The passing of the greatest

As we all mourn the passing of Cassius Clay,later to be known as Muhammad Ali we look at all the areas of his life. Sports fans and sports media will profile his boxing career. Here we will discuss his fights outside the boxing ring. This was back in the '60's and 70's. Things were a lot different then than they are today in 2016. Racist Jim Crow laws were still in place throughout the American south with the Ku Klux Klan calling the shots. In a environment such as this you can see how blacks were genuinely oppressed. Ali's refusal to fight in Vietnam was a noble one. His reasons very sound and very accurate. Why should a black man die for a racist country that mistreats him? Ali pointed out that unlike the KKK,the Vietcong did nothing to him and he has no ill will toward them. Those are very sound reasons. Ali refused to help his oppressors. He even told them that if they didn't like it they could send him to jail. A lot of brave men throughout history sacrificed their livelihoods to do the right thing. Edward Snowden is a recent example. Just as Ali's actions initially caused him a lot of trouble he was later vindicated but he did bounce back to retire in 1981. Not only that but it made him a hero. Ali was fighting not only a boxing opponent but a racist society that was content to keep him down but failed to do so. Muhammad Ali is more than a boxing champ. He is an American hero.

From Freedom Works:

You’ve seen what a handful of real conservatives can do in the U.S. Senate.

You’ve seen the impact Rand Paul, Mike Lee, and Ted Cruz made in the Senate. They’ve made all the difference in the world, but they need support. That’s why FreedomWorks PAC is already working hard to elect real conservative leaders.

Leaders like Rep. Ron DeSantis. Ron is running for the U.S. Senate in Florida. He has a 92% lifetime score with FreedomWorks, and a 95% with Heritage Action. He’s a veteran of the Iraq War. And, one of his opponents is liberal Democrat Alan Grayson. You’ll remember Alan Grayson. He compared tea partiers and conservatives like you to the KKK. We can’t let Grayson win.

That’s why we need to elect Ron DeSantis. And that’s why I’m asking you to support his campaign today. 100% of your donation to will go directly to Ron’s campaign. Will you help ensure the next Senator from Florida is a veteran that stands up for our conservative values by donating just $5 to Ron’s campaign today?

Rep. Ron DeSantis has spent years fighting the corrupt Obama administration. He fought for the truth on Benghazi, he fought Common Core, and he fought to defund ObamaCare. Ray, Rep. Ron DeSantis fought for the values you and I believe in. He’s fought for them in Iraq, and he’s fought for them in DC. We can’t let Ron DeSantis lose to a liberal Democrat who thinks you and I are racists. Will you join in me in standing with Rep. Ron DeSantis by donating $5 directly to his campaign right now?

Let’s show the world that freedom works!

In Liberty,

Grayson the disgrace

Controversial Democrat Alan Grayson has set off a flurry of criticism from conservatives after the Florida congressman sent out a fundraising email to supporters in which he compared the tea party to the Ku Klux Klan.

Grayson’s original comments came during a recent appearance on MSNBC’s “Politics Nation with Al Sharpton.” Grayson was discussing the tea party’s influence on the Republican Party when he said, “At this point, the tea party is no more popular than the Klan.”

And rather than shy away from that comment, Grayson included them in bold letters on his website with the quote taking readers directly to a fundraising page for Grayson’s re-election campaign.

Grayson’s fundraising page includes the image of a burning cross; it uses the cross as the letter “T” and spells out “tea party” in flaming letters:

"As a black Tea Party activist, I could say that there's nothing more offensive than equating the Tea Party with the Ku Klux Klan,” Jennifer Burke, National Outreach Director for TheTeaParty.net said in a statement emailed to Yahoo News. “The hate speech uttered by sitting congressman Alan Grayson is deplorable, even by the low levels reached in recent years when Democrats routinely call us racists and suicide bombers."

Grayson’s comments were also criticized by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).

There’s no excuse for the hateful words and imagery used by Congressman Grayson,” NRCC spokesman Matt Gorman said in a statement. “House Democrats should swiftly and strongly condemn him and return the money he has raised for them. This hate-filled rhetoric has Americans fed up with Washington.”

Grayson is no stranger to controversy. First elected to Congress in 2008, he regularly was an outspoken critic of Republicans and conservatives in general. He was voted out of office after his first term, and many observers expected him to take a role as an activist outside of government. However, Grayson was re-elected in 2012 and is considered a strong favorite for re-election in 2014.

Despite the criticism over his KKK comparison, Grayson has stood by his comments and subsequent fundraising effort. He pointed to offensive comments and signage that appeared at past tea party rallies to justify his own comments.

“Tea Party members have circulated countless altered pictures depicting President Obama and the First Lady as monkeys. Tea Party members also called my fellow Member of Congress, civil rights hero John Lewis, a ‘n***ger,’ and Rep. Barney Frank a ‘faggot,’” Grayson said in a statement. “One could go on and on, because there is overwhelming evidence that the Tea Party is the home of bigotry and discrimination in America today, just as the KKK was for an earlier generation. If the shoe fits, wear it.”

This guy goes on Al Shapton's show and calls the tea party racist? First of all Al Sharpton is an anti-white racist so the hypocrisy is staggering.
