Nomad News-Vol.6-No.1128

WILL THE BLACK ROBE REGIMENT SADDLE UP THIS TIME? In Nomad News No. 110, I wrote about the Black Robe Regiment, the name the British gave to the courageous and patriotic American clergy during the early days of the Republic's founding. Each Sunday they would stand in their pulpits wearing the long black robes of that era and preach the word of God. Then they would preach on current topics, tell the congregation who to vote for, and explain the importance of voting. After the sermon they would remove their black robes to reveal the uniform of their miitary regiment. Lately, you probably have noticed that I have been pessimistic about the future of our country. I still believe Obama and the Democrats feel they have enough votes in their back pockets with the "freebie" voters, the misinformed, the blacks and the unions that they can overcome any Republican challenger. I haven't changed my opinion but I now see a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe we will be able to pull the cat out of the fire and revive what once was a great nation. After Obama snubbed Israeli Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu, a group of black pastors have "saddled up" to denounce Obama and the Democrat's refusal to hear the Prime Minister speak to the Congress of the United States. Finally, a number of black pastors have become disillusioned with Obama's constant lies and betrayals. Here's what pastor Dexter Sanders had to say: "The thing to me that makes no sense is why the Congressional Black Caucus has teamed up with this current administration against Israel. And, yes black caucus, I'm saying you have gone against Israel when you decide to protest the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, from coming and speaking on the behalf of the nation of Israel. That is a slap in the face to the people of Israel, and not only that, it is a slap in the face to God. And, not only that, it is also a slap in the face of all Bible-believing African American people in this country." That's why black pastors are so open to defying Obama on this critical issue. Now it's time for the Black Robe Regiment to saddle up and join this crusade. Obama has absconded with freedom and liberty and if we don't return it in 2016, it will be gone for ever and America will be ripe for plucking. Christianity is being attacked on all fronts. Christianity is the one and only thing that stands between freedom and world domination by Islam. It's time for the Black Robe Regiment to warn their congregations on the dangers that face America. And, it's time for the Evangelical Christians to get over their hang-up and vote to help us elect a conservative who has read the Constitution of the United States and knows what's in it. If the Black Robe Regiment and the Evangelicals had fulfilled their obligations in 2012 we would not have the swarm of termites in the White House that are destroying America from within.
