I find sad irony in the Mia Love situation . She is a black
mayor in Utah who spoke at the Republican convention Tuesday night and brought
the house down. There was an immediate ugly personal backlash directed at her
from segments of the left. She was called Aunt Tom and many other very ugly
epithets I will not repeat. She was not really harmed, quite the opposite, as
she raised a great deal of money during the hours after she spoke, but the
Democratic Party was harmed. The Dems act like they OWN black Americans, and
any who dare to break from the “group think,” and speak against the ideology of
Democratic Party are subjected to taunts and vile attempts at discrediting
reputations. Slavery is a thing of the past in the Republican party! The irony for me with these types of
attacks on prominent independent black
citizens who identify with conservative issues and the Republican Party is that
they represent an ugly form of slave mentality or mafia threat. “If you leave our plantation we will take you
down!”
For me, Freedom means never being fearful of thinking for
yourself or speaking your mind.
The Republican ideology
embraces the American dream of self-reliant achievement while the left espouses
victimization and the thought that only with government help can you advance.
This point was driven home again by the early life stories of Condoleezza Rice
and New Mexico governor Susanna Martinez and Mia Love. These women have risen to positions in
government which seem unlikely to many considering where they started. They embody the American Dream! That American
Dream has always been the Hope that motivated the citizens of this country, and motivated even those in countries where such
possibilities do not exist.
Under the leadership of President Obama that American Dream has
been tarnished. Rather than instilling
pride in this country, he publically disparages America and often does this
while on foreign soil. He makes us feel
incompetent, constantly sending the message that we are dependent on Government
to think for us and take care of us.
While this may be enticing to
those who have drunk the Victimization koolaid, it is contrary to the American
Dream which motivated those who built this great country. Instead of encouraging success for all, he
uses achievement as a wedge to stir class hatred.
Kuddos to the parents of Mia Love, Susanna Martinez, and Condoleezza
Rice for instilling that American Dream
in their young daughters so they could succeed against all odds to become role
models for following generations.
Vote very carefully this November!
