Quotes of the Day - Angela McGlowan


In honor of Black History Month, the QOTD is featuring Black Conservatives. Today's conservative is Angela McGlowan, CEO of Political Strategies & Insights (PSI), a government affairs, political strategy, public relations consulting firm. She is a best-selling author (Bamboozled: How Americans Are Being Exploited by the Lies of the Liberal Agenda) and a political/business analyst for Fox News. Interestingly, she was Miss Washington DC USA in 1994.

Below are quotes from her book:

"As the old saying goes, 'money is power' and the more money the government takes, the more power it has over individuals."

"The liberal line is that poverty is caused by a vicious brew of “institutional” racism — conservative policies promoted by racist Republicans — combined with high incarceration rates of black males. In the fashion typical of bamboozlers, these liberals have it exactly backwards. Conservative policy prescriptions aren’t the cause of underachievement for minorities and the poor, they’re the cure. And furthermore, Republicans advocate policies that recognize the innate value of all humans, as opposed to the liberal policies that demean the poor and disadvantaged by encouraging victimhood."

"The exploitation agenda advocated by liberals is modeled after the dependency-inducing design of the drug dealer’s business model: “We’ll supply the first hit for free, and after that, you’ll need us forever in order to survive.” In order for the liberal scheme to succeed, all attempts at self-empowerment or individual initiative are to be met with fierce resistance and social sanction."

“The bamboozlers’ mantra became: “We liberals are here to help you. Don’t let those evil conservatives judge you. You’re the victim! You shouldn’t have to work. Your standard of living isn’t your responsibility. It’s ours. You don’t need to marry your baby’s daddy. Uncle Sam is your baby’s daddy, and will be as long as you keep voting for us.”

“In his book White Guilt, Shelby Steele explains that white guilt remains one of the liberals’ greatest sources of power. “In the age of white guilt,” writes Steele, “whites support all manner of silly racial policies without seeing that their true motivation is simply to show themselves innocent of racism.” The bamboozlers know of this phenomenon and exploit it regularly.”

“Without any scientific justification, liberals hoodwink black and Latino parents into believing that having more minorities teach their children will improve their performance. When Wallace, Lester Maddox, and Bull Connor supported doing this, we called them racists. Isn’t it ironic that many of the advocates of this policy today belong to the same party as George Wallace and Lester Maddox?”

“There comes a moment in every young black person’s life, sometimes in college, when he or she asks a silent but powerful question: Why do we all vote for a party that’s against almost everything that’s integral to our faith? The faith that is reflected in the powerful Negro hymnals which sustained us through slavery, Jim Crow, and the civil rights movement? Are we to believe that it’s no longer relevant today? Why are we so loyal to those most hostile to our faith? It’s a question many blacks ask silently. I know I did. It’s a question that you want to tuck right back down where it came from. Well, you figure, There must be something I’ve yet to learn. There must be something I don’t know that explains why we vote against our values. Many Latinos go through the same process. But there isn’t anything that explains it. There’s fear. There’s social sanction. There’s being ostracized. And that’s it.”

“Other blacks give LBJ glowing credit for advancing the cause of civil rights. “I happen to think that Lyndon Baines Johnson was the greatest President in our nation’s history, short of Abraham Lincoln,” Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. told me. This is curious logic, to be sure. If you hate blacks all your life and then do the right thing, you’re a hero. But, if you fight for justice and equality all your life, but happen to be a Republican, such as Senator Everett Dirksen of Illinois, the real hero of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, you’re undeserving of praise and support? That doesn’t wash.”

“It’s often said that the Democrats fight “for the little guy.” That’s true: liberals fight to make sure the little guy stays little! Think about it. What if all the little guys were to prosper and become big guys? Then what? Who would liberals pretend to fight for? If the bamboozlers fight for anything, it’s to ensure that the little guy stays angry at those nasty conservatives who are holding him down.”

“Jesse Jackson and Julian Bond. See, that’s a racket — they have got to keep this information from being disseminated. They have to, if they are going to stay in place,” Secretary Alphonso Jackson said. “That’s what most black people don’t understand. The civil rights movement is unlike what Reverend King talked about — it’s a business now. So the business is to keep us uninformed — that’s the business. Isn’t it amazing that Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, and Rod Paige have never been on the cover of Jet, Ebony, or Essence, or Black Enterprise magazine? Isn’t it amazing?”

“It’s often said that the Democrats fight “for the little guy.” That’s true: liberals fight to make sure the little guy stays little! Think about it. What if all the little guys were to prosper and become big guys? Then what? Who would liberals pretend to fight for?
