  While this bulletin from the Catholic League was released a couple weeks ago, I re-read the following urlLink press release and realized it was one of the best-written defenses of the Christian cause and why Sen. Kerry is a wicked bad choice for president, to adapt a saying from his home state of Massachusetts. August 5, 2004 DNC’S RELIGION ADVISOR QUITS Catholic League president William Donohue commented today on the resignation of Rev. Brenda Bartella Peterson as the Senior Religion Advisor to the Democratic National Committee (DNC): “Rev.
Peterson told Religion News Service that ‘it was no longer possible for me to do my job effectively.’ The Washington Post added today that her decision was made ‘after the New York-based Catholic League issued three blistering news releases attacking her positions.’ “The only question now is whether John Kerry and the DNC have finally got the message. When we exposed Mara Vanderslice as a Left-wing activist who cavorts with anti-Catholics, the Kerry camp silenced her as its Religious Outreach Director.
When we exposed Rev. Peterson as a Left-wing activist who went into the U.S. Supreme Court on the side of atheist Michael Newdow to censor the words ‘under God’ in the Pledge, she was forced to quit her role with the DNC. The first hire may have been a mistake, but it is not credible to maintain that the DNC erred in hiring Rev. Peterson: they knew what they were getting and they knew what happened to Vanderslice, and yet they persisted anyway.
“Why are Kerry and the DNC imploding on religion? Because too many of the elites running the show are devout secularists who put a premium on freedom from religion. Their idea of religious liberty is banning nativity scenes on public property. Their idea of diversity is censoring ‘under God’ from the Pledge. Their idea of tolerance is forbidding a moment of silence in the schools. Their idea of a good Catholic is Frances Kissling of Catholics for a Free Choice. Their idea of compassion is hiking taxes. Their idea of helping the poor is giving them directions to a soup kitchen. And their idea of choice is abortion, not school vouchers. “Kerry and the DNC now have two strikes against them in their religious outreach efforts.
Whether they strike out is up to them. We’re certainly not dropping out of the game, and we’re certainly monitoring Bush and the RNC on this subject just as closely.” Memo to Dems: I don't have to quote Terrell "Yo, this is T.O. " Owens' "if it walks like a..." speech to figure out that when you practice what you preach (oops, forgot you don't like the word "preach" since it's not "inclusive" enough) we can see that your party and its candidate are not fit to make decisions for our nation. Think about it: the same party that whined and moaned about how the majority wasn't served when popular vote winner Al Gore lost to Electoral College winner President Bush is now the same party that believes the majority should not be honored because it is "forcing" its views on a minority.
What?!? You can't have it both ways, clowns, and you're not going to clown the American people by talking out of both sides of your mouths when it comes to religion and our nation. You think the two are separable, but in fact since our man Geo. Washington was in office REAL LEADERS have known that God and America are to be kept as tightly together as is humanly possible considering our sad state of disobedience. When you separate the two, America falls. It's as simple as that. While I'm not often a big fan of Catholicism and the twists that it can take in comparison to Protestant or Evangelical Christianity, I'm fully behind my boys in New York on this one.
Conservatism helps people on an individual level; liberalism creates a "program" to send money. Who does more? I'm thinking of a parable here: give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach him to fish, he eats for a lifetime. Now look at it this way: give a man a program, he subsists relying on the government; teach a man to fish (or give him a marketable skill) and he provides for not only himself but also his at-risk family.
Too bad the Dems didn't think of that...
