THINK SQUAD: Chicago blacks say Democrats are “clueless about how mad they’ve made black folk” in last year
I’m just back from a breakfast downtown with members of a group of prominent Chicago blacks who informally call themselves “The Think Squad” (Thinkers, for short). What I’m about to tell you is straight from the source and uncensored…and incredibly shocking in many ways, particularly if you’re a Democrat who thinks blacks will always do what the party wants no matter what the party does to alienate blacks. The biggest unreported story in this election is the ANGER being directed at Democrats from not just the pulpits of black churches…but in the circles of black female friends who are often the “Big Mommas” to their families. These black women are furious with the Democrat Party and Barack Obama and are encouraging their families to just sit home on Election Day. Additionally, these Thinkers are now openly calling Obama “Bathhouse Barry” for the first time ever…which indicates the reports of Obama’s gay sexual activity in the sleazy Chicago bathhouse Man’s Country have saturated the electorate at this point. If “Big Mommas” are calling Obama a “punk” and a “cake boy”, it’s on like Donkey Kong, folks.
I got the call late last night asking me if I wanted to have breakfast with a few friends from the Think Squad before they headed to work in the Loop. I never know who’s going to be at these get-togethers, other than my contact for the group who’s been a good friend of mine for the entirety of the time I’ve lived in Chicago. She’s one of the first friends I met here, when I worked a fundraising project for a black dance group and through this friend was connected with people from other black nonprofits in the arts who needed a hand here or there with events, mailings, ghostwriting, etc. Before Barack Obama divided the country on racial lines and used Alinsky Methods to polarize and alienate people, I used to do a lot of work with different groups on Chicago’s Southside…but all that came to a crashing halt in “The Golden Age of Hope and Change” when Obama’s campaign and cultists declared that anyone who didn’t support him was an enemy who had to be destroyed. Unfortunately, a lot of blacks in Chicago got caught up in this zealotry and they burned bridges with people like me who were punished for a few years for not backing Obama.
All of that started to change this year, in the spring…but I wasn’t able at the time to pick up on WHY the residual animosity from the racially-charged 2008 campaign was dissipating now. People who wouldn’t talk to me during the Obama campaign and its aftermath are friendly once again, often with a knowing look and a shake of the head in “I don’t know what I was thinking” spirit (stopping short of apologizing for being total jerks in the name of Obama, but making up for it by picking up the check to breakfast on occasion…or inviting me to cookouts or church roast beef dinners…because we’re friends like that again). This is really a big deal because to initiate this thaw and rebuild burnt bridges these Chicago blacks had to first come to terms with the fact that Barack Obama really was bad for the country…which means the people who tried to stop him were in fact the good guys after all. I’m happy to have a lot of these people back in my life again and see that yes, indeed, the damage Barack Obama did to America can in fact be repaired after all.
One of the things that’s often lost (or purposefully ignored by the Ministry of Truth that is the national media) when talking about race in this country is how truly decent and generous of spirit black people are, by and large, and how important “doing right” really is to them and their families (especially those who go to church regularly or are involved in community programs and activities). The years 2008-2012 and all the nastiness that Obama’s presidency brought out in the black community are an anomalous product of too many black people being revved up along racial lines by the reckless rhetoric of a man who decided to falsely charge anyone who opposed him with racism. I’m sure you remember how Obama and his surrogates declared Geraldine Ferraro, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Sarah Palin to be racists because they at various times in the campaign stood in the way of Obama getting what he wanted…so they were targeted, frozen, personalized, and polarized as “racists” in classic Alinsky fashion to remove them as obstacles to Obama’s rise to power (that’s Alinsky Rule #13, for those keeping score). For decades, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Henry Gates have been training black people to unthinkingly rise up and attack whenever one of the self-appointed “Justice Brothers” declared someone on the political scene a “racist” who had to be destroyed. This actually became a fun hobby for some in the black community, because screaming and yelling and attacking the chosen target was something colorful and lively to do every once in a while whenever the Justice Brothers sent out word it was time to get riled up again.
Members of the black community who are disgusted by how the Democrat Party treats blacks like animals and uses them as weapons or political pawns have formed these informal “Think Squad” groups coast to coast, which are underground salons of free thought wherever black professionals get together to talk openly about the anger black people feel about Democrats today.
“Black folk are mad, they are mad as Hell, and they ain’t going to take this anymore”, one of the Think Squad members told me soon after I joined the table in the second floor restaurant at the Marriott hotel on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago. She was already sipping coffee and munching on a cinnamon roll, and between bites she told me that the black community at large is furious that nothing “got better at all for nobody” with Obama in the White House. “People expected a lot because that punk promised so much and what did he give anyone? JACK S***, that’s what”. She chomped onto that gooey sweet roll like she was biting Barack Obama’s head off in effigy.
This prompted knowing smirks and affirmations from the other four Thinkers at the table, forming a consensus that many black people who were jubilant with Obama’s election in 2008 are disappointed and angry in 2012 because their lives are the worse for having him in office. Black people are angry that unemployment is so high in places like the Southside of Chicago and that Obama’s been “looking for votes from illegals by giving Mexicans amnesty” and thus taking away jobs from black people. Tensions between blacks and Spanish-speakers in Chicago are at the highest levels ever because it’s true that Hispanics have largely replaced blacks in the City’s preferred hiring protocols; this means that jobs that used to go to blacks on the Southside are now going to people who don’t speak English and are in the country illegally. Democrats are seen as pushing this because Mexican colonists here in Chicago are easy to control and completely dependent on the Democrat party because they can’t get work legally without the proper papers…but Democrats have ways of looking the other way and paying these people anyway, so long as they do the Democrats’ bidding.
Obama is seen as encouraging all this, while simultaneously enjoying the perks of being president without wanting the responsibility of delivering on any of his promises. I’ve long called Obama “Miss Thang” for behaving this way, but the Think Squad has other names for him.
“He’s not a president as much as he’s a celebrity now, and people kind of see him like they do Beyonce or Chris Brown or Sean John or whoever,” a Thinker who works in the medical field told me. ”Sure, they get excited seeing him on TV or whatever and they like that he’s on a magazine cover but they aren’t buying that magazine and proudly holding it up to their own face saying ‘this is my guy, my Barack’ anymore. Those days are long gone. Now they’re looking at it and a lot of them are calling him a punk and saying ‘that’s Bathhouse Barry right there’ because the stories are out that Barack had sex in bathhouses with men and probably has AIDS now”.
Since she’s a doctor, I asked this Thinker if she believes the current President of the United States has HIV or AIDS but she refused to speculate. ”Something is wrong with him physically, that’s for sure, but I won’t go there. It could be a lot of things. He’s clearly on drugs of some kind though and I don’t think he has a prescription for any of them, if you catch the drift. He sure looks a lot different in the face than the did when he took office and it’s not just that they all age so much in the White House”.
That was a reference to the common belief that men who’ve become president seem to age rapidly for mysterious reasons…and that Obama looks worse at this point him his presidency than any of his predecessors. Clearly he’s not a hard worker and is not staying up late at night reading policy papers or intelligence briefings…so why on Earth DOES he look so terrible all the time? Speculation in Chicago is rampant these days.
“He’s got ‘The Slims’, it’s plain as day. He got The Slims screwing around in the hot tub or whatever they do in those places. He’s a punkass cake boy is what he is and I can see it,” an older Thinker said as breakfast started hitting the table. For the uninitiated, “The Slims” is black slang for HIV/AIDS; a “punkass” or “punk” is an effeminate black man who’s either gay or was the submissive while in a prison relationship; and a “cake boy” is another black slang term for either a gay man or a very effeminate man who is most likely gay. None of these are flattering terms for a black man, as you can imagine.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard anyone in the Think Squad so openly talk about Barack Obama being gay or his days as “Bathhouse Barry”; in the past, the Thinkers were more roundabout in this area…they’d drop little jokes and would engage in innuendo and knowing winks, but they’d never just flat-out call him Bathhouse Barry and talk about him having AIDS because of unprotected, bareback sex in gay bathhouses. But they sure are doing that now…and it didn’t take long, however, to realize this is because of the issue of GLOBE Magazine that hit the checkout aisles on October 1st…which had a big cover story on Obama’s days in Man’s Country bathhouse here in Chicago. It was awkward and amusing at the table that all the Thinkers knew about the GLOBE story but didn’t realize that I’m actually one of the sources who was interviewed for that piece (my picture’s even in the article). I’m not sure if any of them read the full article or just saw the giant headline while they were at the store, but “Bathhouse Barry” is a name they all repeatedly called Obama during breakfast so it’s saturated in a way this story never has before. EVERYONE in the black community is talking about Barack Obama having risky bathhouse sex with men before he became a US Senator and most of these people think he caught HIV as a result. This news is BURNING UP in the black community coast to coast.
“Bathhouse Barry, that’s right. That punkass. Can’t do nothing right, can’t fool nobody, can’t keep d***s out of his mouth. I know the score on that one. You don’t need to show me no magazine about it. It’s written all over his face. He’s got cake all up in him. Puh-lease”, a Thinker said while eating her waffle and bacon. A round of mocking followed this, with plenty of jabs at Obama for being gay and for Michelle being married to him just for the money and perks. It was completely unclear whether any of these Thinkers realized I was gay too, but they relished mocking Obama for engaging in relationships with men like Reggie Love.
More than a few minutes went by with the Thinkers crossing the line into pretty ribald territory, laughing loudly as they described in graphic detail what they believed Reggie does to the sitting US president while they’re lying down together somewhere in the White House. It was laughter to the point of tears as these black women at times lost their breath hooting and hollering over “Obama and Reggie”, with Obama being described exclusively as “the woman” in that relationship.
If the Think Squad is any indication, then black people have no respect for Obama anymore. The Bathhouse Barry stories were “the last straw for a lot of people”, according to a Thinker who told me she was in the Jewel grocery store in Bronzeville at 35th and King when that GLOBE was on the stands and she’d see people excitedly flipping through it, calling others over to look, and hearing them shout “Oh, hell no! No he didn’t! Barack is a punk! Obama is a bitch!”.
And then people would hoot, holler, and laugh at him.
This is the part of the story of the 2012 election that the Ministry of Truth that is the national media will never tell you. Black people voted in record numbers for Obama back in 2008 because they mostly knew nothing about him and just wanted to see someone who looked like them become president. They got caught up in the excitement. Even some of the Thinkers admit they voted for Obama just because it “was time” to have a black president. Now they wish it could have been “someone who knew what he was doing and was a real man” instead of Obama who became the “first black president”. There’s a great sense of disappointment that history was squandered on a punk who didn’t deserve that honor.
“Folks are angry about that. Martin should have been president. Hell, even Jesse would have been better. Hell, even SHARPTON would have been better. This punk’s been a disaster and he is one and done”, a Thinker in the human resources field said, referring to her belief that Martin Luther King would have made a great president if history had played out differently and he’d gone into politics at some point in an alternate timeline. ”Someone like Martin” being president is what black people wanted…and frankly I think such a man really does exist and his name is Congressman Allen West and he will in fact be president someday, maybe in 2020 or 2024. And he will be one of the greatest presidents we’ve ever had, completely eclipsing Barack “Bathhouse Barry” Obama.
As breakfast was being cleared away and we were all getting ready to leave the conversation turned toward what black preachers have been saying on Sundays about the election. The Thinkers represented not just what’s going on here in Chicago, but what’s happening with their friends and relatives all across the country. ”One thing you need to always remember is that black people all know each other,” a Thinker reminded me, “we all talk and have family all over so there’s a grapevine and it’s buzzing right now”. It seems in all the states these Thinkers have friends or family black preachers really are — in subtle or obvious ways, depending on the congregation — telling the faithful that Democrats have turned against God and that the Democrat Convention in Charlotte, in particular, was an abomination. For the last few years a realization has been building amongst black people that Democrats push abortion as a means of black population control and the abortion advocates are now being seen as virulent racists since it’s mostly black babies that are killed in the womb.
I was told flat-out that the Thinkers were actually surprised that Republicans have been “too stupid” to see that every time someone comes out screaming about wanting more abortions that the correct response would be to call that woman a racist and tell her that she’s only doing this so more black babies could be killed. ”That would shut those sluts up in a heartbeat if Republicans would do that…just call them racists and they will run for the hills. It will work on the Planned Parenthood crowd. Go and start accusing them of being a racist organization and watch all Hell break loose”. The Think Squad has always been very open about how useful accusing someone of being a racist can be, particularly if you are doing it to anyone on the Left…since the Left FREAKS OUT when its own weapons are used against it.
I’ve seen articles out there talking about how Obama’s decision to embrace gay marriage has really hurt him with black people (which is true, since the joke is he’s only for it now that “Reggie proposed to him!”) but it’s really the abortion celebration that Democrats held in Charlotte that’s angered black women in particular. It’s pretty obvious that Democrats want to keep destroying black families, killing black babies in the womb, and eventually replacing blacks with Spanish-speakers who are uneducated and easier to control than blacks (especially if Democrats can prevent Hispanics from learning English, which is the Democrats’ goal).
“This election, right here, is a breaking point. This is the election where black folk sit down and say “NO MORE!” and we stay home. I ain’t voting. First time in 30 years that I won’t. I am sitting home and everyone in my church is doing the same”, an angry Thinker said as we were all putting on our coats. I had on my Romney/Ryan campaign shirt, by the way, which I wear everywhere in Chicago…and I have yet to have a single black person say anything bad to me for wearing it, certainly not the Thinkers. ”Some black people are even going to vote for Romney, you watch. He’s a smart man and he’s not evil no matter what Obama would say. He fixes things that are broken and things sure are broken now and people who want jobs again are going to pull the other lever this time”.
It’s estimated that Democrats only win national elections when blacks comprise 11% or more of the electorate and simultaneously cast 90% or more of their votes for Democrats.
The Think Squad has told me that through the grapevine they’re hearing anecdotes that make them believe that not only will the share of the black vote be less than 11% this time around (from black people staying home) but that more black people than ever before in recent political history will actually be voting either third party or for the Republican. This means that Democrats will receive less than 90% of the black vote…and it means that states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, New Jersey, Wisconsin, and even Oregon could go to Romney on November 6th.
What the media’s not telling you is that if Democrats have really lost the confidence and loyalty of black people because of their abortion-fest of a Convention and the gay marriage push by Obama (not to mention Obama’s Bathhouse Barry antics that blacks disapprove of) then Democrats have also lost the loyalty of other people who’ve similarly forever been loyal to Democrats too. There are Hispanics, Catholics, blue collar types, Jews, and other formerly rock solid Democrat loyalists who have been turned off from the party during this negative and nasty campaign that celebrated all the things about the Democrat Party that used to be kept locked in the attic or the basement back when Democrats tried pretending they were moderate to people.
The party is clearly controlled by the Left now, as evidenced by that debacle in Charlotte. And it is driving people away from the party. In droves.
There are probably versions of “The Think Squad” in Jewish circles, in Hispanic groups, and in fill-in-the-blank demographic segments. These are people who once blindly voted Democrat but are so disappointed in Obama and so disgusted by what Democrats have put on display this year that many are going to sit home because they just can’t pull the lever for the party that celebrates the killing of babies by their own mothers.
THAT is the big story of 2012 that’s unwritten, folks. The killing of babies in the womb by their own mothers is something Democrats celebrate…but people in groups like The Think Squad are horrified by and will not participate in by proxy at the ballot box.
As we walked down the stairs into the hotel lobby and started to say our goodbyes the Thinkers all told me they expect Obama to lose and for it to not even be close. Then we all talked about the Obamas moving to Hawaii, where everyone has heard they’ll be living in a $35 million estate by the ocean that some rich bankers are buying from them. I listened as the ladies told me all about that, and how disgusted they were that the Obamas were just throwing Chicago away like garbage and trading it all in for the high life in Hawaii. Apparently, the grapevine has told the Thinkers that people all over the country are upset about this post-presidential Hawaiian estate too…and how it makes Obama look like a hypocrite because he claims Mitt Romney is too rich but then look where the Obamas are planning to move to in January.
It’s interesting to know that the Bathhouse Barry and Hawaiian Estate stories I’ve covered here on HB for a while now have eroded so much of Obama’s support in certain circles and have undermined his ability to effectively attack Mitt Romney on much of anything. People see the current president as a punkass cake boy who lies and does the exact things he accuses other people of doing, oblivious to his own hypocrisy.
This is a very effective line of attack on Obama in the last three weeks of this campaign. Based on the reports from the Think Squad, it would be smart to keep pressure like this up and encourage even deeper saturation of the Bathhouse Barry and Hawaiian Estate memes.

Thank you, Kevin.
By the way, a kinder way to say some of what the Thinkers and what you’ve said above was said by President Clinton, linked over at the Weekly Standard.
http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/bill-clinton-romneys-argument-true-were-not-fixed_654893.html
Oh my, it sure sounds like Bill had some verbal diarrhea there, ooops
I think we all know he did this on purpose. He gave Romney a sound bite.
I’m now reading your articles out loud to a crowd! The Think Squad has a huge fan club now, people are like “why aren’t these guys on instead of meet the press, these guys are a hoot”.
The black mommas I’ve know were the mommas of my successful friends and honestly, there was no difference between my momma and them, nothing, nada. There’s a bond among mommas who want their kids to succeeded. There is a no nonsense way about them and they don’t take excuses easily. It’s a mindset, not a color thing.
Anyway, read this and went to see what everyone else is saying today and I thought this quote was appropriate here:
“Notification: Your Race Card Is Overdrawn. Please contact a customer service representative about this problem.

Having just read this article and seeing that over there I broke out in laughter.
Great news, Kevin! Thanks for sharing!
I was listening to Rush today while running errands. He said that a survey released today shows that in Dade County, FL (Miami) and Broward County, FL (just north of Dade) have Romney just 4 points behind Obama, with a 2 pt margin of error. In 2008 Obama won both counties by over 30 points! Now he only leads by 4, and possibly less, with three weeks left in the campaign.
The Think Squad seem to really know their stuff
Kevin, can you post a picture of yourself with your Romney shirt on? I’m dying to see it.
I do enjoy your Thinker’S reports.
Many years ago, during Clinton’s first election I was having a conversation with an old, gray black man with a very beat up truck trying to sell junk at the Marin City fleak market. “I just don’t think the republican’s care about blacks” he said. I told him all the D care about is his vote. I didn’t say, at the end of Clinton’s term he would still be poor and black.
Saying Obummer has done nothing for blacks isn’t true, they got free phones, didn’t they?
I just can’t fathom voting for someone because of the color of their skin. I told one old Jewish woman that I had a lot in common with Obummer, and even though I wouldn’t vote for him I wasn’t racist. “What do you have in common with a black man?” she asked. We both have white mommas.
Vote content of character, my first favorite candidate was Cain, and I would vote Col West in a heartbeat.
and I would vote Col West in a heartbeat.
Would I ever.
Too bad Col West was not a presidential candidate. I too would vote for him in a heartbeat. I also thought that Herman Cain was a very good man for the presidential candidate. I wanted to have the chance to vote for him. Too bad he was eliminated so early.
I had a black roomie in Cincinnati when I lived there for a while. He was a great guy, but always voted Democrat. He admitted Dems did nothing for blacks, but the GOP still has that white party image they are going to need to change. I think it’s happening with Allen West, Mia Love, Rubio. The GOP needs to keep them coming, and I think they should run good black candidates in districts as radical as Bobby Rush. Even if they have little chance of winning, make these guys work for it.
This is why studying history is important
Republicans have been the Civil Rights party while the Democrats have been the party of slavery, KKK and Jim Crow
So TRUE, John!
Col. Frances Rice contributes to a website (nrbra) and they have a History Test listed there. If more people would take it, we’d have many more people educated as to who is and HAS been really supportive of the blacks in this country. (by the way, Col. Frances Rice is a black American woman.)
The democrats don’t want this info known. Example–1st question:
BLACK POLITICAL HISTORY: THE UNTOLD STORY
NOTE: All answers are “b.”
1. What Party was founded as the anti-slavery Party and fought to free blacks from slavery?
[ ] a. Democratic Party
[ ] b. Republican Party
Please share this with your friends and relatives:
http://www.nbra.info/DYK-HistoryTest
I found the NRBRA site during 2004 election. It was so educational. I never understood how Dems took/stole the credit of fighting for Black Americans. What I don’t understand is why the Republican Party doesn’t push this more; I get so frustrated when they miss the opportunities to correct the record.
I think the democrats are clueless about how mad the average person is period!!! It’s not just blacks that are mad. I’ve never heard about people crawling over broken glass and various other heinous things just to vote in any election before this year.
Yep, and if anyone who gets in the way between me and the voting booth is going to get steamrolled, I don’t care WHO they are or what kind of crap they try to pull. All everyone else who feels intimidated needs to see is ONE PERSON stand up to the thugs, such as the NBP jerks, and suddenly the thugs’ power to intimidate will dwindle. The fastest way to neutralize a bully is to stand up to it.
THANKS, Kevin, for a most inspiring column and “ground report.” I appreciate you and your work. Would also like to see your shirt. I am still waiting for mine…..
Very interesting, especially in light of this article:

A new poll has Obama up by only 3 points in Michigan, a state he won by 16 points in 2008. Worse, his support is only 44% right now, meaning 56% are not committed to voting for him. He can’t even pull 50% in a state where he got 57% in 2008. And remember, in 2008 McCain wrote off Michigan almost immediately, which caused a backlash of support for Obama, because even Republicans in Michigan saw McCain’s action as basically saying, “Screw you. I’m not interested in your support.” Sarah Palin disagreed with the McCain campaign’s decision, but it didn’t matter. Once it was announced, it was too late to bring that support back.
I think both campaigns had better get the candidates on a plane to Michigan. This could be HUGE!!!

This doesn’t surprise me a bit. I’ve seen various reports the past few weeks that lead me to believe that the black vote isn’t going to be 90% for “Bathhouse Barry” this year. Da Tech Guy had a post yesterday on a Daily Kos poll that showed only 85% supporting Obama. And I remember a recent North Carolina poll showing 25% of the black community no longer supporting Obama. I would bet that there are a LOT more blacks than reported no longer supporting him – they just don’t want to tell the pollster that. I’m beginning to think this is going to be a landslide for Mitt.
Romney is going to win 47 states. Obama will probably get California, New York, and Washington and that’s it. I am going to watch MSNBC on election night just to see the screaming fits. The important part of this is that the leftist, crypto-marxists will be out of power for a very long time. This will break the back of SIEU and teacher’s unions. Imagine that, quality education in the inner-city.
You are probably correct about WA but there was a poll I saw yesterday that said it was Romney 45 and Obama 50 here in WA.
I would absolutely love it if we did go Romney but King County is very left and they have the largest population in the state. They pretty much negate the rest of the state.
Ditto to your comment, steviecooper! I live in OR and Portland(ia) is very left as well. Those of us in more rural (read conservative)parts of the state feel that we are outnumbered and outvoted so much of the time. Way too many lefties move to OR to get away from a lefty state, and then work toward turning this state into the same lefty world they ran from. How I would love to see us get a conservative Governor as well as have the state vote for Romney.
I am soooo hoping for a Romney win in Washington this year! In Clark county, there are almost no Obama signs this go-round. Also, I did a travel assignment in downtown Seattle in 2010-11, and was surprised at the number on non-liberals that I met. There are a lot more conservatives than we know! They are simply more quiet and more polite
I love these Think Squad updates. Those folks ROCK!!!
I agree with linfell. I am FURIOUS at what Obama has done to the Republic. We must rid ourselves of the statist in the White House. It is our duty!
My husband mentioned that O looks rougher than normal this point in his presidency. I just nodded and smiled. He has the YouTube video someone made comparing O to Bush in throwing out the first pitch at a ball game or riding a bike. He laughs himself to tears when he watches it. This is a big he man, retired Army infantry sergeant major laughing himself silly over O. Anyway, love your friends and am sorry it took O for them to really truly see that the D’s are not their friends.
BTW, my comments always go into moderation too, but I think its funny. I had a blog at one time and understand having to tighten up stuff to keep the trash out. Just dust me off and spray some perfume on me when you take me out of the trash heap
The silver lining in Bathhouse Barry is the # of people who have suddenly realized they are conservatives or leaning that way. If Hillary had won, she would have kept the party centered enough to win but still thrown plenty of bones to the far left.
Great ground report from The Momma’s. I believe also that a lot of people are telling pollsters that they are voting for Teh Won “100% For Sure” just to get them off the phone, so they don’t keep calling.
I do have a confession to make, Kevin. For some of the rabid 0bama fans I know personally, I’m blatantly defying your ban on Eeyore’s. I’m being the biggest Eeyore in the world to them about voting in general in this election. “Yea, things aren’t great, the whole lot of them are corrupt, all politicians in office need to be voted out, but no sense in voting, they won’t count it anyway” I know, especially for people like my parents, there is NO WAY I could every convince them to vote Republican – it’s just not going to happen. The most I can realistically hope for is to either get them to sit out the election entirely, or at least leave the top of the ticket blank.
Me, I’m a Broken-Glass Republican, and no matter what stories Gloria Allred makes up at the last minute, or old memos are suddenly found that make Romney or Ryan look bad (I’m looking at you, Dan Rather). There is nothing short of death that will stop me from voting to save my country.
WannaCruize — death shouldn’t stop you! Register to vote by mail and send in your ballot now……I just did! So if I die before November 6th, at least my vote is counted!
In Chicago your vote could get counted a couple of extra times if you were dead!
I’m glad to hear people are coming around about his deceptions, whether political issues or personal.
It must be very painful when the one you worship is found to be a complete chameleon (apologies to lizards).
I hope it’s just the wear of the job showing, not HIV.
OMG, this is hilarious. Like you were saying above, Kevin, Minitru has no idea how much people are laughing at 0bama and the Democrats these days. As an example, go to Amazon and put the word binders in the search box. Click on any link and go read the recent reviews. They are all complaining that “I bought a binder and had it sent to me overnight, however there were no women in it? I was specifically told that there were binders full of women! How do I get one?”
It’s very refreshing to see conservatives finally putting Alinsky’s rules to good use.
God bless you, Kevin, for your work.
You are a great person.
I’d love to meet some of these Think Squad. These folks sound so cool. Really, what separates conservatives from their progressive counterparts is common sense and wisdom. Progressives have a lot of compassion, but compassion without wisdom leads to disaster, and we’ve seen this over and over. I believe as we move into a world beyond war, our greatest challenge is going to be striking the right balance between wisdom and compassion.
NB: wisdom without compassion isn’t wisdom, and compassion without wisdom isn’t compassion…
Kevin that was a really good story and I appreciate that the truth is finally starting to trickle out. As a 49 yr old mid-western blue-collar ex-Dem, whose parents/grandparents/greatgrandparents were all Dem, this is a profound revelation that I have been witnessing for some time. I have been reading the so-called “tea leaves” since the early 90′s and have been shocked at how the Dem party has been taken over by progressives. To the progressives, Kennedy and Truman would be nothing more than right-wing war mongerers. I’ve had enough and took a lot of crap from my family by declaring myself a Republican. Thanks for this and trust me, your article will be sent to members of my family just to piss them off.
Thank you for that read, Kevin. It’s very good to hear. Still, there are some problems with the thought process that makes statements like:
“Hell, even Jesse would have been better. Hell, even SHARPTON would have been better.”
Ummm…no. I realize there is a palpable frustration and, likely a profound internal sense of embarrassment among the thinking black community, over the disaster known as Obama, but those two would be even worse. Now, Martin I could agree with.
Those like the Think Squad that are waking up, need to wake up fully. It is the Allen Wests, the Thomas Sowells, the Herman Cains. The warriors, the thinkers and the entrepreneurs that will eventually improve the lot of urban minorities. They will do so in the context of America for all.
They need to start cleaning out the cesspool of Chicago politics.
Keep up the good fight, Kevin! Good luck, to us all.
I agree and don’t forget we need more Mia Love’s…
Hey! you guys. I’m glad somenone else thinks like I do.
Fascinating – and reassuring – to hear the “Thinkers’” current perspective on Obama. Must have been a little strange to hear all of their Bathhouse Barry jokes, though. I’ve never gotten how the Left claims to support gays while never letting a gay joke at the expense of a Republican or conservative go to waste.
Question: How do they view black celebrities who are actively promoting Obama’s re-election, such as Beyonce, Jay-Z, Harry Belafonte, Samuel L. Jackson, etc.? I
thank you Kev.
great article..I am going to print it out and read it to our evening dinner group..there are 2 die hard libs in it..they are going to be furious…but it may do some good at least with one of them..the other is a cranky 83 yr. old who thinks he knows everything there is to know about everything.. you know the type..he is a lost cause.but.truth to tell..since 2008 I have been sending him articles in the mail..with no return address…Heh, heh…drives him crazy!!!
Xango –
Please let me know tomorrow what they said after you read them this.

Kevin, I really wish the ladies of the Think Squad and your other black friends weren’t representatives of a tiny minority in the black community, but I fear they are. I am glad to read that some of your old friends are realizing they made a mistake in 2008, and are trying to repair burned bridges. Maybe brighter days are ahead. I hope so.
I read larry Sinclair’s book a long time ago and I believed every word he said; the book rang truth.
It was appalling what Beau Biden put Larry through along with axlerod and the rest of the chicago thugsters or gangbangers as I now refer to them. They spent over $700,000 or more to squash his story.
Hillary knew and very few people were aware until it was too late and he was in the WH.
It is the tawdry way BO treats people, I cannot believe anyone of these men staying loyal to a creep like this. He shows his total narcissism in these flings. He is a USER and what comes around goes around in the end.
Larry is a great guy.
Every word he says is true.
Kevin: I believe that by the end of 2012 into 2013 a lot more people will know who Larry Sinclair is and he will be vindicated. The down low references are all over twitter and FB. I am not a FBer (TMI) but my mom lets me read/only her account so I can get a sense of what people are thinking and it is not good for Mom Jeans.
I would like to see Larry fully and publicly vindicated after all the awful stuff the left has put him through. I admire Larry Sinclair’s courage and strength.
Kevin,
I love you and your site! I check you before I check Drudge 1st thing in the morning and that is saying something. There is nothing better than linking to your articles on Facebook when I am out defending Romeny/Ryan from trolls. When I paste a couple of paragraphs from your site, their heads explode. Keep up the awesome works and please stay safe my brother…
Derrick — I do the same thing! I link a lot of Kevin’s (and Tamminator’s) columns on Facebook!
Rush said today that if you sit home, it’s essentially a vote for O. Encourage your Think Squad members to VOTE, Kevin!
Kevin — here’s an idea — you should launch a weekly TV or radio show as a moderator for “The Think Squad.” They would probably put “The View” out of business. Their honesty and wit and shrewd outlook reminds me of some great people I know. I’m already a fan! Your comments about the Dem convention and abortion are so true. Somehow abortion went from being a remedy for rape, incest, or 13-year-old foolishness, to a feminist ideal. It’s supposed to be safe, legal, and rare. Well it’s never safe for the baby, yes it’s legal, and it certainly isn’t rare (in Mahattan alone more than 40 percent of babies conceived are aborted). By the way, my issue of The Globe was stolen. I had to request a replacement copy.
meh this line of attack doesn’t work unfortunately, I gave it a go with the conservatives at my work and got the “now way” on the slims thing and a look like you are going to far, I said hey JFK was getting shot up with drugs everyday, and of course the response is, with the internet and the media and my response is are you kidding me? do you think you KNOW HALF of what the hell is going on this Country, and then just dropped it. It isn’t going to work here, maybe in the cities but not down in Virginia.
You keep doing what you are doing and the those blacks who will sit home or vote Romney whose lives RISE UP as we all do will feel relief at not being chained to the Democrat Plantation. I wonder if any of them have seen the Runaway Slave documentary, I went to the opening in DC it was sad, shocking, truthful and if shown in the black churches across America I believe many will FINALLY see what has become of them because of the left! Oh they will also see the RACISTS are still on the left.
You mentioned the Think Squad of other voting groups. I came back a few hours ago from a Think Squad of Jewish Former Democrats. We call our group our “Rant Group.”
We’ve already planned our Victory for Romney Party at a kosher restaurant on the Northside.
Masel Tov!
“In one of the debate’s lighter moments, Obama countered, “I don’t look at my pension. It’s not as big as yours so it doesn’t take as long. I don’t check it that often….
…From the standpoint of a public pension, Obama is well-heeled.
As president, he will receive $191,300 annually for life — win or lose in next month’s election — and receives a travel allotment as well as mailing privileges. Should Obama lose, his presidential pension kicks in immediately after leaving office.
Given that the president enjoys a normal life span, the pension allotment would be worth upwards of $6 million.
The federal budget spends about $3 million annually for the four living ex-presidents. Obama also will get Secret Service protection.”

Excellent work, as always, Kevin!
My husband worked with a very open, vocal conservative Black man. They’re in social services in a large urban city. The rest of the office was mainly Black, female, and Left, or Jewish female, Jewish gay and Left with a few odd Hispanics and a virulently anti-Semitic Turkish born Leftist in the mix. But this man– he would just state his case, consequences be damned. Husband could argue with a few people, including his boss (who has a multi-millionaire brother and wasn’t bad off herself with a vacation house worth over a million bucks BO– before Obama). He would point out how well she was doing–and her brother– and she’d just rant on about how they were victims…
Sorry to digress, back to the conservative guy– he told husband once, “You think Black people like you? That we’re not racist? You should hear what they say when there aren’t any White people around.” And husband didn’t know what to say. And he told me he was thinking– so the people I supervise, have worked with for years, have had to my house– really don’t like me? But we saw some of this racism when we were beginning the adoption process- a few of the people he worked with– including the boss– didn’t think we should adopt a Black child– domestically, internationally, etc because “trans-racial adoption doesn’t work”. We ultimately adopted special needs from China. They thought that was just great– as if a White family adopting an Asian kid isn’t a transracial adoption? Go figure.
Saw this on Radar on Line…………..
Is Drudge On To Something? Gloria Allred Refuses To Comment On Mitt Romney ‘October Surprise’ Speculation http://www.radaronline.com/
Do you think Gloria Allred is going to pull on of her fast ones like she did on Meg Whitman in CA. This has me concerned
I wouldn’t be all that concerned. Most people know Gloria Allred to be a publicity whore and a committed leftist. Disparaging a successful conservative woman in California is probably a lot easier to do than using some bimbo to disparage a conservative nationwide. And frankly, unless there was solid evidence that Mitt was a rapist and serial murderer I would still vote for him over what is in office now.
I found last nite that this was false rumor about Allred….folks were Rick Rolled on purpose….
I hope you’re right about a large swath of black people staying home on Election Day, but that doesn’t match my experience with my black friends. They are pretty pumped for Obama still.
I do agree with the Think squad over one thing they’ve mentioned before; that they know how to manipulate white people with the charge of racism. It happened to me all the time as a substitute teacher. When I told black and even sometimes Hispanic students to settle down and do their work, they would tell me I was racist.
One time I told a group of white students to quit talking and do their work, turned to a group of black students and told them the same thing. One of the girls told me I was racist. I guess I’d had it. I wrote her a pass to the principal and told her she needed to report me for my supposed racism and sent her on her way.
After she left I thought, what in the heck did I just do?!? The girl was gone for maybe 10 minutes, when she returned she simply said, “I told them I had nothing to say.” On my last day of subbing for that class she apologized. I learned then how to stop the manipulation. You have to stand up to it.
I heard the Hawaiian mansion will have a huge bath house for Barry in January.
It occurred to me just last night how little we are hearing about blacks and about race in general this time around, and about the significance of this silence in spite of the Leftist media. Might this be because the energy and the support not only has dwindled, but has fallen so flat that the Obama Media is doing all they can to avoid what has long been one of their most central and dividing issues?
Yes, it can.
I hope that there are a lot of Think squads in Florida; Allen West needs the support of those who are seeing through the Lefty Lies. So if you are in FLA, or in CO where Mia Love is running, I hope they can be helped to win. I would like to see OR go conservative too, but I’m not holding my breath.
Kevin… if indeed this is how the Think Squad and African Americans feel, then PLEASE encourage them to vote in this election. A vote not made for Romney may help Obama get re-elected. These folks need to stand up, be loud, and VOTE. They need to join the Republican Party and make a point to the Democratic Party that they will not stand for this kind of nonsense.
“Black folk” should be mad. They should be so mad that their hair is on fire. As should be anyone today who is living in poverty, unemployed. But please ask the Think Squad to realize one thing….Anytime a Conservative or a Republican utters the word “black” they are deemed racist. It’s matters not the context, they are deemed racist by the Dems. And Obama supporters take the call. I don’t really know how to clearly explain this, but the Repubs/Conservs are not allowed to reach out to the black voters. It’s just not allowed. It’s racist.
If the black community wants to STOP this, then they are going to have to be the ones to take the initiative. By changing parties and voting Romney or by remaining Dem and voting Romney. They need to become part of the “statistic” of blacks and/or Dems who say NO MORE, and vote Romney. As long as they remain part of the Dem Party and just refuse to vote, then, in essence, they are allowing everying to continue as it has been.
The black community is and always has been welcome in the conservative arena. But they are going to have to stand up and make their voices heard at the polls if they ever want to see anything change. By not voting, they remain a statistic of “people who did not vote”. And by not voting, they are saying to the Dems that things are OK.
I;m sorry.. I am not explaining this properly. But by not participating, these people are also not changing anything.
Immoral is immoral no matter who we are talking about, or maybe just say right is right and wrong is wrong. I don’t judge politicians for their personal life, I judge them on their accomplishments while in office, some are good, some are not so good. America has a way of doing things rules, regulations and laws, maybe to many at times but they are there for a reason. The constitution is our guide, it and God has lead this country to success for over 200 years.
This is, in accomplishment, the worst president this country has ever had. If it is because he is not capable of doing the job he needs to be fired. WE do that by vote. I hope that these Americans will go to the polling place and cast a vote to show this administration that WE are not buying what they are shoveling. If this is being done by some design to overthrow America this president should be charged with treason and punished accordingly. You folks in the think squad need to encourage all of your friends and family to hit the polling place by the dozens and vote for Romney and Ryan they are for all Americans.
Race is something you do at a track ,on a horses or in a car it isn’t something Americans should use against each other, WE are all in this together. MLK Jr. said people should be judged by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin,(race color or creed) and I totally agree. This presidents character is lacking content, while Mitt Romney’s character overflows with goodness. I believe WE all would rather have a good job over government programs that stifle being productive. Romney and Ryan 2012 and as always GOD BLESS AMERICA
Hi Kevin, Is it possible to post a link to the Globe article you mentioned? Is that a local paper? Or an Enquirer type?

Hi Kevin, What you and the Think Squad put across was refreshingly summed up because it was spoken with honesty and truth. I agree with some of the comments though, that you should all vote, as this will serve to set in motion the wheels of change not only important for black people’s futures, but for America’s as a whole. I am not American but from the outside looking in, although Romney may not be an ideal candidate, he is better than BO, who turned out to be a dismal failure and a shocking disappointment. However, I feel what you and the Thinkers should be aware of the Bigger Picture here.. which is that the whole World is run by the Wall Street banking cabal and all its satellites worldwide and Money is their only god. They don’t care if America and the rest of the World go to hell. This status quo has existed for more than a century and if any US president didn’t play ball, he was simply eliminated like JFK was. This greedy and corrupt cabal owns and controls Wall Str., controls the Fed, the US Military and the People. They are the Secret Movers behind everything that happens on our Globe. They have bankrupted America and their aim is controlling the World. Surely you are all aware that your presidents are simply pawns in their dirty unscrupulous money grabbing hands!? They are the real enemy! As for voting on 6th Nov – Please vote for anyone other than BO, but VOTE and makes sure your vote is not interfered with! This is the only way you can take America back from those bent on destroying her and the American People. We are but brothers and sisters all over the Planet and we all need to WAKE UP and claim back what those riding on our backs have stolen from us for many long years. The Thinkers have to urgently meet everyday now, so that they can assess very clearly how to best use the opportunity they have right now to bring about the TRUE change all Americans of all races long for and must demand as their God-given Right! You have the power – its in your hands – your Constitution gives it to you and don’t allow anyone to mess with it!! Our thoughts and prayers are with America and God bless you all!
This just got reposted at Free Republic, so maybe some more people will show up and comment. If Romney pulls this off, the Republicans need to immediately start getting their strategy together around blacks, because there is so much unexploited territory, and if they can break the stranglehold that Democrats have on the black vote, then they will have broken the Democratic Party period. There are so many issues to seize on: the racist and eugenics behind abortion rights; gay marriage eroding what little is left of the black family; liberating black kids from the teacher’s unions with charters and vouchers; restoring expressions of faith in the public square and public schools; the way Democrats purposely try to get as many blacks as possible dependent on government instead of economically free; sacrificing desperately needed jobs in the black community in order to combat the global warming hoax that nobody in the black community buys into; getting rid of the trade unions’ monopoly on public works jobs. The list could go on and on. The basic message should be that traditional values matter, and a job is a million times better than any government benefit you can imagine. The fields are ready to be tilled, but in my view, the GOP is just rarely even showing up to the fight.
Yeah, this is real. LOL
Fabulous post, just great! I think it will be my last email blast before the election. My Facebook friends will wake up today to see this in their stream too. And I’ve already tweeted it twice so far, and will do so probably 10 more times before the election.
One thing, please FIX your Twitter link at the bottom of this article.
absurd thought / you’re simply a racist / if you disagree with blacks / who simply disagree / with other blacks *
