Ethnic Minority America Cuts Its Own Political Throat

It is no secret, that most Hispanics and black African Americans vote knee-jerk for liberal Democrats, in hopes of being able to secure their own civil rights and prosperity. They make a faulty presumption that ever bigger government will give them more personal freedom. NOT SO!

Former President Ronald Reagan once said that government has a tendency not to solve problems, but merely to re-arrange them. This is true of slavery. It was supposedly abolished with the passage of the 13th amendment to the Constitution, when in fact, slavery was not abolished, but merely re-arranged. In 1900, "tax freedom day"--the day when Americans stop working to earn money to pay their taxes in support of their governments and start working to keep the fruits of their labor for themselves--came at the end of January. Today, it does not come for most Americans until the end of April, and "tax freedom day" threatens to be pushed back ever later into the year, as government grows and becomes ever-more expensive. Americans of all races and colors are thus to an increasing extent denied the right to keep the fruits of their own labors for themselves, and use them according to their own wishes. It is indeed a basic civil right, for people to be able to dispose of the fruits of their own labors as THEY see fit, rather than as government sees fit.

Ethnic minority persons very rightly clamor for and demand their God-given rights, they are altogether justified to do this. However, their approach towards this goal is all wrong. By voting for liberal politicians--mostly Democrats, but RINOs too--they are voting for the continuation of one of America's most sinful and egregious practices: ABORTION.

It is known, that most Planned Parenthood abortion clinics are set up in black and Hispanic neighborhoods. It is also known, that proportionately, more black and Hispanic babies are aborted, than are white babies. Planned Parenthood was started originally by Margaret Sanger, a woman who was an admirer of Adolf Hitler and his race theories. The original purpose behind abortion had nothing to do with women's rights; rather, Margaret Sanger had in mind the limitation of reproduction of races of people deemed "not fit to live", because they were allegedly diseased and/or defective one way or another. Today, under the pretense of supporting women's rights, the liberal Democrats--and RINOs too--support this shameful practice of abortion, even to the extent of compelling the tax payer to support it with tax money, even if for reason of religious belief the tax payer opposes abortion.

Again, black and Hispanic America is absolutely right to see their rights as God-given, not man-given, and thus not negotiable with any men anywhere. But if we do not have, first and foremost, the right to life, we can just forget about all the other rights ethnic minority persons might otherwise enjoy. Ethnic minority America makes a most grave mistake, to fail to realize this truth, and continue to perennially put into office with their votes those politicians who are pro-abortion. There is no doubt about it, abortion devalues and depriviledges all human life. With human life thus cheapened, there is no way those races of people most heavily victimized by abortion can possibly feel themselves to be worth anything.

The institution of marriage is also under severe attack from Democrats and RINOs, as quick-easy divorce laws enacted by them encourage the dissolution of marriage for light and transient causes. What is badly needed for ethnic minority America is re-commitment to strong family values, beginning with a solid and uncompromising commitment to the institution of marriage. Much of the source of ethnic minority social troubles can be summed up in three words: DAD NOT HOME. Ethnic minority America definitely votes to cut its own political throat, by voting for liberal politicians who sneer at traditional Bible-based marriage and other associated family values.

It is time for black America to come off the liberal Democrat plantation. Agreement to the proposition that government knows best, rather than I know best, what is best for me, is merely a warmed-over version of the "yassuh, massuh" response of the black slave to his white master prior to the Civil War. By voting for "liberal" politicians, black and Hispanic America is cutting its own collective political throat. It is a universal truism that as government power waxes, human freedom wanes. The sooner ethnic minority America awakens to this reality and starts voting at the polls accordingly, the better.
