The Democratic Party is the party preferred by atheists and secular humanists. Liberals
are opposed to Christianity (more than any other religion) because it does not permit a
society where anything goes. Liberals would love to see religion removed
from American society, because with God out of the way, everything would be
permissible.
Liberals, in close cooperation with
the ACLU, vigorously
oppose the display of the Ten Commandments on public property, prayer
in public schools, prayer in any public building or ceremony, or any other religious
observance in public.
To convince people that religion is a bad thing, liberal Democrats try
to have Americans believe that Christians are secretly plotting to establish
a Christian theocracy in America. Of course
that's a vicious canard, but truth doesn't seem to matter to the typical liberal.
I would laugh out loud if this were not so tragic.
Abortion Is a 'God-Given Right,' Liberal Leader
Declares. Rev. Carlton Veazey, president and CEO of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive
Choice, told a small crowd of pro-abortion protesters that women have a "God-given right" to abortion and
that opposition from pro-life congressmen and religious leaders would never take it away.
Liberal
Neutrality: Anyone who believes what the average American believed half
a century ago — about the role of the courts, abortion, sexual morality, and of course
Jesus Christ — is now damned as a "bigot" or "extremist" by liberal opinion.
What's
next for liberalism? The cultural liberalism that emerged from the
convulsions of the 1960s drove the liberal faith out of the mainstream. Its
fundamental value is that society should have no fundamental values, except for a
pervasive relativism that sees all values as equal. Part of the package was a
militant secularism, pitched against religion, the chief source of fundamental values.
Framing
blogs: Last year the very smart political scientists Louis Bolce and
Gerald De Maio completely unwrapped the orthodox newsroom view of religion and
politics. … [They] believe newsrooms have been partisan in the debate for many
years, partly because so many reporters are Democrats who do not go to church and do
not fully understand that secularism is basically an aggressive quasi religion
now central to the core constituency of the Democratic Party.
Taliban
west? Secularits are in a state of panic about the role of evangelical
Christians in the reelection of George Bush. They actually believe that American
democracy is in danger, that we are on the verge of becoming a theocracy. "Putting
God in the public square runs the risk of turning our democracy into a theocracy," frets
DeWayne Wickham in USA Today. Leonard Pitts of The Miami Herald warns darkly of "the
soldiers of the new American theocracy who want to force 'creation science' on the schools."
Note: Most liberals don't actually believe we're headed toward a Christian
theocracy, but it is to their advantage to spread such a story. Of course there are a few
people whose lifestyles really would suffer under a Christian theocracy, and they're
probably genuinely afraid.
We all
have faith in something. The Democratic gospel preaches an all-encompassing
faith that politics and government will solve our personal problems. Not earning
enough money? Don't have a high-school diploma? Not happy with your insurance
policy or retirement plan? Is your daughter pregnant? Feel in general that
your life is out of control? Turn to President, Senator or Congressman Democrat
and get it solved.
Why Liberals Hate Religion: Liberals
seem to have a tough time deciphering certain portions of the writings of our Founding Fathers.
Specifically, the Bill of Rights really seems to trip them up.
Robert
Reich: God is worse than terrorism. Clinton's labor secretary has problem
with those who believe in higher authority. Robert Reich, the former U.S. labor
secretary under President Bill Clinton, believes people who follow God pose a more
significant threat to the modern world than terrorists do.
Where
will the dems go? [Senator Paul Wellstone's] Minnesota memorial [showed] us the
religious Left: They don't believe in God; they believe in politics. The
Democratic Party is their church, Wellstone their latest martyr, and the
campaign a crusade.
Seven
Places Where politics Doesn't Belong. [#2] Funerals: Speaking of respect, how did we
get to the point where funerals have become about politics? [Heck], at Paul Wellstone's memorial service
they did everything short of a balloon drop. ... Most people die and are quickly forgotten. At least
give them a decent send-off without cheapening their lives by corrupting their funerals with petty politics.
Just
Say Merry Christmas. Perhaps nothing exposes the gap between secular liberals
and conservative Christians as much as Christmas. It may also help explain why the
Democrat Party, which has been taken over by a small, but powerful cadre of secular
liberals, is slipping into political oblivion. Even though practically the
whole country is adorned with Christmas decorations, all across America secular
liberals are doing all that they can to suppress the public acknowledgment of Christmas.
God
and Politics: Partisan media stalwart Helen Thomas is just the latest
in a long line of commentators to argue that religion and politics don't mix. Like
the others, she is woefully misguided.
It's time
for American Jews to open their eyes. It was Rep. Jim Moran, a Democrat
from Virginia, who claimed that a Jewish cabal stood behind the Iraq war. It was
former Rep. Cynthia McKinney, a Democrat from Georgia, who took money from anti-American
and anti-Israeli terrorist supporters during her candidacy for Congress. It was
Vermont's Howard Dean, a Democrat, who labeled Hamas members "soldiers." It was
Sen. Robert Byrd, a Democrat from West Virginia, who was once Grand Kleagle in the
Ku Klux Klan. It was Sen. Ernest Hollings, a Democrat from South Carolina, who
blamed the Iraq war on pro-Israeli interests.
Know Who Your Friends
Are. As an American Jew, one who naively voted Democratic up until 9/11, but now an unabashed
Bush and War on Terror supporter, I have seen the proverbial light. Sadly, precious few others of
my ilk have. I can count on one hand the number of Republican Jews I have in my family or close
friend base and can count on two hands the number of Bush supporting Jews I know.
One Nation Under God
or One Nation Under Man. Polling data shows that many who embrace the
liberal policies of the Democratic Party are less religious than those who support
the pro-life, traditional marriage policies of Republicans. This divide first
became apparent with the 2000 election. Research notes that those who attended
religious services more than once a week supported Bush by a margin of 2 to 1
while those who never attended religious services supported Gore by the same margin.
Abortion: An indispensable component of the Democratic platform.
