An ongoing point of contention in the Republican Party has been the extent to which clear identification with traditional Judeo-Christian values is a good idea.
My sense is that when we add to the equation the growing impact of non-white voters standing strongly for these traditional values – which would put Republicans in stark contrast to Democrats – it would be a win-win for Republicans.
My organization, CURE, just convened a meeting in Washington, D.C., of 25 black pastors from around the country, each with an average congregation size of about 1,000, to discuss ideas and policy. These are black Americans, but they are also Christians, and it is their Christianity that defines their lives.
Too many conservatives very mistakenly believe that black votes cannot be moved from the liberal party.
Listening to these black pastors and to many black Christians who approach me in my travels around the country, I hear growing concern about the indifference and disengagement of the Obama administration from the values they hold most dear.
The latest example is the silence of this administration on the genocide occurring in the Middle East toward Christians.
