"Negrophilia: From Slave Block to Pedestal ~ America’s Racial Obsession"

... dissects the dynamic of race relations and how conscientious Americans may discern the deeper truths of these matters and thus develop healthier perceptions."

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords continues to improve after being shot during a deadly assault at an open-air town hall meeting in Tucson. However, the politicians and pundits are still taking potshots at each other, as noted in a feature by Clio. “Toxic Rhetoric Trumps Tucson Attacks: Liberals Take Aim at Palin, Tea Parties…”

Honoring Patriots: January 17, 2011

Today, we celebrate the 305th birthday of Benjamin Franklin, one of the most influential Founders of our nation. We honor him today, as well as note the observance of Martin Luther King Day. The Bold Pursuit pays tribute to the legacy of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Benjamin Franklin's Thirteen Virtues:

1. "Temperance. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation."
   2. "Silence. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation."
   3. "Order. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time."
   4. "Resolution. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve."
   5. "Frugality. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing."
   6. "Industry. Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions."
   7. "Sincerity. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly."
   8. "Justice. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty."
   9. "Moderation. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve."
  10. "Cleanliness. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, cloaths, or habitation."
  11. "Tranquility. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable."
  12. "Chastity. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation."
  13. "Humility. Imitate Jesus and Socrates."

 Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"From every mountainside, let freedom ring. When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" Martin Luther King Jr., I Have a Dream, 1963  (www.mlkonline.net)

Governor Sarah Palin posted a tribute to the late Dr. King on her Facebook Notes, re-printed on our US4Palin Syndicate page: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Toxic Rhetoric Trumps Tucson Attacks: Liberals Take Aim at Palin, Tea Parties ...”

by Clio

Last Saturday, January 8, we were jolted by breaking news reports of a gunman’s attack on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords at an open-air town hall meeting in Tucson, Arizona. Six others were killed in the assault, including nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green, U.S. District Judge John M. Roll and Giffords’ aide, Gabe Zimmerman. According to reports, 19 people were shot in the rampage by 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner and eight of his victims remain hospitalized.

Apparently, Rep. Giffords was Loughner’s target; FBI investigators found notes in Loughner’s Tucson home on which he wrote, “Die, bitch,” referring to Giffords. According to other sources, Jared Loughner has a history of odd behavior and posting aggressive comments on online gaming sites; neighbors and former classmates describe the 22-year-old as “mentally disturbed.”

The attack on Giffords (whose doctors are optimistic that she’ll survive the shooting) is still the top story on most news outlets. Sadly, this devastating and deadly event was commandeered by liberal politicos, pundits and seemingly legitimate news outlets which seized the opportunity to construct a secondary headline – another assault on Sarah Palin and Tea Party supporters.

"A False Premise of Leadership"

by Sandy Stringfellow 

It was in high school that I first read “Animal Farm,” the brilliantly satirical expose of Stalinist communism by George Orwell. Among other things, Orwell illustrated how control of language determines the outcome of events.

“Newspeak” was the modus operandi of those seeking power, with indoctrination of thought being the end result.

Although many words in our English language often have specific meanings, the impressions left upon us from the manner in which words are used in society often have as great an effect as the actual definitions themselves.

The word “racist” is thrown around quite a bit these days. In most cases, a more accurate word for the intended meaning of the insult is “bigot.”

Through political correctness, we’ve been conditioned to understand that “racist” has a greater negative political charge than “bigot,” and we respond with a more pronounced knee-jerk reaction when it is used.

Even though it would appear, in this day and age, that few people in America are actual racists, most of us have been taught to be afraid of the word.

It’s not the meaning of the word that counts, but the perceived impact of the word.

“Will Lukewarm Republicans Prevail?”

by Robert Arvay
 
This month will be the test. When the newly elected Republicans take office, they will be greeted by the old guard Republicans. The old guard will pleasantly direct the Tea Party members to the back of the room, politely put pillows on their chairs, and smilingly assure them that they should just allow the "experienced" members to run the show.
 
That will be the deciding moment.
 
The new Republicans will then either accept the old order, or they will establish themselves as the revolutionary front line. If they accept the old order, we rank and file conservative voters will soon find ourselves faced with a brutal choice. With no leadership in power, we will either seize power ourselves, or surrender our children and grandchildren to a socialist fate.
 
My desire is that the Tea Party members will assert themselves. My hope is that  at every opportunity they will pound away at the message, “The United States of America is a nation of laws, not of personal whimsy. Our Constitution is a contract between free citizens who govern themselves and are not ruled by politicians.
