DNC: God doesn't belong in a Godless Party's Platform
WND ^ | Sep 7 2012 | Patrick Buchanan

Pat Buchanan: It's incongruous to have abortion, 'gay' marriage alongside the Creator

The authors of the Democratic platform have inadvertently revealed to the world the sea change that has taken place in that party we once knew.

For the first time – and in the longest Democratic platform in history, 26,000 words – there was not a single mention of God, the Creator, whom Thomas Jefferson himself, father of the party, proclaimed to be the author of our right to life and liberty.

The convention had approved the new platform, but when a firestorm erupted, a panicked Barack Obama hastily ordered “God” reinstated.

But when the amendment was offered to the convention by its chairman, Antonio Villaraigosa, the idea of restoring the name of God to the platform was hooted, jeered and booed by half the delegates on the floor, who three times howled, “No!”

The omission of God is being called an oversight. But the viral reaction to returning God, even when Obama asked that it be done, testifies that this was no accident. God was deleted deliberately.

This process has been under way for a decade. In the 2004 platform, there were seven references to God. In 2008, one.

I am still waiting for obama to say, “denied God, what do you mean I was there”.

It is unfair to say that the DNC is godless. They have their gods and BO is their current prophet.

It was laughable to hear Obama say that, like Lincoln, he has known the experience of being driven to knees in prayer. Against the backdrop of this convention objecting to any mention of God, it was a strange statement from the president.

Ditto, his quoting scripture in his speech. His audience doesn’t believe in God, and has no knowledge of the Scripture in the first place.

I think that a number of ads can be made of the film clips of the convention voting against putting mention of God in the platform.

What are we supposed to think? If we go with the cover story that God was omitted by accident somehow, what are we to conclude when there were so many opposed to restoring mention of God to the platform?????

You're probably right! Did he identify it as scripture? If not, I'm sure the majority of the audience missed that fact!

One of our prominent local pastors once told a story about sitting on an airplane next to a 20-something year old lady, and he tried to share an illustration from the parable of the prodigal. She didn't know anything about it.

I once heard Ed whatshisname from MSNBC refer to the book of Lecitivus. What an ignoramus! He couldn't even be bothered to look it up apparently!

EXCERPT FROM PSALM 50

But God says to the wicked:
“Why bother reciting my decrees
and pretending to obey my covenant?
17 For you refuse my discipline
and treat my words like trash.
18 When you see thieves, you approve of them,
and you spend your time with adulterers.
19 Your mouth is filled with wickedness,
and your tongue is full of lies.
20 You sit around and slander your brother—
your own mother’s son.
21 While you did all this, I remained silent,
and you thought I didn’t care.
But now I will rebuke you,
listing all my charges against you.
22 Repent, all of you who forget me,
or I will tear you apart,
and no one will help you.
23 But giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors me.
If you keep to my path,
I will reveal to you the salvation of God.”

I wonder what the response would have been had they asked if allah should be included?

I need some clarification on the voting. Was the re-inclusion of God in the platform combined with the re-inclusion of Jerusalem as the capital, or were those two separate votes?

A culture that embraces decadence cannot prosper.

And a president and political party who embrace Marxism cannot tolerate the Holy Name in the public square because reference to God might also bring to mind those pesky commandments given to us by our Creator (Thou Shalt Not Steal, Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness), which are the bulwark of the Judeo-Christian economic principles upon which our formerly successful economy was built.

The RNC needs an ad asking Democrats if their godless party has abandoned them!

Just read a partial transcript of 0bama’s speech last night. At the end he stated:

“But, we keep our eyes fixed on that destined horizon, knowing that PROVIDENCE is with us...”

Any takers on a historical figure who didn’t refer to God when talking about his destiny, but instead used the term “Providence?”

This is the worst political disaster in over a hundred years, and the Republicans and conservatives need to jump all over it in any way they can.

It could result in the Democrats losing a dozen *more* seats in the House than they would have otherwise. It might even sway senate races.

Congressman Colonel Allen West was right out of the chute with a campaign ad about this, but this needs to be taken national.

It needs to be everywhere that the Democrats reject God and are the party of atheism. If a candidate is a Democrat after this, and *stays* a Democrat, they are an atheist!

This could destroy the Democrats for a generation. But the public must know about it, and how bad it is.

Because it is awful. Horrible. It’s almost hard to describe how bad this is, or at least can be, politically.

Even preachers, reverends, priests and rabbis who embrace the Democrats must now be confronted with this, and told, “Either you are a Democrat, or you believe in God. Which is it?”

And if they remain a Democrat, they are no longer a holy man, but a fake.

To me this was the MOST disturbing picture from the DNC convention:

This man is a hardcore MUSLIM and his party is the DNC

AND these are the haters of Israel and Christians in the middle east:

AND THESE EVIL FOLKS are the future of SHARIA in AMERICA! We must got rid of them...THEY need to go back to their MUSLIM roots in the middle east! Godless and Jewish hater BASTARDS! I despise MUSLIMS! They refuse to assimilation in America, but are using our Laws to bring about a Muslim transformation in America with their EVIL SATANIC KORAN and Sharia! Don't underestimation the STUPID AMERICAN FOLK!

I am unaware of any in particular; however, “Providnece” has historically implied the guidance of the Deity. I would wager Obama was trying to have it both ways in leaving out “God” but inferencing Him.

Yes, it was very telling and actually completely revealing.
