You misread my post. I never proposed weakening the penal code. Rather, strengthening it may save innocent lives in black communities. Also, I'd like to see the Christian Coalition make a stronger effort to influence black churches. Outreach is not pandering.
Again, thx for your reply. And I agree, outreach is not pandering, it is the opposite of it. Outreach, esp in spiritual, non-political ways, will bear the most fruit, but unfortunately take longer to happen. It makes no difference, as white bread types like us cannot sell the GOP to blacks anyway. I hear many voices in the black church who are saying the right thing spiritually, but I believe they are afraid to persuade their followers that Christian action at the voting booth is also required, and to vote for the best party is included in that duty.
If anyone has any plans, other than the one this post is based on, to reach out to blacks and convince them that the GOP is the best choice, I'm all ears, but the ones I heard over my 20+ years of political study have not born fruit.....
