Federal Department of Exterior Declares Black Conservatives Endangered Species

June 15th, 2008 at 4:50 pm by Preston Taylor Holmes

Especially now that they’re all considering jumping back onto the Dim-O-Crack slave ship to pull the lever for the Obamessiah – you know – because he’s brown.

Never fear, however, because (1) the list doesn’t include Clarence Thomas, and (2) Baldilocks has the straight dope.

One of today’s Yahoo News headlines informs us that ‘Black conservatives [are] conflicted on Obama campaign.’ Armstrong Williams, Rep. J.C. Watts, General Colin Powell, Senator Edward Brooke and, sadly, my friend Joseph C. Phillips may be falling into the trap which I have repeatedly described–one lined with pride and with fear: pride of race and fear that Obama is the last chance for a black president to be elected.

…

With 90+ percent of black Americans voting Democrat regardless of who the candidate is, it will be bad enough as it is. But I, for one, expect you, black conservative Republican men to have enough balls to stand on principle, not on your emotions. You’ve shown your testicular fortitude by being publicly conservative against a tide of Identity Politics. Don’t start behaving like castrati now.

Stop thinking selfishly. We’re not choosing a President of Black American Dream Fulfillment; we’re choosing a President of the United States.

With quotes like this…

J.C. Watts, a former Oklahoma congressman who once was part of the GOP House leadership, said he’s thinking of voting for Obama. Watts said he’s still a Republican, but he criticizes his party for neglecting the black community. Black Republicans, he said, have to concede that while they might not agree with Democrats on issues, at least that party reaches out to them.

“And Obama highlights that even more,” Watts said, adding that he expects Obama to take on issues such as poverty and urban policy. “Republicans often seem indifferent to those things.”

…it appears that J.C. Watts has gone the way of the ‘94 Republican Revolution. I suppose it was all about the campaign dough all along. Bros before Hos, yo.

And what of Colon Cleanse Powell? He has never been a conservative, even if that’s what the Old Media has always disingenuously called him. I would expect him not only to vote for the Obamessiah, but to be on the short list for VP.

The sad truth is that if skin color is enough to turn guys like Watts and Williams, then principle means no more to them than it does to backstabbing RINOs like McCain, Graham, Snowe, Bush Sr, and the rest of the sordid lot. Then again, when was politics ever about principle in the first place?

Throw Michael Steele in there too. When I saw him speaking at the Confederate State of the Black Union several months ago, he was nodding his head and clapping his hands with every other crackpot on the stage

I thought republicans knew that it wasn’t the government’s job to “reach out” to them.

It’s time for black leaders to show some leadership. You don’t prove that color doesn’t count by voting for someone because of his color. That’s just nuts. I, for one, did not vote for Huckabee or Gore or Bubba or Jimmah Carter, even though I too am a cracker-American.
