The Death Of The Democratic Party

As orchestrated by a Black VietNam vet who called himself the Mighty Holy Warrior. This was 5 years ago on a writer’s site. Bush 2 was running for re-election against John Kerry and this man, the Black equivalent of today’s Rush Limbaugh, was so anti- Black liberals and women that I firmly believed he was really a vicious, White racist and I told him so.

That got his attention and he zeroed in on me but I wanted no part of him, at the time. He adored Bush and his administration and raged on and on about the evils of the Democratic Party, how it ruined the Black culture in America with Roe Wade and how happy he was that the Party was in its death throes. He played the role of the big, macho male.

I discovered he had written a book and mentioned the title – I Googled him and found out he had, indeed, written the book but I got the shock of my life when I saw his photo. I envisioned this huge, man with bulging muscles much like the genie on the label of a popular household cleaner, but there sat a small, Black man whom I calculated to be not much more than 5 feet tall. Yes, he was a Viet Nam Veteran and had attained the rank of Captain.

The War was a vague memory by 2004 and here was a veteran with a little man
complex looking for attention so he invented the role of a raging, blustering neocon. I still chided him but tried to tone him down. He started writing to me on a regular basis. I discovered that, in reality, he was a very lonely, insecure man with serious health problems, perhaps PTSD. Many of his rants seemed to be fueled by booze and possibly other substances as he frequently mentioned patronizing a bar near his apartment and bragging about his conquests over the opposite sex. . .

I left the site to pay full attention to my Native Unity blog but he continued to write me . He knew my age and began to treat me like a long-lost mother. On February 14th, 2005 he sent me a very nice Valentine card. That was the last time I heard from him.

Now, with the actual splintering of the Republican Party, I thought about the Mighty Holy Warrior and wondered how he would handle the situation and the election of the first Black President in America.

I think, if the MHW were alive today, he would be giving Rush Limbaugh a run for his money and making millions.

Don't get all confident and complacent just because we got the independents to swing our way this time...
