WHY I AM NOT A DEMOCRAT.

NETTIE-OLOGY: Once upon a time I was a Democrat, I can’t force myself, despite the pressure to be one, to be a Democrat again. There are three categories I can place my reasons for not being a Democrat in: faith, history and lifestyle.

I have said that I ran away before the #walkaway movement was even an option but, I actually eased away. I ran away from traditional churches. I could not keep up with the “Black Church”, in fact it was an African Methodist Episcopalian church that turned me completely away from denominations and thrust me into a non-denominational church that would become the seed to my understanding of YHWH’s word.

Three things that are still very clear in my mind regarding the HISTORIC A.M.E. church I was a member of. The mindset of the people, who were prouder of being a member of a Black church than their knowledge of Scripture. Second, during an election year, any politician who wanted the “Black” vote visited this church, which was the church leaders way of telling the sheeple who to vote for. And finally, after years of being a part of the “Historically Black Church” lives were not changed for the better.

Heaven is not segregated, I changed churches I joined a church in which taking notes, asking questions and carrying your Bible were the norm not the exception. The church was mostly Black but all people were welcome and we often visited non-black churches to hear a particular speaker. The Pastor taught the Word as it was written not as it was interpreted.

After about a year I began voting my faith not a party. I became a registered Independent.

The one thing the Black church lead me to do was take a closer look at history.  My mother taught me the importance of knowing why I believe what I believe.

When encountering Black atheist I was told Christianity was the “White man’s” religion. I began researching Black people in the Bible. I learned that there were Black people in the Bible.

If they lied about Christianity being the “White man’s religion”, what else did they lie about? We are taught about great men and women like: Madam C. J. Walker and George Washington Carver. If White people oppressed Black people how did they succeed?

No longer dependent on libraries or saving up money to purchase books, I have access to a wealth of information via the Internet. Democrats and supporters of the Democrat ideology did not tell the truth about a lot of history. The more I study the more I discover- the Democrat Party is not the party for Black people.

I became a Registered Republican when I moved to Florida in 1998. I briefly registered as a Conservative but re-registered with the Republicans because I wanted the record to show that this Black female was not a Democrat.

Before I joined the historically Black church, I worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse in a predominantly Black hospital. It was in this hospital, working the night shift, that I sat with a homosexual who quoted Scripture from Genesis to Revelation proving that homosexuality was wrong. This man taught me that his lifestyle was wrong but he did not want to stop because his many lovers were church leaders in large churches that kept him in the lifestyle he enjoyed in exchange for his silence.

No one had to teach me that abortion was and is wrong.

Lifestyle and the freedoms associated with it is why I could not be a Democrat again. The Democrat party promotes homosexuality, same sex unions, transgenderism and even young people changing their gender- this is wrong according to Scripture. Democrats not only support abortion but refuse to speak out against those within their party that endorse abortions when giving birth- THIS IS BLATANT MURDER!  Democrats do not support Christians and their values but want Christians to embrace Islamic ideology. Democrats do not support the rights of citizens as defined by the Constitution of the United States of America. 

Democrats are what we classify as liberal but are actually anarchist when it comes to tolerance. Democrats are Socialist / Communist in government regulations. Democrats are capitalist when it comes to their own lifestyles. But, worst of all, DEMOCRATS ARE ANTI-CHRIST, they reject the foundations of Christian living.

I cannot support a political party that does not submit to biblical truths and constitutional guidelines. AND THAT IS WHY I AM NOT A DEMOCRAT!
