Once again the Republican party is being
advised to repackage or even “adjust” their message in order to enhance their
share of the minority vote. The
statistics are stunning but the advice being provided by liberals and media is
disingenuous. The real question that
needs to be asked is why minority conservatives scare the heck out of them.
This year’s Republican Convention highlighted
several impressive black and Latino conservatives with very compelling stories.
Marco Rubio and Susana Martinez are just
two who will become future leaders of the conservative movement. The accomplishments of these exceptional
individuals is not applauded by liberals or the press but muted and demeaned by
the implication that they are merely “tokens.”
The Congressional Black Caucus is not for
blacks just as the National Organization for Women is not for women unless they
are liberal blacks and liberal women.
Conservative blacks are left out in the cold as they are to be
discouraged. They are ferociously
attacked as “Uncle Tom” and castigated in vicious ways in order to shut them
up, discredit their positions and discourage others from leaving the liberal
plantation of ideas. Just ask Clarence Thomas,
Thomas Sowell, Tim Scott, Mia Love, Nikki Haley, Allen West, or Condoleezza
Rice to name a few.
Republicans admire these minorities not only
for their accomplishments, perseverance and strength of character, but for the
additional courage they show by serving themselves up as punching bags to those
who not only don’t share their views but are threatened by them. They present a challenge for the liberal
establishment by showing that minorities can break free from this group-think and should be independent thinkers
representing a range of ideologies, not just packaged as one size fits all.
