The Race Card

By Rev. Wayne Perryman | 10/17/09

I fear that the accusations of racism against Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Officer Crowley and the participants of the Tea Party, are doing more harm to race relations in America than anything that I can think of in modern-day history. Playing the “race card” has frustrated and angered both conservative and independent Whites as well as conservative African Americans who feel that these false accusations of racism will eventually... read more »

Health Care For The Poor

By Rev. Wayne Perryman | 10/15/09

Dear Donna Brazile & News Organizations I have a few simple questions about health care, maybe you can help me. If Medicaid is the government program designed to provide health care for the poor and if the government has confessed that they have failed (as of this date) to sign up eight million uninsured poor individuals who currently qualify for Medicaid, why do these (poor) individuals need health insurance when they already have a... read more »

The Death of the Republican Party & Conservative Values

By Rev. Wayne Perryman | 10/11/09

After returning from a recent Republican Conference where I was the keynote speaker, I couldn’t help but to notice that the average age of most of the attendees was 60 plus. When I went to the College Republican website to look at the future of the party, I was disheartened to learn that of 20 million college students in America only 200,000 claimed that they were affiliated with the College Republicans. Today, we have more... read more »

Are Tea Party Protestors Racist?

By Rev. Wayne Perryman | 09/14/09

Approximately three weeks before the 2008 election a white pastor friend of mine asked to meet with me. He wanted my advice and counsel on how to deal with the discussions within his congregation regarding the election and what I thought would happen as a result of the election. Some of his members supported Obama and others supported McCain. After a healthy discussion on the Bible and Politics, I predicted that Obama would win in part... read more »

Why Do Republicans Distance Themselves From Lincoln

By Rev. Wayne Perryman | 08/31/09

Dear Chairman Michael Steele, Sean Hannity, Bill Orielly, Governor Huckabee & Members of the Republican Party In view of the fact that Republicans only refer to Lincoln three times on their official website and that there are no references regarding the celebration of his 200th Birthday by the Republican Party, are Republicans distancing themselves from Lincoln. If not, why do modern-day Republican relate more to Reagan than they do to... read more »

Honoring Senator Kennedy v. Honoring Abraham Lincoln

By Rev. Wayne Perryman | 08/29/09

As I write this, I am watching the most prominent people in America (both Republican and Democrat and black and white) fill the church in Boston to honor Senator Edward Kennedy, a person who deserves recognition for what he did for America, but these same persons did not come together to honor President Abraham Lincoln, a more deserving person, on his 200th Birthday. Every cable television network will cover Senator Kennedy’s funeral,... read more »

TEA Parties: Government of the People

By Rev. Wayne Perryman | 08/21/09

Did you know that Article XX (20) Section 2. of the United States Constitution suggest or implies that Congress should be a part time job and not a full time job? The article states the following: “The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall begin at noon on the 3rd day of January, unless they shall by law appoint a different day.” The early members of Congress were merchants,... read more »

Bush & Obama:Which One Lied?

By Rev. Wayne Perryman | 08/11/09

When Obama campaigned for the office of the President of the United States, he emphasized that Bush had lied about the weapons of mass destruction and he went on to make several promises from bringing our troops home within 16 months to improving our image overseas. Did he keep his promises?  And did Bush lie? Let’s take a look. A Promise of Bi-partisanship Obama promised that he would consider other points of view... read more »

Ignoring the Need for Blacks - To Win

By Rev. Wayne Perryman | 05/25/09

Lincoln’s Mistake of the Past - Republicans Mistake of the Present  With the 2010 Congressional races rapidly approaching us and the 2012 Presidential races following, critics continue to argue that Republicans need the African American vote to win the Whitehouse, a fact that many powerful white Republicans continue to ignore. Ignoring the need to recruit blacks was Lincoln’s mistake of the past and may be the... read more »

White Companies Got Billions & Blacks Got Forgotten

By Rev. Wayne Perryman | 04/30/09

As you know, during the first 100 days of his administration, Obama gave several white corporations hundreds of billion dollars to bail them out, but he has yet to provide one dime to bail out struggling black businesses in the inner-city. In fact, Obama hardly ever mentions the inner-city or African Americans in his speeches. It appears that after electing our first black president - all of the problems that once plagued African Americans and... read more »
