About Me
www.coreybuckner.com

Because I was once part of the Conservative, Republican propaganda machine it is difficult for me to discuss some of my past accomplishments. As I travel through my rebirth I sometimes feel like a man who had become a general in the Nazi army but is now living in the Occident post WWII. Sure I accomplished a lot; but am now so far removed from the persons with whom I was enjoined, that the only importance my past holds is that I excelled. I have considered how to discuss my accomplishments without disclosing my past, and have reconciled that the past is just that. I am sure that people will be able to discern where I am today. If I forgo dropping an important name, please know that it was intentional. If in future discussions I am vague about certain associations it is because those associations are now only slightly indicative of my present personality.

No, I am not now a Liberal Democrat. Too often people jump out of one extreme social movement and right into another; most often its opposition. This kind of movement from one extreme to the other was cause for the recruitment of the original Communists. Many were well-meaning people who became disgruntled with the injustices of Capitalistic systems. They sought to root out poverty and financial imbalance by swinging to the opposite side of the social spectrum. This kind of extreme movement has never fared well for humanity, and so I avoid it at all cost.

I choose to now live outside of the manipulative, close-minded, two-party political system we have in America. In a country where the states are supposed to be represented individually by candidates who’s political Parties have national agendas, it is evident the elected officials work for their Parties and not for their people. Therefore, I have opted out of that system, and speak solely from my heart, education, and life’s experiences.

I speak the truth without concern for political spin, and I cut through the political posturing and speak about cultural issues without having to concern myself with how my words will affect the Republican Party (or the Democrats for that matter). I do not need propaganda or political spin because I have no Party and no constituency to please; I only have to please my Father in Heaven; and that is what I intend to do.

As for my experience, I am a former Political activist, and former staff member for the Cook County Republican Party where I worked directly with the Executive Director. I am a former national Columnist for one of Dr. Alan Keyes’ grass roots organizations (that I will not name at this time), and former Republican Party strategist. I served honorably as the Chicago-area media specialist for Republicans for Black Empowerment; and have worked on various political campaigns providing press releases, web development, graphic design, and strategic support. I am also a former strategist with the Cook County Republican Party African American Council.

As a writer I have had columns published in several Chicago-area newspapers, and have on occasion had my community outreach efforts covered by Chicago media. I have also written for and distributed several social service agency newsletters throughout the Chicago-area. My political columns were widely redistributed by Conservative political organizations, quoted in a plethora of speeches, and read before a California legislature as part of a push for a change in legislation. My column Are Republicans Racist (written in 2005) has been used by Republican organizations from New Jersey to California, and many places in between for various reasons. As I mentioned earlier, I am no longer a registered republican, but understand that these accomplishments are worth making note of.

I have served as a liaison for BBC News’ Chicago office, and assisted them in setting up their pre election coverage in August and November of 2006. Through Cornerstone Christian Center in Illinois I am an internationally recognized columnist serving as the lead writer and senior editor of All to God World Magazine. I currently teach basic and advanced computing skills as well as web design and graphic design at Cornerstone Christian School, and lead the video department at Cornerstone Christian Center. I also serve as Cornerstone’s lead graphic designer, webmaster; and as a graphics contributor to their Life-Line television show.

I am a former Pastor, having served as Assistant Pastor of First Assembly of God church in Chicago Heights, IL; where I also served a three-month stint as interim Senior Pastor. I have also worked with youth in various capacities serving in several leadership roles with Cornerstone Christian Center’s youth department; including a season in which my wife and I led the Junior High department.

I am a husband, and father of three. I have a son, and a daughter; and my wife and I are expecting our third child in a few months. I am completely dedicated to my family, and place family life above all else; career, ministry, and community included. Only when a man’s home is stable can he be of responsible service to his community and church.

Presently, I am involved in all aspects of media in one way or another (print, web, television, and radio), but find the most pleasure in writing cultural columns, cultural critiques, and ministry articles. Writing is my first passion, which is why I am so eager to share my insight with any forum that will have me. I look forward to the time that we will spend together at www.coreybuckner.com and www.culturaltheology; and pray that that time will be mutually beneficial and enjoyable.

God bless you,

Corey Buckner
