DEMS LOST THEIR SOULS IN FIGHT FOR VALUES
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Ironically, the more the Dems go for appearing as the “values political party,” the more they lose their souls. How can that happen? It can happen by lying in order to appear honest.
The more the Dems manufacture a spiritual presence while being void of genuine spirituality, the more the Dems damn themselves.
It’s as if the Dems actually conclude that real values persons are stupid. Values persons have reached their values foundation because of much thinking, research and living out real time convictions. Values just don’t happen. They grow in time because of being tested against the adversities of life.
Therefore, when Dems conclude overnight to be values friendly to America, they don’t understand that an overnight conversion like that just doesn’t happen. In fact, the Dems are acting out political opportunism and not a spiritual experience. Therefore, all the more the Dems are losing out in the spiritual department.
Now that may not be the case in the religion department for “religion” can mean anything from holding to a world religion viewpoint to holding to no religion at all. In fact, there are some who conclude that atheism is in fact a religion in that it is no-religion. That makes sense to me; all the more then the word “religion” is totally nebulous and relativistic.
But when one in America speaks of “values” it usually refers to the Judeo-Christian values base. That is, it is founded upon a biblical faith with biblical ethics. There are those of other world religions who hold to a religious ethic similar to the Judeo-Christian ethic; therefore, these persons join with Judeo-Christian values persons to groundswell all the more the genuine values quotient of the country.
However, by and large the Dems don’t fit into that anywhere. They can’t for the simple reason that they are immorally based.
In fact, some would call their program to be essentially evil in that it is a killing agenda. The Dems, without apology, defend killing off that which values persons hold dear. Dems kill off the biblical definition of sexuality, marriage, family, femininity, masculinity, as well as the defense of womb babies and elderly. They also seek to establish a totally secular state in America, thereby negating the Judeo-Christian heritage of this nation.
With that as their proclaimed party platform from shore to shore, there is no way that a biblically spiritual person of values could endorse the Dems. That is why when the Dems hark that they are “values oriented,” they become the laughing stock of the United States believers. Yet they continue to try. Again, they must conclude that the true values persons are ignorant — absolutely so.
So — again for the sake of the electorate cause — Dems have spoken for what they term “values.” In fact, Senator Jack Scott, Democrat, proclaimed to his California constituents that “I don’t think God is either a Democrat or a Republican. The moral values that I really care deeply about is justice for the poor and peacemaking and so that’s the reason that I wouldn’t call the Republican party the party of religion.”
Right there Scott gives himself away as either ignorant of a real “values” definition or playing up to the stupid crowd. For instance, one cannot be for “justice” and withhold justice from womb babies. One cannot be for “peacemaking” and still make war against womb babies. One can move from womb babies to other ethical issues and so unravel all the more Scott’s baseline.
Then there is Democratic Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid stating to media that he’s bringing God back into his party by inserting a page in the Dem’s Senate web page focusing on religious values. May the world read it and be convinced! Yes. In other words, a web site insert does not a spiritual party make. Yet Reid is trying. Reid has done this in follow through to Dems gathering in Berkeley in July to “focus on resurrecting the American spiritual left,” according to Fox News.
"’This really shows the desperation of the Democratic Party after their loss in November 2004,’ said California GOP spokeswoman Karen Hanretty. ‘They cannot appeal to the Christian right and to a lot of millions of voters throughout America who have a certain set of values.’"
And to that I’ll shout a hearty Amen!
