2012 Election and After
Who Will Rescue America From The Growing Racial And Economic Conflicts? History tells us in 1898 Col. Roosevelt and the Rough Riders had charged into a trap on San Juan Hill and desperately needed to be Rescued. They were saved by the 9th and 10th Cavalry and the 24th Infantry Regiments.
A poem (13 stanzas) in tribute to their action was written by George E. Powell.
7). “Charge!” “Charge!” The bugle peals again;
“Tis life or death for Roosevelt’s men!—
Mausers make reply!...
The taunt still fresh prouder race,…
To succor or to die!...
11). …A dream of freedom still!
A groundless creed was swept away,
With brand of “coward”—a time—worn say—
And he blazed the path a better way
Up the side of San Juan Hill!
For black or white, on the scroll of fame,
The blood of the hero dyes the same;
And ever, ever will!
The 9th and 10th Cavalry and 24th and 25th Infantry were famous all Black Fighting Regiments. They were initially formed in 1866 in New Orleans. None but the Largest and Blackest were accepted (2,266 Ex-Slaves were accepted). They were stationed and they fought in the West until the Spanish-American War.
Today this Country is swiftly moving toward Racial and Class Conflicts. Many people are in the dark as to the effect the 2012 Election will have on these Conflicts. The light needs to be turned on for all the people to see what President Barack H. Obama and the liberal left are doing.
It is suggested that the appropriate people to turn the light on and again Rescue their Country are “The Americans of African Descent”.
