I had an extraordinary telephone conservation with my 86-year-old black dad, a lifelong Democrat and huge Obama fan. He called to ask me, "Is Obama anti-Christian?"
Dad has been a Christian pastor for over 50 years. I said, "Dad, I have been telling you about Obama's anti-Christian policies for the past five years." Dad replied, "And I have not been listening."
Dad confessed that he simply could not bring himself to go against a black man in the White House. I felt that dad was expressing the sentiments of many blacks of his era. I asked him to explain why he could not honestly assess our black president.
Dad became passionate. He said it was because of deep, deep scars he suffered at the hands of white people. Dad said, "I don't hate white people, but my scars run very deep – calling me a n***** and rubbing my head for luck."

. . . I felt emboldened to challenge Dad regarding this sensitive issue. I said, "Dad, once you know the truth about Obama, which loyalty will reign supreme? Will it be your loyalty to a fellow black man or your commitment to Jesus Christ?"
Dad chuckled and replied without hesitation, "It will be to Jesus Christ."

Correction--that's liberal Jews. True, this category includes far too many Orthodox Jews and and the vast majority of people who identify as Jews, but it's still liberal Jews.
in complete idolatry over the Savior.
Worship of the chrstian "savior" would be a capital offense, since it is idolatry.
What does racism have to do with old black people voting democrat? Their real friends since Lincoln have always been republicans and the republican party.
How many are "color-blinded" by the crosses they resent bearing? By their past enemies they cannot bring themselves to forgive or even love, as Jesus commanded?
Nice to see a pastor finally wake up to the worldly reality he sleepwalks through while guided by his past the Enemy won't let him forget nor forgive.
“If a city has a 30% Negro population, then it is logical to assume that Negroes should have at least 30% of the jobs in any particular company, and jobs in all categories rather than only in menial areas.”
~ MLK's own words, Playboy interview 1968.
From MLK's book "Why We Can't Wait" (unless Bill Ayers ghost-wrote it, these are his own words):
"No amount of gold could provide an adequate compensation for the exploitation and humiliation of the Negro in America down through the centuries…Yet a price can be placed on unpaid wages. The ancient common law has always provided a remedy for the appropriation of a the labor of one human being by another. This law should be made to apply for American Negroes. The payment should be in the form of a massive program by the government of special, compensatory measures which could be regarded as a settlement in accordance with the accepted practice of common law."
FBI surveillance showed that King had dozens of extramarital affairs. Although many of the pertinent records are sealed, several agents who watched observed him engage in many questionable acts including buying prostitutes with SCLC money. Ralph Abernathy, who King called "the best friend I have in the world," substantiated many of these charges in his autobiography, "And the Walls Came Tumbling Down".
There. A list of facts, and I didn't need to insult you once. You can't say the same.
This is a bit off topic, but I have never understood why people use Uncle Tom as a negative stereotype. If anyone has read “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” Tom is an extraordinarily brave and principled man (the ending of the book makes you want to stand up and cheer for him), with Godly character. He utilized Christian principles, and stood up against those people against those principles, at the risk of his own life. Why is he a negative stereotype?

> My Irish grandma was the same way. Voting Democrat was an article of faith for her. Reagan made the difference.
It was for me too unil 2008 because my father and his father were as well (no need for the donkey joke comments). I have voted Republican since. It had nothing to to with race; it had everything to do with what I sensed about the man and his ideologies after Ai read up on him. Even with the MSM being compliit in hiding his background, Islamic faith, and ideologies at the beginning I still sensed there was something “not quite right” anout the man and it turns out my instincts were right.
> “Just doesn’t make any sense.”
Sure it does. Most are racist. This is their big chance to stick it to the white man.
Sadly all they are really doing is stivking it to themselves...
There should be a point where all Christians hear God ask them that question, “Who do you love more?”. There is a price to be paid for the answer, but an even greater price has already been paid for our eternity.
I’d vote for Allen West or Dr. Benjamin Carson any day over Obama. I’m white btw and look up to men of character, regardless of their color. When more black people begin realizing that we look at them according to their character now they might stop supporting a black man of very immoral character. Just a thought.
The same Allen West who voted in favor of the indefinite detention without trial of American citizens (NDAA 2011)?
The same Allen West who voted in favor of redistributing wealth to the Black Caucus and their constituents (the Pigford USDA vote)?
The same Allen West who publicly stated on Facebook he wants "Justice for Trayvon©"?
The same Allen West who did such a pathetic job on contesting the fraudulent election that it cost him his seat?
The same Allen West who was shown The Cold Case Posse's evidence on the forged Obama birth certificate, the false SS #, and the phony Selective Service Registration, said he agreed with the evidence 100%, he thinks the documents are forged, BUUUUT ....he said he would not publicly endorse the findings "...because he wanted a future in politics"?
THAT Allen West?

Compared to Obama West is a saint...: )
Most studies show that people will choose to “stick it” to others even if it causes themselves harm.
Then find us 2 conservatives who fit the bill.
I am sick and I am being FORCED to GIVE UP MY PHARMACY thanks to the new Tricare Life Pilot program, starts 4/14/14. Either use a YOU ARE A DAMN NUMBER base pharmacy with mostly generics, or Express Scripts who uses the cheapest crap generics, does not care that you need a specific manufacture, or country of origin, and you get your drugs tossed on your front porch for any one to steal. Do not have to be signed for.
I have a FULL typed sheet of drugs I react to badly. Ordering 3 months of a drug I might only can take 1 or 5 pills is DUMB money wasting to boot. 3 of my illnesses are DRUG INDUCED thanks to the side effects, and they don’t go away when you stop the drug. They become a new illness instead!
Haven’t seen the Platinum Healthcare our elected IDIOTS have reduced. Just the Military’s or Ret. Military.
How old are you and what part of the south are you from? My mother is from SC and it was considered good luck to rub a little black boys head for luck. Lets not sugarcoat the past.
Try the South of pre 1960.
Here's the dirty secret that no one will admit to: You Can't Find Two.
And look at the people they'd be expected to lead. In the words of Chuck Schumer, "We're united - you're not".
In the eyes of certain FReepers, Reagan was a RINO - he cut and ran from Lebanon, gave amnesty to illegals, and raised taxes. In their eyes, HE’S JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
In the eyes of certain FReepers, Jesus Christ was a RINO - He befriended and forgave tax collectors, advised people to pay their taxes to the government, and consorted with known prostitutes. In their eyes, HE’S JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Which begs the question, why did we end up with Bishop Willard from Planet Kolob as the 2012 GOPe nominee? Because in the case of every conservative candidate, the cry went out: YOUR GUY’S JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
The FReeper’s Definition of Conservative: “I'm not sure, but whatever it is, it sure as hell ain’t YOU!!!”
Well said! Agree!!
“Dad confessed that he simply could not bring himself to go against a black man in the White House.”
Hate to say it but his dad, the so called “Christian pastor”
is a died in the wool racist. And now that his racism has
spun around and bit him in the ass he wants to change his
tune if only he can get over his own racism. Pathetic.
He should be made to lie in the crap he, in his ignorant
racism, blindly and ignorantly supported.
“Dad chuckled and replied without hesitation, “It will be to Jesus Christ.”
Oh yea, the only way the fool can see redemption. Now he
decides to believe in god over the Obama just to save face.
Well good luck with that one.
