The word “Santorum” doesn’t appear in my local newspaper this morning but presidential candidate Rick Santorum could be leader of the free world or should I say the less free world. While Gingrich and Romney are presidential material, “President Sanatorium” scares the daylights out of me because he is small-minded in my opinion. Santorum has been [...]

PBS’s Slavery By Another Name
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, black history, Blacks, PBS on February 14, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
The PBS documentary “Slavery By Another Name” will seen chills through in freedom-loving person. While slavery in America technically ended shortly after the Civil War, southerners know bondage continued in one form or another until the 1960s. This documentary tells the story of Blacks and some Whites who were put in jail or prison for [...]
Belichick, Newt and Obama: Let Them Score
Posted in politics, tagged Belichick, democrats, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans, Super Bowl on February 6, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
I can’t stand Bill Belichick but must admit that he was smart to tell his Patriots defenders to allow the Giants’ Ahmad Bradshaw to score a touchdown in the last few minutes of the Super Bowl. Belichick did the calculations and knew he wanted the ball back in Tom Brady’s hands. The decision, which [...]
Democrats for Newt Gingrich….Really
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, democrats, Michelle Obama, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans on January 31, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
I am voting for President Obama in November and Newt Gingrich in March. Obama supporters in conservative states with open primaries should know that giving the president Newt as a target is as important as their general election vote. Every Mitt Romney associated super PAC T.V. ad regarding Newt’s negatives actually reinforces my contentions. The [...]
Clarence Thomas: Good Brother
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Blacks, Clarence Thomas, Conservatives, Georgia, Obama, sanford bishop, savannah, Sowell on January 23, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
I just finished reading Clarence Thomas: My Grandfather’s Son and now feel that Justice Thomas could be the most misunderstood brother in America. Grandfather Myers Anderson’s story could have been the story of any southern striving Black man before 1970 and reading the parts of this book about him was like reading about my father’s [...]
That S__ Crazy: Huntsman, Gingrich, Bishop, Romney
Posted in politics, tagged Jay Z, Jon Huntsman, newt, Newt Gingrich, Obama, rap, sanford bishop on January 17, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Kanye West saying ”That S__ Crazy” on that song with Jay Z is one cool rap lyric. But, the line should apply to some political matters as well. Jon Huntsman: The GOP had an opportunity to select this decent conservative as their nominee but he left the race while polling in the single digits. Huntsman could have easily [...]
South Georgia Congressional Delegation: Basketball’s JAB Step
Posted in politics, tagged agriculture, austin scott, basketball, Conservatives, democrats, Georgia, GOP, Isakson, Jack Kingston, sanford bishop, saxby on January 10, 2012 | 1 Comment »
I am sick and tired of national folks taking political jabs at my south Georgia congressional delegation. The fellows need to jab back. My rural south agenda focuses on agriculture, education/jobs, military/veterans and transportation. If they take care of those areas, other stuff is secondary because all politics is local. My Georgia is the area [...]
Barack Al Gore Obama
Posted in politics, tagged Clinton, democrats, GOP, Gore, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich on January 8, 2012 | 4 Comments »
I see it coming from a mile away and know I am going to be ticked off by the Democrats. It happened before with Al Gore. Since Bill Clinton’s White House did some much for regular people and left a budget surplus, Al Gore should have been a shoe-in. But, some folks are too lazy [...]
Economy Recovery and Working at McDonald’s
Posted in politics, tagged bill cosby, jobs, Mcdonalds, Obama, work on December 29, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
My homie Candy passed yesterday and I think he might have had a bigger influence on the community than most American presidents. Candy started working at McDonald’s in high school and moved up to manager before making a lateral move to a kids pizza chain. He hired a ton of local people and started them on [...]
2012 Political Season: Magic Wand and Understanding
Posted in politics, tagged austin scott, Conservatives, democrats, Georgia, GOP, hip hop, Huntsman, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans, sanford bishop, tea party on December 27, 2011 | 3 Comments »
If I could wave a magic wand on New Year’s Eve, the notations I would place in southern voters’ minds as we enter the election year would involve understanding. Kandi from the Real Housewives of Atlanta was in a hip hop group with T.I.’s lady Tiny back in the day and they had a hit called [...]
Vernon Jones and Foul-Mouthed Keisha: New Black Conservative Leadership
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, Jon Huntsman, moderates, republicans on December 14, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Today, I just came across a Black conservative I called foul-mouthed Keisha. Neither sides of the political establishment knows she is a conservative nor does Keisha know herself but her f-bomb-heavy rants represent the silent majority of Blacks who actually vote. Frustrated working people grow more aggravated when they see society and the government helping [...]
Stay: Herman Cain and Jon Huntsman
Posted in politics, tagged Bill Clinton, Herman Cain, Hillary Clinton, Jon Huntsman, marriage, Tiger Woods on December 2, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Herman Cain and Jon Huntsman should stay in the presidential race for the long haul. If you think about it, Cain’s alleged actions were no worst that those of Bill Clinton, JFK, RFK, or FRD. We would have had another Civil War before the two finalists for presidents were both Black so stop tripping about [...]
Genesis 4:15: Herman Cain, Jon Huntsman and Charlie Ward
Posted in politics, tagged Herman Cain, Huntsman, moderates, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans on November 29, 2011 | 1 Comment »
My thoughts today turn to Genesis 4:15, the original Cain, Herman Cain, Jon Huntsman and surprisingly Charlie Ward, Jr. From Sunday School, we remember that Cain killed his brother Abel and we joked “what did Eve do after Abel died…she raised Cain.” Seriously, I asked the Sunday school teacher (a high school student) “who was [...]
Rush Limbaugh’s 2008 “Support Hillary” Plan Could Help Obama 2012
Posted in politics, tagged Doug Banks, Herman Cain, Hillary Clinton, Jon Huntsman, Michael Baisden, Newt Gingrich, Obama, Tom Joyner on November 18, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Did Rush Limbaugh create the operational plan in 2008 for Obama/Biden primary success in 2012? At the first public event for the unlikelyalliesproject.com, someone pointed out that Limbaugh created and pushed a national strategy which called for Republican crossover voting. The plan was for conservatives to vote for Hillary Clinton in open primary states and [...]
Michael Steele on Jon Huntsman and Open Primaries
Posted in politics, tagged Herman Cain, Huntsman, Michael Steele, Obama on November 17, 2011 | 5 Comments »
On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Michael Steele stated that the majority of GOP primaries are open primaries. Jon Huntsman and Herman Cain aren’t exploring Democrats as a vast pool of curious voters. Polls indicate that Huntsman is the Republican who most non-Republicans actually would consider in the general election. (Watch Steele on this video link from the 1:00 [...]
Open Letter: Regarding Southern Democrats and All Presidential Campaigns
Posted in politics, tagged democrats, GOP, Herman Cain, Huntsman, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans, Rick Perry on November 14, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
If the GOP presidential primary process continues deep into the winter, all candidates will benefit in some way (including President Obama.) We should pause to think about Tim Pawlenty and Mitch Daniels—good guys that most voters never got to know as presidential candidates because they exited too early. Those exits should be a lesson for [...]

Presidential Candidates: Rebranded
Posted in politics, tagged Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Obama on November 3, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
When did branding become so important in politics? A brand, as defined by the American Marketing Association, is a name, term, sign, symbol or design or combination of them intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of others sellers. It is about [...]

People get and give insults in the South all day every day. If you have thin skin, you should move. These insults come to mind. The Michael Basiden Show’s list “8 Reasons Black Women Should Date White Men: First, Black Women should date whoever makes them happy and treats them well. But, the list from Basiden’s [...]
Red State Democrats and Hillary’s PUMAs: Inconsequential or Potential Game-changers

To hear experts talk, the next presidential election will be decided in a few swing states. Democrats in red states must sit back, donate and watch. The only say many moderates have during the process is the primary elections. President Obama will be the Democrat nominee but should Dems hedge our bets by voting in [...]
