What the DemonRats don't understand is when you disavow God when you are passing the laws for the land you are going to turn off the people who feel that their faith should guide the path they follow. Look at abortion. A liberal, out-of-touch court somehow saw it as being allowed by the Constitution. That decision has so divided this country and the two parties that there probably is no reconciliation possible. I thought the President hit the nail on the head when asked in the third debate about gay marriage. He believed it should be a constitutional amendment because that put the decision in the hands of the people and not at the whim of some radical court judge. The Rats don't understand that this government is of the people, by the people, for the people and not one person will legislate what will be the law for 300,000,000 people. If they had done it constitutionally on the abortion issue, the divide may not be so great because the people would have made the choice and not a liberal court.
They desperately do not want the people to decide these issues. They can control the courts, sometimes through corruption but it is very hard to totally control "the people."
