[no dems]

In the black community, church life is more of a cultural thing than a spiritual thing. That's how they can go to church on Sunday and vote for baby killers and queer marriage advocates on Tuesday. No morals, no convictions.

no dems: Don't write off all blacks as liberals. Bush is going to pick up a larger percentage of the black vote this time. Many blacks are doing great things for the GOP.

I hope to see Bush visit a black church or two before Nov 2, he has done well in that environment.

The enemy is Liberalism, not blacks.

Well to be fair, polls show that most blacks do oppose gay marriage.

I think it has more to do with the competition between the big, so-called bread and butter issues versus the social ones. In other words, even most blacks who oppose gay marriage and abortion on demand are not going to vote against Kerry or other Dems who support those two things yet say all the right things when it comes to 'civil rights', education and health care spending, etc.

You see it all the time. Take California for example. There the majority of Hispanics (and blacks too ???) voted for the ban on gay marriage, yet they turn right around and vote for politicians who oppose them on that issue and others.

"...No morals, no convictions."

And you sir/madam have no brains. Putz.

No morals, no convictions.

Actually, it's more charitable to note that our fellow black citizens do have morals
that seem to momentarily disappear in the balloting booth.
They may vote Democratic in overwhelming numbers...but at least the ones I know do
admit that the DNC is not a religious body.

Unlike the university professors I know.

Nothing could be further from the truth, especially at the church I happen to attend...our Pastor forbids ANY candidate from taking to the puplpit and stumping. Also, more and more Black pastors are beginning to realize what a colossial failure the Democratic Party has been to our communities. Even the New York Slimes had to concede this in an article that was published on October 5th by David Kirpatrick; it probably took all his strength not to choke on his Starbucks latte while writing the story. The issue of Gay marriage is a very contentious one among Black Christians. So, as another person posted on this forum said, don't be so quick to write all Black Americans off.
