As we celebrate the worship of the creation rather than the Creator–Earth Day–I could not help thinking of yet another issue on which the Republican Party is tone deaf. The leadership is seemingly incapable of clearly explaining that though they do not believe in man-made global warming they do agree that we have a duty to be good stewards of the environment. Instead of making that distinction and taking that stand, they have altogether abandoned the environmental issue.

At the heart of the Green Revolution, there are two separate issues: the need to preserve and protect our environment and our resources and the agenda of the Communist Fascist Left whose objective is to “control” but not “own the means of production.”

We have always understood Communism from the perspective of “owning and controlling the means of production.” While we were asleep with this definition, the Communist evolved. In hindsight, it is no longer feasible nor was it even wise to own the means of production. The New-Left—the evolved Communist– have rightfully realized that property rights means being able to do with your property as you wish. Thus, their intent is not to own it; rather control our ability to use what is—or was—ours. In usurping the Green Revolution with cap and trade and global warming, their intent is to exert total control of every aspect of the world’s means of production without ever having to own it. This is the Left’s endgame when they guilt the world into thinking that we are causing global warming and the only way to preserve our Earth and our existence is to give them the authority and control.

The need to preserve and protect our environment and its resources is the legitimate cause of our generation. It has been usurped by the Left who have a different agenda and the Republican Party only emboldens the Left by abandoning this legitimate aspects of the cause. Green is not only universal, it saves people money. Appropriate use of water, recycling, energy efficient equipment, ensuring that your doors and windows are properly sealed etc. all save the average American household hundred’s of dollars every year. We do these things because it is wise; not because the Earth is in need of saving.

Do I believe in climate change? Of course I do. Pre-Ice Age, the Earth experienced climate change that brought about the ice. Post-Ice Age, the Earth also experienced another climate change that created the atmosphere that we currently enjoy. The debate is not whether climate change occurs; rather what contributed to a 1° uptake? In light of what the Earth has previously gone through prior to the SUV’s and fossil fuels, I am reluctant to be alarmed by 1° uptake in global temperatures that has remained steady since 2008.

The deceit of Climate-gate, where we learned about the lengths to which the Left would go to create the fear necessary to give them control over all of the world’s means of production was squandered because the Republicans failed to ever have a strategy to be on the offensive of any debate. The Republicans failure to act on this issue has allowed the Left to dust themselves off, when they should have instead lost all credibility. Those of us who believe in preserving our Environment but do not believe in the global warming disaster scenario need a voice. However, I am afraid the Republicans are so clueless they don’t even know we exist.

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.
