The YBPDLN Ping List is generally published infrequently but based on the exploits of the megachurch pastors posts can spike for a season. If you would like on or off of this list please FReepmail me.

The choir sang hallelujah as the congregation of 15,000 clapped and sang along. Reverend James Meeks ratcheted up the intensity of his speech. “Man looks at the outside,” he shouted rearing his head back. “But God looks at your heart! Are you with me here?”
Judging by the response, Meeks had the faithful at Salem Baptist Church hanging on his every word.“One hundred percent with Reverend Meeks,” said parishioner Eugene Harris outside the mega-church on Chicago’s fiercely Democratic South Side.
He speaks of the gun violence that plagues Chicago’s West and South Sides, the poverty and the appearance that there is no end in sight. “Our schools are still broken and getting worse. We’re last in employment or business. Our neighborhoods are deplorable,” says Meeks. “And we still get the same promises from the Democratic party, but we don’t get any deliverable. I think it’s time we should look at another candidate.”

Not sure if this fits outside the RF, but this could be hugh!

I pray for his safety. The religious left takes no prisoners.
And then will go out and do the exact opposite.
First Newt Minow, now Meeks.
Fiercely Democratic South Side???
The South Side is also fiercely African-American, fiercely violent, fiercely full of every social pathology you can think of.
Is there a relationship between Democrat voting patterns and social problems??????
A slave trying to escape from one of the largest Democrat Plantations.
This simply cannot be allowed to happen. Look for some kind of “Criminal indictment” from either Rahm or the Feds soon.
Would love to see a revolution in Chicago against the commies
They have been voting for Dems for 50 years and look where they are!
I think that is a very strong point
Charles Barkley siad that and someone made a photoshop and it was awesome
True, but I’m pointing out the exuberance disparity. And almost no one can be more exuberant than black church-goers.
First Rand Paul and now Bruce Rauner. Both GOP candidates who have decided to try to rationally engage black voters by listening to them first and then, hopefully, explaining how conservative values can positively influence their lives and their children’s futures.
Rev. Meeks is the first to indicate publicly that he’s willing to give the GOP a chance as a result. Let’s hope he’s just the start. Fixing the mess in the center cities should be at the top of the Republican agenda, but doing it and getting credit for doing it are two different things, as DeBlasio’s election in NYC proved.
To get credit, GOP candidates have to listen first, then convince black leaders that they’re sincere in intending to address their problems, not with more disabling welfare programs, but by rebuilding conservative family values and a work ethic.
If this effort by Paul and Rauner works, it will be huge. And it should work; blacks have been taken for granted by liberals for years, and no more so than under our current President who has done nothing for them, absolutely nothing. (Well there are the free phones, I guess.)

Hugh indeed! Just need to get the ball rolling . . .
I’m referring to empty praise. And it is in abundance today.
But I see no color that has the market on that. Just turn on the TV and there are plenty of ‘preachers’ that are full of empty praise bent on emptying your pocket and the vast majority of those are white.
Then your eyes are closed.
