The Rise & Resurgence Of The Black Conservative Patriot
By CS Bennett
Well over a hundred years ago, a political party was born with the objective of ridding the country of slavery. That party was the Republican Party. It was a determined and defiant political force which was at the right place at the right time in our country’s history. The party was formed in 1854, an offshoot of the former Whig Party. Its first presidential candidate was none other than Abraham Lincoln, which many in the Black community today believe was a democrat. This includes republicans Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver, Harriet Tubman, Sarah Mapp Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and many more. No, they were not democrats. But it is understandable why others think this. We can thank a hijacked educational system and a worthless left-wing leaning media for these misconceptions within the minority community.
The Republican Party was a fresh new party that had strong leaders who led with conviction, a sense of moral purpose, and had a solid grasp of its own destiny. You see, they were the right group to form at the right time in history. They were fearless and true to their word, those that committed themselves to the liberation of an oppressed people called slaves. Unfortunately, many of our republican leaders have abandoned the sound foundation this grand ole party was built on. They have failed to tout God and Country, the conservative brand, and even worse, they have allowed those on the left to redefine our party. Save for a few loyal and devoted public servants, our other leaders never stood up for our values or fought back. In the simplest of terms, they never defended our side or ever went on the offensive in uncovering the horrendous and nefarious past and present history of the Democrat Party.
So, today, because of our own leaders’ failure to promote who we are and what we stand for, we are perceived as the bad guys, the Bible reading, gun-toting bigots, and the racists of America’s past and present they parody on the late shows. Black conservatives are treated even worse. They are treated with enormous hostility and are excoriated whenever they speak out in favor of freedom and liberty. Now, let me clarify this one thing, there are patriotic democrats out there, but their leadership is anything but patriotic. Their party’s policies are nowhere close to being pro-American or pro-Capitalism. They are not even in the same ballpark. The taking of an unborn life is a matter of convenience for liberal minded women and men. Forcing people to inject a toxic and unknown and unproven substance in their bodies via government mandates is something these people have no problem with. Rights? What rights?
Then we have this other matter, the Republican Party’s lack of enthusiasm in supporting and fully funding Black candidates. This cannot stand. What our leaders on our side fail to realize is that this party’s future and destiny is dependent on the rise and acceptance of Black conservatives within the party. The leadership has got to give more than lip service to minority candidates. They must promote these candidates and they must fully fund these candidates. We have to return to being an all-inclusive tent like it was in the 1870s, a period in our past when Blacks became doctors and lawyers and politicians and other professionals during the period known as Reconstruction. And yes, it is true that nearly well over 88% of Blacks were republicans back then. Overtime, our party's leaders allowed the left to define us, and overtime, they won the propaganda war. Without a strong Republican Party presence in the South, in order for freed slaves to have a say in politics, they had little choice but to join the Democrat Party, which they were not welcomed in, and it was made known to them that they were not welcomed. Let us flash to today’s Republican Party and the political landscape. Blacks vote democrat, 88% or more. It is the reverse of what it was during Reconstruction. Why? That will come in another article...
As for the republicans, there are 48 pictures of conservative speakers that at slated to headline this year’s 2022 CPAC in Orlando, Florida, on the website. Yet only four of them are Black. We cannot move other minorities to join our party if we continue to be viewed and treated as minorities within our own party by our leadership. CPAC usually present the same familiar and well-known faces every three or four years. They need to bring in new faces, fresh new faces, and allow them to be heard, as well. Honestly, four Blacks out of forty-eight speakers headlining this grandiose event is dismal. There is a need for more Latinos, more Blacks, and more Asians to be featured. We have firebrands out there. Let’s hear from them.
Fortunately for the party, with little credit going to our party’s leadership, unsung Black conservatives are stepping up to the plate to promote the virtues of conservatism in spite of the verbal abuse they get from Black Nationalists, and others in the Black community. These new faces have chosen to stand up for liberty and for freedom. They are coming out in droves to run for office and many of them are more than qualified. Truth is, they are highly qualified to take the reins and responsibilities of a public servant. Egos must never enter the mix. Humble service is what we need and what we expect from our leaders. Having said this, know that it will be the Black conservative, with the help of their white counterparts, and other nationalities within the party, who will awaken those still struggling in our minority communities. No, our leaders need not step aside but rather lead. And if they lead, as they should, the majority of us will follow them. If only they would stand up for the Constitution and our rights, we would back them
Black conservatives have always had a voice as members of the party, it is just that the leadership has usually turned a deaf ear to such voices. Yes, they will feature a few Black speakers here and there, at their major events, but to truly promote them, as they do the party’s white members, is something they rarely do. There are no token Blacks in the party, however, they are often treated like token Blacks by the party’s leadership. They meet with us, and they listen to us, but they really do not hear us, especially on how to persuade the Black community to return to the very political party that liberated their ancestors. This does not appear to be a priority with the leadership in their strategy sessions. They do not seem to understand that the key to destroying the Democrat Party is severing that party’s ties to the Black community, and other minority communities. It’s that clear a statement and that clear of a truth.
As a voice in the conservative movement and a defender of the United States Constitution, as well as our Bill of Rights, I count it a privilege to be in a position to repay our grand ole party for doing what it did to end slavery in this country, and what they attempted to do in ridding this country of the sins of that other party in the 1860s. I am sure my fellow men and women of color are just as committed as I am in preserving and defending this great republic, many of us veterans who served this country and were members of the greatest and most powerful military in modern history. To our leadership in Orlando this weekend, and as a guide for future events, do talk about the humanity, and moral compass, of our republican founders and the proud history of this grand ole party at its inception. Let it be known that the Republican Party started out on the right foot, with the right mindset, with the right goals, and was formed at the right time in our country’s history. Insist that our leaders promote our brand and defend it with passion. It is no secret that our Establishment leaders seem to lack passion for what the grass root members of the party stand for. It is time for us to light a match under them.
In the meantime, know that there is a movement afoot and that is the return, influence, and prominence of the Conservative Black Patriot. Much like abolitionist and 1860s republican activist Frederick Douglass, we are here to fight on the front lines against tyranny and oppression. We are here to defeat the destroyers of our traditions and our Americanism. We are here to defend religious freedom. We are not only here to fight for the cause of liberty, but to lead the fight. Let us have this opportunity to say thank you to the Almighty Hebrew god, YAHWEH, and to the Republican Party of the 1860s, for standing toe to toe against the forces of evil. We do these things because of our love of country and our commitment to this great republic and our conviction and our duty in fighting evil. Let us have a true seat at the table, I say to our leadership. Do this and we will defeat the left. Include us as true equals and we will prevail as a nation. And let us not forget that other notable problem. namely RINOS. Yes, republicans in name only. Aside from progressives and socialists, they are the next biggest threat to this country. Rest assure, we will set our sights on them and fight vigorously to rid the party of them, as well… Our children’s future is at stake. They are counting on us to be courageous. More than anything, they want us to make a stand. Let us all be Spartans in this fierce battle to save our republic. We need dedicated warriors now. Diplomacy can come after we win the war of ideas and policies. Are you willing to join in the battle? I am…

He is absolutely right about one thing - - We need to clean out these RINO's from the Conservative party.
They either need to back the Republican party Conservatives or get the hell out.
Mitt Romney, Liz Chaney, the whitch from Maine - Susan M. Collins, and any of the others.
