Yes, but you changed your stance based on principles, not on ethnic pandering. If the existing principles aren’t enough, what is? That’s why I make the point that these days of mass, omni-present media, only an ignoramus doesn’t know at least roughly where the parties at least ostensibly stand on issues, and they still choose the party of gimmees, above every other consideration, icluding their own supposed “social conservatism”. I no longer believe in that supposed social conservatism of the majority of people. I just saw an article touting the idea that most blacks are not opposed to homosexual marriage after all. If true, it doesn’t surprise me. When it came down to the wire, it was a choice between their supposed social conservatism and their desire for freebies, and it’s no surprise that the freebies won. I never could see how a group with the highest rates of bastardy could be so socially conservative, and that applies to a large number of whites also. Surprisingly, one group who lives in a socially conservative way, despite their support in principle for libertinism, is successful white liberals. They don’t practice what they preach, because they know the score. So why are they so adamant in support of a lifestyle of failure for others?
Gay marriage lost in California in 2008, because blacks came out to vote for Obama in record numbers, and 80% of them voted against gay marriage. The black vote was the margin of defeat for gay marriage. What apparently made a difference this year is that (1) Obama endorsed gay marriage, which swayed many blacks' opinions, and (2) Obama then met with many black pastors from religiously-conservative denominations and urged them to tone down their anti-gay rhetoric.
