Rule of thumb: you never NEED to use an apostrophe in "its." That means that you can always say "it is" if the apostrophe on your typewriter doesn't work, and while the possessive "its" may be necessary to use in your text, an apostrophe is never necessary.

The wisest leaders of the Dem PartyHeh heh, that's a real knee slapper! Leaders, they are not. And as for the 'wise' part, if they are so wise how is it that they have lost more in the last 12 years (since Slick came on the scene) than any other political party in history?
You keep going dems, we love it......

So if the Dem's start courting the Religous Right with ideas like abortion = murder and gay marriage = wrong, what will the secularists in the GOP do?

A good article, but shooting a goose with a rifle will get you arrested, not elected. More writers should know the difference between a rifle and a shotgun.

Act on your faith, Democrats, wear religion on your sleeve -- that's now the message from Democrats who find it very "troubling" that we have a president who
acts on his faith. "I believe that we have it within us," exhorted Pelosi. "I know that many of the people who are in politics on the Democratic side do so according to the -- the gospel of Matthew and indeed the Bible, but we don't demonstrate it clearly enough and faith is such an important part of the lives of most people in our country. They want to know that we identify with that."Mt 2:12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Mt 2:13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
This is Pelosi's religion from the book of Matthew!! Arlen Spectors too!

LOL!
"There they go.
I must run.
I'm their leader."
Democrats are still able to sway a lot of votes, but the more the votores learn about the Democrat agenda the more they turn them off.
The truth will out...

You can't tear up the Ten Commandments from Court Houses. Take "Under God" out of the Pledge of Alliegance and avow the mass murder of the un-born on one hand.
Then try to make people believe that you are religious on the other.
It don't work that way.
But, then: the Democrats have been sticking to the same ludicrous Game Plan every four years. Doing the same thing over and over again expecting the same result.
Didn't Freud define those actions as Idiocy?

Nancy Pelosi's secularism also took a rare day off after Kerry lost. Now she, too, longs for a little more old-fashioned religion in the public square. She is telling fellow Democrats to be more conspicuous about their faith. "Democrats did not connect well enough with the American people," she told CNN. "Certainly Democrats are faith-filled. Certainly we love our country, and we're very patriotic, Which is a long way of saying Pelosi is going to fly to Ohio, ask for a huntin' license, and go find a goose.
More Hollywood fantasy land.

"What does that mean?"Double meaning. They're beaten. And they're now "praying" -- very conspicuously -- on their knees.

After spending the last few years trying to pry slabs of the Ten Commandments out of public courthouses, remove God from the pledge, deny public money to faith-based charities, and harass the Boy Scouts, it takes a lot of gall for these Democrats to give Kerry a hard time for insufficient religiosity. Has the ACLU been alerted to this new threat yet? Pelosi has given the green light to a new crop of theocratic Democrats.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
With people like Margret Cho, AL Franken and the rest of the Hollywood crew being used as preachers to spew the foul mouthed mantra of the Democratic Party, Nancy Pelosi and John Murtha in the House with Teddy and Joey Biden can expect to lose a lot more than they care to admit.
We cannot reclaim our country with just the Senate and House seats. We must take back our courts, our schools our airways, the newspapers and even our religions. This country has suffered greatly at the hands of the Marxist Socialist Party. The Democratic Party we knew died long ago, they must be spinning in their graves.
Our Vietnam Veteran's suffered at the hands of their own people. To them, the living and the dead -- their Honor MUST be restored. The newly discovered evidence of Senator John Kerry's links with the Viet Cong and North Vietnam government must be investigated and if necessary charges brought to the fore.
Senator Kerry must stand before a court and face the evidence and answer the charges. This cannot be allowed to be glossed over. You may ask why? Because it is there at that point in time that the Treachery can be traced. So we must begin at the beginning. All those linked to the North Vietnamese Communist Government too must be brought to justice.
Confidence must be returned to the American Government at all levels. To achieve that Honesty and Integrity must be actively practiced by all of our Government Officials. No easy task there, but practice these virtues we must. Even though man falls into sin, he must continue to pray and ask for forgiveness, so to must we practice these virtues until they become commonplace. The standard must be set.
To many of us shrugged our duty and turned our heads in the past. Our own neglect, lack of determination and confidence allowed to much damage to be done to our laws, and the American way of life.
We as a people must try to turn back the hands of time, no small task for sure, but we must try. We must return to the values of our fathers and our grandfather's. We must ask ourselves what they would approve of and what would they allow. Where would they draw the line?
If don't the likes of Margret Cho, Al Franken, Eminem and the rest of the sorry lot will become the preachers of the Socialist Democrats like Bill Clinton to set the example for our children.

You know, it used to be that the grammarians and the pedants were those who objected to the aints and the wannas and the gonnas of the everyday speech, but now, as we define illiteracy down, it's those of us who of object to the violations of written English rules, such yours instead of you'res, and its instead of it's. Well, maybe their right, the philistines are, and there are no difference between its and it is! So their!
