For approximately ten years I have been without political affiliation. I
am not a member of a political party. Today, I plan to change that.
First, I will vote for the reelection of President George W. Bush.
Secondly, I will join the Republican Party.
Why? Well, many (many, many) African Americans will say,"because he
is an idiot". I understand and respect that response. I know
the hurt we feel (and have felt for hundreds of years). I am aware
of the blatant racism the Republican Party has condoned (and in some cases
still condones). My reasons for the stance taken in this position statement
have little to do with racism but they do have much to do with race.
I will vote for the reelection of President George W. Bush because:
1. He is pro-marriage. He believes marriage is between a man
and a woman.
2. He is pro-life. He believes that the killing of unborn, helpless,
innocent children is wrong.
3. He is willing domestically to stand for what God stands for (Faith-based
initiatives prove this).
4. He has a Black woman in the White House (and she is not a maid).
5. He has a Black man as Secretary of State (and he is not a "Tom").
6. He has a Black man as Secretary of Education (and he is not a "figurehead")
.
7. He has stood by (not fired) those high profile Black cabinet members.
8. He believes that "No Child Should Be Left Behind".
9. He has publicly honored God and welcomed the representatives of
God.
10. He is willing internationally to stand for what God stands for (against
sinful UN initiatives).
11. He cares about being right (though, [as all human beings] he is
sometimes wrong).
12. He welcomes and seeks the advice of God's people
I will not vote for Mr. John Kerry because:
1. He claims he is for marriage but he won't stand against the proposed
abuses of it.
2. He claims he is against abortion but he won't stand against the
uses of it.
3. He does change his stated positions often.
4. He claims to be Catholic but he won't stand for what the Catholic
Church stands for.
5. He tries to accommodate the sinful agendas of some Democrats and
thus weakens his moral stance.
6. He tried to run on his VietNam "record" and not on his Senate
record.
7. He does not seem to have a clear view of where he thinks America
should be going.
Now, my answer to Black intellectuals (who think I'm just a stupid
Southerner whose mind was never freed from the shackles of slavery):
1. Some of you are willing to sell your souls for money and position
(and have done so).
2. Some of you have adopted the position of those who hate Jesus,
Jews and Americans.
3. Some of you are too ignorant to realize that we "got where were
are" on Grandma's and Grandpa's prayers.
4. Many of you no longer believe in God.
5. Many of you say you are Christians but won't stand for what God
stands for (in His Holy Word).
6. Many of you are pushing the "gay marriage" agenda (or you are "silent"
about it).
7. Many, many, many of you are "silent" about the horrors of abortion.
8. Many of you are supporting all the "cussing" and moral decadence
many black artists are espousing and exporting.
9. Many of you refuse to hear the truth (whether it's told by preachers
or Bill Cosby).
10. Many of you have finally "arrived" and have now forgotten God.
11. Some of you have been tricked into believing that God is "White"
or is the "White Man's God".
12. Some of you have no interest in an integrated, peaceful America
.
Now, my statement to Racist Republicans
1. God cares zero, zip, zilch about your color.
2. Racism is demonic, ignorant, stupid, and counterproductive.
3. The White Man is NOT "more intelligent", so forget it.
4. Here we come and we "ain't sitting in the back of the bus" (no
thanks to you).
5. The Holy Bible says that "God is no respecter of persons".
6. Your racism is a drag on the Republican Party.
7. We will help you be delivered (if you let us).
How will the reelection of President Bush help Blacks?
1. Black men are already scarce (we sure don't need "gay marriage")
2. All over the world Black people are dying (we sure don't need abortion).
3. It is only by the Grace of God that we are still here (we sure
don't need an unGodly America).
4. President Bush will keep Blacks in his administration (I believe).
5. Faith-based initiatives are better (for us) than are sin-based
initiatives.
6. For too long our children have been "left behind". We need
"No Child Left Behind".
7. We, of all people, truly need a Godly man in the White House.
Summary
No, Mr. Bush is not perfect (I disagree with many things he has done). However,
it appears that he has tried to keep God in the picture. On the other
hand, some Democrats have not stood with the people of God (when great Spiritual
issues arose). Some Democrats appear to be willing to have God pushed
out of every facet of American life. I will not vote for people who
will not honor and stand with the God that Blessed America. Yes, most
of my family members are Democrats (I assume) and you will get their votes,
but, until you change and come back to God, you won't get mine. ###
