Exclusive: Democrats Drop "God" From Party Platform
CBN/Brody File ^ | September 4, 2012 | David Brody

Posted on 09/04/2012 11:38:03 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

Guess what? God’s name has been removed from the Democratic National Committee platform.

This is the paragraph that was in the 2008 platform:

“We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential.”

Now the words “God-given” have been removed. The paragraph has been restructured to say this:

“We gather to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth – the simple principle that in America, hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us.”

The Brody File has calls into DNC to explain why God’s name has been dropped from the platform. Some critics will suggest that when you have planks in your platform that support abortion rights and gay marriage then it's no wonder that God's name would be dropped as well.

So now it’s official: The Democrat party truly is Godless.

How could ANY Christian or Catholic (which includes MOST Hispanics) be a Democrat? Voting ‘Democrat’ is blasphemous.

Makes sense....Obama recites the preamble to the Declaration of Independence with the words “by our Creator” omitted.

They don’t like the idea of ‘God-given rights’ since they believe that ‘Government’ gives rights......

What do you want to bet that the Great Teacher, our Heavenly Father, is going to teach the Obama crowd an important lesson?

They have deserted God for a gay Allah that approves of slaughtering infidel children in the womb. Why would anyone expect Democrats to honor a God who disagrees with everything they stand for? They hate God.

It was dropped because of a cease and desist order from the Man Upstairs.

Would be interesting to tally the number of times the word ‘God’ is said throughout this convention, versus the Republican’s convention.

They left God long ago. They’re just now filing the papers.

For sure He will .... the question is, will we see it before this happens ...

"Just as the weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, and they will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let anyone with ears listen!"

Amen to that!

Wouldn’t want to be anywhere near that convention, that’s fer sure! He used fire from the sky to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah; He used water to flood the earth in the days of Noah; He split the Red Sea to allow Moses to lead His people across and then let the waters flow onto Pharaoh and his army...He who is the Alpha and the Omega definitely can deal with the dummy dems...

“How could ANY Christian or Catholic (which includes MOST Hispanics) be a Democrat? ...

Add: ...scientist, engineer, anyone having a good high school education (e.g., not public schooled), military...”

A democrat is an enemy.

A sleezy, ill-educated, piece of Obamastuff enemy.

Period.
