Make this guy head of the Republican Party
I never heard of him before. But I’m impressed with his message and the clarity with which he articulates it:
The New Neo
A blog about political change, among other things
I never heard of him before. But I’m impressed with his message and the clarity with which he articulates it:
An eloquent and impressive man who has figured it all out. When will his “brothers and sisters” figure it out? Sadly for them, they still don’t realize that they are slaves (to the government). In a few brief statements he addressed the most critical issues central to our hopes for America (that are fading fast).
Yes sir.
This guy needs to have a more prominent role on Team R.
First we get Ben Carson, now Guillory. Is it possible that there are cracks in the formerly solid wall?
OMG. That was just awesome.
Guillory is succinct and touches all the basics. The fact that he is a former democrat makes his message more powerful.
parker:
Former Democrats are the best :-).
neo:
Converts are often more effective at communicating the message, as you so often demonstrate.
Similar to the statement that sinners often make the most effective saints. Former democrats do make the most effective speakers against their policies. Other examples are Ronald Reagan
and neo-neocon.
Sending this one far and wide.
Nice. His simple message is the difference between wisdom and intelligence.
I am a 68 Y/O WASP. I was one of those “moderate liberals” that MLK despaired of in the Letter From the Birmingham Jail. I was a liberal Democrat, but though I was blind but now I see. Some 200 of my ancestors fought and bled and some died in the Civil War to end slavery and put this Union back together. It is my turn to stand up and I would be proud to stand with Senator Guillory; he would be welcome at our table any time! I believe that it will take another Frederick Douglas or a Martin Luther King to free us all from the tyranny of the left and to save this Republic. (By the way FWIW, one version of Amazing Grace is simply called “Jewett”)
And then, there’s this guy in VA…..

That was just awesome.
No mealy-mouth nonsense, just brutal truth. We need – NEED – people like Guillory (who seems like a slightly more relatable Allan West – who I love, don’t get me wrong) as the standard-bearers of our message.
People who are unafraid to stand up for their principles and the history that embodies it (example: when he reframes the word “freedom”). Fighters, not wafflers. People who are courageous and smart – they know how to win arguments and are not so ashamed of themselves that they refuse to do it.
But… Republicans. Stupid Party. Let’s hope Guillory knows that about the GOP as well, and is prepared to fight the stupidity in his own party to get his message out there.
Since when did Rush Limbaugh start appearing in videos wearing glasses?
love your stuff, Katie!
Former Democrats definitely are the best.
Posted this myself 30 minutes ago.
THIS needs to be the message of the Republican party. Guillory understands freedom, responsibility, free choice, and living one’s life as one sees fit.
We need people with this message, front and center!
He has the Democrats figured out.
Wow. This is the man who should have been America’s first black President.
“So my brothers and sisters of the AMERICAN community, please join with me in abandoning the government plantation and the party of disappointment.” Se. Elbert Guillory
“Truth is simple / But seldom ever seen” Lyric from the song “Simple Man, Simple Dream” by Linda Rondstadt
Askeptic: THAT had me in tears! God Almighty, that man Jackson is on fire!!! If that doesn’t make you want to run out and overthrow something, you don’t have a pulse!
Spreading the word….

And Guillory was great, too: the reasonable, soft-spoken approach that would be “listenable” for the low-information voters and deluded Democrats.
We need both: fire and ice.
The most eloquent apostate the I ever encountered was the ex-Communist Whitaker Chambers as evidenced by his autobiographical “Witness”.
Tears.
Thank you.
Only one problem with making this articulate gentleman the head of the RNC: the GOP doesn’t believe his message any more than do the Democrats. One glance at the Gang of Eight immigration disaster will affirm that.
The GOP is the Party of Stupid and does not abide by the principles so clearly and nobly expressed in words of Senator Guillory.
It will be a third party that saves the USA…if it can still be saved.
“It will be a third party that saves the USA…if it can still be saved.” PD Quig
Fine, Just one thing…where is this third party going to get the massive amounts of money needed to win the nationwide elections to effect change? That takes big money and Republican big donors don’t care about small government, Constitutional principles or conservative societal values. They care about maintaining the financial status quo and when possible, enhancing the regulated capitalism that has created their financial assets, political influence and economic power.
Therein lies the conundrum we face.
How fitting that you posted this on Juneteenth! The nineteenth of June, 1865 was the date that Emancipation was finally proclaimed in Texas, a holiday still celebrated here.
Oops! It was yesterday, which I suppose is Juneteenth Eve.
The GOP is… perhaps not entirely, but substantially subverted by Leftist power politics. Or blackmail, whatever you call it.
Thus the GOP leadership will do to him, what they did to Sarah Palin
The slaves cannot be allowed to escape the plantation… no matter where they are in the Union.
A third party would be converted, subverted, and destroyed by the LEft faster than a Republican can blink.
The reason that African-Americans are not doing better as a whole is that they live in a deeply racist country where negative stereotypes are inescapable, and have very real consequences in the lives of individuals, regardless of their political party affiliations–and more-or-less regardless of which political party controls Washington at any given time. Indeed, this thoughtful and presumably well-meaning black man has absorbed and perpetuated such stereotypes himself: his message seems to be founded on an assumption that the majority of African-Americans are either on welfare or in jail. I don’t think he’s doing his American brothers and sisters any big favors with this message.
