New Anti-Gay Christian Group Launches
Former Christian Coalition spokesman Bishop E.W. Jackson says that the black members of Congress are in the grips of Godless Democrats and homosexuals. Therefore he is launching STAND America, a new PAC dedicated to electing conservative black lawmakers. Via Christian news site OneNewsNow:
"They are pro-abortion, they are pro-homosexuality, they are pro-gay marriage -- and the black community doesn't agree with any of these things...and it is time [those lawmakers] were challenged," he vows. "[O]ur PAC is going to challenge them, recruit candidates, and ultimately see to it that they are defeated, and that the black community has an alternative leadership to look to." According to Jackson, members of the Congressional Black Caucus have insulted the black community by "conflating the black struggle for civil rights with the demands of radical homosexuals for marriage and other rights." That, he says, is "one of the most preposterous frauds ever perpetrated on a people." Consequently, the bishop says he is "declaring war" on the Democratic Party and expects his PAC's candidates will be running as Republicans or Independents. "The Democrat Party [sic] has become a coalition of the godless, and it has a death grip and it is a curse on the black community -- and it is about time that that death grip was broken and that curse was broken," says the Harvard Law School graduate.
