Election Reinforces U.S. Religious Divide (voters impelled by moral issues---snubbed Iraq war)

When respondents were asked to pick the one issue that mattered most in choosing a president, "moral values" ranked first at 22 percent, surpassing the economy (20 percent), terrorism (19 percent) and Iraq (15 percent).

Beware the "Uriah Heeps" out there planning, plotting, ingratiating their way into conservatives' confidence.

They would manhandle our conservative victory----to dilute the mandate conferred by proto-conservatives----for their own self-serving agendas.

The Uriah Heeps could care less for the rights of the unborn, and the restoration of conservative values to our beleagured Nation, and the rest of proto-conservative issues that drove millions of Christians to the polls.

The agenda-laden Uriahs, the elliptical thinkers---lurk in the shadows-----plotting ways to take credit for conservative victories.

It ain't gonna happen.

Any mucking up of our hard-won conservative victory will be met with fierce resistance.

Moral issues were Election 2004's key issues, and moral issues alone will set the agenda.

We will not stand by silently while the Uriahs do their Everything-For-Us-Nothing-For-You act.

The left, he and others argue, has to show the religious basis for its policy positions

Moloch lapel pins?

Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment

Is that like anti-molester child protection laws?
Or anti-killer murder prohibitions?

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Beware the "Uriah Heeps" out there planning, plotting, ingratiating their way into conservatives' confidence.

You'll know them by the size of their Bibles.

I've yet to hear mention of the veteran vote. There are millions of vets out there as well as millions of veterans families, and I would guess 75-80% voted against Kerry. You are talking a huge vote. You could almost ignore the draft dodger, but Kerry was a filthy traitor.

The Rev. Barry Lynn of Americans United for Separation of Church and State put it more starkly. "The culture war may go nuclear," he said, as "millions of Americans oppose the theocratic agenda of the Religious Right."

The anti-Rev. Barry Lynn admits that it is the secularists who split the culture and will go on the offensive against Christians and Jews. The Left is always the aggressor.

Excellent point. Maybe the Swifties have data on this? Try a search. And post whatever you come up with. And our prayers and thanks to you and yours for all your sacrifices.

Heheh.....Good man.

I see that subtlety is not wasted on you.

[GeronL]

LOL. Democrat Party turns to immorality, Lucifer

[Liz]

The Left is always the aggressor.

(Sniffle) But, but the Left is so "tolerant and compassionate" (sob).

[drt1]

You are right. I've examined numerous exit polls and none have a breakdown by Vet - NonVet status. Haven't seen it discussed on MSM either. Anyplace to get this data?

Note to ABC

John Kerry is NOT a Catholic. Kerry was posing as a Catholic.

Catholics believe in the 10 Commandments and the 7 Sacraments.

This means they are opposed to killing except in self-defense. Abortion, stem-cell research, and killing a 'fleeing' unarmed teen in Vietnam are against the religion.

Marriage is between a man and a women.

While Kerry told us he did not personally believe in abortion, he also said he 'approved' it for others.

While Kerry said he believed marriage was between a man and a woman, he said he approved same sex marriage for others.

He was talking out two sides of his mouth. People recognized that despite the efforts of educators to dumb them down.

The election shows that Democrats in 2008 "are going to have to say they are religiously attuned to America and make it stick and make it authentic,"

Well, that wouldn't be Hillary then in 2008! LOL LOL

[Liz]

Man, oh man, you are insightful. LOL.

[Liz]

Nice, very nice deconstruction.

[EBH]

"The election shows that Democrats in 2008 "are going to have to say they are religiously attuned to America and make it stick and make it authentic," said Michael Cromartie, an expert on evangelicalism at the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center. "All future political consultants are going to have to understand religious sensibilities as part of the resume."

I see they still don't really get it. It's about right and wrong. No matter what the left wants to say about it being religion, it really comes down to having base in morality.

[GeronL]

It is going to be hilarious seeing Democrats praising the almighty everyday in the 2008 campaigns.

[blondee123]

Just like always, they think they can just "make it up" and see if the sheeple will believe them! I think this election proved the sheeple do not believe their manufactured lies!

[NYer]

Democrat John Kerry drew 62 percent of Americans who never attend worship, but they only accounted for 14 percent of voters.

Perhaps it is still too early in the morning to grasp, but what do these numbers represent? 14% of voters = the 62% who never attend worship services ... huh?

Catholic Ping - please freepmail me if you want on/off this list
