“Birds were chirping” “it was a nice day” were the words of President Obama as he went on his mocking tour. After signing the Healthcare law, the president said he looked around to see if the Armageddon scenario his opponents predicted were going to take place.

Since we have inferred the Bible in the Healthcare discussion, I couldn’t help asking myself what kind of day was it for Adam and Eve after eating from the tree of good and evil? They were told by God that the day they ate of the tree they would “surely die” but they didn’t. In fact, it was a good day as well. I am sure they also heard the birds chirping. Nevertheless, we know that they died a different death and so did America.

When this nation was founded, our concept of government was unique. In the nations where the Founders abandoned, the people were the subjects and the politicians were the leaders. The founders envisioned a nation where the politicians were the servants and they served at the will of the people. That my friend is no longer the case. Not by the passage of healthcare only is that so, but with the addition of it. With healthcare along with Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, education etc—programs that were sold as safety-nets but have become entitlements– the politicians no longer need us, we need them. They are no longer our servants but our leaders. This is unique to America.

It didn’t just happen overnight; it was building for a long time. We did not become a nation of Esau’s overnight; they gradually prodded us into this direction. Today with the addition of healthcare and education there are way too many American who are dependent on the programs promoted by Democrats for our Democratic Republic to be legitimate. How are we suppose to vote against the hands that feed and take care of us even if it is cruel to us? How is a wife suppose to leave her abusive husband when he is the sole provider and she has been convinced by him that she is too stupid to take care of herself?

The story of Esau and Jacob– for those of us who remember– is applicable to what we are experiencing in America today. If you remember, Esau was the elder and with that was this concept of possessing the birthright. The American birthright was liberty and freedom, where the leaders were our servants and they needed us to be elected. Not the way it has become where we need them for our Healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Food Stamps, housing through Fannie and Freddie and education.

One day Esau came in from the field hungry and thirsty, the same way we see Democrats use people who are hungry and need food, thirsty and need water, homeless and need a home, sick and need healthcare etc as props. Jacob had the food, he could have just given it to him but he realized how little his brother appreciated his birthright. Therefore, Jacob said to Esau, if you give me your birthright, I would give you my food. One of the things liberals know is that Americans love anything free as long as they are convinced someone else is paying for it. As a result liberals pretend to be their brother’s keeper but in reality, like Jacob, they are after more than just keeping their brother.

The events that follow are very consequential, but if you are one of those naive American who don’t believe that these Leftist politicians have an agenda then you need serious help. It is trite to simply say that liberals want to take our freedoms without presenting the logic behind what we mean. It is not that liberal do not want us to have freedom, they do. The freedoms they rather us have is the freedom to engage and indulge in as many vises that we see fit in order that we are always distracted from what is actually going on in our government and society, so they can say the American people are idiots who are unaware of the issues and need them.

In understanding the progressive mind we must comprehend that their objective is to progress. They have an insatiable desire to do away with traditions for the very fact that they are traditions. I do not want to say that they are elite snobs that believe that they know what is best for us—insinuating that they do not—simply because I know there are many American who have become incapable of thinking for themselves and leading their own lives. Here is the kicker. If you are a progressive and you know what leads to utopia, you cannot afford to have people who say in the name of liberty, no thanks. This is the problem liberty poses.

Liberals have no problem with liberty as long as you agree with them. It is when you disagree. It is for this reason– the reason to progress– that liberals, who believe they know the way to utopia, can no longer be our servants; they must be our leaders. The approach they decided long ago to make this transition—the transition to be our leaders rather than our servants—was by imposing on us the belief that that our economic needs –food, clothing, shelter and healthcare along with education—were no longer needs but rights. Rights that those in government—I mean the Democrat party—have an obligation to provide for us.

Going back to Esau; what we find is a guy questioning what point is a birthright if he is dead? It is the same thing Americans are saying; what is the point of liberty if I don’t have healthcare, or food to eat, or a roof over my head, or I can’t pay the bills, or if I didn’t save for retirement? This questioning is what the Democrats have convinced Americans is the logical and pragmatist attitude we should all have.

An attitude no doubt; but what we cannot say is that this country did not die a different death. The words of our founding fathers were instead, give me liberty or give me death.

America’s democracy has been compromised even further. Democracy is not having the ability to vote; rather it is having the freedom to vote any which way you want. A two party political system, as is the case in the United States, where one party creates programs that entangle more than fifty-percent of Americans, serves only to guarantees a skewed election. Our beloved democracy has been reduced to voting to get you basic needs provided for. That is not Democracy.

There actually is a legitimate reason why very few blacks are in the Republican Party. Those like Keith Olbermann who seem very sincere in asking why, should take a good look in the mirror, because you have scared them away, not the Republican Party.

The simple answer is, when the Democratic Party decided to take the necessary steps in reasserting itself from being the party of slavery, segregation and Jim Crow they had two options before them. Option number one was to admit that they were on the wrong side of history by being in favor of slavery and segregation and the second option was to embark on a misinformation cascade to malign the Republican Party. If you were wondering what option those wonderful Democrats took, it was the latter.

Using Alinsky type tactics, they made it their duty over the last 40+ years to malign and ridicule the Republican Party as racist. They convinced black people that the ideology that is conservatism is a racist ideology.

Some of the stunts they pulled included, but were not limited to, dressing up in the white KKK hood and attending Republican and conservative speaking events.  Whenever the speaker made a conservative point, they would cheer in front of the cameras. In addition, whenever legislations were passed, they would send nooses to Democrat representatives. These and many other things they would do, knowing that the “lapdog media” would say that it was the Republicans doing it.

What was the Republicans response in the midst of all of this? They had an opportunity to nip it in the bud, but instead they turned the other cheek, shrugging that we were the party of Lincoln, no one would ever believe that racist are in our party. They were wrong. After many years of relentless criticism, the lie stuck and now the Republican Party is stuck with a perception of being a racist, sexist, homophobic party.

Now that the Olbermann-Left of the world know that their job has been a job well done, they question “why are they so few blacks in Republican Party?” You scared them away, that’s why.

We have to stop pretending that they are sincere in asking. They malign the Republican Party as racist, then they asks why the people of that race do not want to associate themselves with a party that they believe have people who hate them.

The other thing that they have done is in convincing black people that any black person who admits that they are Republican, that that individual is equivalent to those blacks who sold our people into slavery. Therefore, if a black man is vocal about being a Republican; other blacks are encouraged to criticize them as being Uncle Tom’s and sell- outs.

The Left ensured that they covered all the bases.

I know of very few blacks who want to endure the hassle of being criticized as an Uncle Tom. Conservatives blacks are in a psychological slavery and refuse to be vocal. This attitude by liberals proves that they cannot afford for there not to be some form of coercion to get black people to vote Democrat or at least to not be vocal if they are conservatives. The antiquated mentality that says, the black man is free to vote however as long as they vote Democrat.

Many blacks are literally convinced that an ideology that existed since the days of Plato and Aristotle– one that believes that the state should take care of us and the other who believes the state is inept in loving and taking care of us, respectively– is racist towards African-Americans.

Therefore, a black-man who is intellectually persuaded by conservatism over liberalism is somehow the equivalent of those blacks who sold our people into slavery. This is the doing of the Olbermann’s of the world. This is the extent to what they have done, and now here they are asking, with this sense of sincerity, “why are they very few blacks in the Republican Party?”

California proposition eight is a good example of the simple fact that there are many African-Americans who are Democrats more so because they don’t want to be associated with a party that is perceived as racist– the Republican party–than them being in lockstep with the Democratic Party. I know of many African-Americans who prefer to consider themselves independents, conservatives, libertarians– anything but Republicans. They oppose the Democratic agenda while at the same time they do not want their commitment to things black being questioned.

As long as the maligning and the racist perception persist, blacks will do what many have been doing; revealing their true identity in the safety and security that the voting booth offers. They do not have to advertise being Republican to be one.
