[Howard] Dean, taking time away from pushing for free abortions on demand for anyone (regardless of age, race, circumstance, financial status, or even sex), the removal of all outward displays of Christianity, legalizing drugs, public sanction of gay marriage, and a whole laundry list of liberal causes, appeared on Pat Robertson's TV show. That's the same Pat Robertson who called for religious testing of any and all government officials, the death penalty for abortionists and women who seek them, imprisoning gays, nuking our enemies, and assassinating foreign heads of state.
Dean was on the show to appeal to Robertson's supporters, to convince them that the Democrats were worthy of the Christian Right's support, that they could trust the Godless Secularists and Satan's Helpful Idiots with the reins of power.
Dean's lucky he didn't get burned at the stake.
Indeed.
Read the whole thing.
What I find interesting is that, in order to put themselves in a better position to win elections, Democrats are having to shift to the right in their politics. Or, at least, appear to do so anyway.
While Dean is busy trying to make it appear to religious types that Democrats oppose gay marriage, Democrat Presidential hopefuls like Hillary Clinton are trying to look tough on national security. These things should tell us something about America's political mindset. There is a lot of frustration with Republicans right now, but that shouldn't be indicating to anyone that Americans are trending toward liberalism. Far from it. As I've said time and again, Americans are frustrated with Republicans right now because they haven't been acting like the conservatives they elected.
Democrats know that. Otherwise, why would Howard Dean be appearing on the 700 Club?
