The democrat party is no longer one party, so to speak. It has become nothing more than a coalition of special-interest groups vying for supremacy.
With their objection to welfare reform and school vouchers, as well as their insistence on affirmative action, they are playing to the minorities. What they never want the minorities to find out, however, is that the ultimate goal is to keep them poor and stupid and, therefore, dependent on democrats for government largesse.
With their stance on abortion, they are playing to women. With their rhetoric on getting out of Iraq now, they are playing to the Far Left. With their refusal to explore, drill, or refine oil, they are playing to the environmentalists. And on and on it goes.
There is another pet constituency that the democrats want to own and that is gays and lesbians. Recently, Barack Obama was heard to say that he believed the Sermon on the Mount spoke to homosexuality. He is, of course, quite wrong, unless he has a translation of the Bible that I have never heard about. He also said that what he read in(to) the Sermon on the Mount was more important than what Paul had to say on the subject in Romans. Again, he is quite wrong.

All scripture, Senator O., all scripture. It is really quite ridiculous for the Left to say that since Jesus never denounced homosexuality, then there's nothing wrong with it. If the only part of the Bible that we're going to pay attention to is the Gospels, then there are 62 other perfectly good books going to waste. Both the Old and New Testaments denounce homosexuality and if all scripture is inspired by God, then what is said in Romans is as important as what is said in the Gospels and, indeed, every other book.
As with the Constitution, though, Democrats are selective. There is no constitutional right to abortion, notwithstanding the opinion of five justices, who used that venerable document as cover for their desire to inflict their own beliefs onto the populace. But for the Left, the "right" to an abortion is inviolable. What about the right to keep and bear arms? Well, hold on now. We need to parse the language of that Amendment. We need to see what our Founding Fathers really meant.
Typical democrat. The Bible is a living document and needs to be made more relevant to today. Let's add what we think should be there, or what we want to be there. Let's construe what we like and misconstrue what we don't. Let's do this all in the name of inclusion. Hallelujah! brother, can I get an amen!
I, for one, think this is quite unwise. Whereas the Founding Fathers are no longer here to chide us for what we may do to their document, there is One whose sense of humor only goes so far. Best not to push it.
