Mr. Steele, You’ll be gone soon enough. We need leaders not RINOS. This is a grass roots revitalization of the Republican party and you will be one of the casualties.
Mary Jay commented:
Pastor Broden is the real deal. Please consider contributing to his campaign.
JR commented:
I’ve said it before. Mr. Steele showed such promise. However, his performance in office is lackluster enough to warrant replacement.
Dennis commented:
“Mr. Steele, your nothing but a stain in the republican underwear. You’ll be gone soon enough. We need leaders not RINOS.”
Of course, if we get rid of him, the left will call us racist….even though Charles Blow wrote an article criticizing the Tea Party for having TOO MANY minorities on the podium.
So when we reject a “person of color”, we’re racist: when we accept minorities, it’s because we try to put minorities in our party for the sake of having tokens.
Craig Bardo commented:
Michael Steele is a blight on the GOP. He is emblematic of all that has been wrong. The GOP is our natural home but Steele, like so many of us, even those inclined to vote for the most conservative candidate, has accepted Democrat formulations and premises.
We are not masses or demographics with special interests. You can’t appeal to me by promising to transfer resources I didn’t earn to me from someone who did earn or hold title to those resources. Nor can the GOP appeal to people on that basis. How can a conservative or one with any political label out redistribute a Marxist?
My special interest is to make sure you keep more of what you earn or inherit so that I can keep more of what I earn and pass it on to my children as I see fit. My special interest is for the government to yield to allow the productive forces of the economy to produce the conditions that improve employment prospects and wealth so that we can enjoy the blessings of liberty.

If blacks want to stay on the Democrat plantation and have the teachers unions as their slave masters so be it

Replace Steele with Herman Cain
anonymous commented:
We don’t want anymore Rinos like Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham, or John McCain. They need to retire. Michael Steele need to be replace and we need a new conservative leader to head of the Republican Party.

thing. maxine thinks he’ll have to go……

Amen Pastor Broden!!
[Or, for that matter, than what Mr. Tyrrell calls "reformed conservatives." These "opportunists," as he characterizes them, "who advance themselves in the media by slighting and sniping [at] conservatives and conservatism. . . . . They’re ‘reformed,’ they’re ‘enlightened,’ and the reason liberals treat them well is because all of their recommendations are recommendations about how conservatism should move from its conservative foundations, its libertarian foundations, and become good liberals.”]

God Bless Rev. Broden. ‘Tis a shame that Mr Steele says what he says because I believe he’s a good man. I also believe he needs to step down ASAP.
Karen Cook commented:
Well said Pastor Broden! Good luck to you in your campaign and God Bless you!
TaSS commented:
The Pastor is absolutely right. Individual freedom and responsbility. Fiscal restraint and limited government.
There are two ways to look at government. One way has citizens dependent on government for their needs. The other way is in individual responsbility. You can decide what is best for you and your family.
Republicans need to do a better job of getting their message out.
dnb commented:
I want a pastor like this. Instead I belong to a peace and social justice catholic church. Looking for another parish. Hope that ‘share my wealth’ doesn’t runneth throughout the entire hierarchy.
Rose commented:
Mr. Steele can NEVER be gone soon enough.
And the longer he stays, the more I worry the GOP leadership will repeat 2008, like with all those FRONT-LOADED OPEN PRIMARIES that gave McCain a front-loaded head start.
Frankly, they ain’t looking to bright to me, these days, not even smart enough to realize that when John McCain started crawling backwards over GLASS to distance himself from his own SHAMNESTY bill, they ain’t rising up and noticing the LANDSCAPE is for the Constitution and CITIZENS, these days, and NOT too supportive of DIM LITE MARXISM – better known as GOP on Stooopid.
Rose commented:
If you are afraid of being called racist for dumping RINO MARXIST STEELE, then appoint Dr. Manning of Louisiana in his place.
He’s blacker than Steele.

Grand Old Party [2/18/05]
by Deroy Murdock
[Today marks the 90th anniversary of a very special White House ceremony. President Woodrow Wilson hosted his Cabinet and the entire U.S. Supreme Court for a screening of D. W. Griffith's racist masterpiece, Birth of a Nation. The executive mansion's first film presentation depicted, according to Griffith, the Ku Klux Klan's heroic, post-Civil War struggle against the menace of emancipated blacks, portrayed by white actors in black face. As black civil-rights leader W.E.B. DuBois explained: In Griffith's 1915 motion picture, "The freed man was represented either as an ignorant fool, a vicious rapist, a venal or unscrupulous politician, or a faithful idiot."
Thumbs up, Wilson exclaimed. The film "is like writing history with lightning," he remarked, adding, "it is all so terribly true."
This vignette — recently recounted in Ken Burns's PBS documentary, Unforgivable Blackness — was neither the first nor last time a prominent Democrat plunged a hot knife in black America's collective back. Each February, Black History Month recalls Democrat Harry Truman's 1948 desegregation of the armed forces and Democrat Lyndon Baines Johnson's signature on the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the greatest black legislative victory since Republican Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery in 1863. This annual commemoration, however, largely overlooks the many milestones Republicans and blacks have achieved together by overcoming reactionary Democrats.
The House Policy Committee's 2005 Republican Freedom Calendar offers 365 examples of GOP support for women, blacks, and other minorities, often over Democratic objections.
[..]
“The first Republican I knew was my father, and he is still the Republican I most admire,” Rice has said. “He joined our party because the Democrats in Jim Crow Alabama of 1952 would not register him to vote. The Republicans did. My father has never forgotten that day, and neither have I.”
“We started our party with the express intent of protecting the American people from the Democrats’ pro-slavery policies that expressly made people inferior to the state,” wrote Rep. Christopher Cox (R., Calif.), who authorized the calendar last year as House Policy chairman. “Today, the animating spirit of the Republican Party is exactly the same as it was then: free people, free minds, free markets, free expression, and unlimited opportunity.”
“Leading the organized opposition to these ideas 150 years ago, just as today, was the Democratic Party,” Cox continued. “Then, just as now, their hallmarks were politically correct speech; a preference for government control over individual initiative…and an insistence on seeing people as members of groups rather than as individuals.”
But what about racial preferences? The GOP’s embrace of color-neutral policies parallels Martin Luther King’s dream of racial equality over racial scale tipping. “The constitutional amendments that the Republican party supported after the Civil War did not advance preferences by race,” Cox told me. “They made government view every person as an individual, not as a member of a racial group.”
Alas, even as Republicans promote work over welfare, educational choice, and personal retirement accounts, all of which would empower blacks, some 90 percent of blacks vote Democrat as reflexively as knees kick when tapped with rubber mallets. After inspecting the Democrats’ handiwork — e.g. the tar pit that is public assistance, the Dresden that is the ghetto school system, and the pyramid scheme that is Social Security (which robs too many blacks who die before recouping their “investment”) — black Americans should ask Democrats: “Yesterday’s gone. What have you done for us lately?”]

He’s running in my district! HE’S RUNNING IN MY DISTRICT!!!!
The Republicans have never run a serious campaign in this district, but the pastor may just have a chance to unseat Eddie Bernice-Johnson (the Sheila Jackson-Lee of north Texas).
I’m giving him a hefty donation, for sure. Would GP consider a money-bomb post?
