New Pew survey: Obama losing ground among Catholic, Jewish, Protestant and even atheist voters

According to a Pew poll released earlier this month even before Barack Obama went public with his all-out war on the Catholic Church White non-Hispanic Catholics started moving away from the Democrats and toward a Republican self-identification.

The quietly released survey, which contains lots of bad news for Democrats, was completed last December by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.

What Pew found was as follows.

The Democrat identification all Catholics (practicing and non- practicing) had in 2008 is gone. Democrat identification has slipped from 53/37 to 48/43 – again this was BEFORE Obama’s declaration of war.

While this general trend should be enough to cause alarm for Democrats, digging a bit deeper brings worse news. Among White non-Hispanic Catholics – who make up a much larger portion of those who will actually vote- the numbers have reversed to a 49/42 Republican advantage. Moreover Democrats are now even upside down among non-practicing Catholics falling to a 47/45 GOP advantage.

It’s not just Catholics who have moved from the Democrats and toward the Republicans.

Pew tells us Democrats have lost and Republicans have gained ground with all religious groups. Among Jewish voters there has been a 9 point shift and among Mormons...

Obama supporters can't spell arrogance.

If he is losing ground in all these key areas, how can the media pull off the myth that his number have rebounded? Why does no one call them on it?

Illegal votes will carry the day for Obama. Feeble attempts to limit or negate its effects will, as usual, be reactive and of little to no effect.

Perhaps the individuals within these "groups" are beginning to see the redistributionist policies of the so-called "progressives" for what they are: tyrannical attempts to impose and enforce their own ideology--a coercive power grab which is, under the United States Constitution, denied them.

Under the guise of "fairness" and "equality" they would deny the freedoms which have brought millions to these shores for over 200 years.

The following quotation states an enduring truth, and sets it in a manner which contrasts the ideology of "socialism" versus that of individual liberty:

"Freedom is the most valuable of all human possessions, next after life itself. It is more valuable, in a manner, than even health. No human agency can secure health; but good laws, justly administered, can and do secure freedom. Freedom, indeed, is almost the only thing that law can secure. Law cannot secure equality, nor can it secure prosperity. In the direction of equality, all that law can do is to secure fair play, which is equality of rights but is not equality of conditions. In the direction of prosperity, all that law can do is to keep the road open. That is the Quintessence of Individualism, and it may fairly challenge comparison with that Quintessence of Socialism we have been discussing. Socialism, disguise it how we may, is the negation of Freedom. That it is so, and that it is also a scheme not capable of producing even material comfort in exchange for the abnegations of Freedom, I think the foregoing considerations amply prove." EDWARD STANLEY ROBERTSON - (From the Liberty Fund Library is "A Plea for Liberty: An Argument Against Socialism and Socialistic Legislation," edited by Thomas Mackay (1849 - 1912), originally published in 1891, Chapter 1, excerpted final paragraph) (Underlining added for emphasis)

If you’ve lost the Zombie Mohammad vote, you’ve lost America.
