“Whats totally idiotic, is that she honestly believes they can change the Democratic party from within. And I told her good luck with that, its worked out well for you so far.
The idea that cultural conservatives like pro-life Catholics, can change the Democrat Party from within made a bit of sense in the 1970’s and 1960’s when the Roe vs Wade Supreme Court ruling opened the spigots to abortion on demand. By the end of the Reagan administration it ought to have become clear to these people that such a concept was a pipedream.
The Democrat party literally made a pact with the devil at some time in the 1960’s and drifted rapidly into a counter-cultural, anti-Christian party, taken over by secularists, atheists, socialists and communists. For people who are apolitical, they are ‘clinging to their Democratic heritage’ at the expense of their Christian roots. Because they are lazy politically, they really are unaware of their culpability in the mess that our country is in.
Correction - I meant to write the Democrat party during the 1970’s and 1980’s (not 1960’s), continued drifting to more and more socialism and bigger government.
