The pro-life advertisements in black areas of Atlanta, correctly describing the black child as an endangered species, are a wonderful sign of hope. In the womb, on the streets and on the battlefield, America's black male, in particular, is now the victim of a three-pronged genocide.
Thank God for a President who has endorsed the Pregnant Women Support Act, and who has promised not to sign any Healthcare Bill which did not include both the public option and the principle embodied in the Stupak Amendment, which taken together will make abortion practically impossible to obtain.
And thank God for a President who is ending the war in Iraq. Now, to end the war in Afghanistan. And to preclude other such misadventures by removing the Lurleen Wallace de nos jours from the State Department.
Fantastic post.
ReplyDeleteIn the 2006 Illinois governor's race, when pro-gay "rights", pro-abortion Republican Judy Baar Topinka ran against pro-gay "rights," pro-abortion Democrat Rod Blagojevich, it was black Baptist minister and State Senator Rev. James T. Meeks who said "for the white conservative voter, I'm their guy."
And he was right.
Meeks represented the socially conservative/economically populist vision that once dominated the Democratic Party, especially in places like Chicago. Meeks even chastised the Democratic Party in Illinois for ignoring its base. Excellent.
Any socially conservative
/economically populist revival in the U.S. must include the black churches and their members, as was the case during the era of the New Deal Coalition, and for all the reasons you spell out, Mr. Lindsay.
As of course you know, Meeks was on Obama's exploratory committee, and his church choir sang at the rally announcing Obama's candidacy.
