Time to Be Heard: Glenn Beck's black conservative summit Part 2

The title of Glenn's special was "Time to Be Heard". This is my question. Why aren't black conservatives and other ethnic conservatives not being heard? I use to listen to Matt Drudge's old radio show on Sunday Nights. Drudge had a great show and I never missed a show. I loved his sarcastic wit in how he goofed on liberals in politics, the media and entertainment. His style was a lot like my own. Anyways, Matt gave up his show in order to focus more time on The Drudge Report and other activities. A radio host from Cincinnati by the name of Bill Cunningham took over for Matt. You all might know Bill for the flack he caught for using Obama's middle name of Hussein before it is now "cool" to use it. This is what steams me a bit about Bill Cunningham and other radio talk show hosts like Sean Hannity. Every time there is a "racial issue" making news, you can place a bet that "the only two black Conservatives in America" that will be invited on their shows are "Jesse Lee Peterson" and at times Roy Inus. I really didn't put two plus two together on this issue until the poster child for abstract ignorance and bad taste Leo Terrell brought it up while debating Jesse Lee Peterson on Sean Hannity's radio show last year. I have no problem with Jesse Lee Peterson personally. I was a regular caller on his old radio show. I also have his book SCAM: How the black leadership exploits Black America. This is my observation. In order for black and other ethnic conservatives to have a voice and actually "be heard" as Glenn put it, black and other ethnic conservatives must have a platform by the new media beyond only asking a select few about racial issues. Using Jesse Lee Peterson or Roy Inus very time there is a "black issue" is actually damaging to the prominence of black conservatism. When Rush Limbaugh goes on vacation or has to take days off, one of his guest hosts on occasion is Economist Walter E. William from George Mason University. I love it when Walter is a guest host. Walter is a black libertarian and has one of the sharpest and keen minds when it comes to Business and Economics. It's refreshing listening to black conservatives and libertarians discuss issues other then race all the time when on a television or radio talk show. I'm a regular caller on WCBM 680 here in Baltimore. I've gotten a lot of emails over the years by listeners who are impressed with my well thought out positions on issues through the eyes of conservatism. People who watch my YouTube videos, read the blog or hear me on the radio know that I am not a "type casted race issue only conservative". Glenn's show "Time to Be Heard was predominately about "race" as it pertains to black conservatives. Conservatism among ethnic conservatives in America will not grow unless it is displayed on" multiple topics" not just every time an issue of race surfaces. I would like to hear conservatives of different races on the issues of limited government, taxation, foreign policy, domestic issues, the economy and border security. Conservatives tell me that "I'm so brave for speaking out" on different issues since I'm a black conservative. This is what I usually tell them in response. The "oddballs" are normally the brave ones. Once there is strength in numbers among the oddballs that are openly heard, then the oddballls become the "mainstream".

Time to Be Heard: Glenn Beck's black conservative summit Part 1

Since I haven't written any "black" stories in awhile, I decided to make this one my quota for the month. A received an email several weeks ago about possibly being a participant on the Glen Beck show on the topic of Black Conservatism in America. I had a previous engagement for the day that show was to be taped and I couldn't change it. Even if I was free to have attended, I'm not really sure I would have went. I'll tell you all why at a later time. Glenn Beck's show was called "Time to Be Heard". His audience and panel were made up of black conservatives and some pseudo conservatives. It was a very interesting segment, I believe you all will find it worth the view.



In the first segment, Glenn Beck and Fox Business reporter and commentator Charles Payne toured the neighborhood where Charles grew up. The segment was enlightening about what Charles had to endore simply for doing the right thing. This is what bugged my about Charles and some of the black so called conservatives though. They admitted voting for Barack Obama. Now that I think about it, it was a good thing I wasn't in attendance. People know that a sniff out a hypocrites a mile away. Black so called conservatives who pulled the lever for Barack Obama and are now criticizing him lack a lot of credibility to even call themselves conservatives. I don't believe I've ever ripped on black conservatives since I created this blog over five years ago. I need to correct myself, I did rip on Michael Steele frequently and still do. As an American of African descent, it never dawned on me for one nanosecond to even consider voting for Barack Obama, and here's why that is. Barack Obama came onto the national scene at the Democrat National Convention in 2004. The only thing that separated Obama from other hard left liberals was the color of his skin. As the election drew near, more and more details on the upbringing and radical associations of Obama came to light. These black conservatives as well as I knew this. They can't say that they went into the voting booth not knowing who Barack Obama truly was and what his intentions as president was going to be if he won. So when these same black conservatives criticize Obama, I have to give a sarcastic stare. I knew how Obama was going to govern, because I knew about his background and ideological views. I wasn't going to be two faced by voting for Barack Obama and then criticise him on how he's governing. I didn't check my conservatism outside of the voting booth on November 4th. I got asked a question a few weeks after the election here in Baltimore. I was asked by a black male who knows I'm a conservative whether I voted for Obama or McCain. I told him I voted for McCain. He asked me "where was my pride"? Being the sarcastic analytical wise ass that I'm, I turned the question around on him. I asked him who did he vote for in the U.S Senate race between Michael Steele and Ben Cardin. He told me Ben Cardin. So I asked him "where was his pride in not voting for a black man to become the first U.S Senator from our state of Maryland"? I didn't care so much about the pride issue, I just turned it on him to show how much of a hypocrite he was. I voted for Michael Steele, because his politics were way more in line with mines then Cardin. In other words, I voted for the "man" not his "skin". If Obama destroys our country by signing in some of the most radical legislation to be taken up in congress in decades if not ever, I can look myself in the mirror as a paleo-conservative and say that "I didn't check my principals at the door and voted for him to make it happen".

Lou Dobbs calls it quits at CNN effective immediately!

It appears that Lou Dobbs has had enough of working for a network that is anything but "the most trusted name in news". CNN is a third rate cable "news" network. Lou Dobbs abruptly resigning is big news. Actually it's almost on the same level as if Fox News lost one of it's top teir talents such as Bill O'Reily or Sean Hannity. I believe Dobbs would be a perfect fit on the Fox Business Network. This comment by Dobbs will have many people speculating for weeks to come.

Lou Dobbs "Some leaders in the media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond my role here at CNN and engage in constructive problem-solving."

Could Dobbs be considering a run for political office? For him to want out of his contract two years early and with no apparent reason why, speculation is going to be running wild. I wish Lou well in whatever he decides to do going forward. At least he no longer has to associate himself with a third rate, last place, far left organization that pretends it's a cable news outlet and the "most trusted name in news".

Here's a funny thing about those indepedent voters that the GOP supposedly can't attract.

It looks like the GOP has discovered how to attract independent voters back into the fold. I'm going to do another one of my infamous poll breakdowns. The latest Gallup Poll shows that Republicans have moved ahead of Democrats 48% to 46% in the generic ballot going into next year's midterm elections. Don't look for the latest Gallup poll to headline on the network nightly news and cable news outlets. Fox News might be the lone exception. The headline of the latest Gallup Poll is "Republicans Edge Ahead of Democrats in 2010 Vote". Democrats have been saying that the 2006 and 2008 elections were a blunt rejection by Americans on how the country was being run by Republicans. Their talking point catch phrase was in reference of "the last eight years" of Bush and Republican messing things up. So now the question is how come Republicans are ahead of Democrats going into 2010 just one year removed from Bush? According to liberal logic, Bush should have at least been an eight year plague on the GOP. I said back in 2005 that conservatives were leaving the GOP in large numbers due to the party stabbing it's base in the back on many issues dear to conservatives like immigration and wreck less spending. That was the main reason why they lost control of congress in the first place in 2006. Of course, Democrat liberals tried to spin it by saying that the GOP was losing voters due to the party "going further to the right". Conservatives knew that wasn't the story at all. That excuse was the start of Democrat strategists attempting to play the Republican National Committee for a bunch of chumps and sad to say it worked. This paragraph shows why you should never believe a word that comes out of a lying liberal's mouth"

Gallup "As was the case in last Tuesday's gubernatorial elections, independents are helping the Republicans' cause. In the latest poll, independent registered voters favor the Republican candidate by 52% to 30%. Both parties maintain similar loyalty from their bases, with 91% of Democratic registered voters preferring the Democratic candidate and 93% of Republican voters preferring the Republican." It was independent voters that gave the victory to Chris Christy in New Jersey and Bob McDonnell in Virginia.

Independent voters favor the Republican candidate by a margin of 52% to 30%! That is a 22% lead among independents in favor of Republicans. Here's another point of interest in the Gallup poll.

Gallup "Over the course of the year, independents' preference for the Republican candidate in their districts has grown, from a 1-point advantage in July to the current 22-point gap."

July was the month when the Tea Parties started across the country. The left thought that the tea parties weren't going to accomplish anything. It looks like they were wrong. It was the Tea Party activists that assembled in July that showed up at the Town hall meetings in August while building more momentum along the way. Many of the conservative voters that left the GOP and didn't vote for McCain last year are independent conservative voters. The same reason why they left the GOP is the same reason they would never have voted for John McCain. Liberals can't explain it try as they might.

If the GOP is losing independent voters because of it's imaginary move to the hard right according to the left, why does the GOP have a 22 point lead among those same independents that they supposedly alienated? I said back in February that by the GOP being the "party of no" it would be the best remedy in helping to rebuild it's credibility among conservatives that left the party and became independents. Once again, I was proven right and liberals were once again made to look clueless. This poll validates everything that those "crazy far right wing radio talk show hosts" have been saying from the beginning.
When the GOP does the right thing, the base will be there for them.

A Veterans Day message to those who served.

To the heroes of our country that are more then worthy of our admiration and respect. It takes a special person to donn the uniform of the military and be ready to put one's self in harms way at a moments notice. These men and women serve our country not looking for fame or fortune, they do it for love of country. To the members who are currently serving and who have served in our Armed Forces.





WE THANK YOU!

Barack Obama didn't want to be overshadowed by the legend in Berlin.

Leaders from around the world are in Berlin to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall which lead to the reunification between East and West Germany. One would think that the 20th anniversary would be an historic event worthy of the leader of the United States to attend. Barack Obama thought differently. It seems that the thoughts of a government run health care bill is more important to him then celebrating one of the greatest moments of freedom witnessed by the world. It goes deeper then that actually. In Obama's mind, everything has to revolve around him. Obama doesn't like to share the spotlight with anyone. Obama didn't want to go and celebrate on the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall simply, because the legacy of former President Ronald Reagan would overshadow Obama's presence. When people think of the falling of the Berlin Wall, they naturally think of Ronald Reagan. The falling of the Berlin Wall was one of President Reagan's greatest legacies. Barack Obama doesn't have a legacy. Schools have been renamed after Obama, children have been brainwashed to sing his praises, Obama was even awarded a Noble Peace Prize, but Obama knows deep down that he hasn't done nothing of merit to warrant any of his praise other then the fact that he is the first black person to be elected President of the United States. Let me put it another way. Ronald Reagan was praised based on his historic actions such as playing a major role in the collapse of the Berlin Wall and ending the Cold War with Russia. Obama is being praised based on the color of his skin. There is no comparison between the two. I know some people on the left are going to go rabbit once they read this. Great presidents are known for their deeds. Once again, it is what it is. Obama didn't want to go to Germany and be reminded that he isn't as great or historic as his supporters have made him out to be. Speaking of historic, here's the words from a man who became a legend on the world stage based on his actual deeds.



It's amazing what words can accomplish when they come from a strong leader.



If President Ronald Reagan was alive today to hear Barack Obama speak, I can imagine what he would tell him.

Pelosi's Socialist Health care bill passed the House.

The trojan horse beast passes the House. Once again, so much for the bill being posted online so Americans could read the bill before it was voted on. The slogan "thiefs in the night" is extremely appropriate in describing Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat hordes that voted alongside her. The final vote was 220 in favor and 215 against. One self serving Republican voted in favor of the monster bill. Republican Joseph Cao from Louisiana was the sole Republican to cross the aisle and support this horrendous bill. Cao more then likely voted in favor of the bill, because his district is hugely Democrat and was the district that was formerly represented by William Jefferson. It doesn't matter the reason, Joseph Cao needs to be added to the 2010 midterm hit list. 39 Democrats joined the 176 Republicans in opposing this dangerous bill. Nancy Pelosi "likened the legislation to the passage of Social Security in 1935 and Medicare 30 years later". Here's a funny fact about the liberals most celebrated and worshiped social dependency programs. Those programs are all BROKE and have yet to work! Their programs are adding hundreds of billions of dollars to the national debt and hurting America, yet these mental clowns actually believe that these programs are "good for America". I truly despise Nancy Pelosi. If the 48% of Americans that didn't vote for Obama wouldn't have to suffer the consequences of this terrible bill, I would say let the 52% suffer from their own ignorance. Unfortunately, that isn't going to be the case. If this bill isn't stopped in the Senate, people who exercise common sense are going to have to suffer right along side the clueless slap happy liberal drones. Anybody with a brain knows that the public option is nothing more then a poison pill to kill off private insurers thus leaving the government as the sole provider once the dust settles. In the House bill that nobody read
"it would require most Americans to carry insurance and provide federal subsidies to those who otherwise could not afford it". In other words, the government will take away a person's freedom of choice and demand they obey what they say or else. Here's another scary provision of the bill the nobody read before it was voted on, "Both consumers and companies would be slapped with penalties if they defied the government's mandates". This is how the government is going to snuff out private insurers and become the only game in town.

"Insurance industry practices such as denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions would be banned, and insurers would no longer be able to charge higher premiums on the basis of gender or medical history. In a further slap, the industry would lose its exemption from federal antitrust restrictions on price gouging, bid rigging and market allocation."

The government can lose all the money it wants covering pre-existing medical conditions and not raising premiums to offset the costs, because they can just print money. Private insurers don't have that "option". Can we say "unfair competition"? The claim about the government providing "choice and competition" is a bold faced lie. If the New York Yankees went to compete against a high school baseball team, how can the high school team compete against the Yankees? This bill if signed by Obama will cripple private insurers. That is what liberals wanted all along. No one read the bill. Liberals want to take over one-sixth of the American economy, drive the country deeper into debt, take more personal freedoms away from citizens just so they can emulate the Canadian Health Care system? This is what they admire?!



If Doctors can't charge for their services, what is the incentive for them to practice medicine? If Doctors drop out of practicing medicine, would that not create shortages among doctors using the simple principal of supply and demand?



Liberals are harmful to the health of Americans. I do agree with Barack Obama in something he said today.

Obama said "Democrats have a 70-year history of creating and defending programs like Social Security and Medicare". Obama also said that today's vote "is going to define the difference between the Republican and Democratic parties for decades."

He couldn't be more right but not in the way he thinks the American people will define the two parties after this vote and if he signs the bill into law. The vast majority of the polls show that Americans do not support this bill or socialized medicine period. Democrats do defend social dependency programs that keep people in need, grows the size of government and adds more debt onto backs of future generation. Is that something for liberals to really be proud of?

Nancy Pelosi won't allow for the 2,000+ page Socialist Healthcare bill to be posted on line before it is voted on.

Big surprise right? I remember just like it was yesterday, when Nancy Pelosi talked about leading the most honest, the most "open" and most ethical congress in American history.



Pelosi promised to allow for a 72-hour waiting period between posting health care legislation online and a final vote on the bill. FYI, the final vote in the house is scheduled for tonight, and it isn't online. Pelosi is like most if not all political elites, they feel they don't have to live up to the words they promise others. The only people they feel they are accountable to are themselves.

Is it really outrageous to compare Barack Obama to Adolph Hitler or a Nazi?

When the words Nazi and Hitler have been used by some on the right to describe Obama's policies, the left has gone insane with their fake outrage and disgust. I know many liberals suffer from brain damage either chemically induced or by being dropped on their heads when they were very young. Be that as it may, I can't believe that their short term memories have eroded so fast in such a short period of time. Have liberals really forgotten the words they've called the former resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue George W Bush?



Nah, it must have just been my imagination right?



This guy shouldn't bother trying out for America Got Talent, but he did prove that liberals are crying crocodile tears and are enormous hypocrites when they say it is mean spirited to refer to Obama as Hitler or a Nazi.

And the peaceful Muslim yelled "Allāhu Akbar" and the rest is history.

I got into a discussion yesterday on the issue of gay marriage. A half wit at best brought up scripture from the old testament that promoted violence. Another person chimed in and brought up the name of Timothy McVeigh. I guess he attempting to present McVeigh as a "radical Christian". The point the two individuals were trying to make was that Christians can be just as extreme as Muslims. There was a huge flaw in their logic. Timothy McVeigh wasn't a Christian. Furthermore, Timothy McVeigh bombed the Oklahoma Federal Building in response to the Federal government's raid on the Branch Davidian Compound. McVeigh was a far right anti government kook and not a Christian that went off the deep end. Liberals cling to Timothy McVeigh as a figure to serve in their twisted minds that somehow radical Christians exist in today's society. We all know by now what happened at Fort Hood. Barack Obama called this act a "tragedy". Obama is wrong. The act that was committed against the soldiers and civilians at Fort Hood yesterday was an act of Jihad by a Muslim Extremist. Nidal Malik Hasan killed 17 people and wounded 34 in what is now the worst military base shooting on American soil in history.



I was very busy yesterday, but I was able to catch the story as it first came on Fox News. The first thing that popped into my mind was the the suspect was Muslim before I even heard his name. Of course, the politically correct crowd would immediately have said that I was "profiling". What they call profiling, I call it following a disturbing trend. The left can't dispute the facts. At best they can deflect and try and blur the issue. It isn't Christians, Jews, Hindus or Buddhists going around killing people and blowing buildings up in the name of their gods. Like I've always said, it is what it is. It has been reported that Nidal Hasan was making anti American comments during the days leading up to his attack on his fellow soldiers and civilians. On the day of his attack, he was reported passing out Qurans.



Nidal Hasan isn't dead. He's in a comma. I say yank the plug on him, but death is probably what he wants anyway. It's probably better to deprive him of his 72 virgins anyways. I know there are Muslims who don't validate Nidal Hasan's actions, but Muslims really do need to step up and route out the extremists from within their ranks. It is estimated that the Muslim population on the planet is around one billion. If only one percent is of the "kill the infidel type". That is ten million nutty Muslims in the world that will kill in the name of their god. I said before that liberals can't dispute the violence, murder and destruction Muslim extremists have committed around the world. This is a video of Ann Coulter speaking at John Hopkins University back in 2003. Coulter laid out the case perfectly to how radical Islam can't be ignored. You'll notice that her haters couldn't attack what she said as being false, all they could do is deflect and attack her personally, just like I said liberals do when they can't counter facts.



American Flags are being flown at half mast to show respect to the victims of a deranged Jihadist. I wonder how long will the left continue to apologize for the actions of Muslim extremists. On a side note. The beltway sniper John Allen "Muhammad" will be put the death on November 10th in Virginia. Muhammad killed 10 people in Virginia, Washington DC and Maryland. John Muhammad is a Muslim covert. He was born John Allen Williams. Some to this day don't understand why Lee Boyd Malvo and John Muhammad did what they did. Only the truly naive would dare to even ask such a question.

"Defense attorneys for sniper suspect Lee Boyd Malvo presented a judge yesterday with dozens of sketches that the teen-ager scribbled in his jail cell while awaiting trial for last fall's sniper attacks - crimes that Malvo depicted in his art as "jihad" in America".

"Filled with rambling anti-American messages and hand-drawn images of Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein and a mix of characters from The Matrix movie, the drawings offer an eerie glimpse of Malvo and the possible motivation behind the sniper siege that spread terror around the nation's capital".

Lee Boyd Malvo " I would take you out at your dinner table. ... You will not escape, America. Not now, not ever".

This is a one of the reasons why knowing who's the enemies within this country is way smarter and safer then being a naive pacifist hoping to get along with people who would kill you in a heart beat just because their religious book says to do so.

Liberal logic on display: Case study Nancy Pelosi

Only a true left wing kook believer could be mental enough to somehow believe that the election night wins for the GOP is somehow a win for liberals. They lost to the people of Maine on one of their core ideological beliefs, and they lost two Governorships in two states that the leader of the Democrat Party won by huge margins just one year prior. Leave it to La La Pelosi to try and make lemonade out of spam.



I can't believe this twit was actually born in Baltimore and is the daughter of former mayor Thomas D'Alesandro. Since Nancy resides in San Fransicko, I guess some of her friends may have slipped her some major "stuff" so she could escape the reality of knowing that Democrats got spanked Tuesday night. At least when Baghdad Bob was lying about how Iraqi forces were pushing back American forces, he was entertaining. Nancy isn't entertaining when she lies. She's just annoying. Obama stumped for Corzine 6 times in New Jersey. New Jersey is an ultra liberal state that elected a conservative Republican, yet Nancy Pelosi said that Democrats won? Barack Obama carried New Jersey by 15 points one year prior. Yeah, Democrats won alright. I heard the tinfoilers talking about how they believe "Sarah Palin" got beat, because she endorsed Dough Hoffman in the New York 23rd race. If Sarah Palin was beat by her endorsing Doug Hoffman on her face book page, then Barack Obama got the living snot kicked out of him for actually campaigning 6 times for Corzine in New Jersey and multiple times for Deeds in Virginia. Either Pelosi is just stupid or she's just stupid. Winning New York 23rd isn't a big win as she wants people to think. She lied when she said it was the first time that a Democrat will hold that seat since the civil war. Where is CNN with their fact check when you really need them? Democrat Michael R. McNulty represented NY-23 from 1989-1993. So contrary to Pelosi's delusion or lying, winning NY-23 wasn't historic. It was just a congressional win. Pelosi can now resume her position of nose to glass tray and inhaling.
