Black Bishop Calls For All Christians To Leave Democrat Party

Godfather Politics   "In his plea for Christians to make an exodus from the Democratic Party, Jackson refers to the Party as cult-like and cites the following reasons for his statement and actions:

• Pro-abortion
• Rejection of biblical family model and values
• Open hostility to anyone who expresses their Christian values including Dan Cathy of Chick-fil-A and Olympic gold medal gymnast Gabby Douglas
• Actions taken against cities and towns for displaying crosses at memorials
• Actions taken against anyone who invokes the name of Jesus during prayers at official events

"Jackson expressed his disappointment in the way journalist Mary Elizabeth Williams with Salon.com wrote about Gabby Douglas’s tribute to God."  

....Yet after her victory, one of the first responses that truly resonated for me was from a colleague who noted, “I would like her more if she were not so, so, so into Jesus.” Which raises the question – what is Jesus going to do now for Gabby Douglas’ career?....

Bishop Jackson added, “The Democrat Party has turned its back on Christians. It is time to turn our backs on the Democrat Party.”  Hat tip to Linda Sumter, Oklahoma

The The Christian Post gives background on the motivation for Bishop Jackson's efforts: "Jackson pointed to recent statements from liberals attacking Olympic gymnast
Gabrielle Douglas, the 16-year-old sensation who won the all-around gold medal in gymnastics at the 2012 London summer Olympics.

"After her historic victory, Douglas (pictured, left) tweeted a verse from Romans 12:19: "Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.'" 

"Her tweet brought both applause and criticism, but it was the source of the criticism that was the source of irritation for Jackson.

"The accomplished young lady had the nerve to give glory to God for her win," Jackson said in a written statement. "This apparently offended liberals." " 

Chris Matthews of MSNBC could not be reached for comment.

More on the Bishop from Watchwoman on the Wall  "Bishop Jackson is running for U. S. Senate in Virginia.  Please visit his web site and learn more about this honorable candidate."

ReligionToday.com reports that "Jackson also cited the Democratic party's support of organizations such as Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, the Freedom From Religion Foundation and even the NAACP as examples of how far the party has moved away from Christians, particularly black Christians. "What was once an historic and honorable civil rights organization is now nothing other than a left-wing apparatus of the Democratic party,"
