“MLK Was GOP” BILLBOARD IS UP IN S.C.!!
Just in time for his birthday and national holiday, our 2nd “Martin Luther King, Jr. Was A Republican” billboard has been erected in South Carolina.
Located on US 601 in Orangeburg, South Carolina, it’s smack dab in the middle of Rep. James Clyburn’s district – the Majority Whip of the House and member of the Congressional Black Caucus. It’s in the neighborhood of Historically Black Universities South Carolina State and Claflin University.
Congratulations to you, the financial partners of RagingElephants.org, and our RagingVols, for pushing us across the goal line. Question: Are there any other organizations that are staying more consistently on the attack against the liberal agenda?
A special thanks to Jimbo Pratt for his extraordinary effort on this project. He has the capacity to assist RagingElephants.org with securing more billboards across the nation.

SPECIAL MESSAGE TO SOUTH CAROLINA PATRIOTS
All of you in S.C., let’s build on this momentum. If you’d like to be a part of our South Carolina team, please click on the “Volunteer” button at the top of the page, fill out and submit our volunteer information form.
Patriots need to rally together to celebrate Emancipation Day – Juneteenth Day! I attended your training in Overland Park, Kansas. I had the thought that Juneteenth Day would be an excellent time to rally together, especially in Wyandotte County, KS to hold a Juneteenth Celebration. We could have music, speakers, activities, conduct your research surveys, and have informational booths. It would be a time to re-education our brothers and sisters in KS about who was really the driving force for Emancipation and Civil Rights…not the Democrats but Abraham Lincoln and MLK…Republicans. It would be awesome if every Republican or conservative group around the nation would join together to make Juneteenth another Emancipation Day. The day a movement begins to Emancipate people from the Nanny state, lies, and vitimization imposed by the Democrats.
Thanks for taking the time to read this email. If you think this could happen or is worthwhile I would like to hear from you.

It’s about time that Republicans quit pussy-footing around on the issue of race. They need to point out that in both principle and practice, the Republican Party has a far better record than the Democrats on race. Even more importantly, they need to stress that on the issues that most affect African-Americans today, the Democratic position represents racism of the most offensive sort—a patronizing racism that denigrates Blacks every bit as badly as the old racism of Jim Crow and segregation.
Even the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which supposedly established the Democrats’ bona fides on race, was passed in spite of the Democrats rather than because of them. Republican Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen pushed the bill through the Senate, despite the no-votes of 21 Democrats, including Gore Sr. and Robert Byrd, who remains a powerful force in the Senate today. In contrast, only four Republicans opposed the bill, mostly like Barry Goldwater on libertarian principles, not segregationist ones.
Take the issue of education. The single biggest obstacle to the achievement of true equality in the United States is not poverty, but education. If Democrats sincerely wished to help the minority children on whose behalf they claim to labor, they would embrace school choice to help such children escape the trap of sub-standard schools. But that would offend the teachers’ unions upon which the Democrats depend for financial and “in-kind” support. So as has often been the case with the group politics of the Democratic party, African-American interests are sacrificed to other groups who have more pull.
“Affirmative action” has become the touchstone of Democratic racial politics. Democrats portray anyone who opposes affirmative action as racist. But affirmative action, as currently practiced, is racist to the core. It is based on the assumption that African-Americans are incapable of competing with whites. It represents the kind of paternalistic racism that would have done honor to Calhoun. For the modern liberal Democratic racist as for the old-fashioned one, blacks are simply incapable of freedom. They will always need Ol’ Massa’s help. And woe be to any African-American who wanders off of the Democratic plantation. Ask Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, or Ward Connerly. Although they echo the call for a “color-blind society” that once characterized the vision of Martin Luther King Jr., they are pilloried as “Uncle Toms” of “Oreos” by such enforcers of the Democratic plantation system as Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton.
