McCain, Black America and Why African American CHRISTIANS are 'Conservative . . .'

As the election year rumbles on, I am at a loss of how to describe what I am seeing.

As a lifelong (economic) liberal, I do have to admit that I am QUITE pleased that the 'far right' of the economic-political spectrum has all but isolated themselves from 'mainstream America.'

The War in Iraq is by now an unpopular war, and so the 'Far Right' instead wishes to also attack Iran!

The Economy is struggling under two terms of George W. Bush 'free-market' principles, yet the Republican Party still caters primarily to the rich, the elite and largely utilizes we Evangelicals and Traditional Catholics as "swing votes," promising votes and judges on issues such as the abortion debate (PRO-LIFE) and the homosexuality debate (TRADITIONAL, NATURAL LAW marriage of men and women).

Yet, 'pro-choice' and 'homosexual' Republicans have left that part of the political spectrum essentially compromised on important moral issues.

BUT, the Far Left is really no alternative either.

Perhaps the African American community, 50% of which was raised Baptist Christian and the majority of which are morally conservative, knows this best!

African American Christians, leaders such as Bernice King (daughter of Martin Luther King, Jr.) bravely uphold historic Christian Teaching (teaching first passed on to the Ethiopian Church LONG before any Germans or English were made into Christians! :-). Yes, it is African American Christianity that must now decide.

Do African American Christians support a Black candidate (actually half-Kenyan, but also half-Anglo . . .)?

OR do African American Christians vote not according to the color of skin, but (to paraphrase Dr. M.L. King, Jr.!) according to the "content of character?"

PRO-LIFE is the ONLY moral response on abortion! This has been the case from the 300's A.D. through the twentieth century in Western Christendom!

No, homosexuality has NEVER been compatible with Christianity (Paul's Letter to the Romans, chapter 1).

BUT, the 'ultra-liberal' Barack Obama, doing anything to get elected, will, of course, compromise and support baby-killing and homosexual coupling, surprisingly views that are much against the moral views of African American Christians!

There we have it.

Political compromise equals more babies left unprotected by law. What's next, communist Chinese government intrusion into parental rights?

Blessings in YHWH,
