Amen, patriot preacher.
I've posted this in another thread and I think it merits another mention here.
As a young, idealistic (and utterly naive) college student in the early 1960's, I was actually a card-carrying, dues-paying member of the NAACP. For several months, I actually believed in that organization. Reality finally set in as I learned more about it from within the belly of the beast. It was a Communist outfit from the very top to the bottom. I ultimately transferred to a Conservative Christian college and fled from my dalliance with the NAACP, returning to my roots and actively campaigned and voted for AuH20 in the 1964 race. I will forever regret supporting the utterly racist, totally corrupt NAACP during my brief era of youthful ignorance.
Barry Goldwater was a member of the NAACP, at least for a time.
