Diligent Hands Bring Wealth

On this day, June 19th, a statue of Frederick Douglass was unveiled in the Untied States Capitol's Emancipation Hall. For Frederick Douglass, (1818-1885) a free market capitalist, entrepreneur and national hero as a champion of civil rights, freedom and justice for all, the recognition bestowed him today at the United States Capitol was long overdue.

 

It is clear that President Obama, from pronouncements that the Constitution is a flawed document to his actions, not only failing to uphold, but seeking to change the Constitution, does not adequately respect the Constitution or the divinely inspired Founding Fathers who created it. 

 

 

This is in stark contrast to Douglass, who said  "The American Constitution in s written instrument full and complete in itself.  No Court in America,, no Congress, no President, can add a single word therto, or take single word therefrom.  It is a great national enactment done by the people. and can only be altered, amended or added to by the people."

Florida Senator Marco Rubio and his gang of eight compadres feverishly work on an immigration bill that rewards those who broke the law and will create an overwhelming level of entitlements bankrupting our nation.

Rubio and his republican counterparts supportive of this legislation worry that without supporting amnesty for those illegal immigrants already here while paving a way to legal immigration, the democrats will generate a corner on the market for Hispanic votes moving forward.

First and foremost, disregarding the rule of law for votes is an appalling trade off void of the principles our nation was founded upon. Secondly, the whole premise is false and needs to be rejected.

The immigration bill is not about votes, or for the benefit of the immigrants who are supposedly living in the shadows; it is about control.

If the GOP fears issues finding enough voters to strengthen their relevance, beyond placing conservatives on the ballot drawing a significant distinction against the progressives, there is a clear pathway for the GOP to never lose another election.  Frederick Douglass is the answer.

Douglass, a republican, recognized that free market capitalism is the best path to prosperity, noting “If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters."

In aggregate, as evidenced by the voting record, the black population has let the evil of racism and vengeance cloud their perspective restricting the avenues of progress which lay before them. Many who are Christian have reconciled disarming these arbitrary handicaps from prohibiting their pursuit of happiness.

The Democrats, through enacting entitlements which are designed to rob individuals of their identity and leave them dependant on an increasingly oppressive government, get the overwhelming majority of black votes but are the cause of the greater majority of harm riddling the community. The issues range from the breakdown of the traditional family, a unspeakably low marriage rates, low educational progress and extremely high crime rates and drug usage.  There has been little improvement in recent decades, with regression under the Obama administration

If only those lost in the black community could have their eyes opened.  Recently down in Louisiana, State Senator Elbert Guillory changed to the republican party after fully comprehending what heroes like Douglass and Martin Luther King already knew.  Guillory explained "Why I Am a Republican", and this should be mandatory viewing for our friends in the black community.  Take a listen:



“This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress,” said Douglass. 

As Guillory recognizes, blacks, and for that matter, individuals ill-informed of the history and government action engaging in various forms of oppression, often welcome governance that restricts freedom and liberty through control mechanisms disguised as entitlements.  Of course, there is no free lunch.  These governmental actions are generally driven by democrats, not by republicans.

Douglass noted that "Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth."  Through leaders like C. L Bryant,  KCarl Smith of The Frederick Douglass Republicans, Ken Hutcherson,  Allen West and fine new media outlets like The Black Quill and Ink blog, it is hoped word can spread alerting the black community their future belongs to them, with their successes encouraged and embraced by all Americans.

Hopefully, as quipped by Rabbi Daniel Lapin, focus can be accurately placed upon the big G, as in God, rather than the little g, as in government. Imagine the prosperity for all.  Douglass would be teared with joy!
