Black Founder James Armistead

The Revolutionary War was the most amazing war America went through.  It brought us freedom and trials; our trials made us great.  The war should have been won by the British and we should be speaking English... wait... I guess we have a different style of English, at least we don't spell color with a "u". (colour)    

James Armistead was an instrumental part in our victory over the Brits.  He was born into slavery in 1748, and in 1781 he pledged his allegiance to the American forces by volunteering to spy on the Brits.  He wandered into the British camp and convinced General Cornwallis, the Americans were horrible and he wanted to serve the British.  James Armisteads service to the British was that of a forager, a butler to the general.  Through his service, he was able to pick up vital information for America.  

While acting as a spy, James Armistead was approached by General Cornwallis to spy on the Americans.  Now a double agent for America, he sent misleading information to the British while providing information for America.  His information aided many victories and cause the war to end much sooner.  James Armistead was emancipated in 1786 and highly rewarded for his contributions.  He assumed the name Lafayette and lived happily every after...

I am very thankful for his selfless actions through the war.  He sacrificed his life as a slave, even when he was unsure he would be granted freedom.  There are many Black founding fathers in our countries history and I challenge you to do the research.  This information is vital to our understanding and growth in America.  Once again I want to commemorate Texas for working the truth into our education.  It is a travesty this was ignored in our history books.

American Black Founding Fathers

Our country would not be the same without the help of all our American brothers.  My education K-12, was limited when it comes to the truth.  I don't remember learning or reading about any black founding fathers; moreover, I was under the impression all blacks were slaves during the revolutionary war.  When I found this information on the founding fathers, I was profoundly upset to be lied to by our historians.

We would not be the country we are today without the help of many black founders.  Founders like Peter Salem, Prince Whipple, James Armistead, Fredrick Douglas, and many more.  These men deserve similar respect to those we currently recognize.  I would love to cover them all in this blog; however, these men deserve much more.  I will cover them individually over time.

Peter Salem was born into slavery, but was given freedom from Lawson Buckminist.  He enlisted to military service, and fought in the revolutionary war.  His main contribution in the war, was in the Battle of Bunker Hill.  British Major John Pitcairn rallied his troops for a second charge when Peter Salem shot him through the head after he chanted, "The day is ours."  This vital shot discouraged the British troops allowing the American soldiers to retreat.  The Battle was a loss; however, this battle left half the British army dead compared to the 400 Americans.  Moreover, it proved American soldiers were true masters of war.

This man was enslaved from birth, and still loved our country enough to risk death.  This is true bravery and love for our country.  His first term of service ended after the Battle of Bunker hill; however, he reenlists to fight in Saratoga and Stony Point.  We are in debt to men like Peter Salem and should be grateful stories like this will be apart of the new textbook curriculum, established by Texas.

November is Looking Good

The people of this country are waking up to the ugly side of America. It is about time. The agendas of our legislative branch are much different than those of the people, and with Tuesdays primaries, the people are telling our representatives we won't stand for it.

What a wonderful day and wonderful news for our country. Obama is 0/4 with delegates he personally backs for office. I would like to see him personally back all of the candidates that are left in office. Regardless of their political opinions. He is soundly defeating himself, and I think it is a good sign to see Americans ignoring the President's opinion. He is obviously ignoring everything we are saying and suggesting, so why should we listen to anything he says. Like Glenn Beck says, "Don't listen to Obama's words; Watch his actions."

So far we are seeing new representatives in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Massachusetts, West Virginia, and Utah. This is a very good sign. We need new blood in the legislative branches and I think we are on the right path. (It is possible I missed some states, so comment below if you know of any more)

Che Guevara

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am getting really sick of seeing this socialist piece of **** on American clothing. He was a horrible person and did not support anything the American people stand for.

Che Guevara was a murdering Stalinist, with an ego the size of Texas. Che is hailed as a visionary in the eyes of Rock-stars, Movie-stars, and people around the world. They see him as a freedom fighter, fighting for the lives of his country and unfortunate victims around the world. He is highly respected in the gay community, and progressives around the country quote his words. What would Che have said to his American followers?

Guevara is personally responsible for 180 documented cases of murder, documented with multiple eye witnesses. How many total cases this mass-murder is accountable for,remains in question; humanitarian? (Please note, this list does not include victims of war) The victims were put to death, because they didn't agree with the political Stalinist view of Che Guevara. Che saw his revolution so necessary, it meant overseeing the murder of 20 million of his own people. Who was this "freedom fighter" fighting for?

To the followers of Che Guevara. Che was an extreme supporter of Cuba's 1960's censorship ideals. The Castrist regime forced Stalinist opinions to the televisions and radios, and forced most musicians out of the country. Che openly bashed, jailed, and murdered homosexuals. Moreover, he said this, "I have no house, wife, children, parents, or brothers; my friends are friends as long as they think like me, politically." He would not agree with any of you; He would fight to silence you.

Pass this message to those around you who support this Stalinist mass-murder blindly. He is not a person worthy of our praise. Moreover, Che Guevara isn't worthy to be pictured on our toiletries. He stood for death and repression and spoke words of hate. Americans stand for freedom and liberty, and we are blessed with freedom of speech.

I Agree with CBS?

I don't think CBS is completely liberal, but they are more on the left of the medial dial than I care to see. I realize I cannot ask for our current news stations to stay neutral, but as long as they are going to take sides; I am going to limit the amount of news I intake from them.

CBS conducted a survey on Nancy Pelosi's rating with viewers. I wasn't shocked to see their viewers were at a 52 percent uninformed rate (undecided), but I was shocked to see the informed viewers had Nancy Pelosi rated, with the remaining 48 percent, 37 percent unfavored. I was very much excited to see these results. This woman has lost touch with the will and wants of American voters. Nobody, that pays attention, likes you Pelosi! Her last blunder had my blood pressure through the roof, and I am 26 years old.

Nanci Pelosi told Christian leaders, "Preaching amnesty in our church is a manifestation of us living the gospel." Is the devil allowed to advise Christian leaders on their sermons? HOW DARE YOU INVOLVE RELIGION IN OUR STATE AFFAIRS! I swear there is a rule against this somewhere (sarcastically toned). I get it Pelosi, 14.2 million Hispanic Americans are Christian, and you need their voice. Amnesty is not the answer the American people want; 67 percent of Americans want better boarder control, and 45 percent of LIBERALS disagree with amnesty. Wait... 45 percent of Liberals disagree...with amnesty? This is AMAZING! This is a perfect example of our congress attending to their own agenda.

Regardless if you are for or against amnesty, the American people do not want amnesty. We do not want our laws tossed aside because you (Federal Gov) won't do your job. Our government is in shambles; our government doesn't think the American people will take this power away. We need to prove them wrong. America, we need to clean house (literally). What do you think?
