Closet Conservative Comes Out of the Closet

I have been a closet conservative for more years than I can remember.

I’ve also been a Libertarian – which, actually, may be the same thing – before I had even heard of the term.

But I’m done with pretending to go along with the flow. My “out” moment came last year when I declared before one and all that I would not support Obama because I felt he would be dangerous for America. And, yes, I’m patting myself on the back for being right. He’s a man of magnificent words and exquisite delivery, but he’s a danger. And because of what people perceive him to be, he could be more racially polarizing than any other president in the history of this country.

As stated before, in my opinion he’s not even an American. Just hand over the genuine birth certificate, Obama! What’s the problem? Why the scramble to keep everything carefully hidden? All it would take is one authentic American birth certificate to dispel the birther “ravings.” Unless, of course, it doesn’t exist.

There. I’ve come out officially as a “birther,” which, I believe, is supposed to be a slur sufficient enough to shut up those who demand to see proof that this man is qualified to be president. Those same people who slur would absolutely be horrified if someone were to do surgery on them who didn’t have medical credentials but froth at the mouth when those of us who doubt Obama dare to question his authenticity. Hypocrisy, thy name is liberal.

But I digress.

At any rate, I wanted to start building a list of other black conservatives for you to check out. I needed to check them out just to make sure that I’m not the only thinking black person out there. The embarrassments of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson with their continuous victim mentality haranguings are way past the sell by date. They need to shut up, sit down, and let the black people who Dr. King addressed start to move in this country.

What do I mean by that?

I will elaborate on this later, but in the days of segregation, black people had to depend on their own ingenuity in order to make a living. My grandfather’s brothers had their own businesses. My grandfather had a small farm where food was grown, and in spite of the racial oppression of the times, supported his family through the sweat of his brow.

Every black person of my generation remembers married grandparents having to work – whether it was as maids, butlers, business people (something you’ll never hear about), doctors, lawyers, military – and had pride in doing so. Were things racially bad? You bet. I experienced some of it in my childhood, and it wasn’t pretty. I had a big mouth, and am very happy that even then, lynching a five-year-old girl probably would have been politically disastrous for the real racists in charge.

My point is that creative black people were able to make a difference. Our history of invention, business, and self-reliance is one that the Sharptons and Jacksons of the world would have us forget. Can’t be a victim if you know that you can make your own way. And if you can make your own way, you certainly don’t need them. Dr. King was leader enough and accomplished what had to be done.

The life of a black conservative is a lonely one. I work hard to make a living – with my brain no less – and am excoriated by the Obamaphiles and ignored by the mainstream media (MSM). But I’m not alone. Keep an eye out on my links. I want to link to as many black conservative, libertarian, 2A (that’s Second Amendment), freedom-loving sites that I can. And not just black. But to any sites who love freedom and who think that those of us who are like-minded – whatever our race, color, or creed – should hang together before this nation goes completely down the tubes.

Because I fear that we’re living in the same type of history that took place in the years before Adolph Hitler came to power. It’s truly frightening.
