Why liberals are afraid, very afraid | Lloyd Marcus For too long, Americans went along with politically correct liberal orthodoxy. But finally, they're taking back what's theirsMonday night, I performed and spoke at a wonderful Tea Party patriot banquet in Scottsdale, Arizona. The keynote speaker was conservative radio talk show host Tammy Bruce.Tammy Bruce delivered a great speech. Ten years ago, Bruce was a hardcore liberal Democrat activist. Similar to Saul on the road to Damascus, Bruce saw the light – that conservatism is best for all people, especially minorities. As a black conservative escapee from the liberal plantation, I say to Bruce, "Right on sista!"Another compelling statement from Bruce, the former liberal zealot: "Liberals exploit the turn-the-other-cheek Christian principle of conservatives." For years, liberals have screamed, yelled and protested their way to successfully furthering their dismantling of our traditions and values agenda with no real opposition from conservatives. Finally, thanks to the Tea Party movement, conservatives are fighting back. Not knowing how to deal with the new brand of conservatives, "Liberals are afraid, very afraid," says Bruce. Sometimes, God gives us great gifts in ugly packages. The day after Obama was elected, I could have been extremely depressed. The only thing that gave me peace was the knowledge that God is in control. God did not wake up that morning and say, "Oh no, Obama won!" So, I trusted that all was well.Obama's election has proven to be a great gift from God. Obama's radical, progressive and socialist agenda has awakened a sleeping giant. For years, we regular Americans have been passively going along with political correctness; the banning of God from the public square, attacks on our freedoms, culture and etc. Finally, millions of Americans, in ever increasing numbers, are saying, "ENOUGH! We're taking back our country!"Desperate, Obama and his sycophant media buddies have been trying to silence the opposition by despicably calling millions of decent, hardworking Americans racist. Well, it ain't workin'!The patriot banquet was held at the beautiful Scottsdale Plaza Resort. I had the pleasure of chatting with the resort owner, seated at my table, John Dawson; an amazing, down-to-earth man. Talk about the American dream: Dawson started from nothing. Several of his employees – Hispanics, blacks, whites and etc – have been with him over 20 years; they're family.The patriot banquet organisers were the same as I have witnessed across America, first time: extremely passionate and committed political activists. They are part of this incredible phenomenon known as the American Tea Party movement. In attendance were Tea Party patriots, all contributing in their own way; using their skills, gifts and talents to help restore America. One such patriot is Brad Zinn, who, by trade, is a professional comedian, but who, for his country, travels America lecturing on the evils of communism and Marxism.Scottsdale Arizona was beautiful. I was really impressed with the zero landscaping and the very creative usages of gravel, rocks and stones. But it is almost impossible to get a decent crab cake outside of Maryland, my home state. A Scottsdale restaurant had "Maryland Style Crab Cakes" on the menu. Excited, my wife was ready to order. The waitress, who was originally from Maryland, confided that their crab cake had filler. Folks, real Maryland crab cakes are made with luscious lumps of crab meat; no filler.Tea Party movementUS midterm elections 2010United StatesUS politicsRepublicansObama administrationArizonaLloyd Marcusguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
