~ But I’m standing by my original post. I don’t believe that today’s events really represent any substantive change in the Democrat party’s true ideology.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They’ve been moving away from our founding principles for years, but now that any mention of God has been removed from their party platform, the Democrat party is finally taking a definitive stand and rejecting those tenets altogether.
When America’s most basic beliefs: that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are rights granted to every individual by their Creator, and; that the government exists solely to secure those rights, are discarded, the rest of the Constitution is ultimately rendered meaningless.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Tea Party, at its core, has been primarily about a reaffirmation of our founding documents, restoring America to one nation under God. When Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid denounced the conservative movement in his speech yesterday he was merely echoing his party’s new paradigm: the government giveth and the government taketh away.
Obviously, the Democrats now believe that the founders were a bunch of right-wing radicals. Reid railed that the Tea Party must be stopped…
“… before the United States Senate falls into the hands of extremists and ideologues who leave no room for reason or compromise, who don’t recognize common ground even when they’re standing on it.”
Harry, God is the common ground. Why are you rejecting Him?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
According to the party of the progressives, we all “belong” to the government now:
We might remind anyone who’s still considering voting Democratic that the most prosperous, most productive, most generous nation in world history was the only one founded on the belief that the rights of we the people come from God. Every despotic, totalitarian, murderous regime on the planet has claimed otherwise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I have lived, sir, a long time; and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“A nation of well informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.”

Up-date-11:00 pm:
Apparently realizing that the they jumped the shark on this one, the Dems held a delegate floor vote this afternoon and will now be reinserting “God” – and “Jerusalem is the capital of Israel” – back into the party platform.
It was mere political posturing, they’ve clearly shown their true colors. The tyrrany has already begun.
