Jay Parker: American Revolutionary

February 9, 2013 Bartle Doo Leave a comment

There are two types of revolutionaries: those who tear down countries, and those who build them up.

Jay Parker is the revolutionary who builds his country up. In the 1960s, he chose principled patriotism and organizations like Young Americans for Freedom while liberals profanely protested and joined less reputable groups.

“Courage To Put Country Above Color” tells this epic story and how his behind-the-scenes presence closed what I call the ”conservative gap” between the Reagan Administration and like-minded American Blacks, most notably his friend and future Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Mr. Parker tackled the very touchy issue of exposing communist infiltration and backing of some of the New Left’s Black showpieces. This same courage was later demonstrated while assisting South African capitalists at war with Soviet-supported, popular liberation fronts.

Apartheid was an absolute denial of the citizenship of Black South Africans, but handing the region over to the Soviets was a line Mr. Parker wasn’t prepared to cross.

This brought him considerable heat from liberal elites and challenged my thinking as someone who youthfully opposed Reagan’s constructive engagement policies back then, despite being a conservative.

Instead of an American communist revolt, Mr. Parker spent his life fighting to preserve the American Revolution and extend its promise more fully in modern times.

We rarely hear about this type of American Black revolutionary, if at all.

His example of placing country above color is one of the reasons I founded American History Month as a conservative alternative to what’s become Black (Liberal) History Month.

In addition to Booker T. Washington (and even liberal champions of the Constitution like Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall), I am indebted to Mr. Parker.

He showed me American Blacks can be revolutionaries who build up traditional values and free markets, instead of tearing them down.

Our revolution is part and parcel of the one that freed the Thirteen Colonies from British rule.

Happy American History Month!

Support Good Cops- Not Bad Policy

Nadra Enzi Support Good Cops Not Bad Policy

Remember when Americans thought cops were on their side? Most still do, but many worry that statists will turn our police forces against us.

That’s why my motto as a police supporter is:

“I support good cops- not bad policy!”

I hate hearing about line-of-duty fatalities, including suicide, injury, or the living death of political witch hunts destroying careers and families they supported.

Unlike liberal Blacks who hate cops and love cons, I support good cops and seek to protect them from bad policy and engineered misperceptions in communities like mine.

While community relations in Black zip codes were more problematic, my grandparents’ and parents’ generations were pro-police, while also being anti-Jim Crow policing.

If they as survivors of American Apartheid didn’t blindly hate police, why should my or successive generations hate them?

Statism is a real problem, especially law enforcement in statist clutches (left or right). A liberal police state isn’t an upgrade over a conservative one, and visa versa.

I foresee growing law enforcement complaints coming from American Whites whose positive relationship with police ends as Obama police statism tightens.

Hotly debated gun bans and feared confiscation promises to be a flash point where copious complaints will flow.

To be fair, George W. Bush instituted a statist policing regime the likes of which many Americans had never seen.

His Patriot Act allowed federal agents to write their own search warrants without judicial review and enshrined unrestricted surveillance of electronic communications on par with the dreaded East German Stasi.

I’d joke that such eavesdropping always happened, but putting it in law meant Americans were really about to be placed beneath a microscope.

His being a Republican didn’t escape liberty lovers’ attention while this ordeal unfolded. Most galling to old school security conservatives like me is declaring passengers de facto inmates once arriving at airports.

This presumption of guilt, clumsily administered by his Transportation Security Administration (TSA), subjects every American to an Eastern Bloc experience few ever imagined possible.

Black folks are used to this overreach. Our history with American police began with slave catchers, private and otherwise, dogging our steps as captive Africans and Americans.

Now, our White sisters and brothers share this experience as well, and it’s no less appalling to me now that N-Word treatment has become integrated.

Statist policing is bias on gamma rays, with executives and officers so afflicted seeing themselves as institutional hulks who can smash and trample civil liberties during endless state-sanctioned rampages.

I support good cops- not bad policy.

Let’s elect folks who feel the same way. The public and police, local, state, and federal, should be on the same side.

Out Of Many: One

American ancestry is drawn from the various nations of the Earth. As such, there’s no language or custom that conceivably couldn’t be found within our ranks.

E Pluribus Unum, or “out of many one”, is a saying lost in the modern tower of Babel that’s become our contemporary culture.

We have a common language, English, despite encroachments from the Southwest, which allows us to communicate.

This language has its own diversity in the form of regional dialects and slang. Still, we do have a national tongue and should resist efforts to demote it.

My American History Month alternative to Black (Liberal) History Month isn’t only focused upon American Blacks– it includes all Americans.

Balkanizing and ghettoizing ourselves, regardless of color, accomplishes little more than making the country easy pickings for communists who’ve stirred simmering discontent for generations.

The military addressed this issue by telling recruits their new pigmentation was “green” (or whatever the service color happened to be.)

In this way, individual characteristics became the central issue, as opposed to ethnicity. While not foolproof, the military became a race relations model civilians found beneficial.

This recession has united us (those with sense at least) in a misery the likes of which hasn’t been seen since the Great Depression.

Skin tone, zip code, education, political party, and other labels succumb to the grinding need to either become allies or antagonists.

American History Month is a rallying cry to strengthen ties that bind, instead of carping about what various ethnic teams didn’t get from a high taxing Uncle Sam.

The Demo-crack party addicted all kinds of Americans in this desperate time. Those who still believe that traditional values and free markets are the answer need to join forces.

Let’s transition from lone ranger mindsets to becoming a seventh calvary riding to America’s rescue.

“Out of many: one!” is what we should keep in mind.

It doesn’t matter what ship your ancestors arrived in; we’re in the same boat now.

Happy American History Month!
