Political*

I like to stay away from political issues most of the time. I was listening to Deneen Borelli, a Conservative Black Woman. When I started listening I didn't realize she was black. I am a conservative so I guess its only natural that I might stop and listen to a conservative on the radio. I know it is unusual for a black person to be conservative. Especially in the last 6 years or so. To be black and not support Obama was unthinkable. But my real question is why is it so wrong to the liberal side for a black person to think conservatively? A black person such as Deneen will be called all sorts of unprintable things and be considered a traitor to their own race. She talked a little about this today and that's when I realized she was black. The liberals think they are the champions for equal rights and think they are the champions for civil rights and I think most Americans not knowing their history think this is so. Abraham Lincoln was a republican. I don't really want to get into a conservative/liberal debate but to my way of thinking the liberals are very hypocritical if a minority person cannot think for themselves and be a conservative. It makes me think a lot of what they do is about control, just like now the amnesty debate is really about getting more voters that will be obligated to them, and not about their rights and doing what is right. I know both sides want to control but from where I am sitting Bush was more honest about what he really thought. It seems the liberals will say anything to be in control. Now that I said that I do have to say, I see many Republicans backing down on their beliefs about same-sex marriages. I don't think its right to change what we think to become the party in power. We should be able to talk about our differences and compromise. But we should not change our stance, our belief system to gain control. If we are right, the present administration is headed for failure eventually. Somebody has to work to pay taxes to support all the giveaways. When it gets to be over 50% on the taking side, it should become clear to even a child that this doesn't work. We are the government and we are the source of the government money, if everyone becomes a taker and there are no more givers, it will fail. It doesn't have to be 100% to make that clear, but it may be too late to save this government of the people for the people. One of my favorite Black writers is Walter Williams, an Economics Professor. He makes a lot of sense. I still think the most important thing is to stay in God's hands. I guess once in a while I have to say something political.  The gun debate may also be more about being in control of us the people than really protecting us. I am afraid that we are coming close to the end. But I don't want to be a doomsday person. I have heard when I was a child, one teenager said he didn't think the 1965 cars would come out, well you know how long ago that was and we are still here. But a generation could be as long a 100 years. Only God Knows, we just need to stay in his hands.  God bless, LVZ.
