Illinois G.O.P. Chairman Brady once again misses the boat
Dear Illinois GOP Chairman Brady, You deeply disturb me. You epitomize the Einstein definition of insanity! In Illinois as with many other states in this great nation you fail to realize the error of yours ways and the correlation to the election results in your state.
A few years back I had the great misfortune of having my first trip to your state being to tend to my mother in the hospital in Chicago where she took ill on a church day trip to the theater. This hospital which I won’t say the name of was in a neighborhood that looked like it was straight out of the most stereotyped Black sitcom you could imagine. You could see drug dealers on every corner, garbage everywhere and a general look of decay. This was not the gold coast image of Chicago you see on TV.
Now clearly I cannot blame you for the overall abysmal presentation that neighborhood made as a first impression of Chicago. Clearly I cannot blame you for the political graft and overall crime rampant in Chicago. I can’t blame you for the absurdly high murder rate or the ridiculously stringent gun control laws. Clearly those things are not your fault alone. However your ineptitude as your states GOP leader makes you a part of the perpetuation of the problem instead of the integral part the solution you could be.
I am a Black, female, conservative Pastor that sees nothing wrong with the Bible in one hand and a shotgun in another. It’s people like me you need to have come in and do your job. That job or a part of it as I see it is promote like minded candidates that the voters of your state can identify with and your message can resonate through. On that you missed the boat! You had the perfect opportunity to support or at the very least recognize candidates within the party who were willing to go where you won’t and say what you can’t in a key election. Shame on you.
Now yet again you are on the dock and poised to miss the boat again. You have right there in your state a member of the Nationally known Black, female, conservative group, The Last Civil Right who have yet to be recognized by you and called to be of service. Apparently the RNC recently acknowledged the error of its ways in overlooking Blacks in its overall ground game. How long will it take you?
Friend, Foe and Patriotism….The true enemy within.
The Black man is its own worse enemy, for all their talk of “selling out” they will sell out their own. Send them to the brimming fire pits of hell while applauding, listen to those of that they claim do them no justice ie: the White media, while applauding the same black TOKEN hero they literally bashed themselves through so-called leader-representation of the Hollywood actors and so-called civil rights activists. Those same activist that claimed, “he doesn’t sound black enough”, “he needs some more hood in him” “Barack where are the jobs”. Hispanics too. Lest you forget:
Let us not forget either what it really boils down to, since one of their own exalted kind spoke these words:
“I voted for Barack because he was black. ‘Cuz that’s why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them … That’s American politics, pure and simple. [Obama's] message didn’t mean sh*t to me.” ”When it comes down to it, they wouldn’t have elected a n*gga. Because, what’s a n*gga? A [bleep] is scary. Obama ain’t scary at all. n*gga don’t have beers at the White House. n*gga don’t let some white dude, while you in the middle of a speech, call [him] a liar. A n*gga would have stopped the meeting right there and said, ‘Who the n*gga said that?’ I hope Obama gets scary in the next four years, ‘cuz he ain’t gotta worry about getting re-elected.”~Samuel L Jackson interview Ebony Magazine. 2012
The divisiveness doesn’t have to come from white vs. black, black vs. Hispanic, Hispanic vs. black, it comes more so from within each race! The truth is a historically, biblical leaning towards one fraction of a populations race trying to over take and rule the others within that ethnic group. Hearing, seeing and believing the true state of anything with those that seek their own agendas is a futile endeavor. They want to believe that you are trying to sell them an agenda, instead of trying to show them the ineptness, and lack of due diligence their leader really is.
A nation can survive it’s fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive it’s treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within fre
ely, his sly whispers rustling through the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.-Marcus Tullius Cicero
Roman orator, statesman 42 B.C.
Man will always have those that seek power within its own group instead of working together and bowing down to the true ONE, the Alpha, and the Omega that holds the true power. It is far easier to create a platform of false idol-ship if you attack your own core base, divide and conquer, yet those conquering for their own selfish needs, forgets that they are the easiest to defeat, because their battle plans are weak, as weak as the foundation they are built upon. True warriors and patriots want a solid foundation of freedom, not to be standing upon a footing built upon fear, cheap trinkets of appeasement, and weak leadership. Strong leaders always rise back to the top, time is the only matter and reason, in due time all good things come to those that not only wait but FIGHT and WORK for what they believe in.
Meanwhile on the ground in this great nation we have boots on the ground that are aiding and assisting their fellow-man through disasters regardless of political affiliation, race, creed, nationality, and sexual orientation. These same freedom fighting guardians of our nation’s freedoms have boots on the ground overseas, in foreign lands that many of those whom don’t advocate for their freedoms benefit from. That is the true spirit of Patriotism, the will, desire, and courage to fight on.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…~The Declaration of Independence (selected statement by author) see full context at: http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/
“True leadership must be for the benefit of the followers, not to enrich the leader.” –John C. Maxwell
Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? ~Proverbs 1:20-22
Peace be with you.
Remembering and honoring our veterans tomorrow:
