Well look, if they got this right, then they ought to be blessed.

When someone does something right, I like to praise the right act—not wait until they’re perfect. :)

Yes, know Blacks like this as well. An articulate Conservative can earn their vote as they are disenchanted with the extreme Leftism embraced by the Dems and obama.

” a faith-based coalition of 34,000 churches comprised of 15 denominations and 15.7 million African-Americans...”

Those numbers are beyond astounding. Something going in the right direction, for a change.

I met a small town minister downtown in my small town a few years ago. This was before the election of Obama and before the introduction of "GD America" preacher Jeremiah Wright.

He told me about his church and I patted him on the back.

I said "I sure would like to attend your church some Sunday"...

And he shuttered...and a while later said..."OK".

It was apparent that Whitey wasn't welcome in his church.

I guess the ‘PC’ in PCUSA stands for ‘politically correct’.

Yeah. Like the states and governors who, after complying with Roe v. Wade for 42 years, suddenly start talking about nullification when it comes to federal gun control.

I’m told the national Episcopal Church meets this summer and that on the agenda is approval of trial liturgy for same sex marriages. How sad for that grand old church which most of our founding father belonged and were active.

I’d be willing to bet a lot of blacks that are conservative Presbyterians tend to NOT vote Democrat.

If you wanted to have a gathering of all of the conservative black Presbyterians, you wouldn't need to rent a football stadium.

The Congregationalists, which most of the northern founding fathers belonged to, went that way many years ago.

Unfortunately it doesn’t appear that it will cause them to cease voting for Dem politicians who are backing what they reject on religious grounds.

So are these the “regular” Black chrstians who endorse and vote for Democrats election after election after election, or are these the so-called “uncle toms?”

The Conservative Congregational Church believes the Scriptures.

When more and more of the protestant denominations, Church of England, Presbeterian, some Lutheran group, wake up and recognize their true roots, they will rejoin, happily, the Catholic church from which they split. The truth never changes and people are beginning to see that the revolution was a mistake of enormous proportions...and consequences...
