Obama’s Ungodly Policies Risk Black Christian Votes

Once upon a time, I wrote a newspaper column while onsite at a Democratic National Convention.

I opined that, “It really doesn’t matter who the Democrats nominate as their party standard-bearer – Bill Clinton, David Duke or a loaf of bread – black voters will blindly support him (or it).”

Indeed, blacks have gone overwhelming Democrat since the 1932 presidential election, when Franklin Roosevelt captured 71 percent of the black vote.

Given that history, most political observers expect the same outcome when black voters go to the polls this upcoming November. Especially since one of their own is running for a second term in the White House.

Well, I have a different view. While I expect that the majority of blacks will indeed cast their ballots for Barack Obama, I seriously doubt he will capture 96 percent of the black vote this time around.

That’s because a certain segment of the black population – socially conservative, church-going Christians – are none too pleased with the ungodly positions the president has taken on such issues as same-sex marriage and abortion.

Indeed, the 1,300-member Coalition of African-American Pastors is currently circulating a petition among their church congregations encouraging Obama to reconsider his election-year support for same-sex couplings.

“By embracing gay marriage,” said Rev. William Owens, the Coalition’s president, “President Obama is leading the country down an immoral path. Some things are bigger than the next election.”

Then there’s the National Black ProLife Coalition, a network of pro-life and pro-family organizations. It points out that abortion is the leading cause of death for blacks.

And that Democrat-aligned Planned Parenthood, whose president got podium time at the Democrat convention in Charlotte, is most responsible for the yearly slaughter of pre-born black babies.

“We’re calling out black leaders,” the Coalition declares, “who align themselves with the destructive eugenic force of Planned Parenthood.” That includes Obama, who has sold his soul to the abortion-industrial complex.

So, while a majority of black voters almost certainly will line up behind Obama again – despite the immoral path down which he has led this nation, as Rev. Owens lamented, those that place God above political party, above racial hegemony, will vote not to return him to the White House.

Maybe half or more of the people on this site are going to vote for the person who brought taxpayer subsidized abortions and gay marriages to an entire state because of their fear of one man. There are a lot of people who will have to explain things to the Lord one day. I know I’ll be doing some explaining myself.

I do agree with CHRISTIAN DIARIST, Obama will get fewer black votes this time around. But because the only choice they are presented with has a problem with moral principles, they will more than likely not vote for the alternative.

I don’t expect Romney to increase his percentage of black votes at all. It may even decrease. But that is because blacks are social conservatives, where as Romney is any and everything but socially conservative. But I also expect Obama’s black vote total to decrease because most blacks don’t believe in gay marriage at all. That will hurt Obama in some states, like North Carolina.

Reagan was right. We should have been about expanding the tent by drawing those who agree with our conservative principles, not changing our principles to increase the number in the big tent.

Republicans never sealed the promise of freedom for the black community until 1965 but it was the Kennedy's (Jack and Bobby) that started sending the Government down to finish the job, even though most Democrats voted against the 1965 Act. The black community moved to the Democratic column primarily because of the Kennedy's

There's some truth to this.... the Kennedys did reach out to MLK, but....

The Republican party was FOUNDED for the express purpose of destroying slavery. Which it did.

It was Republicans who pushed through the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to free, naturalize, and enfranchise blacks.

Republicans spent the next 100 years, off and on, pushing for civil rights and anti-lynching laws, only to be thwarted by Democrats at every turn.

It was a Republican president, Eisenhower, who sent the 82nd Airborne to desegregate the schools.

It was a Republican president, Nixon, who introduced affirmative action as a corrective measure, to undo the purge of blacks from government offices that happened on Democrat Woodrow Wilson's watch.

The Civil Rights legislation of the 60s got a higher percentage of Republican than Democrat votes.

Just like the environmental movement, the civil rights movement was originally a Republican initiative, which was later hijacked by Democrats -- who then rewrote history to dishonestly claim full credit for these movements.

BTW... I noted above, that, "The Republican party was FOUNDED for the express purpose of destroying slavery" -- that's still true today. In the 19th century, we fought plantation slavery. In the 20th century, we fought socialist slavery (and that battle not quite over yet). In the 21st century, we will be fighting debt slavery.

And just as always, the damnned Democrats are, and ever shall be, on the WRONG SIDE... until the very last minute.
