Obama versus Jesus: Black Christians Must Decide
The American Thinker ^ | August 28, 2012 | Lloyd Marcus

Posted on 08/28/2012 12:42:25 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

A poll claims that Romney will receive zero percent of the black vote. Well, if the poll proves correct, it means that a vast majority of black voters are ignorant of the truth...or else they're racist.

Black Christians who vote for Obama knowing his crimes against Christianity and biblical principles have chosen to worship the idol of racial loyalty over their discipleship to Jesus Christ. Pure and simple.

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."-Exodus20:3

Incredibly, some blacks have completely forsaken their Christianity for Obama. A fellow PK(preacher's kid) said her parents recently changed their stance on same-sex marriage in support of their black president. I find this remarkable.

Though I disagree, I have been sympathetic and understanding with black seniors who have suffered dearly, with hearts still bearing scars of racial injustice.

A year or so ago, I hosted the first Black Conservative Press Conference at the National Press Club in D.C. Several prominent black conservatives from numerous black conservative groups/organizations spoke. My brother brought my 84-year-old black dad from Baltimore. That evening, Dad said, "Everything I heard today is true. But, because of racism I suffered in my youth, I can not turn against Obama."

At that time, I respectfully gave my hero, my preacher dad, a pass. Some may criticize me, saying, Lloyd, either you stand for conservatism or you do not. While you may have a valid point, it is in my DNA to respect my parents. How do you respectfully tell your usually character-driven parent that his decision to support Obama, no matter what, is rooted in racism and a refusal to forgive?

But now that Obama has been exposed as the most anti-Christian president in U.S. history, senior black Christians must no longer be given a pass for supporting this man.

At stake....

I think that poll is PURE GARBAGE and is CONTRIVED to support the phony "Republicans are all racists" narrative.

About a month or so ago there was a group of something like 1000 black pastors that said they were telling their congregations that they should not vote for Obama due to his position on queer marriage. Common sense says more of those members will not vote for Obama this time vs 2008.

October 20, 2011: Don't Know Much About History (Republicans and Black Americans - a better story than you've heard)Poet W. H. Auden said professors are folks who talk in other people's sleep. True enough. I recall some nodding off in my college history classes (not by me, of course).

No one, however, slept through the history lesson Tuesday night at the monthly meeting of the Hillsborough County (Tampa) Republican Executive Committee. But then Frantz Kebreau is not your ordinary professor. If fact, he's not a professor at all but an airline pilot and former Navy pilot with more than 300 carrier landings, taking some time away from the clouds to promote a more earthly understanding of the blessings of American freedom that people of all races can enjoy (at least and until politicians zero those freedoms out).

One of the favorite indoor sports of liberals is to call conservatives, particularly those with the temerity to embrace the tea-party, racist. To hear media-appointed black "leaders" like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpie, not to mention some of the more demagogic members of the Congressional Black Caucus, you'd think all white American conservatives, regardless of protestations to the contrary and spotless lives, are closet Ku-Kluxers who can barely contain their inner Bull Connor. These bigots we're told, given half a chance, would have our black brothers and sisters on the back of the bus again in a heartbeat.......[snip]

Kebreau, whose parents immigrated to America from Haiti, is having none of this. Since 2009 he's been on the news, talk shows, and speaking circuit making the point that, though few Americans know it, the record of the Republican Party for a century and a half has not only been more supportive of Black Americans than that of the Democratic Party has, but much more so.

In his Tuesday lecture before a couple hundred GOP activists in Tampa, Kebreau pointed out that the more than a dozen civil rights acts introduced into Congress over the past century and a half were all introduced by Republicans and opposed by Democrats, often vociferously. In each case a higher percentage of Republicans supported real civil rights than Democrats, including the all-important Civil Right Act of 1964. A full 80 percent of Republicans voted in Congress for this game-changing legislation that was the beginning of the end for Jim Crow. Only 63 percent of Democrats supported it, not including Democratic icon and former Ku Klux Klan member Robert C. Byrd, who filibustered it."..... [snip]..

Why can't it be both. Several prominent examples come to mind led by Spike Lee and Chris Rock. Their fan base has the highest unemployment, recieves the most abortions, and will suffer second only to seniors under Obozo care.

I totally agree that this is just to paint Romney as a racist. But I doubt that these same pastors would find Romney’s position on gays any better. That is the trouble I’m finding this year. It should be easier because blacks tend to be more anti-gay agenda than whites and don’t have the guilt other people seem to have about being against gay marriage. But Romney’s own position on gays leaves them with no reason to vote for him.

Notice that your quote does not read, “will vote for Romney this time . . ."
IMHO the effect of a decision not to vote for Obama is more likely to lead to a decision not to vote, or a failure to decide to vote. Thus, you could still see a “100%” vote for Obama and yet see a decrease in actual voting support for Obama.
Lloyd Marcus is really taking it to the wall when he challenges his preacher dad on his commitment to Jesus . . .

Could I get a list of Romney’s crimes please? I’m not interested in doctrinal differences, just the actual crimes you have alleged. Thanks

The two factions - Democans and Republicrats - have stopped giving the sheeple a choic. We are given two men to vote against, the lesser bad one wins.

That is no choice, but a well-conceived plan to push the country leftward, into a society where the sheeple are wholly dependant on the government for its existance and survival.

See “Soylent Green”, “1984”, “Brave New World”, etc.

I believe the Pharisees were known for duplicity. Do you gave a list of crimes or was that a lie?

“That evening, Dad said, “Everything I heard today is true. But, because of racism I suffered in my youth, I can not turn against Obama.”

I had a black kid pull a piece of broken glass on me in Jr. High school. A black janitor spit on my head as I walked by him at an industry show I attended as an engineer after college. There was no verbal altercation in either case. I was guilty of being a “cracker”.

Eric Holder has now endorsed racism against whites supported by the most powerful government on earth.

I am blessed that my savior to protect me from this is the greatest warrior ever - Jesus Christ. Those who kneel before Him can stand up to any devil. Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God.

I make no moral distinction between racists who abuse people with their power, and the phoney, deluded “Christians” who enable them with their votes.

I’m on your side here. I recall the pharisees were known for accusing others of crimes.

How do you respectfully tell your usually character-driven parent that his decision to support Obama, no matter what, is rooted in racism and a refusal to forgive?

Perhaps point out words in the "Our Father" .."forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." Perhaps point out our Lord's last words... "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do."

“Eric Holder has now endorsed racism against whites supported by the most powerful government on earth.”

This started long before these thugs were in high places; affirmative action has been the law of the land for years, and accepted by sheeple. As long as that is accepted (that it is OK to deny white men higher education and jobs because they are white men), you will see the demographic nightmare continue as whites are unable to raise families. They are being replaced by Latinos and Asians, without a peep from hardly anyone in high places; they threw away a country without a fight.

It is not only rooted in racism but on a false narrative. It was the democrats who stood in the school house doors to block black integration not Republicans. It was the democrat party that blocked all civil rights legislation. Democrats enacted the Jim Crow laws and on and on. If the truth be known not one black would vote for a democrat.

Actually, it is that we have allowed to be taken out of the Public Square...God.

The worship isn’t so much about 0bama or Romney...it is about the government.

When the government uses taxes to determine your charitable giving...who/what are you worshipping?
