The Religious Right V The Religious Left
Reverend Al Sharpton who happens to be an American of the Black racial group came out with a message from the religious left criticizing the religious right by stating that their efforts should be aimed at fighting poverty, insuring equal access to education, and fighting other social injustices instead of being against homosexual marriage and abortion.
The Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson who also happens to be an American of the Black racial group responded by stating that the breakdown of marriage is what cause these social injustices and that they will be remedied when families united again.
This is opposed to the Democrat message of no fault divorce and cohabitation which probably means Mr. Sharpton does not want to hear it. Legalized abortion which is also supported by the Democrat party results in the deaths of three times as many Blacks as non Hispanic Whites.
I am convinced Mr. Sharpton has the wrong priorities. I am not stating that Mr. Patterson is 100% correct and that Mr. Sharpton is 100% wrong but the idea is to go back to the pattern of the 1950’s before the breakdown of marriage and the legalization of abortion and take a new path on both of those issue. The federal court has been the largest enemy of the Black people with unconstitutionally legalizing a number of practices that have proven destructive of the institution of marriage. One of those is pornography and the other seems to be contraception. Both of these contributed to the Sexual Revolution of the 1960’s.
Even before the liberal attack on the institution of marriage there was a disparity between the marriage rate of Blacks and that of Whites but some of the issues have been addressed since then but do no aid in remedying the situation. From what I have heard the government has also managed to award single women for not getting married in their program of help for needy families which adversely effects the poor which Blacks tend to be. This strangely enough will ensure that such women remain poor as having a second person making an income relieves some of the financial burden from the woman.

Al Sharpton is a disgrace to the word Reverend. This guy apparently thinks advancing his "people's" political cause is more important than fighting for BIBLICAL principles, as a Reverend should.
Mr. Sharpton has some good points but he certainly appears biased politically and his priorities are questionable according to Christian Scripture.
I heard him on Glen Beck tonight as he supported homosexual marriage. He came out with the culture liberal argument that being a homosexual is a sin but it is also a right. That is such an absurd argument since it is either moral(right) or immoral(sin).
He also preached about not wanting a theocracy. A theocracy is a government ruled by a religious order and not one ruled by a moral code. It is impossible to have a government that is not ruled by a moral code. The question is what moral code do you want to rule.
