Conservative Black Chick

“Losing it” should be President Obama’s re-election slogan. In trying to clean up after loose lips Vice-President Joe Biden’s gay marriage fumble, President Obama looks like the master of an undisciplined operation that should be dubbed clueless in the White House. After Biden forced him into a corner after his Sunday May 6^th Meet the Press appearance, Obama concluded now was the time to appease the gay lobby, rake in large campaign donations and declare his support for same sex marriage.

Demonstrating how desperate the mainstream media is to prop up Obama no matter he does, the Washington Post published a smear piece alleging Mitt Romney bullied a gay classmate in high school. This looks like a coordinated effort between the Post and the White House to distract Americans from Obama’s gay gaffe, which is beyond disturbing for a national news publication.

In his TV appearance Biden said unequivocally:  “I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women . . .are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties.” When the president of the United States repeatedly makes oblique statements that his position on gay marriage is “evolving” like a weather report, it is a PR disaster of the greatest proportion when the Vice President states just the opposite.

Within minutes of Biden’s blunder, senior White House adviser David Axelrod tweeted “What VP said — that all married couples should have exactly the same legal rights — is precisely POTUS’s position.” Suddenly, Americans are confused because Obama, Biden’s boss, never stated a position on same sex marriage. Damage control ensued and a Biden spokesperson said that’s not really what joking Joe meant.

But the mess was only just beginning. Monday morning Education Secretary Arne Duncan jumped on the gay marriage bandwagon, saying he supported it too along with Joe. This bad idea to bring another Obama official into the gay marriage fracas was probably hatched by the White House to spin Joe’s comments as “personal views” rather than a policy position at odds with Obama. But when you are the Vice-President of the United States, the American people don’t view your opinion as personal.

Later that day, White House spokesperson Jay Carney inherited a mess, he made even messier. As he got pilloried with questions from perplexed reporters, Carney spent lots of time  trying to define the words personal, evolution and the president’s “well known position” on same sex marriage. Carney emphatically stated “The President said that his views on this are evolving.  I think.”

Next a reporter asked: Is he getting ready to change?

MR. CARNEY:  Not necessarily.  I think he just said they were evolving.  And that’s at a personal level.  His views on LGBT rights are crystal-clear and this administration has taken actions that are unparalleled to support those rights.  And he’ll continue to take those actions because he thinks that’s the right thing to do.

Then this: “The Vice President spoke very clearly about the President’s policies and they’re entirely consistent with the policies that this President has supported.  He also — he talked about evolution in this country and other issues, and those were personal views,” said Carney.

From “well known” to “evolving” to “crystal clear,” Carney himself seemed confused and dazed about Obama’s position on gay marriage. Perhaps this is why Obama thought he finally had to end his evolution and declare his support for gay marriage to clean up the mess. Instead Obama made a big mistake.

Only 3% of the US voting population is gay. Obama’s ego has gotten so big, he thinks he can appease his special interest groups and people will just vote for him anyway because he’s Obama! By announcing his support for gay marriage he sent a message to other voters (blacks, whites Hispanics, independents) the millions of dollars in campaign contributions he receives from the much smaller gay voting block matter more than the 97% of the rest of the electorate.

Independents who make up 40% of the electorate want to hear about jobs not a lesson on social issues. Blacks don’t support gay marriage 55% oppose compared to 42% in favor and 95% voted for Obama in 2008. When the issue was put on the ballot in California, it was blacks who were instrumental in helping to vote it down. Blacks and black churches in Maryland have been key in securing the 55,000 signatures needed to put gay marriage on the ballot in November in Maryland.  Over the past decade, the Americans in 30 states have voted against same sex marriage when it was put on the ballot.

Catholics don’t support same sex marriage and many Hispanics are Catholic and 67% of Hispanics voted for Obama in 2008. After the Obama administration mandated Catholic organizations pay for employees birth control pills under Obamacare, it seems he’s kissed the Catholic vote goodbye in 2012 with his gay marriage evolution.

If   Republicans and Romney are smart, they will exploit Obama’s sloppy misstep on gay marriage and remind voters this is yet another ploy to distract Americans from his Obama’s awful economic. At the same time, Romney has an opportunity to woo deeply religious voters, who cannot embrace Obama’s position on same sex marriage. It didn’t take Romney three plus years to evolve into his position on gay marriage because he’s trying to unite the country around one message of “a better America” not a divided America.

Mitt Romney is finally coming into his own as the indefatigable Republican nominee. After enduring endless rounds of verbal fist fights with his opponents, Romney proved organization, message and money matter when you run for President of the United States. His victory speech following five primary wins (Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania) revealed a fiery, passionate candidate ready to take the fight to Obama and win!

As a friend told me, Mitt was “crunked.” Indeed he was. Romney is shedding his clinical veneer to reveal his passion for the job of President and why he’s the better choice over Obama. The theme of his speech “A better America begins tonight!” reminded voters Obama’s promise of hope and change turned out to be a dream gone bust. Romney added Obama’s record of failure that “has been the best Barack Obama can do but it’s not the best America can do.”

Romney highlighted how Obama conned Americans into electing him president on the merits of his personality in 2008 but little else.

“Four years ago Barack Obama dazzled us in front of Greek columns with sweeping promises of hope and change but after we came down earth after all the celebrations and parades what do we have to show for President Obama?” The answer is nothing! Over the past three and half years, Obama’s policies have delivered historic unemployment above 8%, excessive regulation, and unsustainable spending and government growth which has killed job creation and the economy.

Obama has NO record to run so as Romney said he will run “a campaign of diversions, distractions and distortions.” From day one, Obama blamed Republicans for not yielding to his demands and causing his failures. The president then distracted and divided the country by waging wars on the rich, women, students, the Catholic church, free enterprise, the Supreme Court and the US Constitution via Obamacare.

Like Romney said, “It’s still about the economy and we’re not stupid.” As the presumptive Republican nominee, Romney is the candidate of opportunity, who can lead the country into a job creating recovery not a government centric black hole in which Obama has us stuck. “We will stop the days of apologizing for success at home and never again apologize for America abroad,” said Romney.

Romney’s pledge to the American people is a stark contrast to Obama who during his first few months in office gave a speech to the Muslim world in Egypt, apologizing for America’s war on terrorism. His first days in office, Obama waged a war on success, telling Americans who do well they should be ashamed of themselves and punished by paying disproportionately higher share in taxes than all other groups.  According to Congressional Budget Office, the top 10% of earners pay 55% of all federal taxes, while almost 50% of Americans pay no taxes.

If Romney keeps shining the light of truth on Obama’s ugly record of failure, he will win in November, which is why Obama is running far and wide away from his record. Each week it seems the Obama machine manufactures a new war on some segment of the population to distract Americans from his abysmal record. Of course Obama’s perpetual domestic enemy combatant is Republicans.

This week’s war is on students and their school loans so Obama can to snag the student vote. Obama and Democrats want to keep interest rates rising from 3.4% to 6.8%, which would cost $6 billion and are blasting Republicans for worrying about how taxpayers will pay for it. Even the liberal Washington Post blasts Obama’s loan games for spending money on yet another initiative we can’t afford.

Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan  wrote Obama’s strategy is “divide and conquer, break the country into little pieces and pick up as many as you can.” Americans are tired of Obama’s war mongering. He sounds like Chicken Little screaming everyday “the sky is falling” but give me another four years and I’ll fix it. Most presidents vying for a second term at this stage in the game are touting their successes but we don’t hear that from Obama. Instead we hear Obama moan and groan how he inherited a mess but it was a job he raised $700million to win so he apparently wanted the mess.

The job of President of the United States is bigger than oneself and good presidents know how to put the brakes on their ideological egos and seek compromise from the opposing party for the greater good of the country, something Obama will never do. The job of POTUS isn’t too big for Mitt Romney because Romney’s ego isn’t bigger than the job or more important.

The more Romney talks, the better he sounds. The more Obama talks and appears on TV, the worse things get and the more incompetent he looks. Another sign of Obama’s desperation is having Bill Clinton appear in his new political ad  where Clinton effusively praises the capture of Osama bin Laden. Invoking words from Bush, Clinton says “the president is the decider in chief,” thus reminding Americans this was one of the few times other than Obamacare that Obama has taken responsibility for a decision during his administration. And it’s worth noting that were it not for the Bush administration’s enhanced interrogation techniques like water boarding, which Attorney General Eric Holder tried to prosecute CIA agents for using, Obama would never have caught bin Laden.

Records win re-elections not late night TV appearances in which President Obama “slow jams the news”, making a mockery of the office to attract young voters ignorant of his record.  No president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt has won re-election when unemployment was 7% or higher and Obama is presiding over unemployment north of 7%. It’s about the economy stupid and Americans will not be fooled again by a celebrity candidate strong on personality and weak on substance. “Romney will win in a landslide,” my friend Tony Powers recently told me. I’m beginning to think so, along with many Americans, who as Romney said, “are tired of being tired.”

Daily I receive vitriolic emails and tweets from black Democrats calling me oreo, Uncle Tom, cunt and other unsavory names because I’m a black Republican. Their tweets take on a particularly crude tone when I appear on cable networks like CNN criticizing President Obama’s policies. Evidently, blacks are forbidden from holding our first black president accountable.

While I’ve come to expect this name-calling from blacks, I was surprised when a white, Jewish, Democrat woman assailed me with a tornado of racially charged tweets declaring I wasn’t black to use @GOPBlackChick as my twitter handle. Amy Weiser described herself in her twitter account @amy_weiser as a lawyer who lives in DC. I did an Internet search on her and found an Amy Weiser who works in the Office of the General Counsel of the Department of Health and Human Services.

While I can’t be 100% certain this is the same Amy Weiser, I think it is more than a coincidence that @amy_weiser deleted her account on the afternoon of April 20, 2012 after I tweeted that I suspected  she worked for HHS. If this isn’t the same Amy Weiser, I apologize and will remove the above information regarding the HHS employee. But I did take screen shots of Amy Weiser’s tweets before she deleted her twitter account.

The series of racist tweets started with Amy telling another follower I didn’t “look particularly black.” I would love to know what makes someone look black? And does Amy have standards by which she measures people for looking Jewish? Then in her infinite wisdom, Ms. Weiser said I was nothing more than an attention whore who really looked like I had more white in me than black.

Somewhere along the way, poor Amy must have skipped US History because she would know that blacks are all shades of brown in America because of slavery. When blacks were captured and brought to America from Africa and sold into slavery, many women were raped by their white slave owners so the blood line became diluted over centuries.  Since the 1960s to present day, America also had a rise in inter-racial marriages but that doesn’t mean  someone isn’t black because somewhere in their blood line are other races.

Even more disturbing is Amy then tweeted several times about being 100% Ashkenazi Jew, implying she was somehow better than me because I wasn’t racially pure. Eugenics, racial purity talk, aka shades of Hitler and white supremacy is quite frightening no matter from whom it emanates. What’s also interesting is Amy admits she’s a Democrat, who voted for Obama in the 2008 primary. Democrats keep saying they belong to the party of tolerance and decency but Amy’s tweets are anything but decent.

Her tweets continue down the path of indecency, as she accuses me of exploiting my complexion to make money and become a celebrity. There irony is no one pays me for my blog or providing political commentary to various radio or TV outlets. If Amy were smart, she would know black women conservatives are a seismic threat to liberal establishment, which is why they try to exert their influence to keep us voiceless.

These tweets continued over two days and it appears Weiser could have been tweeting from her work computer on April 20th before she abruptly deleted her account when I tweeted she  quite possibly worked for HHS. Her behavior would be even more egregious if we discovered tax payer dollars were paying for her to tweet these racists things about me. Amy made it clear she would make no apology for her comments.

Talk about a war on women, Democrats like Amy Weiser demonstrate the rules of civility and decency only apply to liberal women but when it comes to Republican women all bets are off and it’s okay to call us whores and anything else vile they please.  I saw a bumper sticker on a car this week that said “Liberal values are moral values.” Not even close.

In an attempt to explain why a generation of women born in the 1960s and 1970s are finding themselves living lives of solitude, a male friend emailed me All the Single Ladies, thinking I’d buy into the writer’s load of crap. The 39 year old single woman spends an endless amount of ink trying to convince herself and single women everywhere they are happy living empowered lives of solitude, which couldn’t be further from the truth.

This article is depressing and full of denial. Thanks to the 1960s Feminist movement which spawned theory of patriarchy, hatred of all things male, and re-engineered traditional gender roles, American culture from academia to business world led  women could be all things to themselves: provider, wonder woman, and in some cases mothers without men in their lives. While some women may genuinely want to live alone, I believe most women, including the author, don’t want to live in solitude or be independent women.

Unfortunately, this post sexual feminist revolution compelled women to enter the work force with this mindset they should not only compete with men but act like them, out earn them and convince themselves they don’t need them. The grand result of this revolution waged by the likes of Gloria Steinem, Kate Millet, Chris Weedon, Bell Hooks and other horrid, male hating women is a generation of barren, single women because the gender roles have been thrown into chaos. Since 1976, the percentage of women in their early 40s who have not given birth has nearly doubled and marriage is on the decline. As Atlantic Kate Bolick wrote “Gloria Steinem said, in the 1970s, “We’re becoming the men we wanted to marry.” I doubt even she realized the prescience of her words.

What’s worse is liberals perpetuate this super woman, feminist fiction by attempting to slay traditional gender roles. Washington Post reporter Ruth Marcus mocked Ann Romney as “stay at home mother” while glorifying Michelle Obama as pinnacle of womanhood for “raising a family and pursuing a career.” If any political party is engaging in a war on women, it’s Democrats. Women are intelligent creatures who can decide for themselves if they want to stay at home, work, be pro life or pro choice; we don’t need Democrats trying to live our lives for us.

During my senior year of college at Georgetown University, I was forced to take a feminist criticism seminar as part of my Honors English major and hated it. I and other women in the class couldn’t understand why we were required to re-evaluate the great works of DH Lawrence, Shakespeare, Bernard Shaw and others as male demons who exploited women. Of course this couldn’t be further from the truth books like Madame Bovary and plays like Romeo& Juliet gave women a voice  reflective of the times in which they lived.

You can’t deconstruct these great literature and impose a twisted  patriarchal narrative upon them, sorry women aren’t stupid. We also had to read lots of lesbian feminist theory for the seminar, which was even more hateful of men but curiously weren’t assigned any theory written by women who denounced this feminist jihad on the arts and every other aspect of life.

Thanks to the feminist movement this rise of woman has emasculated men to “being deadbeats or players” and is well on its way to making traditional gender roles in relationships and marriages obsolete. Because women think they can do it all, men expect them to and this has turned many men into Peter Pans, who delay commitment, refuse to man up, and demand women go Dutch on dates.

A Time article Women, Money & Power glorified the new Pan trend of stay at home dads and female bread winners.  The writer notes “Danny graduated from the University of Michigan and took a job in finance, but he rebelled at the crushing hours. So in the mid-’90s, he left to become a stay-at-home dad to his two daughters.”  My first reaction was how pathetic and Danny needs to man up.

I would argue the majority of women don’t  like this role reversal and if they had guns held to their heads would admit it as much. Time writer Liza Mundy observed “One university vice president admitted that when she was dating, she took pains not to let men walk her to her car, for fear her BMW might make them feel inadequate.”

Women need to start making men feel inadequate and force them to act like men not boys again. In our quest for independence, women have made things far too easy and comfortable for men. Where women are failing is lying to ourselves about what we really want. This new paradigm where men depend upon women for economic stability is screwed up and doesn’t sound like female sexual freedom to me but a life of purgatory.

A male friend quipped recently during conversation on the topic “women make it too easy for men now and you don’t seem to have a need for us so why should we grow up.” The time has come for women who believe in traditional gender roles to give Peter Pan the heave hoe and tell him don’t come knocking again until you’re wearing your man shoes and pants. Don Draper of Mad Men certainly isn’t the perfect man but he knows what the definition of a man  is, a provider who protects the homestead, doesn’t shrink from his responsibility and when needed tells a woman “this is the way is going to be done.” Let the revolution of woman begin a new!

Over the past week, I’ve been receiving lots of hate mail from fellow Newt supporters about my comments on CNN that if Newt doesn’t win more than two contests, he needs to consider dropping out. Staff are jumping ship like fleas running from repellent applied to a dog. Newt’s campaign CFO Roberto Coquis left the campaign recently. Casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, whose family has donated $16 million to Newt’s PAC, said he thought “Newt had come to the end of the line.”

As a pledged delegate for Gingrich in Washington, DC, who cast my vote early for him, I’m not happy Newt hasn’t been winning and that’s a fact. I still maintain Newt is the best person to take the fight to Obama. As Speaker, he brought Republicans back into the majority rule in Congress after 40 years of the isolation in political Siberia. Newt worked with President Bill Clinton to balance the budget, bring unemployment down to 4% and reformed welfare. His Contract with America, “Promises made. Promises kept” isn’t like the failure of Obama’s Hope & Change, Promises made. Promises broken.

But we need to ask why Newt isn’t winning races? It can’t be just because Romney is running a negative campaign. If Newt had more money, he too could run negative ads against Romney like he did in South Carolina when his campaign had money. Newt also failed to get on Virginia’s primary ballot. Whose fault was that, Romney’s? The truth is when one runs for POTUS one must have an organized operation which in turn helps a candidate raise money so the candidate can advertise against his or her opponents. That’s why Obama raised $700 million in 2008, won the Democrat nomination and won the presidency!

Here’s what some people told me:

Marsha:  I saw your comment about Newt Gingrich on CNN…
YOU are an EMBARRASSMENT to our party, AND to Newt! I cannot believe you are Newt’s DELEGATE! I truly wonder if you aren’t part of the Illinois/Chicago regime making us the #1 state for corruption! I’m SOOO disgusted with YOU!

Crystal: You need to be SOOOO Disgusted with Newt. Sorry you feel that way. Instead bashing me and his staff who are leaving him in droves. You should direct your anger at Newt, fish rots from the head down+I’m tired of his BS. He needs to act the candidate we all believe in a winner not a loser. Winners win and don’t make excuses why they aren’t.

Mata: Can’t polive you change your position from supporting Newt , you tretor, make sure that all that support Newt know about you i well tell as many people as i can.

Crystal: “Sorry you feel that way. I feel like Newt is traitor to his DELEGATES+SUPPORTERS who stick their necks out for him+then he runs haphazard, SLOPPY campaign. Your hatred should be directed at him.”

Mata: Go to hell

The main way the nomination process works is candidates compete in primaries or caucuses to win delegates toward the magic number of 1,144. Logic tells us a candidate needs to win races to rack up delegates. This isn’t rocket science but basic math. That said there are other paths to the nomination like a brokered convention. Newt’s new strategy is making himself a “big choice convention” candidate where he will win the nomination in a brokered convention, assuming Romney arrives without the necessary 1,144 delegates.

In a brokered convention, all the pledged delegates are released and can cast their votes for a different candidate but according to RNC rules, a candidate must arrive at the convention with at plurality of delegates won across a minimum of five states, which Newt has yet to do. Yet, Newt insists he will be the GOP’s Harding of 2012.

Anything’s possible and nowhere in the rules of  running for president does it say candidates must drop out of the competition. Rather than hating me because I point out Newt’s flaw as is lack of  organization, Newties need to demand Newt man up and become the candidate we thought he was. With the lack of more wins under his belt, I’m having a difficult time understanding how Newt thinks he can woo delegates with conviction to vote for him in Tampa. If he can’t achieve the basics of getting on ballots and winning, how can we trust him with being POTUS? Organization is more than 50% of the job.

If Newt is indeed the most qualified conservative in the race, why has Santorum and Romney won more contests than Newt? Of late, Newt declared Romney needs “to earn the nomination.” Sounds like Newt needs to do some earning of his own and less talking about winning the nomination.

The time is now for Newt to either rise up or stand down. Republicans need to identify a candidate soon to take on President Obama. Otherwise we’re squandering precious dollars needed to defeat the billion dollar man in November.  Obama is the problem and this is the GOP’s race to lose.

I’ve avoided writing about the Trayvon Martin situation because liberals assume I should have an opinion because I’m black and so was Trayvon. When something happens to a black person and it garners national news attention, the mainstream media trots out “the voices of black America.” This is offensive not only because the leftist mainstream media has appointed race baiters like NAACP, Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Eric Michael Dyson as our spokespeople but also because it assumes blacks are like children who need others think for them. White people don’t have white spokespeople speaking on their behalf and would never allow the mainstream media to dismiss their ability to think as individuals.

The murder of 17 year old Trayvon Martin was tragic and needs to be thoroughly investigated. His killer George Zimmerman should be arrested and questioned along with eyewitnesses. Martin’s race could have been a motivation in Zimmerman pursuing and killing him but we don’t know. Racial profiling certainly exists; I’ve experienced it first hand and witnessed young black men dressed in suits or jeans trying to catch a cab in DC and be ignored.

Juan Williams Wall Street Journal article sums what black activists are conveniently ignoring in their outrage over a single black teen’s death that “nationally, nearly half of all murder victims are black. And the overwhelming majority of those black people are killed by other black people.”   Instead of wearing hoodies and participating in what I call hollow racial protests, the NAACP, black Congressmen and concerned citizens need to be showing outrage at the cancer called the breakdown of the American black family. Since the 1960s the crumbling black family has led to more black men in prison, greater number of high school dropouts, suspensions, etc. Finally, the biggest problem is 70% of black children are born to unwed others.

Rep. Bobbie Rush and others shouldn’t be spending time wearing hoodies on the floor of the United States House of Representatives, reinforcing negative stereotypes of the thug life (drug dealers with pit bulls, jailhouse fashion, women described as bitches and hoes and illegitimate babies in town). Juan Williams notes Hollywood glamorizes these images in movies and music videos, which has “young black people internalize it as an authentic image of a proud black person.”

“There is no fashion, no thug attitude that should be an invitation to murder. But these are the real murderous forces surrounding the Martin death—and yet they never stir protests,” wrote Williams.

Blacks organizing protests around Trayvon’s death ignore the white elephant in the room the disintegration of the black family over the past almost 50 years which is responsible for driving the black race into economic decline. In his 1965 research paper The Negro Family: the Case for National Action, Daniel Patick Moynihan then Assistant Secretary of Labor revealed the breakdown down of the black family was contributing to higher black dropout and incarceration rates and lower wealth achievement compared to whites. Moynihan warned, “The white family has achieved a high degree of stability and is maintaining that stability.  By contrast, the family structure of lower class Negroes is highly unstable, and in many urban centers is approaching complete breakdown.”

Moynihan further noted there was an alarming trend in the number of black families headed by single women and the rise in illegitimate births among blacks. In 1964, 23.6% of black births were to unwed mothers today it’s 72%. Moynihan reminded us of what holds true today, when teenagers have children they are less likely to finish high school and climb the economic ladder.

The unemployment rate for black teens in 1965 was 29%, today it’s 40%. Since the days of Johnson, Democrat policies like welfare have only worsened the problem for blacks by rewarding black women with taxpayer dollars for raising fatherless children. Moynihan’s report it reads like it was written yesterday rather than nearly 50 years ago. “In a word, the tangle of pathology is tightening,” wrote Moynihan. Indeed it is. The destruction of the black family is where blacks should be firmly directing their outrage not in hoodie protests “full of sound and fury” and achieving nothing.
