So what they are asking for is Planned Parenthood and others to offer free abortions – oh wait thats not it. \u00a0The “regardless of ability to pay” is not exactly code words requiring the official DNC Decoder Ring (which looks just like a package of birth control pills). \u00a0It does not take a prophet, a son of a prophet, or someone who once played a prophet on TV to forecast exactly how HHS rules will change in requiring abortion coverage. \u00a0Or if not exactly that something else that achieves the same goal. \u00a0The total lack of anybody even pretending to be pro-life at their convention and having the head of the largest abortion provider give a prime time speech we know exactly how little they are concerned about opposition to abortion. \u00a0If the President was arrogant in his decisions against Catholics and others in his first term we can only expect worse. \u00a0Health and Inhuman Services will certainly grow.<\/p>\n
The administration that uses religious profiling to eliminate Catholics from participating of course say they are against religious profiling in their plank. \u00a0I do wonder what believers who are Democrats think about their new plank – though once you have swallowed abortion and other intrinsic evils it is hard to complain when it comes to this. Certainly some members of the party have been pretty touch when asked about the exclusion of a reference to God and no doubt they are seeing this as an error that pragmatically didn’t have to be made. \u00a0But really there is no point in referencing God if the rest of the plank not only excludes him but praises evil. \u00a0The official religion of secularism is atheism and more and more this is being demonstrated.<\/p>\n
Update: While I was writing this they voted to restore the one reference of God back. \u00a0Though the number of boos certainly didn’t make it sound like it was a two-thirds agreeing and the whole evolution is rather an embarrassment to them.<\/p>\n
Though that does not make the multiple references to God in the GOP’s plank perfect.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot every one who says to me, \u2018Lord, Lord,\u2019 shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, \u2018Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?\u2019 And then will I declare to them, \u2018I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Not having a plank that proclaims intrinsic evils is certainly a good start.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
A lot has already been written on the word God being removed from the Democratic Party’s plank. \u00a0Though that never stopped me before from weighing in.
