People often come to a decision point on issues like this. They have bought into an idea or person and come to find that it is incompatible with a principle they hold.

They can't keep both.

For the last 30 years here has been the thinnest veneer of morality on the democratic party to allow those who wanted to be deceived to remain loyal.

Joe Biden inadvertently ripped it away and these people had to decide to abandon Christ or abandon Obama.

This election is different from any in my lifetime. Evil has been nakedly put on display and this nation has embraced it. We are at one of those "God gave them over" moments Paul talks about in Romans.

It only gets worse from here.

Perhaps a kind of sifting process. A few rebelled and went for the GOP. But most went right down the president’s primrose path.

Maybe people really aren’t more evil than they were a few months before, but the president made it seem more okay to carry on evilly. I mean look at the gutter level stuff that went on in the past campaign.

It CAN be reversed, but this only happens through voluntary gospel acceptance.

When a nation supports a fag like Obama for president, it might as well go gay, that includes all the gay blacks who voted for him.

“that the Republicans have somehow done something bad to minorities and must atone for it”

Ain’t that a kick in the teeth. We get blamed for what all those good New Deal Democrats like Lester Maddox and Bull Connor did.

So the only core value black people have is skin color.

Well, let's see: The article says blacks favor "same-sex 'marriage'" 51-41%. Pew Forum said this month that white Catholics favor "same-sex 'marriage'" 54-38% -- see: Latinos, Religion and Campaign 2012: Catholics Favor Obama, Evangelicals Divided

So, by comparison, please fill in the blank about white Catholics: "So the only core value white Catholics have is ____________ "

Btw, the same Pew Forum source says Latino Catholics are even worse -- favoring it 54-31%...whereas Latino Evangelicals don't favor it (25-66%)

don’t they call this “losing your religion” ?

Yup. By comparison both white Catholics and Latino Catholics are likewise losing their religion:

Obama endorsed same-sex marriage. Most blacks have anointed him their leader and will do what he commands

Well, why won't Catholics do what their leaders issue forth on this matter?

So, if the pcts for this issue are actually worse among both white and Latino Catholics, then doesn't your comment above also apply to them?

Isn't there now also "the thinnest veneer of morality" amongst those in the Catholic church???

Latino evangelicals go against the cultural flow.

Yup. And it looks like a LOT of blacks -- inside and outside of their churches; a LOT of white & Latino Catholics inside their churches...need that Gospel!

Absolutely. For many people, religion isn't something to get too wound up about and let affect you too much. They were opposed to gay marriage when their chosen political persuasion did not contradict that stance. Now, not so much. Which basically just says that their moral and religious leadership comes from the democratic party rather than Christ.

Isn't there now also "the thinnest veneer of morality" amongst those in the Catholic church???

Actually I was referring to the democratic party which has supposedly been opposed to gay marriage until Joe Biden's pronouncement a few months ago.

Catholic church teaching is pretty clear on the subject even if their communication and even enforcement of it is sorely lacking.

As C. S. Lewis pointed out, it’s easier for nice people to ignore their religion than it is for nasty people to. Nice people need no help being good. Nasty people need constant help.

I’m one of the nasty people.

Church on Sunday is where they go because they feel guilty about the other 6 days. Candidates for martyrdom are scarce.
