As I tucked my kids in for bed last night I was not the only one telling fairytales and painting dreams of a most vivid and vibrant future and a “happily ever after.” I was joined by President Obama in fantasy and fiction telling. As we lay our “kids” to bed in the hopes they are nourished in the dreams and alternate realities we lay out for them, what did we really say? NOT MUCH!! Although I was preaching from the gospel of Disney. Mr. Obama’s fairytale should have come from the Brothers Grimm!

Who is the next Jim Brown, Kareem Abdul, Bill Russell, John Carlos, Tommy Smith, or Muhammad of our time? Is it time to stop helping the Kobe’s, Lebron’s, Williams Sisters, and Tiger’s launch their brands and refocus them back to the real cause of empowerment, civil rights, and moving the entire Black race forward?

Crony capitalism combined with big government solutions is a bad mix, this is the legacy of Democrats from New York to Detroit and yes here in Milwaukee. It sucks the vitality out of our communities and harms the good families that sustain them.

Should we enact laws to curtail this fashion mistake? Should we continue to wait for parents to do their job? What about adults who wear sagging pants and the people who love them? After all this would not be a popular fashion if those of us in relationships with “saggers” stopped seeing this as a turn on and if we as a community started actively protesting this.
Death to Sag?

No deviation from liberal orthodoxy is allowed – the Left slanders no one as viciously as the black conservative. The clients of liberalism are reduced to making increasingly angry demands for diminishing increases in a bankrupt quest for “social justice.” Unacceptable results are protected by making alternative solutions unthinkable. The result is a vicious cycle of political addiction. Liberalism is the new crack…but it’s time for us to break the cycle of political addiction by recognizing that day has passed.

With the honoring of the Civil War (beginning 150 years ago this week), one might compare what the military has become now as opposed to back then. In this comparison, we honor those who served our nation and our people, but do we still feel the need to serve as our ancestors once did?
There is great pride to be found in our history with the military. However in this current military where do we fit in and should we?
