My dream is for the Democrat party to basically become Lou Dobbs. Then my side could lose an election and I wouldn’t be afraid for the Republic.

Isn’t that the truth. Classical Western liberalism (rather than Marxist postmodernist progressivism) is the way it used to be, and it how it should be. The left wing of the Dem party has become the antithesis of its former self. They are the people they used to warn us against.

Life was better when democrats resembled my grandfather, and Mr. Dobbs, and I might even vote dem once in a while.

Amen. Comments were much appreciated.

Forgive the rant, but contrary to popular belief most Atheists have the same values and self-proclaimed Christians.

Only Atheists in countries with a Judeo-Christian cultural heritage. Atheists, bereft as they are of any transcendent moral authority, are cultural and moral parasites.

I wonder what the ratio is for charitable giving on a percentage basis between Christians and Atheists, I bet Christians give a lot more.

Wasn’t there a poll/study/thing that came out a few months back contrasting the amount of charitable giving for self-identifying Republicans and Democrats? Those numbers should give you a rough idea.

Please get a copy of Arthur Brook’s “Who Really Cares?”.

Then come back here to discuss things.

By the way, there is nothing wrong with getting first to the car with my family after Mass.

In fact, one of my fondest memories of Mass with my family is when my Dad would smile at us as the six of us waited for the priest to walk out of the church during recessional. It was so fun to get ready like an Olympic sprinter and as soon as the priest passed us we’d dart to the exit and race for the car. We would then head to breakfast or home or to an afterchurch event. Sometimes we’d race to be the first to shake the priest’s hand on the way out. It was pretty fun for me and my two brothers.

I’m gonna race my boy to the car some day. He’s too little to negotiate safely a parking lot on his own.

Dobbs finished by asking the audience to give life to morality

Now that’s worth a Hallelujah chorus.

He cast the media’s attitude as a form of bigotry against believers.

Members Tools of media are bigoted? What a terrible shock.

Really, I haven’t seen a lot of hospitals built by Atheists. Nor have I notice a whole lot of charities helping the sick or clothing the poor. I wonder what the ratio is for charitable giving on a percentage basis between Christians and Atheists, I bet Christians give a lot more. Its your actions that count, not your self-proclaimed beliefs. And I won’t even mention the atrocities and total disregard for basic human rights that are common in self-proclaimed Atheists nations.

Isnt Dobbs like a fringe Athiest?

Emeka on September 12, 2008 at 10:56 AM

I don’t think so, since he generally ridicules the whole Democratic, anti-God thing. Never-the-less, so what if he is?

Forgive the rant, but contrary to popular belief most Atheists have the same values and self-proclaimed Christians. Also, contrary to an insult lobbed at me in another thread, that does not mean that those values are not rooted in anything. In fact, most Atheists that I know are far more consistent in values than the Christians I see preaching about brotherly love in church, minutes before they fight each other to be first out of the church parking lot.

Someone else here put it better than I can, but if you want to see a true test of values, see how someone holds their values when you remove the threat of God’s will and eternal damnation.

Seriously folks, Atheist does not equal Liberal. Statements like the one above are the reason that Republicans are painted as elitists? Funny, seem to recall Jesus saying “love thy neighbor” not “condemn everyone that thinks differently than you”.

Or the “North American Union”.

Well, since you brought it up… I didn’t, I admired Dobbs for having the courage to mainstream that story. Yes, yes, I can tell by your tone that you think that was a bunch of nonsense. But explain the many state legislatures that put laws on the books to stop it. I guess they were all conspiracy theorist too, like me.

I’m suprised that he didn’t work illegal immigration into the whole talk…

Hypocrite.

Ed Morrissey

There is no question about that. The media looking down their long collective nose constantly derides anyone who speaks of faith in God, they cast it as some kind of political mis-step all on its own. That is bigotry, that is intolerance and its elitism at its worst. Of all the attacks on Palin the ones that disturbed me the most are the ones that attack her faith.

But what’s even more infuriating and obvious is when Democrats display token faith and use it to their advantage that is ignored by the media, they get a pass. Its only those who display genuine acts of faith that are attacked.
