“There are some census takers even I would refuse to eat.”

Originally, I intended to devote my commentary to tributes to Benjamin Hooks and to Dorothy Height, admired courageous civil rights leaders who died this past week. Each exemplified the best of efforts aimed at helping our nation move closer to a realization of the full promise of our Constitution. Dr. Height had marched against lynching as a teenager. As she developed as an activist, her vision of freedom was as large as all women, as well as all African Americans. She understood that in this democracy there should be no boundaries around freedom or hierarchies of privilege.
So my plans for today’s commentary changed. Frankly, following the news this past week gave me the sensation of watching a car wreck while holding my breath in anticipation of learning how many people had been, or would be found, injured by the crash.
Enter Sarah Palin, the driver at the wheel of a political vehicle that has catapulted out of control. Obviously Sarah Palin does not know enough about the road of democracy or the rules for driving it.

Do I ditect jealousy (that this author has directed toward Sarah Palin)?
More PDS from some leftist who hopes to up the hits to his website with a Palin diatribe.
Yep, pure jealousy..reminds me of high school. Perhaps these fools need to be told they are not in the 10th grade anymore
Interfaith Alliance is a liberal group.....they had programs on Air America,....
Interfaith Alliance is a “Social Justice” leftist religious group....enough said
They never grew up. Libs never really do.
But instead you reverted to your natural state and made petty, nasty, envious comments about someone that are based on your own insecurities rather than reality.
“Religion Dispatches is a daily online magazine dedicated to the analysis and understanding of religious forces in the world today, highlighting a diversity of progressive voices and aimed at broadening and advancing the public conversation.”

Frightened people looking for a quick fix for their fears and alleviation of their anxieties are being hurt by a distorted version of American history and a perverted vision of the future. This past week in Louisville, Kentucky, the former governor of Alaska told a crowd, in response to a federal court ruling that a government celebrated National Day of Prayer was unconstitutional, that “America needs to get back to its Christian roots.”
What a "tool" for Obama, this writer is ... LOL ...
They behave like children, heck they behave worse then children. I know some kids who are more mature then libs..well, these fools aren’t liberals, they are progressives..they have come out of the woodwork now since Obama was elected, they think its Ok to come out and play now
Barf Alert on this liberal twit?
Q: Whaddya get when you cross a member of the religious left with a census taker?
A: Someone who goes door-to-door, but doesn’t know why.
“There are some census takers even I would refuse to eat.”
We’re not a democracy ... we’re a representative republic ...
“Many of them were deists, but few of them were Christians by Palin’s narrow evangelical definition. However, the larger truth is that these were people, regardless of their religious identity, who had witnessed the abuse and violence that emerge when institutions of religion and government became entangled.”
Whenever I hear that many were deists, the warning bells go off. A narrow definition of Christianity - wow, explain that.
The big point is this - the founders were grounded in Biblical principles and established the nation based on the truths of the Bible. God’s law is good for mankind. Take that away and you have — the democratic party.
Depart from Me. I never knew you.
