Democrats try out faith-based message

Have you ever seen that feminist bumper sticker that says “If you don’t like abortion, don’t have one!”? I saw it on some POS Honda driven by some feminist thing one day. Then I put that together with the hang-up that the covens at Pandagon or Feministe have about rape and came up with the tag line.

This is just as believable as Democrats nominating a certified, award-winning war hero in 2004, in order to prove that they ... what, like war? Now, liberals, who worship at the altar of big government, want to claim religion as theirs. I know I’m convinced.

I wondered about that too, there are three main monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), one large polytheistic religion (Hinduism) and Buddhism which is nontheistic. There are very few Shintoists in America, so I am very curious as to what seven traditions they included.

[wagglebee]

If they do then ask why their faith isn’t bearing out fruit, or would support someone whom believes directly opposite what they say...

That also works well when confronting the Roody Rooters.

[Nextrush]

Liberal religion is humanism dressed up with religious words.

That’s the “faith” Obama is talking about.

An empty suit faith.

Religion is the opium of the people when they mainline it.

[Noumenon]

They give other peoples' fishes fishes instead of teaching to fish.

I remember there was a pretty forgettable vampire movie back in the '80s called "the Lost Boys." If I recall the movie correctly, the vampires were attacking and a soon to be victim held up a crucifix to ward them off. One of the vampires laughed and said, "You have to believe in that for it to work."

I'm paraphrasing a really silly movie, but I think the Dhims will find this to be true.

The Sodomites stole my church (episcopal)here in New Hampshire, and they wonder why church attendance is declining....

[wagglebee]

The sodomites aren’t trying to “steal” the Anglican Church (or any other for that matter), they are trying to completely DESTROY six thousand years of Judeo-Christian tradition.

So, Democrats will be talking faith, while if I’m here on FreeRepublic I’m often called a bigot for discussing the faith issues of our candidates. So pretty soon, the only people who will be able to discuss faith in the political arena will be Hillary and Obama.

What is sad is that there is a real chance that this will work (to an extent).

The GOP leadership is working hard to alienate the conservative religious voters. This anointing of Rudy (who is fading fast) and all the scandals have pushed a number of people to stop supporting the GOP.

It isn’t so much that they will now vote DNC, but that they will stop voting. Neither party is really that interested in the issues that religious Christians care about.

[SuziQ]

They trot their ‘religious message’ out every four years, then ignore or worse, religious folks in between.

[DeweyCA]

The Rev. Dr. Leanne Tigert, a pastoral counselor, ordained minister, theological teacher and member of South Church in Concord, is thrilled to be having these conversations in New Hampshire. The Obama campaign asked Tigert to be involved after hearing her testify in favor of civil unions at the State House, and she accepted in part because she saw Obama as a candidate of hope and inspiration.

This is exactly the kind of "Reverend" that I would expect to support the Democrats. A "Reverend" that doesn't believe the Bible or its teachings. And is she a lesbian?? Dems are such pathetic jokes when it comes to religion.

The Dems playbook has been left lying around since the '04 election, for cryin out loud. It was in black and white how they intended to "Re-Invent" themselves as Christians for '08, and the media didn't call 'em out on it when it's right out in the open....No, thats because the media got their marching orders early on to market this propoganda.
