Are the dems pandering again, or have they really found religion?

Here’s something to ponder:

Public Approves of Faith in Politics

There are two things about this that bother me immensely.

First off, since when is the liberal left interested in religion unless they’re just trying to pander to a base of people who they’re seeking the vote from? I mean, after all, what part of the democratic platform works well with religious people? Are the dems willing to stand before the Christians and tell them how abortions and evolution have nothing to do with religion?

Second off, would a story like this even have been printed if the democrats weren’t involved? After all, isn’t the usual rhetoric from the left that church and state should remain separated? If the democratic candidates weren’t out there trying to appease the religious crowd, would there have been a story at all?

It’s all very hypocritical. I’m not even religious and I’m still irked by the whole thing. If any of these democratic candidates could stick to their guns without constantly flip-flopping all over the place while they try to appeal to every voting base out there, I might have speck of respect fore them...Well, maybe anyway.

When you’ve got a nation as overwhelmingly spiritual as America is you simply cannot deny that faith will find it’s way into politics and government.

It happens, and Americans can’t deny who they are.


When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
