David Limbaugh: The Democratic Party's Christian Problem
CNS ^ | July 9; 2018 | David Limbaugh

Posted on 07/09/2018 9:22:33 AM PDT by GonzoII

People on the left are outraged when you question their patriotism, their dedication to the nation as founded and their respect for the Constitution as originally written, but they continually vindicate our concerns.

The most recent example is the left's unhinged mania at Judge Amy Coney Barrett's inclusion on President Trump's list of potential Supreme Court appointees. In times of perceived crisis — and this is certainly one of those times for leftists — they show their colors, and you can color them militantly opposed to Barrett, in large part because of her Catholicism. And guess what else. Rumor is that she frequents a Bible study, as well.

Forget Barrett's distinguished career and formidable legal credentials. The leftist media went bonkers, unapologetically displaying their bigotry when it comes to Christians. One commentator pointed out that Barrett "went to Notre Dame. She is very Catholic." Get that? She's not only an evil Catholic; she's very much a Catholic.

Another pundit said, "It's kind of a dubious position, but I'm sure that if (Trump) does pick a woman, she'll be known as the Aunt Lydia of the Supreme Court" — a derogatory reference to the villainous character in the popular show "The Handmaid's Tale." This is reminiscent of Dianne Feinstein's astounding alarm, expressed during Barrett's appellate court confirmation hearing in the Senate, that Barrett's Catholic "dogma lives loudly within" her.

dogma lives loudly within her

Marxist dogma = good; Christian dogma = bad . . .

at least in the eyes of the Commie Rat Party

I know a lot of Leftists who see the First Amendment as a constitutional protection FROM religion. If you are some crazy Christian wacko (they say), you should be banned from government service. Your private beliefs skew your thinking, so go dig ditches or something, you shouldn’t hold office.

The Democrats hate Christians, they hate normal people, and they hate any and all manner of virtuous qualities of character.

They are contemptible and they are PROUD of it.

This is not news.

They don’t seem to understand that anti-religious dogma is also unconstitutional.

I'm glad the Dem elites are finally telling the truth about their agenda, which is: Anti-American and Anti-Christian.

Heck, I witnessed a dyed in the wool, gonna die a Dem voter, support Trump because they no longer fit in with the nastiness of their new party.

I hope to see more good Americans turn away from this garbage, now that it's no longer hidden from them.

FTA: It's not just Obama but the Democratic Party at large. Is its frequent disrespect for the God of the Bible, Christian home-schoolers and the constitutionally protected religious liberty of Christians indicative of something or just a matter of my imagination? How about Democrats' hostility to voluntary prayer in public schools, their selective excising of Christian history from public school textbooks, their allergy to Christian-themed hymns in public schools or their dislike of Christmas displays in the public square? How about leftist Hollywood's routine depiction of Christians as fanatical lunatics? Remember when the Democratic National Committee denounced God in three votes and took the word and concept of God out of the party platform at the 2012 convention?

As examples of Democrat hostility to Christianity, he could also add that Hillary and Obama spoke about "freedom of worship", but not about "freedom of religion." "Freedom of worship" effectively confines Christians' freedom to within church buildings. "Freedom of religion" means the ability to practice your faith outside the confines of the church. That is what the Founding Fathers were talking about, but Dems don't want Christians to have the freedom to practice their beliefs/morality, because Dems are opposed to Christian morality (eg. abortion, gay marriage, etc).

Nothing personal regarding Catholics, but I’ve seen too much Leftist political crap from them to ever trust them at that level. Between doing the dirty work of trafficking Illegals for Obama, the crap from the Pope, and the crap they did (and are probably doing) to prop up Communists in Central America, NO THANKS. Give me an Evangelical, please...abortion is NOT the only issue that the Supreme Court deals with.

Limbaugh's heading repeats an oft-used description of the Democrat Party--calling it the "Democratic" Party.

We should note that there is nothing about the current iteration of that Party which qualifies for the "Democratic" label! Instead, its Progressive/Liberal and totalitarian ideology demands conformity and group=think. Call it Democrat--not Democratic!

No hate on the left. Love trumps hate. or so they say.

already too many catholics and jews on the court.

We need more protestants on the court to fairly represent the makeup of our country. I have nothing against Jews and Catholics, but having a court made up entire of them is wrong.

There is more to diversity than skin color or sex.

Oh,stop it.

Check out the court for approximately the first 150 years of it’s existence.

If it wasn’t for Protestants there would have never been a USA.
