"Democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal, rather than religion-specific, values. It requires that their proposals be subject to argument, and amenable to reason. I may be opposed to abortion for religious reasons, but if I seek to pass a law banning the practice, I cannot simply point to the teachings of my church or evoke God’s will. Now this is going to be difficult for some who believe in the inerrancy of the Bible, as many evangelicals do. But in a pluralistic democracy, we have no choice. Politics depends on our ability to persuade each other of common aims based on a common reality. It involves the compromise, the art of what’s possible. At some fundamental level, religion does not allow for compromise. It’s the art of the impossible." - Barack Hussein Obama

Exactly the slant and leaning you are talking about my friend...and Hussein is its most recent incarnation.

Well, here’s another voice from the past that these leftist monsters need to hear - and fear:

“I fear we have awakened a sleeping Giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.”

Admiral Isokoru Yamamoto
