“won’t the white churches let them campaign in their churches??????”
That is basically true, for the various “white” churches I have attended over 6 decades. Campaigning from the pulpit or in the church is not something that should take place in a house of God.
Well, Huckabee came pretty close, this is why I find him unpalatable. I hate the hypocracy of the Rats saying there is too much religion in politics — then rushing to Black churches to stir the faithful. I’m all for religion in the public square—as our shared religious values, not as sectarian appeals.
SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Republican Mike Huckabee spoke from the pulpit Sunday, not as a politician but as the preacher he used to be, delivering a sermon on how merely being good isn’t enough to get into heaven.
Huckabee is vying for support from the Christian conservatives who dominate the GOP in South Carolina, which on Saturday chooses a Republican presidential nominee. A former Baptist minister and Arkansas governor, Huckabee is competing for their votes with fellow southerner Fred Thompson.
As in Iowa, where Huckabee won the Jan. 3 caucuses, Huckabee is rousing pastors to marshal their flocks for him. He pitches himself as someone who not only shares their views against abortion and gay marriage but who actually comes from their ranks.
You are so right, remember what Jesus did to the people who used the Synogog for a store? Same, same in my opinion.
I rather agree, but it is my understanding that this started when the black churches were the only Afro-American controlled institutions, following the KKK's destruction of the southern black Republicans, and took the lead in most areas of black society.
If anyone campaigns in white church, the ACLU will be all over it. Separation of Church and state ya know
