Conservative African-American columnist Star Parker, who runs a
Washington, DC-based think tank, says it will be increasingly difficult
to run her organization with the strict free-speech limitations she
expects will come from the Obama administration.
Parker is the founder and president of the Coalition on Urban Renewal and Education,
or CURE. Her organization assesses urban policy and seeks alternatives
to the failed government programs of the liberals, but she is fearful
that Obama will make her job much more difficult.
"They will put up hate crime legislation again, which will basically
shut down churches and pastors from being able to use their pulpit to
warn their folks or inform their folks," she contends. "They will try
to pass a Fairness Doctrine to shut down other communication avenues,
and we know this already."
She even cites Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chávez when analyzing Obama's
future administration. "We saw what Hugo Chávez did when he took over
Venezuela with all of these same kind[s] of promises. The first thing
he did was shut down the press and shut down freedom of expression,"
she adds. "So we'll have a lot of work to do as Christian people -- and
I will have a lot of work, as Christians do, to keep my organization
alive in the midst of this."
Parker made her comments during the recent election coverage on OneNewsNow.com, a website where her columns appear regularly.
