The Sleeper of South Carolina

I don’t get South Carolina. All of their racial injustice in the past is close to those of my state of Mississippi. South Carolina has been in the news for the all the wrong reasons.

…..Sanford taking trips to Argentina to see a mistress. (Man with all those small towns in South Carolina, you could have flew her to an undisclosed location and pampered her in the States, bad player move.)

….The Joe Wilson “You lie” while the president is doing a speech. (I am sorry let a black person, let alone any person would have done that to the past 43 presidents, then you wouldn’t have to worry about next election. You would have been sweet-chinned down to president podium.)

….Bloggers banging candidates – Seriously, South Carolina have a real problem with infidelity, or it is just the politicians

…..People calling people derogatory names- Come on, it’s SOUTH Carolina. That is like saying “hey” in parts of the South.

…..Alvin Greene – A “Feel Good,” “ Underdog,” and “Rocky Balboa” story that is too good to be true, even with his own party.

So out of all this Black Republicans may have the person that could represent them (the reason I say that is because most (97%) think that most African Americans “which their skin color resembles” are everything negative). His name is Tim Scott.

(An Ace Afterthought: Is it me, or Tim Scott has literally no diversity on here. He could have at least found one or two people of a different race on this commercial. It looks like "Leave It To Beaver Just Met Mr. Tibbs.")

I don’t know who is Tim Scott is but guy actually reminds me of another black conservative that was in Congress. His name is J.C. Watts. Check out some of his views.

On Create Jobs:

As a small-business owner and entrepreneur, Tim understands that business prospers when government gets out of the way. Tim has never voted to increase taxes, because he believes that your hard-earned dollars belong in your pocket, and in our economy – not in a government spending program. He will take these values with him to Washington, and will never forget that his first priority is to protect and create good jobs.

Verdict: Pretty good.

On Healthcare Solutions

President Obama’s health care bill taxes too much, spends too much, is bad for our health care, and is unconstitutional. Tim Scott will fight against government takeover of health care.

Despite our problems, the U.S. healthcare system is the envy of the world. People come from all over the world to be trained in our medical schools, to be treated in our hospitals, and to benefit from our pharmaceutical products and medical devices. Let’s not lose what is good about our health care system.

Tim believes in targeted, common sense reforms that will make health care more affordable, reduce the number of uninsured Americans, and increase the quality of care at a price our country can afford. Medical decisions should be made by patients and their providers, not by Washington bureaucrats. Tim will fight to prevent insurance companies from interfering with the physician-patient relationship, eliminate unnecessary hassles and unfair payment practices, and fight for reimbursement decisions that are based on patient care, not on economics.

Verdict: So you think that not every American need some sort of healthcare…Not a good look, Tim

On Protecting Our Borders

Tim will make strict immigration reform a top priority in Congress. He will fight to remove the incentives, like health care and education, which attract illegal immigrants to our state. Tim will also make sure our state law enforcement agencies are given the proper training and tools they need to enforce immigration laws. Tim is committed to strengthening penalties for employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants.

We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. Tim will work to promote patriotic assimilation by making English the official language of government, and insist that new immigrants learn English.

Verdict: English as the official language is cool, but that Arizona thing you are losing cool points.

The rest is really something that I expect a republican to say. He never said anything about education which is red flag. The reason is that without education, all those issues are useless. the endorsement of Sarah Palin is another red flag (I guess she is post racial afterall.....who am I kidding? This woman will still call Mr. Scott the "n" word if he don't fall in line.) , but he does woo me over with the jobs situation.

My thing if he wins, He is going to have to balance his beliefs and others things. Good luck to you on that one Tim.

Do you think Tim Scott will hit one out the park for Black conservatives, or pull an Angela McGlowan and strike out bad? How do you see Tim Scott if he is a representative of the South Carolina 1st district?

Tim Scott for Congress

Who Owns America?

Today after doing programs and works on my class, I did a daily read on my newspaper as usually, I always find myself going to a local reporter blog all the time call “Journey to Justice” by Jerry Mitchell. Jerry is an investigative reporter for the Clarion Ledger and he has been doing this for 4 months now. He got a piece on his blog talking about the aftermath of the healthcare reform overhaul signed by President Obama and why there is so much rage over this. He hit this paragraph along with Leonard Zeskind , president of the Institute for Research and & Education on Human Rights, on the head with this one.

Much of the rage spilling over from the health care debate has little to do with public policy.It’s all about who owns America. To quote them, they want their country back.

Sometimes change is something that we have to just accept. The Tea Partiers are people who cannot accept change. Check this out.

You have been training on the job for 4 years. One day, A new boss comes in and start changing things around. Now you can tell him all you want how this job is done, but at the end of the day, he want things done either his way or the highway. You pout, get mad, snicker, tell rumors, and even plot on how to get your boss fired until one day either you are fired, quit, or have changed. That is how America is now. Most people have learned to adjust while others are still griping at something that is not going to change until either they learn to live with it or now. I can tell you that growing up in a town where in the 60s, 70s, and 80s a rest- haven was for tourists to the days of now where historic sites are hanging on a string (no pun). You have people that cannot accept that change did come and times have outgrown either you or the person next to you. You are sacred because the things that you are use to is dimishing and your privileges are not what they use to be. So the question is….

“Who owns America?”

The answer is “We all do. If you were born here, or even became a citizen here. You own a piece of what is the greatest country in the world.”

Tea partiers need to know that violence to one does not help it and lies makes it worse. Most of the talk show pundits do not come to projects, surburbs that people have been trying to take back, and small towns that are run down either because of people hatred of their skin or living. America is not Ozzie and Harriet (for those who don’t know what I am talking about, google that one). It is the places where dreams can come true if you make them, but you have to earn it. Even Barry “Mr. Conservative” Goldwater said the following quote in 1964.

"Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice.I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

The beauty of the very system we Republicans are pledged to restore and revitalize, the beauty of this Federal system of ours is in its reconciliation of diversity with unity. We must not see malice in honest differences of opinion, and no matter how great, so long as they are not inconsistent with the pledges we have given to each other in and through our Constitution."

(An Ace Thought: Don't you love how many Republicans misread this quote?)

So when some Tea Partier ask you “Do you want to take America back?”

Tell them, “America has never left me, I just adjusted to what America is offering me.”
