I’m looking forward to the Democratic Party’s platform for 2020.
Will they finally eliminate the word God out of it all together? They have flirted with the idea in the past.
The inept Mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa, mentioned that God and Jerusalem had been re-added to the Democratic platform and that was met with a chorus of boos. Priceless.
Lot wasn’t a native of Sodom, although his wife was. The men of Sodom even recognized Lot as an outsider (Genesis 19:9).
Also, the righteousness of Lot’s daughters was shaky at best, given how Moab and Benammi were conceived.

Religious liberty is a major threat to their drive for absolute power. There is a reason why the societies they admire so much, such as Red China, do not tolerate it.
I’m an Atheist, and I will never vote for a Democrat. I do not share their values, and I never will. I cannot get behind their push of Marxism on the public, specifically our youth, and the intent to remove our ability to make our own choices about our lives. Whether it is under the guise of “affordable health care” or “protecting our planet”, I won’t ever support a candidate who wants to limit my choices and freedom.
I cannot support this sick wave of anti-male feminism, and this odd obsession with gender. All but a couple of my friends are men, and I cannot abide the way that women treat men in public, and the threats they may face if they call someone by the “incorrect” pronoun. I also fear how my friends’ sons will be treated when they grow up into young men, because I don’t foresee this issue resolving itself over time. I equally fear for one of their sons who is Autistic, and have concern for how someone may try to make him believe he is someone (or something) other than an American boy. It’s happened to others.
I definitely will not support unrestricted abortion. In my opinion, unless both lives will imminently be lost as a result of a (non-psych) health issue caused by the pregnancy, there is no acceptable circumstance for an abortion. Live birth via C-section should be attempted first, provided that the mother can safely be operated on. Women also need to start taking some responsibility for their choices, and learn that instant gratification has consequences.
I also can’t support any hostility towards Judeo-Christian values. I may not be a believer, but I have no hatred towards the faithful or the religion they practice. It is not my place to try to force another into a position which is against their faith, and I will defend one’s right to worship in the same way I would defend my right to not worship. My family is Catholic, as is my husband’s family. I will not permit harm to come to them or any others.
I damn well cannot abide the threats to the Second Amendment. Period.
The list goes on, but I’ll leave it there.
The Anti-Religion party.
This rhetoric from the Democrats isn’t embracing the “non” religious but rather the anti-religious.
Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
I wish everyone would stop calling it the Democratic Party. There is nothing democratic about the RAT-commie party. It’s the party of the democRATs.
“(I)t is very clear that in fundamental theory, socialism and democracy are almost—if not quite—one and the same. They both rest at bottom upon the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals.”If socialism and democracy are “one and the same” as Wilson put it, then that is exactly what they are about and democracy is a tool of totalitarianism.
— Woodrow Wilson
“[T]he first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the level of ruling class to win the battle of democracy.”
— Communist Manifesto, chapter 2
“What will be the course of this revolution? Above all, it will establish a democratic constitution, and through this, the direct or indirect dominance of the proletariat. […] In America, where a democratic constitution has already been established, the communists must make the common cause with the party which will turn this constitution against the bourgeoisie and use it in the interests of the proletariat—that is, with the agrarian National Reformers.”
— The Principles of Communism
Despotism . . . appears to me peculiarly to be dreaded in democratic ages. I should have loved freedom, I believe, at all times, but in the time in which we live I am ready to worship it.That's quoted in Kheuhnelt-Leddihn's Liberty or Equality where there is found this nugget: "Torn between the demand for liberty and the desire to be led, the masses are prone to make a compromise by electing masters who give them the illusion that they are ruled by 'themselves' after all."
