If ever a group had the right to "trade mark" a term it would be American blacks and the term "civil rights."

From today's "Letters" section of The Dallas Morning News:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment regarding the possibility of voting and thereby expressing my opinion about gay marriages. I would love to be able to vote on this issue.
As an African-American over 50 years old, I am well aware of the powerlessness of having my rights ignored or abused or my heartfelt opinions disregarded. It is highly prejudicial for those who support gay marriage to cut off, and totally attempt to disenfranchise, those of us who do not agree with them.
If you support gay marriage, why not put this legitimate issue before the people, whom you claim to support and honor, and let the majority of the voting citizens decide for ourselves.
Dorothy Brooks, Garland

The Boston Clergy stood tall rdb. I heard the news while driving in Cambridge and started tooting the horn to wake up the liberals. :-}
Thanks for the ping. Very encouraging. Now if we can get Vernon Robinson into the house and Herman Cain into the Senate, I will be one happy guy.

Its no secret that the vast majority of homosexual activists are Democrats. But herein lies a problem that the Democrats did not count on. American blacks are the most loyal Democrat constituency. However, a group of black ministers in the Greater Boston area has issued a statement condemning homosexual marriage and lending their support to President Bushs amendment proposal. While this does not portend a major political shift among American blacks, it does demonstrate that the party they fervently support has gone too far.The liberals have finally crossed the line. As I've said repeatedly, the source of the social conservatism of many of the blacks who actually are conservative lies in the church.
By combining the attack on marriage with a comparison to the civil rights struggles of blacks, the bed-wetters have actually nudged a sleeping giant.
Contrary to the hand-on-wallet politics of Al Sharpton, most black clergymen will not stray too far from scripture when it comes to the notion of gay marriage. The announcement in the liberal bastion that is Boston proves that.
As this issue gains more and more traction, many more blacks will begin to polarize themselves and begin to understand that there is a vast gulf of understanding between most white liberals and the religious black masses.
But until and unless conservatives in general, and the GOP in particular can capitolize on that split in understanding, the status quo will reestablish itself once the gay uprising is resolved, one way or the other.
Many other members of the CBC are now asking for an investigation into the Aristide debacle. But this begs the question: Why is the CBC so outraged over Aristides alleged kidnapping, especially since this Caucus was questioning its support for him?
And for your other point, I find I have to agree, though it is a point that I hadn't given any thought to previously.
The Caucus wants to find a wedge -- any wedge issue that will so vilify the Adminstration and enamor black America to their line of thinking that they will even follow up on what is obviously a measure of desperation.
Even though it is apparent that Aristide is lying, the CBC doesn't care, just as long as they can use it to create more enmity toward conservatives in general and the Administration in particular.

Oh man,
am I ever glad to see this post!
I've had an Aristede/Jackson mental image ever since the first announcement that he had not really, actually, not truely, stepped down - it was all a set up....
by people who hated him.
Personally.
Because he's not understood.
[And, he knows what's best for everyone else...selectively]

Homosexual Agenda Ping.
Verrry interesting article - the Democrats assume that virtually all black people will stay on the "D" plantation. Looks like some are getting the desire for freedom from "massa" and it sure is making "massa" worried.
Let me know if anyone wants on/off this busy ping list.

Which is precisely the reason why I wrote this piece. It is a sign of desperation. I would not be surprised if the CBC concocted this story themselves.

Most blacks don't seem to understand that the left uses them in this way. If they fail to tow the leftist line then their blackness becomes meaningless to the left. Then they become a "
race traitor."
The CBC is legitimately angry about the fall of Aristide, not because he is black, but because he is a Marxist. The same caucus members would defend the white Castro's ouster of the democratically elected Fulgencio Batista. Batista's blackness means nothing to them because of their loyalty to Marxism.

Outstanding! I was gonna raise the point in your second paragraph after I read the first. You logically followed their mindset.
Castro is great to the CBC because he is a Marxist, nevermind his persecuting Afro-Cubans.
