war long black
For far too long we've allowed the other side to paint us as racist, as sexist, inhumane war mongers - well, today as a conservative black Republican and former solider, I'm here to set that record straight.
country memorial-day thinking
While there are towns and cities still planning Memorial Day parades, many have not held a parade in decades. Some think the day is for honoring anyone who has died, not just those fallen in service to our country.
compassion independence together
Conservatives understand that the power that binds our republic together is fierce independence held high on the shoulders of compassion.
thinking law needs
Well, I think we need to have attrition by enforcement. We need to secure our borders. We need to enforce our laws.
country giving asks
When did 'Ask not what your country can do for you' become 'Ask only what your country will give you'?
thinking wind voice
I think that there is a changing wind. There are black conservatives out there, and their voices need to be heard.
book law immigration
Quite simply, federal laws already on the books aimed at stopping the flow of illegal immigration must be enforced. Furthermore, states must be given the resources necessary to confront the problem, which includes strengthening the border patrol.
military years levels
I spent 22 years in the United States military, so I'm a pretty strategic level thinker.
suicide thinking tolerance
I think we have to understand that when tolerance becomes a one-way street, it will lead to cultural suicide. We should not allow the Muslim Brotherhood or associated groups to be influencing our national security strategy.
mean florida house
The Republicans in the House and Senate took the district that I firmly represent, 22 in south Florida, from a D plus one to a D plus five almost a D plus six district, which means you are given a five to six percent registration advantage to Democrats. They drew in more Democrats into the district I represent.
rights civil-rights legislation
It was the Democrats who were against civil rights legislation
thinking
I don't think there's anything divisive about me.
country thinking differences
I think the difference the Jimmy Carter presidency and the Obama regime is navet and maliciousness. I think this is purposeful maliciousness. That's why what you're seeing now in this administration. I don't think they care for this country. And I think they're trying to make it into some kind of third-world socialistic cesspool. I think they are willing to get in bed with any dictator or despotic ruler that they see.
years america government
Every year, thousands of Californians flee that populous paradise for tax-eased small government oasis of America's red states.
