They didn’t get the memo from Al and Jesse?

Some in the GOP wish to turn their backs on Christian conservatives and say the Republican party should just stop talking about social issues. They seem to believe a collective mea culpa is the best way forward and that social conservatives are causing them to lose.
Message to the GOP establishment: you are totally wrong and maybe we should change the party initials to OTL (out to lunch). This is the problem with the GOP and all those “inside-the-beltway” consultants and pundits.
If the GOP would actually get out into America they’d understand policy inclusiveness, not just the emptiness of outreach. In the black community, social conservative issues are more unifying than fiscal issues. I’ve often said the most conservative people in America on a Sunday are black.
In 2008, the year we sadly entered into the age of Obama, there were two ballot initiatives on same sex marriage in two populous states that went for Obama – California (Proposition 8) and Florida (Amendment 2). Regardless that Obama won those states, both initiatives won electorate support, to support marriage between one man and one woman.
But Liberal progressives wouldn’t want to admit that a record black voter turnout resulted in their passing. The same has occurred in North Carolina where a same-sex marriage proposal went down in flames. However, when secular humanist progressives don’t get their way, they immediately run to the courts for judicial activism to overrule the referendum of the electorate.
And so is the case in Michigan where on February 25, 2014, Judge Bernard Friedman of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan will begin to preside over DeBoer vs. Snyder, a lawsuit that will address both the 2004 voter approved amendment to the Michigan Constitution that defines marriage between one man and one woman as well as the state adoption law.
The media expects the trial to last at least eight days. But surprise! This is being challenged by black Christian leaders and ministers.
