Black conservative Ron Miller’s gutsy new book Sellout: Musings from Uncle Tom’s Porch couldn’t be more timely as the NAACP and other liberals are charging the Tea Parties with racism and – in the wake of President Obama’s election, no less – Shirley Sherrod’s husband Charles claims that black people can no longer let “the white man steal elections” and they must oust  “Uncle Toms.”

Ron Miller says that now we have millions of good and decent Americans who oppose the Obama Administration being called racists, as if half of all the people who at first approved of his performance donned white robes and hoods overnight. Disagree with the biggest spendthrift in presidential history? Racist. Hold two veteran lawmakers (Reps. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) and Maxine Waters (D-CA)) accountable for abusing the public trust? Racist. We are more divided by race than we’ve been in decades.

Thus, Ron takes on all the players of the race card in his new book, “SELLOUT: Musings from Uncle Tom’s Porch.” This personal, candid and compelling account of one black conservative’s journey leaves no stone unturned and lets no race baiters off the hook. He exposes the real sellouts, the black liberals and their white sponsors who’ve treated the black community like lab rats for 45 years. The experiment must end, people are dying or living without hope while black preachers and politicians line their pockets and keep the lie of racism alive.

As Ron’s editor and contributor, I echo bestselling author Ken Blackwell in saying, “Ron offers a personal, poignant and spiritual account of a journey through the quagmire of race in America, a journey that leads to redemption for all. Challenging and conciliatory, Americans of all races will be stirred by this book.”

Sellout isn’t some dry political narrative. It’s very personal on every count because Ron Miller exposes the failed liberal experiment, he speaks to the dignity of his fellow Americans and he shares his deeply moving memoir.

Chapter 9, “Trials of Many Kinds,” is my favorite because Ron reveals what it meant to be FEMA’s chief information officer during the 9/11 crisis, the consequences of working for then-Director Joe Allbaugh, and the sometimes comical weirdness of Washington. I dare anyone to keep a dry eye while reading about Ron’s run for the Maryland legislature, his son’s love, the agony of defeat and the answer Ron received when he wailed to God asking, “Why?”

At this time in history as so many Americans fear losing everything from their rights to their businesses or jobs and homes, Ron’s faith, courage and intelligence are inspiring.

In Sellout, Ron Miller boldly discusses these topics:
-Are we truly “a nation of cowards” on race?
-How and why he became a conservative Republican
-The damage done by the liberal ‘experiment’  on the black community
-The sellout of the black church to liberal politics over God’s Word
-The chances for reconciliation between blacks and the GOP
-The black community’s defense of scoundrels
-His personal experiences with the civil rights movement and racism
-Interracial dating and marriage
-Seeking God’s will in life and politics
-Should blacks love America?
-Is the Tea Party movement racist?
-Where do we go from here?

Ron Miller is a conservative commentator who writes extensively about identity politics and the repercussions of placing race above values, emphasizing the harmful effects of liberal policies on the black community.

Ron is executive director of Regular Folks United, an organization dedicated to the advancement of liberty and our nation’s founding principles. The nine-year plus veteran of the U.S. Air Force and married father of three writes columns for RegularFolksUnited.com and other publications.

He is an outspoken advocate for free enterprise, low taxes and reasonable regulation, limited and effective government focused on national security, public safety and administering justice, traditional two-parent families and the sanctity of human life.

From 2001 to 2004, Ron Miller served in the federal government as a senior executive with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, then the Department of Homeland Security, and finally with the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Democrats For Life of America made an extremely misleading announcement in the July 3rd issue of the Washington Post. Kristen Day, DFLA’s executive director, said she’s forming a “Whole-Life Heroes” political action committee. I’m the founder and president of HERO’s Whole Life America. So, on one hand, I am flattered that the DFLA thought so much of our organization that they borrowed our name. On the other hand, I am greatly offended that they would use our name to undermine human dignity.

The name of our organization, HERO’s Whole Life America, conveys respect for the human person from the embryo to the elderly. We make a stand for human dignity when it isn’t politically expedient – against the prevailing ideologies of the age – and that takes courage, hence HERO.

It takes courage to consistently fight for human dignity. And, as a matter of fact, members of the HERO’s Whole Life America take our pledge to promote respect for the intrinsic dignity of the human person regardless of ability, age, status, ethnicity or sex. We work with a coalition of people from diverse backgrounds and fight for the principle of whole life human rights – protecting everyone from the embryo to the elderly. We are rewarded every day as we strive to be consistent with our name. Some of our projects this year include drilling wells for the poor in Darfur, Sudan; delivering aid to victims of the earthquake in Haiti; sharing the message of human dignity in American prisons (even on death row); and partnering with 280 pregnancy centers to bring the message of hope and life to pregnant women in crisis.

“I believe the individual mandate violates individual rights,” Cuccinelli said in an interview. “I do not believe the federal government has the legal authority in the [U.S.] Constitution to mandate that individual Americans purchase health insurance.

“A corollary to that is that the [Senate] bill, as it is currently written, requires state governments to set up healthcare exchanges to facilitate individual mandates. I do not believe that under the Constitution the federal government has the authority to dictate or effectively force states into its bureaucracy,” he said.
