Problems with the Republican Party
by Jesse J. Lewis, Sr.
The Republican Party have campaigned to recruit Blacks, minorities and women into the political system. Many, many years ago Blacks people were all Republicans because it was a the party of Abraham Lincoln who was a responsible for freeing the slaves. The Blacks who voted in the early years, voted with the Republican Party.
It’s one thing to say our door is open, yet you can only come in under their policies. There is no way in the world the average Black person can be recruited unless they change their policies.
In the Republican Party there are the Tea Party group and the Brother group. Their main goal is to erase Obama’s place in history. There are people like Ted Nugent, who called the president a ‘sub-human mongol’ and also made the statement that if Obama had a second term one of them will be dead. Here’s a man who campaigned with the Republican Governor of Texas, who openly admits he’s had sex with underage young ladies and used illegal drugs, who is still being accepted by the party leadership.
This is the same party who will not even consider raising the minimum wage, who cut the food stamps budget, who believes that Obama is not an American; a party who will not permit passing an immigration bill, who is working to keep American citizens from voting. This is the same party who gerrymandered across the United States to make sure their people returned to office. When party leaders like Rush Limbaugh, Tom Cruise, Ron Paul, Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly arouse animal instincts in their constituents sprouting hate on their TV station (FOX News), they can’t hope to be successful recruits on the big stage.
In defense of Nick Saban
Nick Saban is being crucified in the media, especially by Paul Finebaum, for no apparent reason. He is saying that Nick Saban has lost the PR battle and is on the wrong side of history at the wrong time. The
only thing that Nick Saban has said, according to reliable sources, is he just brought up the issue for conversational purposes and it should be voted on immediately, if not sooner. When all is said and done, Nick Saban will be the hero.
The other thing they have done, not intentionally, is to make a Mercedes dealership that Nick Saban will own part of successful before the property is purchased and before the building is bought. Some conversations have gone so far as to cut commercials, what they will sound like, etc. All they are doing is making a rich man richer. Nick Saban will own 20-30 percent of the dealership and never put in a penny.
Poor Nick Saban – these people are just jealous and envious.
Hot topic of the week
A local newspaper criticized the City Councillors for playing politics with a building that is to come before the Council whether they want to lease it for several years. The controversy comes because the owner of the building, The Franklin L. Haney Company, gave contributions to most of the Councillors’ political campaigns.
There is nothing wrong with the articles that John Archibald wrote regarding the company, but there is something wrong with this publication passing out the names and emails of the Councilors. There’s nothing illegal about this but the next step is passing out home phone numbers and next passing out home addresses.
Who should be sued for the 10-year-old’s death?
It would seem that Monumental Construction Company should be dismissed from the civil lawsuit brought by the family of the 10-year-old boy who was killed by a flight information display falling on him. According to the evidence, Monumental produced emails noticing the company who was to finish the project that the display was unsafe. Monumental refused to install it.
No now knows how the courts will rule on this, but it should be very clear the case against Monumental should be thrown out.
