The Conservative Sage

One would expect that a young man just convicted of multiple charges hanging from the ceiling of his jail cell would be perhaps a high school drop out, a drug dealer or some other misfit that had fallen through Societies cracks. You would not expect him to be a graduate of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and who was president of his own Investment fund. Kirk Wright obtained his masters from Harvard and immediately went to work for a corporate consulting firm as a Vice President. He then founded Investment firm International Management Associates, a fledgling hedge fund, in the basement of a home he shared with his wife Kassandra. Hedge funds are lightly regulated investment funds that cater to wealthy investors. With his Harvard credentials and connections within Atlanta social circles he managed to procure hundreds of investors including doctors and retired NFL players. Mr. Wright's firm eventually grew to assets of over $180,000,000! The only problem was Wright had abs...

Ever since Barack Obama emerged as the front runner for the Democratic nomination for President, the question that has been asked repeatedly? Is Black America ready for a black president? The answer in my opinion is a resounding no!  Blacks have achieved virtually everything possible in America and have reached just about every political aspiration except for president.

For many years Black conservatives have been subjected to being called sellout, uncle Tom and the like whenever our opinions stray from the liberal lockstep. During this very heated Democratic primary typically, loved Lefties like Tavis Smily and the former honorary Black Royals the Clintons have been thrown under the proverbial bus bec...

It was deja vu all over again this year with the democrats annual pander fest. Usually at the height of the driving season when gas prices are squeezing the life out of our wallets, congress in order to justify their paychecks parade oil executives in front of the television cameras and grill them on how much they're paid. Don't you just love that? millionaires chastising other millionaires on how rich they are. The most amusing example was a statement by one of the richest women in the senate Barbara Boxer. Senator Boxer, Democrat of California, said, "Working people struggle with high gas prices, and your sacrifice, gentlemen, appears to be nothing." She noted that the executives were making millions of dollars in salaries, bonuses and stock awards. What I find to be most Orwellian is the fact that Senator Boxer pu...
