The Political Left Gets Religion
Agape Press ^ | July 29, 2005 | Matt Friedeman

Posted on 07/29/2005 7:03:14 AM PDT by AliVeritas

The Party of the Left Wing, known best for its tax-increasing, huge-spending, pro-abortion sentiments, looked at the polls in the last election and noticed something big-time. First, seriously religious people vote. Two -- they didn't vote for the Left Wing.

"Fixable!" they thought. And then they schemed. Let's start praying at meetings, mentioning people of faith in our speeches, and allowing Democrats to be pro-life if they really want (insults of the last three decades now to be overlooked).

And a website. Oh, yes, a website is always needed. So, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada has hoisted his religious sentiments onto the worldwide web in hopes that the faithful will come along and join God-appreciating Democrats in vote-harvesting prayer down at the altar.

Check it out. It's called "A Word to the Faithful." There you will see a hand-holding prayer circle, Reid standing by lots of clergy collars, liberal after liberal behind pulpits and that great man of faith -- John F. Kennedy -- looking over Reid's shoulder.

Thank you, Mr. Reid. On this site he shows what we already know: it is really business as usual with the Dems, they just want websurfers to know that pro-abortion, left-leaning politicians can be religious when they want to be, too.

The "bridge-building" aspect might take a little longer.

The left embraces religion like Hitler embraced the Jews.

It's a circle, but, being Dims, they are probably doing something other than praying!

Fortunately, the "faithful" are known by their actions more than by their words -- something the more Liberal Left seems completely unable to grasp.

Wow, the comments from Episcopagan "Bishop" Spong are disgusting. And by the way "Bishop" Spong, you're not Catholic so get you nose out of our business, heretic.

And that is precisely the point.

The "religion" of the Left is based upon their opinions and feelings. Never on the word of God. Indeed, they call basing your faith on the word of God 'biblical idolatry'.

And .. no matter what they do in front of the camera to fool the public .. their voting record is the real testament to their sudden "religion". They may fool a few voters .. but they're not fooling GOD.
