Conservative Minded Liberal Blacks

Recently I was at a family gathering and the topic of politics arose. I knew that the majority of my family were mostly Obama supporters, so I would not start a conversation on the issues knowing that the minds of most blacks are already programmed to always say, "Obama is the greatest", no matter what bad decision he makes. However, in this conversation, I was greatly stunned as they began to speak about illegal immigration. As I began to speak with them regarding this issue, I found that all of my family members who were speaking on this subject held the same views that I held. More than that, they agreed with my views concerning capitalism and for the most part same-sex marriage.

The only difference we held is that I consider myself a conservative and they believe that blacks should vote democrat. They however, do not consider themselves liberals. They don't want our borders open to illegal aliens, nor do they believe that there should be amnesty given to those who break our immigration laws. Oh and guns, they all have them and hold dear to their right to possess them. I was baffled. The vast number of blacks who voted for Obama, voted for him because they wanted to see a view of themselves in the Oval Office. But if they had to consider the policies and ideologies that Obama holds to, one would find a great divide. If they would consider the Christian views that many have been raised on they would find themselve at odd with Obama.
Why in a time when blacks have so many opportunities would they sucumb to a policy of liberalism and socialism? Many blacks enjoy the opportunities to live comfortably, to make as much money as their talents will provide, to share in building prosperous furtures for their children, and many are people of great faith. I do mean real faith, not the Obama, political brand. Many believe in having strong loving families. So why would any of them join sides with a man who would fund the very agency that would destroy our black babies? It's simple. The average black person on main street does not have a clue about the ideologies of liberalism verses conservatism. They see an allegience to the leaders within the black community that has given them over to the Democratic Party as political pawns.
I would like to challenge any black person to think about what it is they believe in regards to the best political path for our country. Can government best meet our needs, or should we all use the skills and talents that God has given us to contribute to the good of our society? Is it okay, to kill our babies are should we as a people desire to build a more vibrant future for future black babies. Obama's mother did not abort him, when she was a young teenager, with no husband. So why should he believe that anyone else should? Do blacks really believe as a whole that capitalism is a bad thing? I know many very sucessful black people who have succeeded in our capitalist economy.
Will blacks ever develop their own ability to weigh the pros and cons, to decide for themselves what is truly best for them, or will they continue to allow themselves to be fed to the wolves by the likes of Obama, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton? You decide and I hope that you will decide that conservatism has a place for you as well. You may find much in common with the principles of conservativism.
