Author Says Black Liberalism, Kwanzaa, Are ‘Anti-God’

DETROIT (Talk Radio 1270) Dependence on welfare and celebrating Kwanzaa are “anti-God,” according to an author who visited the Charlie Langton show Friday morning to outline where he believes religion and liberalism have failed black people.

Stacy Swimp

Stacy Swimp, a spokesman for black conservative group Project 21, has a basic premise that says church communities — like the large ones in Detroit — are ruining black culture by embracing liberalism. He also believes any religion that embraces liberalism is hypocritical, Swimp said. Read Swimp’s entire article on the subject HERE.

He specifically takes aim at Kwanzaa, the African American-themed celebration of Christmas. The celebration is based on seven principles, including unity, self-determination, responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith. Swimp believes it’s a liberal ruse.

“Black liberals who are professing to embrace these so-called principles are actually deceiving themselves, because liberalism is a direct affront to each of the principles taught in the Kwanzaa celebration,” Swimp wrote. “I would, quite honestly, be very excited if liberals where to actually put into practice these principles which they so superficially celebrate.”

Swimp added that “no conservative” celebrates Kwanzaa, which he describes as an anti-God, anti-American celebration meant to distract black people from the true meaning of Christmas.
Detroit’s Rev. D. Alexander Bullock also appeared on the show, saying everything Swimp said was nonsense.
“I do celebrate Kwanzaa, celebrate Christmas as well,” Bullock said. “First of all, the brother (Swimp) has said black liberals … don’t believe in God, that’s not true. If there is somebody who has a liberal philosophy, like say, Dr. Martin Luther King … He’s a man of faith, he would be a black liberal.”

Swimp said churches support liberalism when they have large parishes of people on welfare, in and out of prison, have unmarried people with children, and tell women they should be able to choose an abortion. And many of those same churches urge the celebration of Kwanzaa, he believes.

“When 80 percent of the (Planned Parenthood) clinics are located in black urban communities, that tells you something,” Swimp said.

 

Swimp believes a lot of black people who celebrate Kwanzaa and hypocrites because they don’t follow the principles of traditional Christian religion, although they do go to church.

“Concern for the poor is a good thing,” Bullock said, adding, “To equate concern for the poor with slavery … If conservatives were in control, then Lincoln would not have emancipated African Americans, we would still be in slavery.”

Swimp said, “You don’t enable people you care about (with welfare).”

As the talk got more heated — and broad — caller Leroy in Detroit weighed in, saying, “Black people are now in worse condition than we were when we came out of slavery, employment, disease — we’re behind in everything, and we weren’t like that before. Look at Detroit Public Schools, where kids graduate who can’t even read.”

Several noted that 97 percent of people who voted in the last election in Detroit voted for Barack Obama for president. “Detroit is one of the poorest urban communities in this country … It is the most economically deprived community in the nation and most of the leaders in this city are liberal Democrats … They want to blame conservatives for their own self-destruction,” Swimp said.

Rev. Bullock said, “I can be proud of the (president’s) franchise, black people decided who they were going to vote for and they voted … It’s the liberal voters that created education, Detroit was a booming city, all of that was the result of liberal policies.” He added that later unfair trade policies sent jobs overseas and destroyed the local economy.

But liberals are moving away from religion and toward atheism, chimed in Jackie Paige, a local TV and radio personality, noting that isn’t a good trend for Rev. Bullock and his powerful Detroit churches.

“I see a hunger for a spiritual awareness, it that’s Christianity fine, if that’s Islam fine … But find a spirituality that fits you,” Bullock said.

He added: ”I got a dream that Stacy will get his mind together.”

Perhaps If He Knew His Teachers Were Armed? 6th Grader Brings Gun For Protection

Authorities say a Utah sixth-grader caught with a gun at school told administrators he brought the weapon to defend himself in case of an attack similar to the mass shooting last week in Newtown, Conn.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports that two classmates at West Kearns Elementary School reported the gun to a teacher toward the end of the school day Monday.

Granite School District spokesman Ben Horsley says the teacher "immediately apprehended the student," and police responded shortly after.

Horsley tells KSL-TV that an unloaded gun and ammunition were found in the 11-year-old's backpack. Authorities have not released the child's name.

Horsley says school police are investigating reports that the boy pointed the gun at another child's head. He says such accounts haven't been confirmed.

Authorities say no one was injured.

Taxpayers take a 50% Hit as Government sells of GM Stock

Taxpayers take 50% loss in GM 'investment.' So, for a mere $40 Billion loss, we 'saved' a select few people's jobs. Some are more 'special' than others. For $40 Billion, three times as many jobs could have been created than were saved. Good investment?

A few days after divesting its stake in the firm that started it all, AIG, and at a profit at that (ignoring that the risk has merely been onboarded by the Fed whose DV01 is now $2+ billion as a result), the US Treasury continues to divest of all its bailout stake, this time proceeding to GM, where the channel stuffing firm just announced it would buyback 200MM shares from the US government at a price of $27.50. More importantly, the "Treasury said it intends to sell its other remaining 300.1 million shares through various means in an orderly fashion within the next 12-15 months, subject to market conditions. Treasury intends to begin its disposition of those 300.1 million common shares as soon as January 2013 pursuant to a pre-arranged written trading plan. The manner, amount, and timing of the sales under the plan are dependent upon a number of factors." Assuming a price in the $27.50 range, this implies a nearly 50% loss on the government's breakeven price of $54. So much for the "profit" spin. One hopes all those Union votes were well worth the now booked $40+ billion cost to all taxpayers.

One wonders why the US government did not open up this particular buyback to a public tender: after all some taxpayers may still care about the financial mismanagement of Uncle Sam. Then again, perhaps not.

From GM:

General Motors today said it will purchase 200 million shares of GM common stock held by the U.S. Department of the Treasury for $5.5 billion, or $27.50 per share. The share buyback is part of the Treasury’s plan, also announced today, to fully exit its entire holdings of GM stock within 12 to 15 months, subject to market conditions.

Treasury has announced its intention to sell its remaining shares of common stock into the market through various means and in an orderly fashion. Treasury intends to begin its disposition of its remaining shares as soon as January 2013, consistent with a pre-arranged written trading plan. In addition, Treasury has agreed to relinquish certain governance rights that were included in the U.S. Treasury Secured Credit Agreement with GM.

“This announcement is an important step in bringing closure to the successful auto industry rescue, it further removes the perception of government ownership of GM among customers, and it demonstrates confidence in GM’s progress and our future,” said Dan Akerson, chairman and CEO of GM.

Dan Ammann, senior vice president and CFO added, “A fortress balance sheet has been a pillar of GM’s financial strategy and has enabled us to undertake today’s actions. GM’s balance sheet will remain very strong, with estimated liquidity of approximately $38 billion at the end of 2012, following the closing of the share buyback.”

The repurchase price of $27.50 per share represents a 7.9 percent premium over the closing price on December 18, 2012. The share buyback is expected to close by the end of the year. This transaction will be accretive to earnings per share, as GM’s total shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis will be reduced by approximately 11 percent. In association with this share buyback, GM expects to take a charge of approximately $400 million in the fourth quarter, which will be treated as a special item.

After the repurchase, Treasury will continue to own approximately 300 million shares of GM common stock, or approximately 19 percent of the outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis. Government ownership of GM stock was the result of the auto industry rescue that began under President George W. Bush in 2008 and which was expanded by President Barack Obama in 2009.

The industry in general, and GM in particular, have rebounded sharply since the rescue. Since the rescue, GM has announced investments of more than $7.3 billion in the U.S. and created or retained more than 20,000 jobs.

“We come to work every day grateful that taxpayers from the US and Canada stepped forward to rescue our industry, and determined to show this extraordinary help was worth it,” Akerson said.

Mayan Calendar: Genesee, Lapeer County(Michigan) Schools Closed Rest Of Week Over Fear Of Violence

FLINT, MI -- Schools in Genesee County will be closed Thursday and Friday after threats of violence allegedly tied to the end of the Mayan calendar swirled around area school districts. The Genesee Intermediate School District offered this statement:

"It is clear that last Friday changed all of us. As educators, we acknowledge, and we believe our communities would agree, that schools are at the center of concern right now. As school district Superintendents we have been in constant communication with one another and there are too many unique factors that have influenced our unanimous decision to cancel school and all school activities for Thursday, December 20 and Friday, December 21."

Lapeer Schools cancel classes for the remainder of the week
LAPEER, Mich. (WJBK) -- Lapeer Community Schools will be closed for the rest of the week because of a potential threat of violence.

The superintendent says there is no credible threat at this time -- just rumors.

However, in light of the Connecticut school shooting last week and the Mayan's prediction of an apocalypse this Friday, school officials have decided to keep students at home.

Obama coming after our guns?

President Barack Obama is launching an administration-wide effort to curb gun violence, underscoring the growing political consensus over tightening gun restrictions following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newton Connecticut last week.

In reality mass shootings are down in the U.S.

Grant Duwe, a criminologist with the Minnesota Department of Corrections who has written a history of mass murders in America, said that while mass shootings rose between the 1960s and the 1990s, they actually dropped in the 2000s. And mass killings actually reached their peak in 1929, according to his data. He estimates that there were 32 in the 1980s, 42 in the 1990s and 26 in the first decade of the century.

Chances of being killed in a mass shooting, he says, are probably no greater than being struck by lightning.

Photos & Video: Union Thug That Hit News Reporter Steven Crowder Named Tony?

 

 

"I'll kill the motherf*cker with a gun!" Screams a union protester at Steven Crowder after attacking him

 

 

 

 

The IBEW local is 876, Grand Rapids, MI.

 

... 

About 1:32 in the video his whole name flashes on the screen. 

Crowder's statement on the video:

"The video is self explanatory.  I was sucker-punched 4 times on camera, without retaliation, choked, and the AFP tent is torn to the ground with women and children inside of it.  Extremely violent footage."

Liberal Left, Blames American's For Prosperity and Tea Party For Union Violence

The progressive news blog Electablog, run by Chris Savage, is running a fairy tale story on their blog.  They are blaming American's For Prosperity for tearing down their own tent, Clint Tarver for destroying his own Hot Dog Stand to profit, and Fox News Reporter Steven Crowder was there to incite violence, not record history.

In their article, Electablog states that Clint Tarver is lying about the person in Guy Fawkes mask saying that no person was near the tent.  Yet in their video trying to prove that AFP took down tent you clearly see the person in Guy Fawkes mask at the 1:04 minute mark as shown below.

The article also singles out Stacy Swimp who is a well known African- American Conservative activist in Michigan and President of the Fredrick Douglas Society and Howell, Michigan Tea Party Leader, Wendy Lynn Day.  

Stacy Swimp responded to the liberal attack on him and Wendy Lynn Day by saying:

"Liberals are saying that the Americans for Prosperity-Michigan supporters pulled down their own tent.

Of course, the are now attacking Clint Tarver and anyone else who has testified against union racism and violence.

They talk EXTENSIVELY about me in this article and others that I have seen. One liberal "Doctor" said "Swimp was clearly in charge"! lol!!

They have a video clip of me telling Wendy Lynn Day to go inside the tent and claim that, at the same time, people in the tent where asking folks to leave.

What they do not know is that my major concern was getting Wendy and the women out of harms way, as the men started getting more and more aggressive. Wendy, Amy Hagerstrom and any woman who was near me, can tell you that I focused especially on making sure they were safe.

I had no way of knowing what was going on inside of the tent, until I entered it shortly after, which I did realize it was now moving towards evacuation.

Ironically, liberals are not accusing me of any wrong doing, except to say that I intentionally wanted to move women in the tent to make it look like they were victims! Lol!!

We will not allow these lies to discourage us.

Truth crushed to the ground will rise again!!"

If Americans For Properity were responsible for the destruction of their own tent, please explain this video:

“An hour after the Americans for Prosperity tent is destroyed on the Michigan Capitol lawn, a demonstrator in a Teamster jacket cuts shards from the tarp and hands out as souvenirs,” reads the video’s description.

Why were they collecting “souvenirs”?

According to one woman in the video, AFP workers were holding signs accusing union workers of being “sleazeballs” and “lazy.” However, there is no evidence to back up this claim.

Meanwhile, unions and their left-wing allies have accused AFP of staging the whole thing
