On his November 10 Huffington Post, Nicholas Graham and nearly every commenter thereafter, purposefully distorted what Governor Palin said about prayer and the 2012 presidential race. The universal misconstruction of Palin's comments was that she was "praying to become president" in 2012 and that somehow God was speaking directly to her. But reality is she did not say that at all.
Graham offhandedly claimed that Palin said that she was waiting "for a sign from God" as to whether she would run in 2012. Further distorting her comments, he claimed she was "confident God would show the way to the White House." But, once again, she said neither of these things. In fact, what she actually said is rhetoric that is pretty much in accord with what even elected presidents have said at one time or another.
Unfortunately, we have arrived at a time when the default position for Democrats as a party is to despise religion even if individually they consider themselves religious. They consider any expression of religious sentiment whatsoever to be an example of "extremism," and "bigotry" against others. Well, at least the second any Republican expresses a religious sentiment, that is. When anyone from their side does it, they wink, nod and assume that their politician is just lying and merely trying to get elected and doesn't really mean it -- which is still an expression of a hatred for religion when all is said and done...

“Well, I guess it is true. They hate religion to the enth degree.”
COLMES: You’re talking about godless liberals not having values, not being values people. In light of that you’ve been in the news a little bit lately, accused by election supervisor Arthur Anderson of Palm Beach of voting in the wrong district and not answering a registered letter that they sent to. And they say that you might have committed a felony. So could you address those charges and tell us what happened?
COULTER: I think the syphilis has gone to their brains.
THAT is how to talk about Liberals...
Democrats? That's a broad brush. I'd say the far left, aka moonbats despise religion.
I don’t know that it’s any better on the right.
I don’t know how many posts I’ve seen on this site saying the Republicans need to drop the ‘Religious Right’.
Liberals hate any assertion that there is a “right” and a “wrong”, as they are much more comfortable working in shades of gray and making it up as they go along.
They don’t seem to like dissent either
I am hoping God will show Sarah an open door for bigger and better things and close the door of opportunities for the libs that despise the religious beliefs this country was founded on.
Evil naturally hates anything good. They can’t understand Gods love and the power of religion to transform lives. Just wait—when times get bad people will turn back to God. Their are no atheists in the foxholes of Bataan. Just as Russia is going back to God so to will the USA.
They’ve created their own. Its Globull Warming.
Between them and the conservatives with MDS, that's why Romney has no chance to be POTUS.
They seem to be pretty cool with Reverand Wright.
No, they hate religeon when it’s Christian. Other religeons, including worship of government, they are fine with.
I don’t know if I would rather see a picture of Helen Thomas instead...
Democrats have no problem with humanism.
My sense of it was that conservatives were nervous about Romney more based on some of the positions he took as MA governor rather than his Mormonism. I think if he can get consevatives to trust him on the basis of conservative issues, then they will generally disregard his religeous affiliation, and he could be a viable candidate in 2012.
Stoning a raped teenager to death is OK. Mandatory, in fact. Beheading a woman is OK. Killing a baby is mandatory and approved.
Carrying a cross is a “hate crime” however.
It is ONLY the religious traditions and heritage of the Roman Catholic, Mormon, and Christian religions that are “verboten” and hate-filled.
Lately I have more and more trouble distinguishing between the two. When Zell Miller retired, it marked a time for me that the very last conservative democrat existed.
Didn’t you get the the Southern Poverty Law Center Memo?
Christian Churches are hotbeds of HATE, and Christians are now considered a HATE GROUP. Persecute them as you wish, send them in to the arena with lions, etc., they matter not.
Nicolae Carpathia/Hussein Obama is now in charge, and the evil Christians will be “Dealt” with....
The question is do we stand aside or help them out.
They love Islam.
They are so full of self-loathing that they aren't capable of love. And as is so often the case, people who hate themselves turn their vitriole upon those that most love them.
Matthew 24:7-12
7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9”Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,
They love anything that is totalitarian & rules by compulsion.
Republican Democracy = freedom of choice
Christianity = freedom of choice
Islam not= freedom
Totalitarianism not= Freedom
Totalitarianism = Communism/Marxism/Liberalism
Problem, how do we reverse voting to suspend Freedom in the Nov. 4th election?
Depends on which religion. The only one they truly despise is Christianity.
To be completely fair, the Democrats don’t hate all religions. Quite the contrary, they have a crush on Islam.
Yes.
Liberals clinically mad an item on world net daily has a story about it something we knew all the time.
they despise Christianity beyond the good works only type
they love any religion which can usurp Christianity
Exactly! No one can tell me what to do; just do what feels good; make yourself happy so you can make others happy. The only problem is that they never get past making themselves happy. They are destroying those around them with a lack of standards and morals. Like obama who believes that sin is to go against his own values. How scary when we start determining our own rules as to what’s right and what’s wrong.
Ah, good post. May God strengthen His own to stand strong in our Lord Jesus Christ!
To be completely fair, the Democrats don’t hate all religions. Quite the contrary, they have a crush on Islam.
Yeah the religion that serves their father satan. The father of lies and a murderer from the beginning. The one who comes to kill steel and destroy. They hate the true living God. The one who comes to give life abundantly, and to restore all things.
