Tuesday, I flew up to New York from Florida to appear on a Wednesday 7:15am segment on the Fox News channel’s Fox & Friends. Typically, CNN & Fox send a car to drive me to a studio in Orlando. This was the first time I had to fly to New York to be “live” on the set.

Mary booked my hotel in Queens so I would be close to the airport. Fox would send a car to take me to their studio in the morning and back to my hotel afterward.

Remember that old Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis movie when his wife accompanied him to New York for a job interview and they became horribly lost? I got horribly lost in Queens trying to get to my hotel. I laughed at myself, after all these years, trying to morph into my old streets of Baltimore “don’t-mess-with-me” body language.

It was around 7:30pm and the streets were mobbed with people going in all directions. Seeing me lugging my suitcase and computer bag over my shoulder, one of two urban attired black guys chatting stopped and asked, “Cab?”. Totally frustrated, I said, “Yes”. Insanely, I followed this stranger to a dark parking lot. He had an SUV. He delivered me to my hotel for 10 bucks. I gave him twenty. But, our encounter was divinely inspired. I scheduled him to drive me to the airport the next day after my Fox appearance.

This young black man was smart, a good guy and loaded with potential. We chatted about business, unemployment and other things around the fringes of politics. I never felt lead to tell him, “Obama sucks”.

The young black driver gave me a wonderful compliment. He said he had never driven anyone who talked and made him feel good the way I did. Thus, confirming I was exactly where God wanted me to be, doing what He wanted me to do; encouraging this young man and hopefully assisting in pointing him in the right direction.

When he dropped me off at the airport, I gave him a copy of my CD album, “American Tea Party”. Whenever I go to New York, I will give “my driver” a call.

On Fox & Friends, I was part of a three person panel discussion hosted by Gretchen Carlson, a very nice lady. The program producer emailed me the day before with a list of topics on the agenda for discussion; none of which were the continuing charges that the Tea Party is racist.

With the NAACP, CBC and black actor Morgan Freeman calling the Tea Party racist, I felt God’s number one purpose for having me on national TV was to be a “black voice” defending the great people of our divinely inspired Tea Party movement.

During the break before our final segment, I asked Gretchen if she would give me an opportunity to address the racism charges against the Tea Party. Remarkably and graciously, Gretchen said, “yes”. It was a “God Thing”, thanks to all of your prayers.

Here is the link to view the segment.

I realize we are facing challenging times ahead. Obama will probably raise a billion dollars for his re-election campaign. Still, I believe we, the Tea Party, will overthrow his evil regime come November 2012. How? “If God be for us, who can be against us”.

The Joe McGinniss Sarah Palin book, “The Rogue” is the left’s latest hate letter to God fearing patriotic Americans. Make no mistake about it folks. The McGinniss attack along with the other numerous attacks on Sarah Palin are really about attacking you; mainstream Americans with traditional values.

Since her extraordinary upbeat VP nominee acceptance speech in 2008, I have wondered. What did Palin specifically say to prompt such immediate visceral hatred from the left? I have come to realize the answer is her celebration of God, family and country.

How dare Palin praise traditional marriage, motherhood, Christianity and American exceptional-ism; all of which are an anathema to the left. Thus, the left’s hatred of Palin is really hatred of mainstream America; particularly tea party patriots.

That is it in a nut shell and explains why the left so desperately seeks to destroy Palin. They hate America and all who love our extraordinary country.

The left is indoctrinating our kids into believing America is the greatest source of evil in the world; all other religions are superior to Christianity and homosexuality is superior to heterosexuality. During the “Gay Pride Day Celebration” at a middle school, kids were taught to give things a try before deciding whether they like it or not.

Apparently, Obama agrees.

Palin in the White House would be a major fly-in-the-ointment toward furthering the left’s secular/progressive agenda.

In typical left wing fashion, McGinniss attacks Palin for her Christian faith and then accuses her of not being Christian enough. Thus, trying to portray Palin to be a hypocrite. It is pretty obnoxious when godless liberal progressive zealots accuse godly people of falling short of Christ’s standards. This tactic is satanic and evil.

Even some liberals say the McGinniss Sarah Palin book scrapes the bottom of the barrel of indecency by showcasing undocumented allegations from weak anonymous sources. The McGinniss book is simply another sleazy hit piece to destroy this extraordinary Christian woman who is to the left’s horror, admired and loved by millions.

Like every other attempt to destroy Palin, the McGinniss vile piece of trash will fail. Yes, if you believe the liberal mainstream media, it would appear the left has won the PR battle convincing folks on both sides of the political aisle that Palin is unelectable.

The Bible speaks of evil appearing to be all powerful spreading itself like a huge oak tree only to crumble and disappear in an instant. Palin is a Christian. God’s Word promises, “No weapon formed against us shall prosper”.

Now let me see, whom do I choose to believe, a despicable ungodly evil liberal mainstream media or God?

As I have stated on numerous occasions, the political battle in America today goes beyond Republican vs Democrat. It is a spiritual battle of good vs evil; right vs wrong.

The left is repulsed by all things decent, godly and patriotic. Palin, like all of us, is far from perfect. However, she still symbolizes goodness and embodies wholesome traditional American principles and values. Thus, the light which emanates from this American icon is as repulsive to the left as showing Dracula the cross.

Mr McGinniss you and your fellow progressive Obama minions are pitiful. The Bible, the very book which your side despises commands that we Christians love and pray for our enemies. Therefore, in obedience, you are in my prayers.

Meanwhile, if Palin throws her hat into the presidential ring, I boldly predict she will win defeating your socialist/progressive, “Mister-I-Vow-To-Fundamentally-Transform-America”, Barack Hussein Obama in a landslide.

Dear Patriots. I just completed a 17 day national bus tour across America on Tea Party Express V; two rallies per day. We began in Napa, CA and ended with a CNN Republican Presidential Candidates Debate in Tampa, FL.

Our crew included comedian/actors Jim Labriola from the sitcom “Home Improvement” and Victoria Jackson from “Saturday Night Live”. Gold Star mom Debbie Lee shared the story of her decorated son Marc Alan Lee, the first Navy Seal killed in Iraq.

Mr. Constitution, Mike Holler is author of the book “The Constitution Made Easy”. Singer Diana Nagy sang her original song, “Where Freedom Flies” during our military tribute. Talk show host, Radio Patriot, Andrea Shea King spoke and blogged on the tour. Eric Odom is one of the original founders of the Tea Party movement.

Judson Phillips is a powerful speaker, a major force in the movement and founder of Tea Party Nation. David Saucedo is a youth pastor and conservative rapper professionally known as Polatik. David is a brilliant young man of character who I predict will play a major role in turning around the youth of America.

These are just a few of the extraordinary people I traveled and enjoyed fellowshipping with on Tea Party Express V. Various presidential candidates spoke at our rallies; Michele Bachmann, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, Herman Cain and others.

But for me, the true stars of this tour and my five previous tours are the American people; committed tea party patriot foot soldiers who are doing the work and attending our rallies.

While I give 100% effort to entertain and inspire at each rally on every tour, Tea Party Express V was unique. I felt divinely inspired to “minister” to the patriots with my words, music and presentation; encouraging them to stay diligent in their efforts and to remain hopeful. I opened each rally energetically singing my original, “American Tea Party Anthem”. I closed every rally singing, “God Bless the USA”.

Extraordinarily and without planning to do so, I sang, “God Bless the USA” warm, tender and extremely heartfelt. The song became a prayer as many patriots wept at every rally. Praise God.

Also unique to this tour, I spontaneously asked patriots to pray for our country. Interestingly, my call for prayer is historically American. In 1774 when Britain’s King George III ordered the port of Boston closed to punish Massachusetts “Rebels”, Richard Henry Lee helped to persuade the Virginia House of Burgesses to call for a day of “prayer” and “fasting”.

Tour highlights include the prayer I had in the back of the Tea Party Express Bus with three black conservative leaders in Michigan.

I was moved by the number of patriots who tearfully thanked me for my articles; serving as their voice.

At our Tea Party Express rally in Providence, RI, a former Marine and his adult son thanked me for my articles. The father/son duo stood in the rain and wept along with others as I sang “God Bless the USA”. The three of us embraced as brothers in our love for the greatest nation on the planet. A warmth filled the air as I sang. During a musical interlude in the song, I commented to the audience, “Does this feel like hate to you?”

The moving moment illustrated the despicable evil and ridiculousness of Obama’s minions saying tea partiers want to see black Americans “hung from a tree”.

Many patriots across America emotionally told me of their frustration with the liberal media’s erroneous portrayal of the Tea Party and their burden to share the good-news of conservatism with black America.

While black attendance at the rallies is growing, the majority of the audiences are still white. The liberal media attempts to use this fact to prove the Tea Party is racist. I believe it proves the majority of black voters are racist, not the Tea Party. Every black I have spoken with at Tea Parties said they were in attendance because they took an honest look at Obama, the man and his policies rather than worshiping Obama’s skin

color. This is the behavior of honorable people; true patriots.

But, my most memorable encounter of Tea Party Express V tour is the elderly white woman using a walker who slowly and methodically made her way to me. With tears in her eyes, she said, “Mr. Marcus, I teach black children. What can I do to educate them to the truths in your articles?” Wow!

Brother and sister patriots, our extraordinary Tea Party movement is without a doubt divinely inspired. I say to you what I have said to patriots at approximately 30 rallies across America over the past two weeks; keep doing what you are doing, stay hopeful, trust God and pray for our country. We are growing and winning. We will defeat Barack Hussein Obama and the evil emanating from his administration come November 2012.

Patriots, give yourselves a round of applause. You were the true stars and winners of the CNN/Tea Party Express Republican Presidential Debate Monday night. Opinions vary as to which presidential candidate won. We The People were the biggest winners because for the first time millions who do not watch Foxnews, do not listen to conservative talk radio and do not read conservative blogs got to see who we really are; not a bunch of redneck racists.

As Mary and I sat in the audience, I felt extremely proud of my Tea Party family. You showed the world you are articulate and well-informed regarding the issues. Regardless of the candidate, in response to their answers, you cheered and booed at the correct times. The contrast between tea party patriots and clueless Obama voters is quite glaring.

Brother and sister patriots, we have come a long way in two and a half years. I realized at the debate the days of simply attending “ra-ra” rallies are over. You guys have morphed into a massive army of well-educated well-prepared foot soldiers; boots on the ground doing the work to take back America. Just as Jesus instructed His disciples to fail not to assemble themselves together, tea party rallies are now for inspiration, ministering to each other and fellowship.

Each of you please continue using your gifts and talents and following your passion for our common goal. And still, our extraordinary Tea Party movement does not have a single Commander-in-Chief.

On second thought, I take that back. I believe we DO have a Commander-in-Chief. God!

I was amazed by the number of you who told me about your new conservative radio show, new books, new outreach to minorities, new art project to spread the conservative message, new prayer group for America and etc. You guys blew me away. You are awesome! We are winning! God bless.

Obama’s jobs speech was reminiscent of a cliché scene in cowboy movies. A loud mouth guy stands on the steps of the jail-house and enrages the crowd to overrule the sheriff, drag out the prisoner and hang him without a trial.

Obama used his bully pulpit to say, in essence, if those Republican S.O. Bs do not pass my jobs bill immediately without review, they should be politically lynched. Unquestionably, Obama’s speech had a bully edge to it. Pass my jobs bill NOW!

Obama lied about all of the freebies in his jobs bill being “paid for” just as he did to pass Obamacare.

In his typical manipulative deceptive fashion, Obama said several “right things” such as government getting out of the way of small business while his administration does the complete opposite.

The center piece of Obama’s speech was his despicable signature exploitation of class envy and demoni-zation of the rich. Obama in his speech reduced the American Dream to being a union worker with good wages and benefits. Obviously, Obama considered entrepreneurs with higher aspirations to be part of the problem. How dare they seek to have more than anyone else? To each according to his needs. Scary. Very scary and evil.

As expected, Obama’s job speech was written using the left’s same old play book. We Tea Party patriots knew what Obama was going to say in his “jobs speech” before he delivered it.

OK class, what will be Obama’s minions next move to force Republicans to pass his jobs bill NOW? I hear you yelling the correct answer. You guys are toooo cool, tooo smart and right on target! I give you all an A+. Obama’s minions will proclaim everyone questioning Obama’s job bill to be racist.

Folks, this president is divisive and evil. We must vote him out in 2012. God bless.

I awoke and became annoyed when I discovered Mary forgot to pay the water bill. That was the extent of my problems September 11, 2001. Meanwhile, many of my fellow Americans in the twin towers were faced with the unimaginable horror of deciding whether to leap to their deaths or be consumed by fire. Dear Lord.

Ten years after 9/11 Mayor Bloomberg banned prayer from the New York 9/11 Memorial Ceremony. And yet, Bloomberg supports the building of a mosque at Ground Zero.

The left supports Sharia Law while President Obama canceled the traditional National Day of Prayer at the White House for fear of offending Muslims.

Remarkably, thanks to the grace of God and the efforts of George W. Bush, America has not suffered another terrorist attack. And yet, the Obama administration is still seeking to prosecute CIA heroes who helped to protect us.

Terrorists caught on the battle field detained at Guantanamo Bay are treated with kid gloves; special concessions made out of respect for their religion, Islam, which includes meal choices from five menus, served at a specific temperature or thrown out and prepared again.

Muslim detainees are given prayer beads, a prayer mat and a Quran which can not be touched by non-Muslims because we are considered infidels. Thus, a Muslim interpretor gives the detainees their sacred items. At Guantanamo, arrows painted on the floor pointing east informs detainees in which direction to pray.

Meanwhile, three U.S. Navy Seals are facing court marital for allegedly giving a terrorist a fat lip.

Clearly, ten years after the horrific 9/11 attacks, America has two enemies seeking her destruction; Al-Qaeda and the American left who reside mostly in the Democratic Party lead by Barack Husein Obama. To save America, BOTH must be defeated.

The Bible documents on numerous occasions how God raised up a remnant. The modern equivalent of God raising up a remnant is the Tea Party movement; no leader, no figure head and no single governing organization. The Tea Party is simple We The People; individuals following their gifts and passions to turn our country around back to the principles and values which have made her GREAT!

The left is in panic mode to counter the Tea Party. Because their philosophy is so flawed, they can not win on it’s merit. Thus, the left must resort to lies and ginning up class envy and racial hatred. Totally despicable.

I will spend 9/11 on Tea Party Express V national bus tour at our rally in Deltona, FL.

With forces on both sides of the political aisle fighting to maintain the status quo; crony-ism, bigger government and even increasing out of control spending, the tea party is the last hope for America; God’s remnant to save America and restore her to her former glory.

The highlight of every Tea Party Express tour is the extraordinary American patriots I meet. Felix is from Russia and became a proud American 16 years ago.

I shared with Felix that for years I performed my original song, “Celebrate America”, at U.S. Immigration Citizenship Ceremonies. I was struck by the number of seniors tearfully taking the oath of citizenship; some so old they were in wheelchairs and some needing support by family members to stand. Why was it important for these seniors to become official U.S. citizens despite their ages?

Felix, formerly a Russian, replied, “When you have lived under tyranny you understand the precious gift of freedom. Freedom is so wonderful you are always fearful of it being taken away. This is why it means so much to become an American. No one can take away your freedom”.

Tea Party Express rolled into Rochester, NY at 1am. C-SPAN was rebroadcasting Sarah Palin’s speech at a tea party rally. The crowd was huge. Palin’s speech was interrupted numerous times by the crowd chanting, “Run Sarah run! Run Sarah run!”

With no holds barred, Palin boldly attacked Obama’s horrific record and agenda, the hypocrisy of the “lame-stream-media” and she apologetically proclaimed America to be a nation under God. For someone whom everyone says could never win, the common sense all American appeal of her message and patriot’s response to it is extraordinary.

Palin is making the media and people on both sides of the aisle crazy and furious at her; will she or will she not run? And yet, everyone is on the edge of their seats in anticipation. The woman is a marketing genius.

In Milford, MI, I had the pleasure of fellowshipping, discussing strategics and praying with three fellow black tea party activists. Please check out www.theronedwards.com and www.joshuastrail.org. I shared my passion to take the tea party message to the black community; colleges and etc.

Some blacks are so infected with years of liberal entitlement indoctrination and their own racism, they will never accept the truth. We can only keep them in our prayers. But, there will be blacks who once they hear it articulated that conservatism is best for all people, they will see the light.

I pray for assistance in planning and funding a tea party tour to black America.

Rep. Andre Carson, Congressional Black Caucus chief vote counter said some in Congress would “love to see us as second-class citizens” and “some of them in Congress right now of this tea party movement would love to see you and me … hanging on a tree.”

Despite members of the CBC attempting to rally the black and white guilt votes via despicable false charges of racism against the tea party which includes a ridiculous claim that the tea party wishes to see blacks lynched, the tea party continues to grow.

We are winning!

As a black tea party activist overwhelmingly embraced by my fellow patriots across America who are white, I boldly proclaim the CBC to be a vile bunch of race baiting thugs who have sold their souls and the well being of black America for a seat at their progressive Massa’s table of liberalism.

I am on my fifth Tea Party Express national bus tour. Every tour feels like a family reunion teeming with hugs from old and new patriots.

This is why I am so angered by the CBC’s sleazy evil efforts to disparage the decent hard working good people who are active in the tea party.

The liberal media are culpable in their support of assisting the CBC to drive a stake into the heart of the relationship between black and white Americans.

When one of us kids supported wrongdoing, my dad use to say, “You may not have participated, but you held the Devil’s coat”. The liberal media is without a doubt holding the CBC’s coat; offering very little criticism of a CBC member’s over-the-top inflammatory claim that the tea party wants blacks lynched.

And, the liberal media has the audacity to wonder why mobs of black youths are attacking whites around the country. In their reporting about the “flash mobs”, the liberal media refuses to mention the elephant-in-the-living room racial component; that the mobs are blacks attacking whites.

The liberal media dignifies the CBC’s unfounded allegations of racism by constantly pressuring the tea party to prove them untrue. The burden is not on the tea party to prove we are not guilty. We must not and will not allow racist divisive evil scoundrels to call the shots.

Jim Labriola from the “Home Improvement” TV sitcom has been a wonderful addition to our Tea Party Express V national bus tour team. Jimmy’s comedic family friendly monologues are a hit with the patriots at our rallies.

With most of Hollywood being hardcore liberals, conservative actor/comedian Jim Labriola is a breath of fresh air.

One of our two tour buses was under repair causing the twelve member administrative crew to pile on the entertainers bus for the two mile ride to the hotel. It was uncomfortable.

Jimmy spontaneously went into a hilarious monologue worthy of a Jim Labriola TV Special. My stomach contracted so much from laughter, I had a great ab workout. As corny as this might sound, we truly are a family on Tea Party Express. Jimmy masterfully used his gift of humor to bring us a little bit closer together.

Hey Jimmy, you should market an exercise video, “The Jim Labriola Ab Workout: Laugh Your Way to Great Abs”.

We just completed our Tea Party Express rally in Sioux City, IA. This morning I logged on my computer to read, “Obama: The Unemployed Are Being Discriminated Against”.

Obama and company never changes their play book to get-their-way. They always divide Americans into victimized groups saying they are either disenfranchised or discriminated against.

Last night, we arrived early enough in Omaha, NE for me to do laundry. The hotel washing machine was not working. The front desk sent a black tech to fix it. After solving the problem, he asked, “So, are you the driver of that bus?”

I explained my role on the Tea Party Express team. Obviously hostile, the big young black man subtly confronted me, “What are you people doing?” Clearly, he was a victim of the liberal media spin which says we are racist against a black president.

I shared with him what the tea party movement is REALLY about. The young black man was clueless about politics.

Listening intensely, he was like a sponge. Amazingly, he said, “I am beginning to see things differently”. Praise God!

God is tooooo cool. A broken washing machine lead to opening a young man’s eyes.

Patriots, I pray that someone will sponsor and help organize a tea party tour to black colleges and communities. Misinformed blacks need to see and hear black conservatives such as Herman Cain, myself and others.
