National Urban League endangers the state of Black America

When organizations call for change in order to assist certain groups in a nation, it is good, especially when there is a call for moral change.

However, when these organizations can only propose government as the great "messiah" or saviour, then they have definitely run out of creative ideas. Either that, or they are just too lazy to to come up with real solutions.

Star Parker had a look at the State of Black America report from the National Urban League (NUL) and shows concern, not just for Black America, but for the proposed solutions by organizations such as NUL:

"Shouldn't it embarrass black Americans that one the nation's largest and most prestigious civil rights organizations offers a long list of proposals to improve black life in our country, and every single proposal is a government program?

"Government funded jobs as the answer to unemployment, more government money in public schools, government health care, government business loans, government money for retirement accounts, government programs for counseling homebuyers, government worker training programs, government money for building construction, and on and on.

"There's not a single proposal that I could find in a several hundred-page report about improving black life that does not start with government. The civil rights movement once was about freedom and liberation. Now it's about government dependency. We should be ashamed."

Parker says RNC chairman, Steele, must go

Star Parker, founder and president of the Coalition for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE), wrote in an article that the new Republican National Committee chairman, Michael Steele, should step down.

"From what I see, the Republican National Committee representatives who picked Michael Steele as their new chairman made a mistake. I think Steele ought to step aside.

"It pains me to say it. But it pains me more to watch the opposition party, the Republican Party, spin aimlessly and leaderless, while the Obama administration shreds to pieces, with ruthless focus and discipline, everything that this country stands for.

"Yes, of course, the defining moment for me is the recent GQ magazine interview in which Steele sounds more like a Democrat than a Republican. Does a woman have a right to choose abortion? 'Yeah. Absolutely.' Is homosexual behavior something an individual can choose? 'It's like saying, "Tomorrow morning I'm gonna stop being black."'"

Obama is no Lincoln

Star Parker shows why Obama cannot be compared to Lincoln in her article Obama has little in common with Lincoln.

While Obama seeks "unity" to the exclusion of truth, Parker writes:

"Lincoln, too, sought unity. But Lincoln's notion of where national unity would lie was far different from Obama's.

"He prophetically stated the challenge after accepting the Republican nomination for the senate in 1858.

"'A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure half slave and half free. I do not expect the union to be dissolved. I do not expect the House to fall. But I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.'

"As historian Harry Jaffa points out, 'For Lincoln, as for Jefferson and for all genuine supporters of the principles of the Declaration of Independence, the distinction between right and wrong is antecedent to any form of government and is independent of any man's or any majority's will.'"

Economic freedom declines in the U.S.

In the annual compendium, Economic Freedom of the World, Canada's Fraser Institute shows that the United States has dropped in its economic freedom ranking from no. 2 to no. 8 between 2000 and 2008. The only countries that worsened more during the same period are Zimbabwe, Argentina, Niger, Venezuela, and Guyana.

Star Parker, from the Coalition on Urban Renewal and Education wrote:

"It stands to reason that if all it takes is a smooth talking politician to expropriate the property of individuals or businesses, that the ability and willingness to work, save, invest and do business will suffer. And that prosperity will decline.

"Barack Obama is running for president to save us from ourselves and give politicians even more sway over our private lives and property. He's telling us that it's 'Wall Street CEOs whose greed and irresponsibility got us into this mess.'

"But Obama sat by in silence as the Senate tried to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2005. And he's taken $126,349 in contributions from Fannie and Freddie, second highest in the Senate (only behind Banking Committee chairman Chris Dodd)."
