It’s 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 Bush’s 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 Aristide’s 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.
