Blacks Divorcing Obama and the Democratic Party Over Gay Marriage

But in December 2010, the president said his position was evolving, and he fully endorsed same-sex marriage six months before the 2012 general election.

 

Exaclty. President Obama jumped on the gay marriage bandwagon only because of intense lobbying and pressure from perverse activist groups. Nothing more.

Fisher, the firewood salesman, noted that he had voted for Obama.

“Ask me if I regret it,” said Fisher, still holding his Bible. “I do. If I could take it back, I would — on this issue alone. We expect him to rule this nation based on the beliefs in this book.”

The others in the pastor’s study agreed.

Wow. Black ministers finally recognizing that President Obama was a bad choice. African-Americans have been voting for Democratic politicians for decades. When are they going to recognize that the Democratic Party has not cared about the plight or the future of black folks? Black politicians take advantage of fear, hatred, and racism, but there are few results following. More African-Americans are joining the Republican Party, looking for a political party which will represent their values and understand their views.

They also were upset by the decision to light the White House rainbow colors after the ruling. That same day, Obama spoke at the funeral for the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, an African American minister gunned down at a church in Charleston, S.C. Surrounded by African American clergy, Obama prayed and burst into song — all after supporting same-sex marriage.

“Singing ‘Amazing Grace’ after he led the charge — what a shame,” Fisher said. “The church is under siege, it’s just coming from different directions.”

“They have tried to attach this to civil rights,” said the pastor’s wife, Rhonda Miller, 52.

“No connection whatsoever,” Fisher said.

“Because they have a choice,” she said of gays and lesbians, though scientists generally believe that is not the case.

 

This comment especially deserves more attention than it's getting at this time. No, the scientific community has not reached a final consensus about homosexual conduct, whether it's nature or nurture. The Los Angeles Times needs to provide better information than an aside to justify this comment.

 

They blamed themselves for not standing up sooner, and more forcefully. The Bible told them to love the sinner, hate the sin, but perhaps they had been lax, loved the sinners too much.

 

The answer is the grace of God, which is  serious matter. Either men and women believe the truth of God's Word, or they don't.

 

“Satan is subtle,” Rhonda Miller said. “You say, ‘I’ll go along with that,’ and before you know it, it’s an abomination.”

Sylvia Sims, 59, the church office administrator, said Christian families have “made allowances” for gay relatives who came out of the closet. They have accepted gay politicians, including Houston's three-term mayor, Annise Parker. Now Sims sees the ruling as a divine wake-up call.

“President Obama was wrong. Those people were wrong. But they were wrong because we let them be. We let a gay mayor in. And God said, ‘I’m going to show you because you let this in,’ ” Sims said. “God is sick and tired of us as Christians not standing up for what’s right.”

It's time to stand up for the truth. I am glad to read that more pastors and preachers, that men and women of godly character and right believing, are finally recognizing the need to "Punch Back Twice as Hard".

Sims has been a straight-ticket Democratic voter, but said no more. Rhonda Miller agreed.

Wow! More good news.

After the high court’s ruling, Fisher said he initially vowed never to vote for a Democrat again. Now he wants to be a more discerning voter.

           
Bam!

“It's going to make us more diligent” as Christian voters, he said, quizzing politicians before elections because, “we got to know where you stand.”

“And not just where you stand on Sunday,” Sims added.

“If we really look at our values, they're more conservative,” the Rev. Miller said. “Democrats treat us like a 2 a.m. phone call: They come by late in the election, they do nothing for the neighborhood, they give speeches and they sell us out.”

Miller noted that during the past year, he formed an alliance with local conservatives, including several white Republican activist ministers, against a Houston equal rights ordinance.

Wow! Wow! Wow! President Obama has been a uniter after all, but against his perverse, regressive agenda, and bringing together men and women of faith tired of Big Government shutting down their views and fighting against their God-given rights and realities.

He rejected the notion that “gay is the new black,” comparisons between gay and civil rights, a movement dear to the 57-year-old church, founded by his uncle in a garage.

Every Republican presidential candidate should turn the above phrase into a campaign slogan and reach out to black communities throughout the country.

In some ways, the minister said, the ruling and other setbacks actually make it a thrilling time to be a Christian in America.

“You never have testimony,” he said, “if you don’t have a test.”

Wow! Amen to that!

Final Reflection

Black voters in this country are breaking up with President Obama and his communistic leaning Democratic Party. Local politicians throughout the South have turned over to the GOP. Black pastors, who have routinely voted Democrat, are rethinking their alliance or giving up on the party altogether.

Republicans, social conservatives, and liberty advocates across the country must reach out to these black communities, respect their concerns, embrace their values, and bring them into a strong, new coalition which will give rise to a new birth of freedom.

A new Civil Rights Movement is breaking out across the country, a movement based on the Bill of Rights, the rights already recognized in the United States Constitution, which the current President and the sometime slanted majority on the US Supreme Court insists on ignoring, redefining, or upending entirely.
