Commentary by Oliver Parks

   Hello America.
   I am back to talk about how the Republican party is slowly dying on the vine.
   First of all. The leader of the Republican party said only stupid people voted for President Obama. I will shed light on the Republican’s strategy to get blacks to their party and let you decide what is stupid.
   The Republican party believes all they have to do is put Senator Rubio and Congressman Cruze out front, keep the same message, and Latinos will flock to the party. That might be considered stupidity.
   They also believe they can take Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain and Congressman Cain and put them out front, keep the same message and blacks will flock to the party. That may possibly be considered stupidity.
   They feel they can take Michelle Bachman, Gov. Jan Brewer, Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham, put them out front, keep the same message and women will flock to the party. Sounds a bit stupid.
   The other day, I heard someone on the news say that President Obama was teaching blacks to hate white people. I highly doubt that since there has been friction between some blacks and whites before President Obama was born.
   Theodore G. Bilbo, George Wallace, Bull Connor, Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms, Fox News and the KKK had something to do with the friction that currently exists among blacks and whites.
   I have watched people like Senator Lugar, Charlie Crist, Senator Snow, General Powell, and J.C. Watt still being driven from the party. A lot of educated whites, blacks, Latinos, Asians, Arabs, Jews, gays, American Indians, all are being replaced with radical and extreme racists from the Tea Party, and that is why the party is going to wither on the vine.
   With 20 years served in the U.S. Army, I look back and can remember the respect that I was given as a NCO (Non-commissioned officer), and the comaraderie shared with all my fellow soldiers, both black and white. It is so hard to believe this is the same country that I would have died for.
   When I watch Gen. Colin Powell, who has 30 years of service to this country and rose to the highest rank in the military, be demonized by John Sununu and Bill O’Reilly, it literally makes me sick to my stomach.
   These are just some of the reasons why I feel the Republican party will die and could potentially lead to the crumbling of the country.
   As I have said time and time again, together we stand, divided we fall.
