John Kerry would like to express how sorry he is . . . that this became an issue.

"Their idea of religious liberty is banning nativity scenes on public property. Their idea of diversity is censoring 'under God from the Pledge," he said. "Their idea of tolerance is forbidding a moment of silence in the schools. Their idea of a good Catholic is Frances Kissling of Catholics for a Free Choice. Their idea of compassion is hiking taxes. Their idea of helping the poor is giving them directions to a soup kitchen. And their idea of choice is abortion, not school vouchers," Donohue said.

Well stated and worth repeating.

Isn't Kerry really hiring some great people? (sarcasm off)

"Why are Kerry and the DNC imploding on religion? Because too many of the elites running the show are devout secularists who put a premium on freedom from religion. Their idea of religious liberty is banning nativity scenes on public property. Their idea of diversity is censoring 'under God from the Pledge," he said. "Their idea of tolerance is forbidding a moment of silence in the schools. Their idea of a good Catholic is Frances Kissling of Catholics for a Free Choice. Their idea of compassion is hiking taxes. Their idea of helping the poor is giving them directions to a soup kitchen. And their idea of choice is abortion, not school vouchers," Donohue said.

Amen

I thought it was funny when they hired this idiot. The Democrats try to reach out to religious people by hiring some guy who opposes public displays of religion. The guy's whole philosophy is just the opposite of the job he was hired to do.

The Catholic League had also criticized Peterson's previous position as executive director of the Clergy Leadership Network, which claims on the Debate section of its website that 'Taxes provide a way to look out for our neighbors...Slashing taxes denies that!'

So, Rev. Peterson thinks that the Bible should read, "When I was hungry, you taxed the populace to provide me with food stamps, when I was naked, you legislated tax incentives for people to give me their throw away clothing, and when I was sick and imprisoned, you sent your representative to visit me."

DNC RELIGION ADVISOR WANTS "UNDER GOD" OUT OF THE PLEDGE

[cripplecreek]

With the way John Kerry keeps tossing people overboard, eventually somone is going to plant a political bomb on the Kerry campaign scow.

[P-Marlowe]

I think the DNC may have heard the "MISSOURI MESSAGE." 71% in a predominately traditional democratic state.

Maybe someday these traditional democrats will wake up and discover that they are really Republicans. When that happens the Democratic Party will be doomed.

"it was no longer possible for me to do my job effectively."

It was never possible to perform your job effectively if you have issues with the PLedge.

"Why are Kerry and the DNC imploding on religion? Because too many of the elites running the show are devout secularists who put a premium on freedom from religion. Their idea of religious liberty is banning nativity scenes on public property. Their idea of diversity is censoring 'under God from the Pledge," he said."

Amen!

This Christian will no longer be silent while under attack. People have died to defend the gospel, we've no less of a duty to defend our freedom to worship the God of our Choice. Those that seek to limit our right WILL be confronted.

Remember just a few days ago, when Kerry "warned" President Bush to not make homosexual marriage a campaign issue? Gee, I wonder why he did that?

[Mo1]

"Maybe someday these traditional democrats will wake up and discover that they are really Republicans. When that happens the Democratic Party will be doomed."

Remember all those so-called "Reagan Democrats" who became Republicans? We could be seeing movement towards "Bush Democrats" - Christian conservative-minded Democrats seeing that voting Republican (and for Bush) and against same-sex unions is the best moral decision they can make in the next few elections.

[Awestruck]

The GOP needs to be as rampant and effective as the Catholic League.
