<p>This is an open letter to Senator Rubio because he's allowed himself to be side-tracked from responsible government, to this issue which has stopped his political future. The Democrats are a crafty bunch, and Senator Rubio has fallen like a lamb at the slaughter. They have effectively caused him to separate himself from his base.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dear Senator Marco Rubio,&nbsp;</p>
<p>When I met you in Lake City- while you were still the long-shot, I explained that people like myself are becoming active because politicians from both parties have stopped listening to the people they want to represent&ndash; and you inserted "or I'll hear from you" finishing my thought for me.&nbsp;</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.theboldpursuit.com/patriotic-perspectives/rss-comments-entry-33919122.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>All Americans Panthers Claw for Everybody's Liberty!</title><dc:creator>Clio</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 10 Jun 2013 22:34:48 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.theboldpursuit.com/patriotic-perspectives/2013/6/10/all-americans-panthers-claw-for-everybodys-liberty.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">688271:8047659:33887277</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.theboldpursuit.com/storage/a all amer panther.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1370903836564" alt="" /></span></span>by Cap Black</p>
<p>The above tweet and attached logo represent, along with this blog-post, a loaded concept I feel no less than the Lord of Abraham divinely downloaded into my fertile imagination.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Why would an American, especially one with a permanent suntan, want to associate himself with an image which&nbsp;evokes memories of armed 1960s militants who weren't racists or 21st century armed bigots who are???&nbsp;</p>
<p>My being a conservative and a supporter of police/community unity where possible can easily&nbsp;be swept aside in&nbsp;possible rush to judgment where fellow conservatives could assume I'm another Black racist seeking his sights upon them.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Fortunately, the great feedback I&rsquo;ve gotten proves my American sisters and brothers of a lighter color can watch a video without jumping to conclusions and some have even asked if Whites can join.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Imagine my joy at telling them, &ldquo;Yes&rdquo; and re-stating that All American Panther conservatives come in all colors and don't&nbsp;Jim Crow&nbsp;folks. It's an attitude that comes in all packages!&nbsp;</p>
<p>This wasn't even meant to be an organization; it was a celebration of how Americans who claw for liberty for everybody should be recognized. Today's oppression has become integrated so the only effective response is an integrated one!&nbsp;</p>
<p>Today government has unleashed a COINTELPRO style political spying campaign against conservative activists and organizations. Under a future Republican president, the same could happen yet again.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now's the time to legally, ethically claw our way to create&nbsp; a government which doesn't punish beliefs and balance this advocacy by opposing rampant street crime which also threatens society.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We're catching it on both ends and can't afford to be passive in the face of such a two front criminal assault!&nbsp;</p>
<p>That's where this All American Panther Conservative attitude comes in.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We've got to claw our way&nbsp;on behalf of everybody's&nbsp;liberty or all of us will lose our freedom, from one coast to the other.&nbsp;</p>

<div id="_mcePaste">As hyphenations ponderously land before the title of "American" let me add my entry:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div></div>
<p>HUMAN American!</p>
<p><a href="http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-982427 " target="_blank">http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-982427 </a></p>
<p>Obviously, we're all human... that's the point. As humans born or legally arrived on these shores I submit that ethnic cheerleading pom poms should be thrown "in the dust bin of history" to quote myself from the above video.</p>
<div></div>
<p>Always retreating to the lowest group denominator costs America peace and opportunity, two things she can ill afford during a protracted recession. Each of us has unique ethnic, regional and religious alliances which I'm not diminishing for an instant.</p>
<p>I am opposing balkanization which too often occurs when folks decide their group is more important than the American whole comprised of all groups.</p>
<div></div>
<p>This doesn't include confronting legitimate discrimination. Its both moral and practical to oppose negative group assumptions imposed upon individuals. In my case, I call it, " Jim Crow Lite " which means bias based upon a low opinion of Black people.</p>
<p>Advocating a secular culture which centralizes ones " Americanity " to invent a phrase, interests me.<span class="full-image-float-right ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 250px;" src="http://www.theboldpursuit.com/storage/a%20human%20american.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1370381077636" alt="" /></span></span> Emphasizing a marketplace which doesn't have a litmus test means more can enjoy its opportunities.</p>
<div></div>
<p>Human American isn't a cute catch phrase. It's a challenge to genuinely promote a non-sectarian, secular American culture where all diverse strands of our national tapestry are given equal access to its promise.</p>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">We're all human. We're all Americans- including those who don't see themselves as Americans.</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<p>Let that be our prime focus as we navigate stormy waters toward tomorrow.</p>

<p>Self-righteous liberals (is there any other type LOL) labeled me "racist" for daring utter heresy like supporting New York's "Stop &amp; Frisk" policy and suggesting that foreign born Muslims should be closely watched.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Steps like these make groups clean up their culture; hold rogue members either in check or work with authorities to oust them. As I say, "if you won't govern yourselves, others will do it for you!"&nbsp;</p>
<p>The London beheading underscores an unpleasant truth that some who come to the West don't have its best interests at heart. For the sake of balance, I now state Western countries also produce homegrown malcontents so as not to cast aspersions en masse upon immigrants.&nbsp;</p>
<p>These horror show tactics must be denounced, especially by the racial and religious communities from which these attackers hail. Conspicuous silence by Black Britons, particularly Muslim ones, sets their cause back as the rest of society wonders why... or draws very grave conclusions.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As an American, I can't help but wonder if two radicalized Black men had done the same to a US service member, how would my community react? Would the liberal civil rights hierarchy and spokes persons lift every voice as a chorus defending civilization or would they impose the usual gag order about criminals resembling us?&nbsp;</p>
<p>Tough call. Given the crickets chirping when urban streets explode with fratricide, I'm not too confident.&nbsp;</p>
<p>My vantage on this case is richly informed by the role Islam plays in Black communities globally and how generations of socialism throughout the African Diaspora has conditioned many to erroneously view vandals as victims.</p>
<p>This tragedy was a heads up to the British and every nation fighting jihadis that expected savage shock and awe tactics reached a low reserved for distant lands.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our task is not giving handfuls of haters (with sizeable Amen corners) victory by allowing fear to overwhelm us.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Take this grisly heads up at face value and treat this enemy how he deserves to be treated.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Rose colored glasses and kid gloves should be removed in favor of far more appropriate tools.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This beheading is a heads up we dare not ignore!&nbsp;</p>

She's the Educational Outreach Director for our organization, the Frederick Douglass Republicans- one of few GOP groups I can say I'm part of without wincing.<br /> <br />This question can be put to any American trying to hold onto shrinking sanctity as bad headlines and worse actions brutally intrude. <br /> <br />Asking this question is one way we can hold each other up under the weight of broken promises and dreams raining down on our morale like deadly hail.<br /> <br />The individual must shoulder his burden- that's a central truth of conservatism.<br /> <br />Its necessary counterpart is mutual aid, freely helping those who may falter while shouldering their personal burden. Mutual aid is the compassion manipulative government pretends to offer while redistributing wealth at gun point.<br /> <br />As the 2014 congressional mid term elections near, we should check on each other's liberty more frequently and unite to see how many liberty lovers we can either keep or send to Congress.<br /> <br />The president doesn't know us; nor does the governor or mayor. Only we know each other and as such should help each other stay the course in trying times.<br /> <br />This daily dialogue strengthens our freedom where it's weakest and is outside the grasp of distant, disinterested politicians and political committees.<br /> <br />In a phrase, how's your liberty today?  <br /> <br />Your answer creates America's future.<br /> <br />Cap Black The Hood Conservative</p>

<p>While this isn't partisan, one shouldn't be surprised that many non-ni$$as happen to be conservative or at least very moderate.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dr. Ben Carson readily comes to mind, a Black male super star whose life&rsquo;s work saves lives instead of glorifying destroying them. <span class="full-image-float-right ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 200px;" src="http://www.theboldpursuit.com/storage/DrBenCarson.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1366059527854" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>The non-ni$$a movement is rooted in the concept that we govern ourselves, not (un)popular culture nor a government which needs our dysfunction to control nearly an entire demographic&nbsp;</p>
<p>Defiantly defending old school values is the glue which unites non-ni$$as. We've weighed the new urban death culture of deepening violence and vulgarity and found it wanting.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We're not waiting for some magic spokesman or politician to uplift us &ndash; we've got that covered.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The GOP Establishment is moving at warp speed to reload itself to attract a more liberal voter than what was once considered its base.</p>
<p>The term libertarian is being bandied about, but perhaps "liberal-tarian" is more accurate.</p>
<p>Establishment Republicans don't want to appear liberal. Seeming openly socialist is the last thing they want - at least until the 2014 Mid Term results are tallied.</p>
<p>That's why so many warm to libertarianism, at least on social issues like Gay marriage and drug legalization, where they feel they can woo away Obama voters.</p>
<p>They fear the president's two victories presage a post- modern, Roosevelt-style coalition which will have Democrats in the White House for generations.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.theboldpursuit.com/patriotic-perspectives/rss-comments-entry-33268399.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Constitution demands Court uphold California law</title><dc:creator>Clio</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 05 Apr 2013 14:00:55 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.theboldpursuit.com/patriotic-perspectives/2013/4/5/constitution-demands-court-uphold-california-law.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">688271:8047659:33251889</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>By Jim Davis</P>

<p>As one who has worked in the elements under some of the most extreme conditions offered in various regions of these 50 States, often while part of emergency response crews during floods, forest fires, and in hurricane and tornado rescues and clean-ups...the only weather condition that has ever made me literally whine, has been the wind.&nbsp;</p>
<p>After hours of working in a gale force wind that NEVER lets up, a force that, in time, becomes THE main protagonist working against your success in whatever you are originally there for, the "little caveman", that primal carrier of the survival gene, is yelling in the back of your head, "GET ME OUT OF HERE!!" You learn, early on in life, when to shut him up, or, at the least, diminish his volume, and when to heed him, quickly.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>But you can't leave, because what you're doing is so important that it outweighs your personal pain and misery.&nbsp;</em></strong></p>
<p>THAT is exactly what it's like to be an unapologetic Conservative in a Liberal/Socialist ruled society. The constant bombardment from every major social vehicle, maligning and diminishing everything that you believe in, and stand for...like an unrelenting gale force wind. Never ending, and always working to wear you down and beat you, bloody and defeated, from the field of the ideological battle.&nbsp;</p>
<p>YOU know what I'm talking about. You've figuratively picked up the falling flag when the last carrier was going down under the societal barrage, and you've pressed on no matter what. Whether it was on Facebook, in blogs, emails, or at the darn dining room table at the big family Thanksgiving Day dinner, arguing with Cousin Joe who went to the "Occupy" rally and thinks Capitalism is the problem.&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>We've lost friends, and in some cases, fallen out with family, along the way. Our war's collateral damage.&nbsp;</strong></em></p>
<p>Many of us have called, e-mailed, and written, our mainly amoral and arrogant, so-called, Representatives. We've gone to rallies and Town Halls...and been universally, unremittingly, and mercilessly insulted, mocked and maligned, for years on end.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sarah Palin is the quintessential, and most famous, recipient of the Lefts unending abuse. While we brave gale force winds, she routinely battles in hurricanes. She's one of my Conservative Hero's for her inspiring bravery in the face of it all.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We've sat down for some "escapism" TV, only to be subjected to liberal ideology jammed on us from a flippin' sit-com, or listened to newscasters liken your upstanding, hardworking, God-Fearing selves to terrorists. We've had to figure out which movies are just too disgustingly anti-God, or country, to stomach, until many of us have just written off Hollywood altogether, vowing they will never get another dime of our money.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So yesterday, it occurred to me that it would be nice to be a Liberal/Progressive/Democrat/Socialist/Communist/Statist/Homosexual/Atheist/Black/muslim/Hispanic/Felon/Abortionist.&nbsp;</p>
<p>After all, if you are, then no matter how stupid a comment that you make, everybody that's anybody in the current overall power structure will fawn all over it, and spin it to mean something very deep and profound, while laying a figurative laurel wreath upon your brow, and proclaiming you a genius.&nbsp;</p>
<p>You will then become a national hero, get the Nobel Peace Prize, write a book (via a ghostwriter), have a movie made about your life, and retire at the age of 33 with $100,000,000 in the bank.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Not only all of that, but you get to be above the law that we mere mortals tremble under, AND you get to be smarmy and superior in all of your actions and dealings, with the likes of us, for the rest of your life.&nbsp;</p>
<p>You have to admit, it would be nice.&nbsp;</p>
<p>But, in the final analysis, I know the difference between basic right and wrong. I know what kind of a country should be passed on to the children and grandchildren...and I know what is pleasing, and not pleasing, to God.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So, I'm committed, no matter how fierce the wind gets, I will do my humble, human best, to brave it...because the battle, and the eventual victory, is more important than me or my comfort.&nbsp;</p>
<p>God Bless Us All,&nbsp;</p>
