Many young Obama voters are getting a taste of the real world.

I can't help but think that many of the *idealist* (dopey) young people who voted for Obama must be getting the shock of their young lives. Many college students who voted for Obama were only children when 9/11 happened, it may not have been real to them but THIS is their 9/11, they will not forget it.

The massive coverage that the Boston Marathon bombing has had has penetrated their little air-head experience of tweeting, social media and celebrities. Maybe they will be more grown up and sober people next time they vote.

Many exceptions being those who have become Christian at the witness of missionaries. Christianity is a sane belief system and the Holy Spirit cuts through a thicket of bondage spirits.

There are a few wise black people who say phooey to that stuff, our own Windflier among them.

Far too many, however, aren't like Windflier.

And it's a damn shame...

Preference of racial affinity over godly moral norms is something that is a problem with multiple races. However spiritual factors can either mitigate or aggravate.

to their credit

younger voters

And to follow on to my own thought... would it be altogether nonsensical (if one believes in classic Christian angelology and demonology) if evil spirits from Africa drifted to these shores too and had in mind the spoliation of the black race. Because none of this stuff is conducive to either the honor or the well being of people of the black race.

Young blacks are crippled by black culture.

So-called 'black culture' is deeper and wider than the ugliness in media reports, and the antics of Sharpton, Jackson, et all, might lead you to believe.

Having grown up in that culture, I can tell you that it's true that most blacks have been systematically herded into a degraded and hateful mindset, but none of that originated within the culture itself. Most of the ill behavior you see coming out of the black community (and that includes the racists in the White House) has been insidiously indoctrinated into those people by the far left.

That said, there yet remains a pro-survival side of that culture that you won't see unless you're immersed in it. It's there, but it doesn't make news like violent mobs of black teens attacking whites, or racist statements by so-called black 'leaders'.

I won't argue that the black community has become pathologically toxic for the most part, but I will try to inform people that not all blacks are lost to the illness that infects most of them.

Thanks for the kind word. I agree with you...it is a damn shame.

Sorry, but many of this current generation (and older liberals) will point to the fact that “the president made sure the terrorists were caught”.

How do I know this? It’s the first thing my uber-liberal sister said to me. My retort was to tell her that guy has never been able to resist making every news item about him.

The FBI made sure that the terrorists were caught, Obama just gave speaches.
