There’s an article from Essence magazine regarding the Michael Steele selection. May I just say, that Essence should be in every Black home in America. I have been reading Essence since junior high: you learn about quality women from quality women and maybe one day you might have that type woman around you.
I am calling someone out: the Sylvester/Worth County, Georgia Public Library. A few years ago, I asking the staff why they had hair and fashion magazines but no Essence. Logically, they said get it for them.
So, I used frequent flyer miles and got them a few years. Some people don’t know that you can give magazines for miles for multiple years and different addresses. Giving Essence and Black Enterprise to teens in your family would serve them better in the long run than the junk they think they want.
While I am ranting, reading Essence and another “Black” publications would be useful for anyone in an area (the whole South) with a sizable Black population..i.e. School teachers and coaches.
Reading across cultures will help build knowledge and insight. Some people are so closed minded that they did not realize African Americans of presidential timber existed until recently—know the actors in the arena or don’t get caught sleeping like General Cluster.
I study everyone and read everything. And the older people are so willing to share. Once on a flight to Honduras, this White vet schooled me on the real World War II, deep-sea fishing and Kansas agriculture. Thanks for share.
Again I say, Project Logic GA is about the Black political and policy experience in the South; which means that readers (all ten of them) should be Black and non-Black.
Like the Indian guy in every South Georgia town who sells purple or red suits to the brothers. (The only men who should have red suits are Santa Claus, Kappas, and maybe UGA coaches.) Anyway, that guy does not wear those ugly clothes but he knows his target market from listening and watching.
Michael Steele should model his actions after DNC Chair Howard Dean. Steele should spend some time working on the product rather than intensifying the sales pitch.

FYI, might want to listen to my exclusive interview with Michael Steele and comment. Thanks. JL.

And forget, please, “conservatism,” please. It will not “save” us because it has been, operationally, de facto, Godless and therefore irrelevant. Secular conservatism will not defeat secular liberalism because to God both are two atheistic peas-in-a-pod and thus predestined to failure. As Stonewall Jackson’s Chief of Staff R.L. Dabney said of such a humanistic belief more than 100 years ago:
“[Secular conservatism] is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today .one of the accepted principles of conservatism; it is now conservative only in affecting to resist the next innovation, which will tomorrow be forced upon its timidity and will be succeeded by some third revolution; to be denounced and then adopted in its turn. American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. This pretended salt bath utterly lost its savor: wherewith shall it be salted? Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious for the sake of the truth.”
Our country is collapsing because we have turned our back on God (Psalm 9:17) and refused to kiss His Son (Psalm 2).

John: Thanks for sharing your interview with Michael Steele. I like the way you started it off with the reality that the recent GOP has gotten away from the core conservative principles of say the Reagan era.
I must say that Steele stood strong regarding his views regarding the faith and policy. What a healthy and productive debate you two had. I love it; put everything on the table and understand what others are thinking.
(14 mins into the interview) Wow, this debate is a classic and Steele might actually attract a range of “new” people to his party if he will respectful discuss matters like this with the right. Steele is no wimp and you proved that—he owes you one. Clearly, he might grow frustrated as the head of the GOP because more Republicans agree with you than him. President Obama could experience the same frustration dealing with the far left and their ultra-liberal mess.
For the most part, this blog is moderate but hearing everyone is part of deciding with whom to align at any given time. Good for you breaking out and becoming an independent if your former party was not right for you.
Should have, could have, would have: this interview makes me wonder what the Romney-Steele ticket would have done last November.
