THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Black ministers, lobbyists and activists recognizing a conservative movement across the nation and wanting to capitalize on it signed the 21st Century Mayflower Compact yesterday to create a positive change in their community. Members of the Mayflower Compact Coalition crafted the document with the goal to reconstitute moral and social values through personal responsibility, and the strengthening of families and communities. The name comes from the 1620 document signed by the Pilgrims that was the seed of democracy in the New World.

Thanks for posting this. It would be wonderful if we could find common ground on values, although given this last week I think we will have a hard time.

Although the often-heard liberal criticism of black conservatives is that they are hired hands

Did you ever get your check MH?

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

"If there is one thing we want to see is for black Americans to stop looking to government to solve all of our problems."

Wise words indeed.
