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."
< snip >
. . . 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."

Yep the RINO and “moderates” will never be happy with a conservative candidate and will sabotage them at every turn. They would actually prefer a democrat win.
“I grew up in the south and never have I heard of rubbing a black person’s head for luck...”
I also grew up in the South and the only way I knew about this was by reading it. I’ve never seen it or heard anyone speak of it.
So on the one hand we have RINO and “moderates” who will sabotage and oppose conservative candidates. On the other hand we have conservative voters doing the same exact thing to conservative candidates who do not meet “their” definition of perfection.
I think both actually prefer democrat wins.
The RINO a have their own definition of perfect and it includes amnesty, pro-gay and pro- deficit positions
Very sorry to hear this about your dad, however there are MANY people
in Detroit and Chicago that ARE WAKING UP!!! Many town halls being held and they are RISING UP!!!! Pubbies need to get their arses into these
neighborhoods and START talking some common sense to these folks!!!!
RINOs ARE Democrats in all but label
Lloyd Marcus usually posts his own articles here but he hasn’t posted since Christmas......
No disagreement with me on RINOs. What I can never understand is why RINO’s don’t just leave and join those with whom they agree with.
I’ve also wondered about this, how do they feel about all those peripheral topics being pushed along with ‘racial equality’. Usually, a liberal will not allow themselves to get cornered in an honest debate about the righteousness of all their party pushes for. My impression is, the dyed-in-the-wool Democrats assume the only way to get what they want is to dump all issues into the same pile, and push them together as one united cause. Many traditional christian who happen to be democrats come from a culture where they are used to overlooking certain details that may not apply to them. This trait may come from being a union member at one time in their employment history. That’s often how congress does things as well, they will have something you really want at the bottom of the pile. A lot of things you dont want or dont really care about are stacked on top of that, and so on. The Dems don’t get or expect a ‘line item veto’ on campaign issues.
A fellow Freeper said that it took the Fire bombing and total destruction
of Germany to make the Germans understand that their unwavering support
of Hitler brought about their end. I fear it will take more than the total destruction
of our currency and way of life to wake people up. The takers will remain the takers
because it's the only way of life they know. And when the money runs out I fear they
will not understand the implications of their votes for greed.
We are in for a serious awakening, and every month we come closer to Hell in America.
Compare and contrast with how the First World War ended...Germany wasn't invaded, but they surrendered....This lead to the popular theory that she was "Stabbed in the Back", which Hitler used with great effectiveness.
To true. Jesus was never a liberal, not His job. He was the innocent sacrifice for OUR sins. And He did not care what your lot in life was or the color of your skin, He just did His work.
We knew what Romney was 0 lite, yet we were given no choice, they did a poor job of vetting. Or chose to let it come out later, to ruin them.
Both parties protected 0 from being exposed for what he is Traitor, Marxist, power mad, IDIOT with expensive taste and a even more expensive wife to up keep. That we are NOW paying for.
Now another broken promise to the Military. YOU CANNOT KEEP YOUR PHARMACY, starting 4/14/14. To a person like me that is asking to be put 6 ft under. Each new pill they give me me either causes another DRUG INDUCED disease or harms the real ones. Tell me what is so hard to understand a Physio with no diagnostics is torturing my neck, pops a Lumbar disc, I heard it pop, felt the sting, in 20 mins I have pain going down both legs and through my Colon for 2 yrs now. Yet I get told all it is is Arthritis. BS Have 3 Year Old MRI to prove other wise. And did not have colon pain before. New MRI shows the Annular tear @ L4, but the disc is not bulged enough to show, the L4/5Compression fracture does.
I think the tennis stars the Williams sisters, had to make the same choice. Many profess they believe in Christ, but not when skin color is at stake. Look at how many so called Christians vote for people who support ABORTION, which is against the Bible, GOD and Christ Jesus. All I can say hope you like that trip to the fiery pit that awaits you on Judgement day.
I can’t afford to be racist, I have 1 all white, 2 white/black great grands, 1 white/cuban, and I don’t know what #5 due later this month is, just that it is a SHE, all will be loved and wanted. And spoiled by me.
Good article.
I’ve shared it on my FB pages.

It will be no different than other countries such as South Africa, where land formally owned by White farmers is now trashed and looted once given up to the others. All one need do is look at other fine examples such as Detroit.
“So, Slambat, do you consider yourself a Christian?”
Why turn it on me? I’m not the supposed christian preacher
who voted for the most anti christian president in American
history simply because he’s black. What does who and what
I believe have to do with this guys racist hypocrisy?
Unfortunately, this BLACK gentleman was not a follower of MLK. It is also unfortunate, that the majority of the black population isn’t a follower of MLK also. Let’s see, what was that statement of MLK? “I LONG FOR THE DAY THAT A PERSON WOULD BE JUDGED FOR THE CONTENT OF HIS CHARACTER, AND NOT BY THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN”. The statement of this gentleman says it all, loud and clear. They voted for OBAMA for one reason and one reason alone, that he was “BLACK”. Never mind that he lacked any character, and he was a congenital LIAR, and a poltroon. That they voted for this man, just because he was black, because of all the indignities that the blacks have suffered through the years. It was just “GETTING EVEN” time. If that is their attitude, then I’m afraid that it will take us several more generations before we can truly finished what was started in the CIVIL WAR.
Also unfortunately, many other supposedly responsible voters with less pigment in their skin were also not followers of MLK, and enough of them also voted for Obama (twice) to put and keep in office.
Even MLK, had he been true to his own wish, would have stood down and shut up if he was true to himself. But he was not. Apparently, his pal Ralph Abernethy has indicated so.
Pardon me, but the ones who kept OBAMA in office for the 2nd time, were the 3 to 4 million conservatives that didn’t vote for Romney. They didn’t want another “PROGRESSIVE” in the presidential seat. Actually, the election of OBAMA for the 2nd time around was the best thing that can happen to the conservative movement. Now, the whole world, including those people that were stupid enough to vote for this LIAR the 2nd time. Maybe now, these people, or a bigger majority of them will realize that voting for COMMUNISTS would be the worst thing they have ever done.
