It’s not called the Democratic sacrament for nothing, you know. After DNC chair Tom Perez declared abortion rights an issue of potential excommunication for Democrats after Bernie Sanders endorsed a pro-life Democrat from their Unity Tour. CNN’s Dana Bash asked Sen. Dick Durbin whether he agrees with Perez and the pro-abortion lobby represented by NARAL, or whether Democrats will back pro-life candidates in the future. Durbin replied that Democrats can think however they want … as long as they support abortion in public, that is:

because we were lukewarm about God

"Were"???

Please try to convince me that has changed.

You'll be doing so in a world where supposed "conservatives" on a supposedly "conservative" website have no objection to blatant support for sodomy, abortion, gross sexual misconduct by persons in positions of authority, and government control of old-age pensions and medical care. Among other evils.

I’m just too damned olde I guess. Ha. (”Beats the alternative ,,,” ha!) and anyway the D party bosses didn’t try to purge the party to leave it only with pro- abortionists. If anything, the D. Bosses have become even more doctrinaire — narrowly leftist and more and more extremely left , too. Not good

Yes ... the evil bastards are really taking their party platform seriously. They’re following in the footsteps National Socialists and International Communists the world over. “Democrat Party” is just English for “Politburo” ...

It is as you say. Very dangerous people have seized control of the D party machine. Very dangerous.

So the Democrat leadership doesn’t have to listen to its voters.

They must march in goose-step together and purify their thoughts to the party line. Or Else!

You are right and this is what prompted me to leave the Democrat party. I remember seeing the Democrat convention in the 1970’s when they put abortion on their platform. I also remember when Governor Casey of Pennsylvania, who was a pro-life Democrat was not allowed to speak at that convention because of his pro-life views. That was 40 years ago and they have stubbornly held on to their support of abortion. However they play games of deceit with people. Abortion is on their platform but Democrat politicians do not usually bring it up when they are campaigning.

They are worse than incompetent, they are morally bankrupt. They sold their souls to the planned parenthood money a long time ago.

Durbin was the little turd who compared the guards at Guantanamo to Nazis.
