A Southern black minister tells why he will vote for George W. Bush

Pastor Clarence William Page from Greensboro, NC has published an open letter to black America.

In it, he includes his reasons for voting FOR President Bush, and not to vote for Senator Kerry. He also poses some questions for people to ponder.

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 un-Godly 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.

I'm sure that Jesse Jackson and company will denounce any black man that dares to make statements such as these.
