In the course of managing this political blog and becoming involved in our local tea party group, I’ve had the honor of meeting and corresponding with several exemplary Americans who I would not have met otherwise.
One of these fine folks is Lloyd Marcus … the singer, song writer, author, and President of the NAACPC (National Association for the Advancement of Conservative People of Color). His songs include: “We The People”, “American Tea Party Anthem”, and more recently “Twenty Ten”.
About three weeks ago, I watched a video he’d just completed entitled “Lloyd Marcus: Black Conservative”. It’s a touching story of his youth discussing racism, conservatism, and the value systems that parents impart to us.
I was so moved by his openness that I felt compelled to share with him a memory regarding racism from my own youth. Until that point, I had only shared it over the years with a handful of close friends. He replied asking if he could include it in his upcoming book.
(As you may be aware Lloyd occasionally posts blog entries here at CommonSense2020.)
Before you read the following account from my childhood, please understand that it includes some racial slurs and light profanity. If either these issues concern you, please stop now. However for the sake of accuracy, it must be conveyed as it happened.
Do you remember when no one locked their home door? A convertible could sit with the top down and no-one would bother it. Families went to church together. We had prayer in school. Movies were westerns, musicals, and comedies. Every father taught his son how to use a gun. Drugs were medicines prescribed by doctors. Children were safe playing in their yards. You trusted the news media. You trusted the government. Sound like a fantasy today?
Communist leader Lenin in his strategy to attack the West said “destroy the family and society will collapse”. Now we have congressmen that want to pass laws to make spanking a child an illegal act punishable by law. The U.N. treaty says “any physical punishment or discipline could mean a prison sentence” and/or “prohibit you from taking your child to church — against their will”. It is illegal to spank a child in Finland. Many Scandinavians are serving time for spanking a child.
Texas Governor Rick Perry stated Thursday (2009-07-23) that he would consider invoking states’ rights protections under the 10th Amendment to resist the president’s healthcare plan, which he said would be “disastrous” for Texas.
Interviewed by conservative talk show host Mark Davis of Dallas’ WBAP/820 AM, Perry said his first hope is that Congress will defeat the plan, which both Perry and Davis described as “Obama Care.” But should it pass, Perry predicted that Texas and a “number” of states might resist the federal health mandate.
“I think you’ll hear states and governors standing up and saying ‘no’ to this type of encroachment on the states with their healthcare. So my hope is that we never have to have that stand-up. But I’m certainly willing and ready for the fight if this administration continues to try to force their very expansive government philosophy down our collective throats.”
This 1938 video follows the evolution of the flag of the United States from the colonial flags to the stars and stripes of today. It shows, by animation, the development of the western territories into the present states and how this development effected changes in the flag.
While flipping through the channels with my remote, I stopped on the movie, “Diary of a Mad Black Woman” on BET (Black Entertainment Television). Excellent movie. During a commercial break, they gave a news update. An announcer said, “They tried to get the Bronx kid, Sonia Sotomayor, but she beat them”. There was not one mention of Sotomayor’s controversial racist statements. Thus, ill-informed black viewers who don’t follow the news closely are led to conclude that those “evil racist white republicans” are at it again trying to block a person of color.
I wonder how BET reported the democrat’s trashing of black, Clarence Thomas and Hispanic, Alberto Gonzalez? Well, those two traitors deserved to be trashed. How dare they prosper without Affirmative Action and lowered standards contradicting the democrat’s victim-hood rhetoric. Education, hard work and character? Heck No! We can not allow such a conservative message to influence black youths. These Uncle Toms must be destroyed!
The following is an excerpt from an article by Peter Ferrara (September 25, 2001).
An American is English … or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian, or Greek. An American may also be African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Australian, Iranian, Asian, Arab, Pakistani, or Afghan.
An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan. The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them choose.
An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.
An American is from the most prosperous land in the history of the world. The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes the God-given right of each man and woman to the pursuit of happiness.
Patriotic singer songwriter Lisa Mei Norton has just released another tea party oriented song. This one is for FreedomsFirst.org, fighting for freedom and exposing corruption. The lyrics for this soulful tune are below.
America Is Under Attack:
One of the popular mantras of the Tea Party movement, “revolution is brewing”, implies that we, the people, are on the verge of starting a revolution. Although this slogan is a clever play on words, it is something of a misnomer. In reality, we ARE the American resistance, not the revolutionaries.
We ARE the defenders of the republic. We are the steadfast holdouts for freedom. We are the intractable believers in self-reliance. We are the unyielding supporters of capitalism. We are the obstinate zealots for the rule of law upon which this great nation was founded.
Make no mistake about it; we are under attack. They rapid-fire unrelenting salvos so steadily that some have inured ourselves to the ongoing injuries and ceaseless destruction.
We are under attack by equally adamant forces who strive to ‘change’ our country into a new form a government and a new type of economy. They have taken control of our banks. They have taken control of our insurance industry. They have taken control of our automotive industry.
This is a educational video looks at the types of governments that range from 0% to 100% governmental control. In the process, our constitutional republic is defined.
This video is from the freedomsfirst YouTube channel.
It was 65 years ago today (June 6, 1944), when the Allied Forces landed on the beaches of Normandy to wrest control from our WWII enemy, at “Fortress Europe”. Over the coming weeks, this battle ultimately led to Hitler’s defeat in the West. This is the official video from that period.

Note from Don Wildmon: For years I have refused to use words such as marxism, socialism, or similar words when describing our current situation. However, it is time to call a spade a spade, regardless of those who oppose label use. Rome is burning. The article below was written by Stanislav Mishin, a blogger and columnist for the Russian newspaper Pravda.
American Capitalism Gone With A Whimper (from Pravda.ru) …
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.
Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.
On May 6th on the floor of the US House, Representative Randy Forbes (R-VA) asks the questions “Did America ever consider itself a Judeo-Christian nation?” and “If America was once a Judeo-Christian nation, when did it cease to be?”.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt leads the nation in prayer on June 6, 1944 as the Greatest Generation launched its mightiest battle of the Second World War.
Twenty years ago, on June 3rd and June 4th, 1989, Tiananmen Square in Beijing China was swarmed upon by communist security officers whose purpose was to silence a student-led movement protesting, among other things, their oppressive government.
This protest actually began seven weeks before, on April 15th, 1989, after the death of a largely pro-free-market, anti-corruption government official named Hu Yaobang. Many Chinese people wanted to mourn his death because they regarded him as something of a hero, and that is how it all began, culminating on June 4th.
During those seven weeks, many of these protesters were openly discussing a principle that we almost never hear discussed even in this country — though it was this country’s foundational principle, a principle that is so profound and so complex that only a small minority of people today grasp its awesome logic. That principle is the principle of individual rights.
The word Tiananmen literally translates to “Gate of Heavenly Peace.”
The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit.
These words were spoken on May 5th, 1868, by General John A. Logan. It was the first official recognition of Decoration Day — or, as it was later named, Memorial Day — a day designed specifically to commemorate the fallen Civil War soldiers.
On that May day in 1868, during the first celebration, General James Garfield (later the twentieth U.S. President, and, incidentally, one of the last great Presidents this country has had) gave a moving speech at Arlington National Cemetery. After his speech was concluded, 5,000 participants decorated the graves of the more than 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers buried in Arlington Cemetery.
I get sentimental and emotional every year on Memorial Day weekend. I was in a writing mood tonight, so I penned this. Please pause a few minutes on Monday, specifically at 3 p.m., to mutter a sincere “Thank you” to all who have helped preserve our freedoms. Thanks.
I had a dream recently that I was in Arlington Cemetery, alone at night, wandering through the markers of the dead, searching for … I didn’t really know what.
I was confused and sad and troubled. Then a young man stepped from the shadows cast by the bright moon and hailed me, saying, “Are you lost, sir? Can I assist?”
“I don’t know,” I replied. “I don’t really know why I’m here. I know I’m not worthy to be here. Who are you? Do I know you? Somehow I feel that I know you.”
He smiled, affectionately.
“Oh, I’m unknown to most people,” he said. “And that’s okay. Everyone knows of me, but few know about me … come … walk with me.”
The 2006 election when the Democrats took over Congress and the White House in 2008 demonstrates an accumulation of problems within our government that transcends party issues. I want to address one of the major issues that still plagues the building of a coalition to restore our Republic. We have an inability to take back the government into the American people’s hands, where our voice is heard, and our vote counts. There are a multitude of reasons why our stewards of the government have nullified the constitution, the laws of our land, which is the foundation of our country. The main problem is our inability to put party issues aside and work together as a team.
At the end of this eventful year, I’d like to thank you for visiting this blog the last couple of months. It has been a delight to have researched and written these conservative-leaning posts. But, the endeavors have usurped a large amount of my time from other duties and responsibilities.
Moreover, unpublished research is leading me to anticipate a series of events for the upcoming year which consume me with dread at the thought of ongoing research. Below, you’ll find my predictions for 2009. You may want to save this article as a time-stamped MHT or PDF for comparison one year from now. You could also save it as a browser bookmark.
by LukeAmerica2020 This post and video are in remembrance of those who died in the Jonestown massacre, 30 years ago November 18, 2008. This mournful moment in our history should never be forgotten.
Jim Jones, a charismatic socialist preacher, was the American founder of the Peoples Temple, which is best known for the deaths of over 900 Temple members in Jonestown, Guyana. Also killed were nine people at a nearby airstrip and in Georgetown.
