The past two presidential elections taught the losing Democrats a couple of political lessons. They learned that attacks on guns and defense of abortion are no longer winning issues for them, and this new awakening is reflected in their 2008 party platform adopted in Denver.
The platform grudgingly states, "We will preserve Americans' Second Amendment right to own and use firearms." The powers-that-be in the Democratic Party have learned to tolerate a few pro-gun candidates.
Feminist pressure won't let the Democrats recede from their "proudly" stated 2004 platform position that "abortion should be safe, legal and rare." This year's platform is just as pro-abortion, but uses slightly softer words, stating that the Democrats support "a woman's ability to make her own life choices and obtain reproductive health care, including birth control" (throughout nine months and with taxpayers' money, of course).
Proclaiming that "we will end the Bush administration's war on science," the Democratic platform promises to "lift the current administration's ban on using federal funding for embryonic stem cells." The genuinely pro-life Republican platform calls for "a ban on human cloning and a ban on the creation of or experimentation on human embryos for research purposes."

The left will never give up until they have total power at any cost. Sometime at or before that point, they will provoke Civil War II.
By all means, they should amend that platform to loudly and proudly stand by their principals (sic). They should be willing to lose an election rather than win a war, and fight to the last man for a woman’s right to chose (to kill babies in the womb), and make it such a hassle to own guns legally that the convicted felons they want to re-enfranchise even while they’re in jail won’t have such a hard time making ends meet while they’re out next time. Ti-ti-tax ti-ti-tax ti-ti-tax and spend.Ti-ti-tax ti-ti-tax titi-tax and spend. Hi-ho Sovereignty! AWAAAAY!
Meaning they really see the U.S. as a entity that should come to an end.

What a great opportunity to plug my book: United America: 2014, about a second civil war. Buy it now!
As far as I am concerned voter registration on election day should be against the law in every State. If they can’t register at least 6 month before an election, they have no business voting
