a chance to succeed or do we stick it to him right out of the Box?

Personally, I think we wait until his second day in office… then we ask him the following questions;

Was his election a mandate on banning off shore drilling?
Was his election a mandate on bankrupting the coal industry?
Was his election a mandate on sharing my wealth?
In these times of economic stress who should suffer; the government, in the form of spending cuts, or the people by raising taxes?

In addition I would like a discussion about the institutions and values that propelled him to victory, i.e., the media, economy, freedom of choice and equality.

1. Do you think he would have won the election if it were not for the complete capitulation of the media? (other than Fox News) In other words did the Main Stream Media lose their Left Wing ideological credibility by not giving both sides the same objective leg tingling coverage? Or did the MSM become cheerleaders to a person that can finally win a landslide victory against the mighty Republican political machine?
2. Do you think Barack Obama would have won the election if it were not for the burst of the real-estate bubble? (What Political Parties economic principles were primarily responsible for the collapse?)
3. Do you think that when the economy is doing great under a Republican Administration the MSM does its best to talk it down -- to try and diminish it to give a leg-up for their anti-freemarket socialist ideology? For instance according to the MSM we have been in a recession for two years, where in fact, technically we are not in a recession and we have just had the greatest period of wealth creation in the history of the planet. Our GDP grew from $9 trillion at the end of the year 2000 to $14 trillion by the end of 2008. All thanks to George W. Bush and his super bad cronies.

Equality and Choice are big Left Wing values always swaying in the righteous wind.
Government cannot force equalization of talent, feelings, education and therefore wealth. By doing so makes the poor lazy and the successful disinclined. So what inspires innovation under a socialist system? The simple answer is idealism. This is the energy of youth and is shaped and focused by educational institutions. Graduates from Left Wing Indoctrination Universities come out ready to make a killing and are picked up and exploited by big business. This idealism is a great motivator until competition kicks in and the only reward you get for your brilliance is the expectation of brilliance and disappointment for anything less and to watch those younger and prettier get the only meaningful compensation that you once had; attention from their elder elitist party member bosses with their corner offices and apartments.

In a Free-Market system the cream of the crop rises to the top and continues the success of the business -- expanding markets, creating jobs and producing the ultimate American value; success. In a socialist system competition and choice is denied and oppressed which stymies innovation and expansion. This is the legacy of misdirected and dishonorable greed disguised as altruism. Achieving great personal success for yourself first then your family and your community is the greatest form of altruism. Charity starts at home!

It is time for Republicans to be reflective and to clean house.

The ex RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman recognized this after the 2006 debacle and stepped down. Yet the status quo was somehow maintained. This would have never happened in a corporate structure. There is no democracy in a Political Party structure; it is and should be structured like a business but when failure occurs as in the case of 2006 and 2008 either the Party should dissolve itself or management should be fired.

That means those that failed in 2006 and did not step aside, dishonored the Republican Party and the values and principles it stands on.

I personally witnessed the idealized youth taking key roles in the RNC making choice not for the cause but primarily for their resumes. For instance regional headquarter leaders choosing not to promote phone banking at home because the headquarters where they lead are competing with each other to see how many phone calls come from their staff. In other words it was their personal objectives not what was best for the cause. They never realized the pent up energy of all the Republicans that wanted so desperately to help win this election but were confined to schedules and responsibilities of work, faith and families.

But it is also important to understand that everything happens in generational cycles. Our economy, our culture and our psychology. Blatant critique and/or statements of facts can be like a sward cutting through the thick fabric of denial. To the child it can sound punishing, to an adult it can sound condescending and to a teacher it is downright emasculating… but sometimes it needs to be stated not diplomatically but directly.

In the end, it will be the owners and editors of the MSM that will pick our leaders, shape our opinion and rule the world.

Was this election a mandate on banning off shore drilling?
Was this election a mandate on bankrupting the coal industry?
Was this election a mandate on shearing my wealth?
In the times of economic stress who should suffer the government in the form of cutting spending or the people by raising taxes.

I would be remiss if I did not mention the complete and utter incompetence of the RNC leadership starting with the kowtowing and capitulation to the Main Stream Media (MSM). A case in point; who at the RNC allowed CNN and YouTube staffers to choose the questions for the Republican Primary Debates. That is like letting your opponent call your plays in a football game. It was a debate among Republican candidates discussing issues that matter to Republicans, not a bunch of Marxist yahoos sitting around a desk picking questions that made a mockery out o the Republican Party… Unbelievable.

Illegal Immigration

Why does it seem that our government is doing everything it can to keep our southern border open? Or to put it another way, doing very little to aggressively secure our borders? To me it is beyond logic.

Maybe to understand this we need to understand more about modern American politics.

Many politicians, whose campaigns live or die on financial contributions made by special interest are not altruistic, they scratch your back as long as you scratch theirs. I should know. When I carried the flag for the Republicans in 2006 for the 47th Assembly District, I was told with no uncertain terms that I would vote whichever way they told me to vote or they would fund my democratic opponent’s campaign. Boy did that open my eyes.

When I was introduced to the long line of lobbyist and special interest groups they all had the same question: What are my three main issues? And knowing exactly what each of them (restaurant, Indian casinos, agriculture and banking to name a few) wanted to hear I instead told them what my constituents wanted me to tell them; illegal immigration, the economy and education, in that order. I told them that these three issues could be greatly improved by one over arching solution. SECURING THE BORDER.

Chris Simcox, a co-founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, has emerged as one of the preeminent spokespersons against illegal immigration. Put aside the negative consequences to our economy, it is the human toll that drives this man. Drug lords are smuggling their product over the border on the backs of foreign nationals. Women and children are being trafficked across the border as sex slaves. Humans are stuffed into vans and driven for days without stopping for water or bathroom breaks in the heat of summer… many don’t make it. Lax border security and local laws, like SpecialOrder40, attract the Mexican Mafia that fill Los Angeles streets with violent gang members that outnumber our police force ten to one. What is it about our politicians that make them behave they way they do? Is it money or are they just worried about their own parcel of power? I think its both.

Chris Simcox knows first hand, for the last four years he has witnessed all of this in his home state of Arizona. He is a patriot and is willing to sacrifice himself for our country to do what is right. We all have got to realize that this is a non-partisan failure with politicians on both sides of the aisle to blame, (although the left has more at stake supporting an open border policy).

The only way to make this problem go away is to secure the border, reform our antiquated immigration policies and enforce the laws. Democrats want “cheap” votes and more dependents on the doll and big business want “cheap” labor to improve their profit margins. But “cheap” isn’t cheap it costs the American taxpayer dearly, it raise the cost of all insurance especially healthcare, it clutters up our justice system and it adds a ton of cars on our freeways adding to the CO2 output and frustration to bonafide citizens. Couple all this with the human toll and what do you get? Either an inefficient, confused or corrupt government. Chris Simcox has been the on the vanguard in the fight to preserve the sanctity of the land which the U.S. Constitution has jurisdiction.

That is why we need to support his program, which has had hundreds of volunteers on border watch for 289 consecutive days. They have spotted 30,962 Illegal aliens breaking our laws, they have rescued 329 illegal aliens that were in some sort of distress, and they have been responsible for 13,769 intruder apprehensions from 26 countries confirmed by Border Patrol.

If you can’t make it to the meeting then please click here to find out how you can help Chris keep up the pressure on our politicians to do the RIGHT THING.

So let us grab this opportunity and start pushing our American values of God, Country, Family, Free Markets, and a strong Military through the media and onto the desks of our politicians. This is what they are waiting for – every great idea has come from the people not the politicians -- we are what makes our country great not government.

Join us the Wednesday evening to discus Illegal Immigration with Chris Simcox.

Racism And What We Can Do About It

What are post-racial principles?
Talking Points for Republicans…

Well let’s look at some facts and then when you come to the meeting we can discuss you’re your views on this matter. If you can’t make it to the conference send me an email with your thoughts.

The Republican Party was founded by abolitions (the Republicans) who fought the Southerners (the Democrats) for freedom and liberty for everybody. Why aren’t we answering back in the strongest terms possible when Black Leaders talk about segregation?

Martin Luther King’s famous line about not judging people by their color and gender but by their character ability and talent is pure conservative thought. Why don’t we make it a permanent part of our Platform?

The Republican Party has been post-racial since winning the Civil War – Why have we allowed the Democrats to divide America into groups?

In terms of African American community relations; the following excerpts are from an article written by Pat Buchanan (March 21, 2008) and following that is David Horowitz’s (January 03, 2001) article, “Ten Reasons Why Reparations for Blacks is a Bad Idea for Blacks - and Racist Too.”

America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known. (It could have been 180 million if it wasn’t for Roe vs Wade)

Second, no government anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the '60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.

Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants.

Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.

Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America?

Is it really white America's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent?

Is it really white America's fault the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

Is it really white America's fault that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is it really white America's fault that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse or that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

Ten Reasons Why Reparations for Blacks is a Bad Idea for Blacks
and Racist Too
By David Horowitz

One

There Is No Single Group Clearly Responsible For The Crime Of Slavery

Black Africans and Arabs were responsible for enslaving the ancestors of African-Americans. There were 3,000 black slave-owners in the ante-bellum United States. Are reparations to be paid by their descendants too?

Two

There Is No One Group That Benefited Exclusively From Its Fruits

The claim for reparations is premised on the false assumption that only whites have benefited from slavery. If slave labor created wealth for Americans, then obviously it has created wealth for black Americans as well, including the descendants of slaves. The GNP of black America is so large that it makes the African-American community the 10th most prosperous "nation" in the world. American blacks on average enjoy per capita incomes in the range of twenty to fifty times that of blacks living in any of the African nations from which they were kidnapped.

Three

Only A Tiny Minority Of White Americans Ever Owned Slaves, And Others Gave Their Lives To Free Them

Only a tiny minority of Americans ever owned slaves. This is true even for those who lived in the ante-bellum South where only one white in five was a slaveholder. Why should their descendants owe a debt? What about the descendants of the 350,000 Union soldiers who died to free the slaves? They gave their lives. What possible moral principle would ask them to pay (through their descendants) again?

Four

America Today Is A Multi-Ethnic Nation and Most Americans Have No Connection (Direct Or Indirect) To Slavery

The two great waves of American immigration occurred after 1880 and then after 1960. What rationale would require Vietnamese boat people, Russian refuseniks, Iranian refugees, and Armenian victims of the Turkish persecution, Jews, Mexicans, Greeks, or Polish, Hungarian, Cambodian and Korean victims of Communism, to pay reparations to American blacks?

Five

The Historical Precedents Used To Justify The Reparations Claim Do Not Apply, And The Claim Itself Is Based On Race Not Injury

The historical precedents generally invoked to justify the reparations claim are payments to Jewish survivors of the Holocaust, Japanese-Americans and African- American victims of racial experiments in Tuskegee, or racial outrages in Rosewood and Oklahoma City. But in each case, the recipients of reparations were the direct victims of the injustice or their immediate families. This would be the only case of reparations to people who were not immediately affected and whose sole qualification to receive reparations would be racial. As has already been pointed out, during the slavery era, many blacks were free men or slave-owners themselves, yet the reparations claimants make no distinction between the roles blacks actually played in the injustice itself. Randall Robinson's book on reparations, The Debt, which is the manifesto of the reparations movement is pointedly sub-titled "What America Owes To Blacks." If this is not racism, what is?

Six

The Reparations Argument Is Based On The Unfounded Claim That All African-American Descendants of Slaves Suffer From The Economic Consequences Of Slavery And Discrimination

No evidence-based attempt has been made to prove that living individuals have been adversely affected by a slave system that was ended over 150 years ago. But there is plenty of evidence the hardships that occurred were hardships that individuals could and did overcome. The black middle-class in America is a prosperous community that is now larger in absolute terms than the black underclass. Does its existence not suggest that economic adversity is the result of failures of individual character rather than the lingering after-effects of racial discrimination and a slave system that ceased to exist well over a century ago? West Indian blacks in America are also descended from slaves but their average incomes are equivalent to the average incomes of whites ( and nearly 25% higher than the average incomes of American born blacks). How is it that slavery adversely affected one large group of descendants but not the other? How can government be expected to decide an issue that is so subjective - and yet so critical - to the case?

Seven

The Reparations Claim Is One More Attempt To Turn African-Americans Into Victims. It Sends A Damaging Message To The African-American Community.

The renewed sense of grievance -- which is what the claim for reparations will inevitably create -- is neither a constructive nor a helpful message for black leaders to be sending to their communities and to others. To focus the social passions of African-Americans on what some Americans may have done to their ancestors fifty or a hundred and fifty years ago is to burden them with a crippling sense of victim-hood. How are the millions of refugees from tyranny and genocide who are now living in America going to receive these claims, moreover, except as demands for special treatment, an extravagant new handout that is only necessary because some blacks can't seem to locate the ladder of opportunity within reach of others -- many less privileged than themselves?

Eight

Reparations To African Americans Have Already Been Paid

Since the passage of the Civil Rights Acts and the advent of the Great Society in 1965, trillions of dollars in transfer payments have been made to African-Americans in the form of welfare benefits and racial preferences (in contracts, job placements and educational admissions) - all under the rationale of redressing historic racial grievances. It is said that reparations are necessary to achieve a healing between African-Americans and other Americans. If trillion dollar restitutions and a wholesale rewriting of American law (in order to accommodate racial preferences) for African-Americans is not enough to achieve a "healing," what will?

Nine

What About The Debt Blacks Owe To America?

Slavery existed for thousands of years before the Atlantic slave trade was born, and in all societies. But in the thousand years of its existence, there never was an anti-slavery movement until white Christians - Englishmen and Americans -- created one. If not for the anti-slavery attitudes and military power of white Englishmen and Americans, the slave trade would not have been brought to an end. If not for the sacrifices of white soldiers and a white American president who gave his life to sign the Emancipation Proclamation, blacks in America would still be slaves. If not for the dedication of Americans of all ethnicities and colors to a society based on the principle that all men are created equal, blacks in America would not enjoy the highest standard of living of blacks anywhere in the world, and indeed one of the highest standards of living of any people in the world. They would not enjoy the greatest freedoms and the most thoroughly protected individual rights anywhere. Where is the gratitude of black America and its leaders for those gifts?

Ten

The Reparations Claim Is A Separatist Idea That Sets African-Americans Against The Nation That Gave Them Freedom

Blacks were here before the Mayflower. Who is more American than the descendants of African slaves? For the African-American community to isolate itself even further from America is to embark on a course whose implications are troubling. Yet the African-American community has had a long-running flirtation with separatists, nationalists and the political left, who want African-Americans to be no part of America's social contract. African Americans should reject this temptation.

For all America's faults, African-Americans have an enormous stake in their country and its heritage. It is this heritage that is really under attack by the reparations movement. The reparations claim is one more assault on America, conducted by racial separatists and the political left. It is an attack not only on white Americans, but on all Americans -- especially African-Americans.

America's African-American citizens are the richest and most privileged black people alive -- a bounty that is a direct result of the heritage that is under assault. The American idea needs the support of its African-American citizens. But African-Americans also need the support of the American idea. For it is this idea that led to the principles and institutions that have set African-Americans - and all of us -- free.

I think when Martin Luther King stated that the US wrote Blacks a check marked insufficient funds now we can consider it paid in full with interest.

Socialism cannot Survive Without the Poor and Uneducated
By Jeffers M. Dodge May 18, 2008

Socialism cannot survive without the poor and uneducated. That is why many Conservatives are advocating for an Institutional Reform Surge that will modernize the US Government’s mandated entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Disability. They believe that nothing short of a complete transformation to personal accounts, utilizing economic efficiencies created from over 200 years of fine-tuning of our capitalistic free market system will save the American government from a free fall into the abyss of the historically destructive economic principals of socialism.

Some of the most successful of these Conservative Advocates are William Kristol of the Weekly Standard, Dick Army’s FreedomWorks, the Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation, and the truly interactive, Newt Gingrich’s American Solutions. The David Horowitz Freedom Center is another Conservative Advocates here in Los Angeles that is attacking the problem of the Left in acedemic, media and entertainment terms..

The proposed annual shift of $1.3 trillion out of the public sector into the private sector will first and foremost create wealth for the working poor and middle class by establishing personal “Lock Box” accounts that will eliminate the need for other savings plan such as 401ks, IRAs etc. It will reduce the size of government and increase tax revenues to local, state and federal treasuries. Most Americans no longer support the current inefficient Social Security system that is a self-sustaining monster destined to take over the entire government bureaucracy -- draining billions out of the US economy both in terms of productivity and happiness.

Most Americans want their mandatory Social Security contributions to be personalized – some don’t. Who are these "anti-personalization" advocates? I call them the Socialist Coalition. They are the groups and organizations that spent almost a billion dollars to defeat of George W. Bush’s attempt to deliver social security privatization to the American public. They are a mix of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, private enterprises, private citizens, and left wing think tanks all over the country. They all have one goal in common; Socialism, an economic system of expropriation where the state, controlled by a handful of leftist elitists, takes ownership control over the means of production.

The programs fueled by Socialistic economic principles (taxpayers money) in America were designed by their proponents to unfairly compete with private businesses. Programs such as Public Schools vs Private Schools, Social Security vs Private Retirement, and now on the horizon an expansion of universal healthcare have all failed in terms of sustainability, quality, accessibility and affordability. These programs would never succeed in the real world without the taxpayer bailouts.

I ascribe this concession to Socialism to the ALLEGED collapse of capitalism in the 1930’s as seen through the prism of the left wing media. If truth be told, Roosevelt's New Deal policies, including Social Security, never gave permanent relief to the needy, or reform to the financial system, and our economy only recovered after Hitler took advantage of the fact we were in a depression. Only when we had to gear for war did our economy recover. (Just as a side note; Roosevelt's delay cost the lives of millions of Europeans and years of misery in America.) Another example of this distortion of historical perception is the McCarthy era, as rewritten of course by the left wing media, entertainment business and academia.

Nevertheless, in both cases, socialism got a foothold in the United States economy and muted our economic growth thereby exacerbating bad education, poverty, crime, drug use and gang violence. These measures of misery are the fuel for socialism, without it they die -- success for them is a paradox.

One more thing, the polarization we are experiencing in the United States between the left and the right is reflective of Americas resistance to the victimization and entitlement mindset created by the equality tenets attributed to socialism, “You are poor because of the rich therefore you deserve it for free.” This weakness is emboldening our enemies specifically the Islamic Brotherhood, students of Nazism and suppliers to our oil addicted economy. This broad network of Islamic Radicals coupled with high technology, have the potential of being far more destructive than Hitler ever was.

I am encouraging each and every one of you to participate in one of the Conservative Advocacies organizations above. Ask question, submit your policy ideas and make comments. What we need is an Institutional Reform Surge that can only happen when our leaders hear from we the people.

by Jeffers M. Dodge May 20, 2008

Joe Hicks will be our guest speaker on the 28th. We will be discussing Race in the Race.

According to the Obamaites, anyone (meaning a Republican) that dares to challenge Barack Obama is a racist. If you express policy differences and you are a Republican you are a racist. Try comparing experience; you are a racist. Discredit Barack’s associations (i.e. Rev. Wright); you are a racist. They don’t dare say that about Hillary’s campaign -- she can’t be a racist – she’s married to Bill, a Democrat.

Condoleezza Rice is not black; she’s an Uncle Tom, which is the same for all black Republicans, they’re all traitors to their race. She should be held up as a role model for the advancement of race relations in America but instead she is vilified because she is not a Democrat.

Obama grew up half white with his white mother and his white grandparents but now everyone believes he has the soul of black slaves. Obama is not a descendant of slaves and he was raised in a white middleclass neighborhood. America is in unchartered territory -- the far left owns the Democrats.

Obama’s roots were steeped in Communism and he was brainwashed to believe that state coerced equality is supreme -- except if you’re a white racist Republican, "You don't get a say!" Obama started off his campaign as a post-racial candidate until the “First Black President” Bill Clinton compared him to Jesse Jackson… That’s really harsh Bill… but we forgive you, cause you're a Democrat.

Why aren't Republicans standing up for post-racial principles such as integration and equality of race and gender? Not all Republican’s are wossies, there are a few exceptions. When I ran for office I declared that I was colorblind and we should all judge each other not by race or gender but by character, ability and talent. My campaign staff had a fit and advised against it. I didn’t listen – I couldn’t – this is how my parents raised me. (I was running against a black female hard core socialist)

Martin Luther King’s famous line about color, gender and character should be the proverbial 11th Commandment.

Republicans are doomed -- no, we are all doomed -- unless we can figure out how to overcome this challenge.

If I may suggest a solution to this problem of racism in America (aside from firing most of the Republican leadership for dereliction of duty) – let’s talk about slavery, the abolitionists, the Civil War, civil rights, women's rights -- BRAND THE FACTS -- make them LOUD and CLEAR. The Republicans have been post-racial since winning the Civil War - it has been the Democrats that have survived off purposeful division and hate.

The Democrats don't care if Obama is post-racial; it was the Republicans being targeted by Obama's snake oil & charm. It was our hopes and dreams that Democrats were finally coming around. But after Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, and his wife Michelle, did we, in fact, get to see the real Obama.

So let us grab this opportunity and start pushing our values to America as we go forward from here -- God, Country, Family, Free Markets, a strong Military and the 11th Commandment -- these are what made our country great.

Jeremiah's Revenge (mocks Obama with music - a waltz)

2008-05-02T16:06:00.001-07:00

Obama and Wright; A match made in heaven turns out was made in hell.
By Jeffers M. Dodge

On one hand I feel sorry for Obama and on the other hand I understand why Jeremiah is so pissed.

Just for clarity sake I am determined to eliminate socialism from America, so I would never vote for Barack Obama. I also find Jeremiah Wright to be the quintessential con artist and they both are the Pied Pipers of the African American community in the United States making a mockery of America’s political system.

Reverend Wright first met Obama just after his previous mentor Frank Davis Marshal, a card carrying Communist, died in 1987, (Did Obama meet Reverend Wright at his funeral?). He immediately recognized Obama’s extraordinary charisma and oratory skills and was happy to discover his Marxist upbringing. All this coupled with proper indoctrination to the Marxist based Black Liberation Theology Reverend Wright preaches from the pulpit – he concluded it was a match made in heaven - or so he thought.

Wright knew Obama was using him to gain inroads into the black community in the South Side of Chicago one of the most gullible places on earth for the purpose political expediency. Wright also knew that Obama was a star and going far and he was going to do everything in his power to tag along.

Barack was trained by Wright on the advantages of being a Christian in that community and learned how to be Black (Barack’s mother was white as a Lilly, and his father left them shortly after he was born) so that he could lead his followers to vote for him in the state senate. From there it was easy – just stick with the script and he will make it to the White House; a testament to post-racial America.

When the time came for Obama’s announcement to run for president he took Reverend Wright to the basement and told him he could not go. I can only guess that Wright felt betrayed and probably told Obama that God will be the judge. Soon after that, low and behold, the controversial DVD was discovered for the first time for sale in the lobby of the church where Jeremiah Wright preached damnation to the United States.

To put the last nail in the coffin of Obama’s campaign Reverend Wright decided to go on the Magical Mystery Tour and make a fool of himself and Obama. All Hillary Clinton and John McCain could do was sit back and see the wrath of the media do their job.

And so end’s Obama’s political career. The match that was made in heaven turns out was made in hell --- and that’s the way the devil works.

GOD bless George W. Bush

In response to Barack Obama’s speech “A More Perfect Union”

2008-03-20T15:24:00.000-07:00

In response to Barack Obama’s speech “A More Perfect Union”

Dear Barack,

Your words are like a Siren’s song – seductive and to some hard to resist but to me it was typical shallow liberal rhetoric.

Your speech reflects the hope and desires of what the Liberal press calls a post-racial generation. We Republicans have been post-racial since the Civil War. It’s about time that Liberals are starting to catch up with us Conservatives. We had hope for African Americans with the leadership of Martin Luther King. But Jeremiah Wright’s generation demanded segregation instead of integration... The worse kind of racism.

You have an interesting story, Barack. You came out of nowhere and all of a sudden you are the lead contender of the Democratic Party’s nominee for president of the United states. But your story is a cautionary tale; you are a man with a stealthy past and no definitive experience to justify the risk of my vote.

Barack, what do we know about you? You were born to a white mother and a black man who met in a Russian language class at the University of Hawaii in 1959. Less than 4 years later after your second birthday he abandoned the two of you and went back to Kenya.

Your mother remarried and moved to Indonesia where you were put into a Madrassa for several years and at the age of ten you were sent back to Hawaii to live with your grandparents. Here you met your childhood mentor Frank Marshall Davis where you developed a close father son relationship. This lasted from the age of 10 until you went off to college in Los Angeles at the age of 18.

Frank Marshall Davis was identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) in 1951 by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) and remained involved as a columnist espousing Marxist ideologies until he died in 1987. Did you go to his funeral? Was it eulogized by Jeremiah Wright?

Interesting that you have been going to Pastor Wright’s church since 1987 the year your mentor Frank Davis died. Is this where you lost one mentor and picked up another (father figure) Wasn’t it about then as a community leader you decided to enter politics? Wasn’t it 1992 when you worked for the Chicago Democrats registering voters for Bill Clinton?

You have a lot going for you such as your youth, faith, a family that loves you, and the fact that you are where you are today – one for the history books if you succeed.

I don’t think you are a racist but I am convinced you are a Marxist and will use Racial issues to lure in the disenfranchised to whimsical promises, not of freedom, but of free stuff all paid for on the backs of the hard workers who succeed.

As a well educated lawyer, (Columbia/Harvard), It is hard for me to believe that you would choose a philosophy (Marxism) that has such a brutal authoritarian past. While at the same time deny the tremendous success of our Free Market System. Or how you can rationalize that by taxing the rich to pay for the poor can ever be a successful or equal economic model? -- “Equality can never be obtained as long as there are corner apartments.”

What would happen if everyone in America were well educated and working? Socialism would be out of business.

What is stopping our American economy from delivering that promise to every citizen? The answer my friend is the fact that we have a mixed economy. Part Free Market and part Socialism. Free Markets' successes can be measured by the incredible rise in the standard of living America has experienced and shared with the rest of the world over the last 25 years. While Socialism has never worked and more often than not morphed into a fascist state or tyrannical theocracy.

Recognizing certain truths about the governance of this country is essential to objective leadership. One of them is the power of the individual. The mere fact that you hold tight to your chest the virtue of the Social Security System is one thing but in its current form makes me wonder about your decision making process. Your position that Government has done a good job of managing social security over the last 45 years and that its problems can be fixed with a tax hike on the middle class scares me. Your refusal to recognize how successful our markets have been over the long haul, even with all the social programs handicapping our full potential is, I believe, a flaw in your analytical judgment.  Empower the individual, give him choices over his own finances, let him invest in America, let him feel as if he owns a piece of America… he will be happier.

When you firmly state that in regards to reforming Social Security nothing will be kept off the table EXCEPT privatization indicates to me that all that lofty talk of working with Republicans is just double-talk and meaningless. This shows poor judgment. Privatizing is the only way to fix Social Security.

What troubles me even more is that you fail to acknowledge that through privatization, infusing tons of cash into the capital markets is a positive thing for the working poor and middle class. You also fail to realize the Federal, State and Local treasuries and the value of the dollar will benefit strongly as well. This failure in judgment indicates to me that you are not as smart as you lead us to believe (a product of affirmative action) or you have a different agenda than what is best for this country.

The only way to win this election, if you are nominated, is to join Conservatives and let capitalism work. Otherwise there is no way you can possibly win. Socialism sucks the passion out of the individual and productivity comes to a standstill. The ownership society depends on all of us working together to make it happen. We have given socialist policies 45 years to work and they have failed.

This country has come the furthest in terms of race than any other country on earth. Conservatives have been color blind all along. The first part of your speech made reference to all the accomplishments of the Republican Party since the writing of the Constitution.

We are Republicans, the Party of Lincoln that abolished slavery by winning the Civil War against the Democrats and passing the 13th Amendment that forever abolished forced labor. We wrote and passed the 14th Amendment that included Due Process and Equal Protection clauses as well as defining what a US citizen is including, for the first time, African Americans. We wrote and passed the 15th Amendment, which gave every citizen, as defined by the 14th Amendment, the right to vote. We wrote the first Civil Rights Act of 1866, which was vetoed by Andrew Johnson a Democrat. Ninety-nine years later Republican President Eisenhower proposed the Civil Rights act of 1957, which subsequently sustained the longest filibuster in history by the Democrats. Then in 1964 the Democrats amended Eisenhower’s bill and passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which was basically designed to lure African Americans into the welfare state of the Johnson Administration. Blacks found safety back on the plantation of the Democratic Party and turned against those that freed them who in return treated them with indifference which really meant we did not treat them any differently than any other race.

Now here we are in the 21st Century and you are taking the Conservative position that the Democrats have better come to their senses in terms of race and accepting the possibility of a black President. I am enjoying watching all your different groups jockey for position. Jeremiah Wright, the Clintons, Ferraro, Pastor Manning, Jessie Jackson is having a heart attack over this, the anti-war pacifist led by the Communist Party of the United States et al.

However, it must be emphasized that the idea of becoming a truly “Post-Racial” society can only be accomplished by crossing the aisle, growing our economy and protecting us from our enemies.

But I have a nagging gut feeling Barack, that you want to stop this country from fulfilling its potential. You are preaching a much weaker military while at the same time practicing the politics of racial division, victimolgy, and poverty by defending Jeremiah Wright… Why? Is it because you want to preserve your job?

No I think it is more than that.

When I think of you I think of the Sirens of Greece or the myth of the Pied Piper or maybe you are the Trojan Horse... as soon as your elected you are going to unleash the hidden communist sympathizers into high government positions and as soon as we are hit by terrorist, because of a weakened military, you will declare Marshal Law.. and that will be the end of our constitution and our country as we know it.

Just a word of warning my friend, our Republican values and principles of objective reality, faith in God, family and the love for this country is the only thing I will die for and the only tune I will sing.

“…and his music outshun the Sirens song”

God Bless America

Democrats on illegal immigration Socialism at its finest

2008-03-12T23:24:00.000-07:00

The Democrats view on illegal immigration is socialism at its finest.

I would like to know where John McCain is going to end up on this issue? I know where the the law firm of Obama, Pelosi and Reid stand.

Normally our economy is dynamic -- it has its ebbs and flows. After experiencing a tremendous economic expansion during the last 25 years mostly due to Reaganomics, we maybe headed into a financial downturn due in part to the severe drop in the value of dollar. There are many reasons for this but its not the point I am trying to make.

In the last 7 years we have had several major catastrophes including 9/11, Iraq/Afghanistan and the War on Terror. These events were enormous in size and very expensive -- draining trillions from our economy. The Democrats try to blame the Republicans for this when in fact the blame belongs to the Islamic Fascists. Our economy by all measure exceeded expectations and performed beautifully during this time. However, in addition to having to manage the inevitable economic downturn/adjustment, we have to deal with the influx of illegal aliens. This is causing a tremendous stress on our infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, jails, courts, law enforcement and most importantly traffic. With the dollar devalued, gas prices inflated, gold at record levels our treasuries just don’t have the money to deal with all these problems, let alone another catastrophe.

Whatever plans our political leaders have in mind regarding illegal immigration our economy just can’t handle it. Something has to give.

In terms of welfare, schools, hospitals, jails, courts and law enforcement these added expenses far exceed the tax contributions made by illegal aliens.

There is an upside to illegal immigrants. When the president tried to save the pyramid scheme known as Social Security and failed, contributions made to social security by illegal aliens and their employers are significant enough to delay the collapse of the system. On a side note: the Socialist spent $1 billion to defeat him not by debating the merits of private accounts but by besmirching his character and motive. FYI: Business contributions to Social Security alone are in excess of $500 Billion (thank you big business)

The estimated cost of illegal immigration to the US taxpayer is somewhere around $250 Billion and the cost of amnesty could be as high as $2.5 trillion**.

Where are we going to get the money? Certainly not from raising taxes, unless the law firm of Obama, Pelosi and Reid take over our government. God help us all.

There are several solutions to getting the money needed to save our dollar and restore America to its rightful place as the most progressive Nation on earth and that is to cut taxes on business, cut the capital gains taxes on investments and privatize the entitlement programs: http://mediagarage.org/clients/RiseUpAmericA/site/index.html

There is only one solution to illegal immigration problem -- Build the wall.

There is only one solution to the illegals that are already here — Enforce the laws.

And only one solution to saving this country — vote Republican.

Bottom line; its the Economy... Not Islam… Not illegal immigration

2007-11-21T23:26:00.000-08:00

Bottom line; its the Economy... Not Islam… Not illegal immigration

These two problems are casualties of extreme negative competition waged against free market capitalism by the dark forces of socialism, an economic system that has never worked and more often than not transformed itself into a fascist state of dictatorial rule. Waged not by a competition of ideas but of personal attacks and smear campaigns, symptomatic of a desperate struggle to survive. Simply put, socialism sucks dry the source of inspiration and innovation, whereas, free market capitalism encourages it. Profit with honor is a virtue.

The economic well being of this country keeps us together. It is based on trust, honor, faith and integrity. However, there is a building tension between socialism, as promoted by the Democratic Party, and free market capitalism that threatens to undermine these bedrock values. This tension is exasperated by an ever-increasing influx of poor illegal immigrants and their families seeking the American Dream. What these immigrants are met with, as they cross the border, is a schizophrenic society that inundates them with special entitlements that are not a definition of America but of a false definition of freedom where every thing is practically free. Democratic legislatures all across the country prop up this advancement to socialism by passing incentives into laws, such as free in-state tuition, cheap housing and free healthcare. Many cities institute programs such as Special Order 40 and Sanctuary City policies creating safety zones designed to welcome and coddle illegal immigrants. Business on this side of the border exasperate the problem by turning the other way when hiring illegal immigrants contributing to the perception of an entitlement society. It has been said that business has no ideology except for the bottom line. Profit with honor is a virtue.

This nation’s infrastructure is falling apart and needs to be modernized. Our education system is sadly mismanaged, our health care system is under intense financial strain, our police and fire departments are woefully behind the times as far as technology and manpower, and our military needs to be stabilized according to the lessons learned from our ongoing effort of saving the world. (for example from Nazism, Japanese Nationalism, Communism, and Islamic radical fundamentalism.)

The only thing on the horizon that can greatly increase tax revenues across the board, increase profits for businesses, lower the tax burden on the middle class, and create a contrary enhancement to the trickle-down theory (in other words a trickle-up theory), in a relatively short period of time, is the complete overhaul of our entitlement programs including the privatization of Social Security. Democrats are terrified of this because it would render them useless.

Just to prove a point mathematically; it is the difference between the current system (a ponzi scheme) and the magic of compounding interest. It takes the 15.3% extracted primarily from wage earners making less than $100,000 a year and puts that withholding into a personal investment account that will grow during their 40-year working life into millions. The average household in today’s dollars would have a $3.2 million nest egg and a $27,000 a month retirement check. In addition, this nest egg can be passed on to the retiree’s relatives after he dies to ensure his successors could afford the best healthcare, education and housing available.

This last statement means a huge jump in demand for goods and services, which will have to be met locally, which means more jobs and an increase in tax revenue. Enough revenue to Rebuild America.

The political outcome of all of this should be the elimination of socialism as a Democratic goal, resulting in a unifying determination, by both parties, to spread this system throughout all the world. Illegal immigrants will want to go back to their home country: Islam would have to reform or perish and for once we can fight the war on poverty where all humans are given the dignity of opportunity to be healthy, educated and prosper.

One more thing; as far as this man is concerned, humans thrive when they can place their spiritual faith in an idealized higher power. History has proven it and reason demands it.

Letter to Ann Coulter

2007-10-30T02:06:00.000-07:00

The following is a letter I received from a woman on my email list. I answered her letter by echoing what I believe Ann would have said or believes. I haven't asked her these questions. My answer is what I think Ann might have said, albeit much more witty and smart.

The letter from this woman starts like:

Hi Jeffers, long time no see,

FTR: Am not a Republican and from the looks of it, won't be changing parties soon.

More importantly...there is nothing that would cause me to support, defend, promote, or protect the foul/big-mouthed, usually offensive, self-promoting Ann Coulter. Aside from never having done anything constructive for the AA communities, women of her likeness, and demeanor, have caused our people enough trouble. Had there not been concern over who will be demonstrating against her, may have joined them myself.

Sorry USC extended an invitation to a useless piece of self-serving, hot-air, but oh well, they gave the same grace to Ward Connelly too. Why should black America come out for either one, or the Republican Party? Convince me if you can.

So I answered her in my usual wordy and clumsy way:

Dear ,

Ann Coulter is a Christian. She has a conservative message about family, faith and country. She is a lawyer who discovered that bomb throwing works. It gets attention -- causes people to engage. She is trying her hardest to wake people up to the threat of the anti-women-as-equals Islam. She believes that the government has been ripping middle and lower class people off by charging them 15% of their paychecks and keeping 90% of the interest they would otherwise earn in the guise of Social Security. In other words, a minimum wage worker during his 45 years working life should have over a million dollars in his social security lock box if it had his name on it. Instead it thrown into a communal lock box with everybody's name on it including all the congressmen and senators.

Ann Coulter doesn’t believe in evolution, same sex marriage, welfare that tears apart the home, an education system where 70% of minorities drop out of high schools to join gangs, commit crimes and ends up in jail. She believes the Democrats have no interest in changing this dynamic because this is where they receive their power. Republicans on the other hand get their power from individuals that become wealthy due to their own devices, such as a good education from competitive private schools where the tuition is far less than the $15,000 per student per year that the LAUSD spends.

Think about it. If you were an average American wage earner grossing $40,000 per year and set aside 15% of your paycheck for 45 years you would retire with a monthly Social Security benefit of $26,000 per month instead of the $1,100 per month Social Security currently pays. The $3.5 million nest egg that is in your lockbox could be left to your children when you die instead of nothing the current system offers. Your children could pay for all their families health insurance, private schools and colleges and still have money left over for a nice down payment on a home.

You tell me why the Democrats don’t want this? Is it because they are scared that their platform of poverty, misery and groupthink will become useless? Why are the Democrats so afraid of American success. You can see this in the war in Iraq. I do not know of a single person that doesn’t want our troops home NOW. The difference between the Democrats and the Republicans like me is the Democrats want them to come home losers. Why is that? Do they hate Republicans that much?

I am proud to be a Republican. I am proud to be of the same party of Abraham Lincoln that freed the slaves, Ronald Reagan who won the cold war, G W Bush that freed 50 million people in the middle east from tyrants like the Taliban and Saddam Hussein. We are not the party of the KKK — the Democrats are. They still have members in congress that were members of the KKK. We were the ones that wrote the first Civil Rights Bill in Congress — it was the Democrats the filibustered it. It was the Republicans that started the NAACP and lead the women’s suffrage movement. We are the party where we judge people not by their race or gender but by their character, talents and ability. This is where the GROUPS decide they did not like us because we would not pander to their special interests. Look at Condi Rice and Colin Powell... Their parent are proud of their achievements. It wasn’t because of their skin color that got them the job it was their tenacity and their lack of the “Entitlement Mindset” of so many minorities that got them noticed.

Why are the Democrats swarming to listen to Iranian President Ahmadiniejad speak at Columbia University and applauding this man who treats woman as chattel while threatening to wipe Israel and the US off the map? Why are the same Democrats shouting down and inhibiting the right of free speech of people trying to warn them, and us, that these Radical Islamic Fundamentalists who are killing our soldiers in Iraq are our mortal enemies and will not stop until even they are slaughtered or submit to Allah.

Why are you a Democrat? Why are you aboard a sinking ship? Socialism has never worked.

I will let you know how she responds...

Is Ted Hayes the New Ward Connerly?

2007-07-21T23:01:00.000-07:00

Is Ted Hayes the New Ward Connerly?

Los Angeles Sentinel , Commentary, Dr. Anthony Asadullah Samad, Posted: Jul 15, 2007

Editor's Note: Republican and former homeless advocate Ted Hayes has become the 'Black Face' of the anti-immigrant movement. He is on record stating “illegal immigration is the biggest threat to Blacks since slavery.”

Illegal immigration reform is a salient issue in America today. Particularly among the Republicans who consider this issue “a border crisis.” Congress’ effort to legislate a solution was met with a last minute Republican filibuster stalled a viable solution to addressing the 12 million resident aliens in the country, a measured naturalization process for those who qualified. It was said that it was too much like amnesty. But now the Republicans have pulled out their latest secret weapon, former homeless advocate now Black Republican, Ted Hayes. Hayes, who came to the nation’s attention as a homeless advocate in the 1990s, has abandoned the homeless movement that has taken on a disproportionately African American hue (at a time when Los Angeles is the homeless capital of the nation) for a new “Black movement.” Illegal immigration.
[read article]

This is my Response....

Dear Anthony,

I read your article about Ted Hayes. Up front I am going to tell you why I think you are more destructive to your community than Ted Hayes could ever be. First, you use the sound bite “Colorblind” as if it’s a derogatory term. What is wrong about being color blind?

I am a white man and I am not a racist. So if YOU ask me to treat you differently because you are black, and I don’t, that doesn’t make me racists. I was raised colorblind. In other words I took to hart what my parents taught me and what Martin Luther King tried to teach you and your community; Don’t judge people by their race or gender just their character ability and talent.

Upon objectively reading your article I could initially judge you as a divisive spoiled elitist trying to prove something to someone, but I would need to meet with you in person to be certain of that judgment. Have you ever sat down with Ted Hayes? I challenge you to interview him as a man not afraid to be creative.

Why shouldn’t you and I hold people to the same moral, ethical and intellectual standards regardless of their race gender and religion? Why is your article replete with references to color and race? “White conservative “minuteman” protecting America from illegal invasion that assaults their “American values.” The Minutemen are Americans that comes in all strips; Black, White Asian, Vietnamese, rich poor, homeless etc etc etc… Why did you mislead your readers? Was it to manipulate the truth to justify your false premise: that the minutemen are racist? You go on to state that they want to protect their property. Don’t you believe in Property Rights? Or, are you one of those open borders communist that believe in taking from the successful and giving it to the lazy? Why don’t you tell your readers who is really paying the bill in this country? 10% of the most successful are paying 90% of the taxes? Instead of saying the richest 1% that owns 40% of the wealth, or the bottom 35% of Americans are paying no taxes at all.

Why don’t you believe in American Values such as family, faith and Country from which a comprehensive set principals such as less government, less taxes and more personal freedom blossomed. History shows Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan did more to preserve the Constitution, Liberty and Freedom than any Democrat in history. What was the result of their efforts? The emancipation of the African slaves and their offspring, which led to the 14th Amendment written by Republicans, Our Republican Generals MacArthur, Patton, Eisenhower won both WWI and WWII. It was the Republicans that wrote the first civil rights laws and gave woman the right to vote, and are currently in the process of bringing freedom and liberty to the Middle East. Most importantly, we have defined and refined Free Market Capitalism; the most successful and compassionate economic system in the history of the world.

Did the Republicans abandon the Black American in the sixties? No, we are not the party who “sees groups” unless they are oppressed such as the Europeans, Japanese, Russians, Iraqis, Afghanis, and the slaves (all slaves not just black slaves). Once we shifted the laws from Big Daddy government to the strength and independence of the individual we created an environment for this human resource to flourish. However, the American Blacks fell in love with the Democrats that felt guilty about their past oppressive relationship and created the welfare state that inhibited personal responsibility and a strong family unit.

You, on the other hand, believe that your community is different and in need of special attention. Right? Republicans and conservative Americans believe that dependence on anyone is equal to slavery. Look at Iraq. Democrat’s main argument about surrendering Iraq is that we need to cut them loose so they can take care of themselves. I agree but not until we can be sure that they can fight off Al Qaeda and Iranians. Tony it time for you to join Ted Hayes and lead your community to independence instead of victimization, cut yourself loose from the shackles of dependency of the old and new slave masters the Democrats. Theirs is the party that thrives on using the Black community as a means to win elections. And what has come of this arrangement?

I am an 11th generation American. Mayflower and all that. My ancestors were immigrants. Immigrants are what built this country to what it is today. Africans and Asian slaves played a part in the construction of this country. It was ugly and a blemish but a fact nonetheless. Once the Republican Party was formed we sent 500,000 white boys and several thousand blacks to their deaths to liberate the slaves. Now look at how you are repaying us. By doing the bidding for the original slave masters the Democrats. American did away with slavery and we hold the basic values “That all Men are Created Equal” as a universal God given Truth. This Human Right is not given to us by the State, as the Democrats want you to believe, but given to us by God as the Republicans believe.

This is why we are so concerned about illegal immigration. On a side note Mr. Super Intellect, in order to further your cause of divisiveness you claim that Ted Hayes is purely against illegal Mexican immigrants. I have known Ted for 3 years now and this is the furthest from the truth. His main concern is the condition of his community… the poor and homeless, (race is not a factor) which is growing as a result of illegal immigration from below the southern border. (300,000 illegals are living in garages in LA County)

Blacks ARE being hurt by illegal immigration. But that’s not the point. OUR SOCIETY is being hurt by illegal immigration and it is a fact that Blacks are disproportionately being hurt the most. Why is that? It is this question where you should be directing your super intellect toward answering. But you don’t. Instead, you tear down others that are creative enough to devise a solution to the problem, but you don’t even try.

Now here is where I question your motives. It seems that you enjoy tearing down other people and their noble efforts so like-minded peers can laud you. I am a Music Producer and reject musical acts that I call mimickers – in other words, pianist who can play Beethoven’s 5th perfectly but can’t even write their own compositions to save their lives. Ted Hayes dares to be original and you just mimic the same old failed liberal rhetoric.

It is this mind-set that robs society from its true potential. I do expect you to dismiss this like a good communist would, but if you care about the idea of America and the 50 states and their citizens that have adopted it, then ask yourself these questions. Why, after 45 years of Democrat control over Black Americans have their not been any increase in the percentage of Blacks in the US population? Why have there been 35 million abortions of Black Babies since Roe vs. Wade? Why have Black Americans rejected God for the godless ideology of socialism? Why do Black Americans insist they are owed something as a race thereby separating themselves from the rest of American Society? Why is this not so for the Japanese or Chinese who look as different as any other culture? Is it because ALL American Blacks are descendants from slaves? That 200 years ago their brethren in Africa sold them out? How should I feel about your place in this country when I am not color blind, but you are? Anthony, why do you keep harping on other’s ideas when you offer no idea’s of your own?

Why shouldn’t all of us hold people to the same moral, ethical and intellectual standards regardless of our race gender and religion? We are all Americans… Right?

Iraq; The Truth is a Dillusion to the Democrats

2007-07-09T11:27:00.000-07:00

The following is a snippet of an article sent to me by my Brother in Law. It reflects a broad truth that is is designed to scare the bejesus out of you.

Leave Iraq and Brace for a Bigger Bloodbath
By Natan Sharansky
Sunday, July 8, 2007; Page B03

Of course, Hussein's removal has created a host of difficult strategic challenges, and numerous human rights atrocities have been committed since his ouster. But let us be under no illusion of what life under Hussein was like. He was a mass murderer who tortured children in front of their parents, gassed Kurds, slaughtered Shiites, started two wars with his neighbors and launched Scud missiles into downtown Riyadh and Tel Aviv. The price for the stability that Hussein supposedly brought to the region was mass graves, hundreds of thousands of dead in Iraq, and terrorism and war outside it. Difficult as the challenges are today -- with Iran and Syria trying to stymie democracy in Iraq, with al-Qaeda turning Iraq into the central battleground in its holy war of terrorism against the free world, and with sectarian militias bent on murder and mayhem -- there is still hope that tomorrow may be better.

No one can know for sure whether President Bush's "surge" of U.S. troops in Iraq will succeed. But those who believe that human rights should play a central role in international affairs should be doing everything in their power to maximize the chances that it will. For one of the consequences of failure could well be catastrophe.

A precipitous withdrawal of U.S. forces could lead to a bloodbath that would make the current carnage pale by comparison. Without U.S. troops in place to quell some of the violence, Iranian-backed Shiite militias would dramatically increase their attacks on Sunnis; Sunni militias, backed by the Saudis or others, would retaliate in kind, drawing more and more of Iraq into a vicious cycle of violence. If Iraq descended into full-blown civil war, the chaos could trigger similar clashes throughout the region as Sunni-Shiite tensions spill across Iraq's borders. The death toll and the displacement of civilians could climb exponentially.

Perhaps the greatest irony of the political debate over Iraq is that many of Bush's critics, who accused his administration of going blindly to war without considering what would happen once Hussein's regime was toppled, now blindly support a policy of withdrawing from Iraq without considering what might follow.

Racism

Is race a social construct or genetic?

The answer is social construct. There is no evidence that race is determined by genetics. Therefor anyone that defines themselves as being different than another based on skin color or geographical location is themselves a racist.

In addition, anyone who holds all people to the same morel, ethical and intellectual standards cannot be a racist.

As a conservative I hold to be true that one cannot judge another by race or gender but only by character, talent and ability.
