    Would it be better if they referenced Odin?

    I posted that in response to the WWJD not being a republican. Would he be a democrat? Not hardly on the social issues such as abortion or gay marriage. On economic issues it looks a little better for the democrats as the early church was very much in the camp of spreading the wealth around and socialistic in how they governed. However that only worked in the early church. Capitalism with it's faults has proved to provide the highest standard of living.

    Actually I don't see Jesus in either party as He was not political in His time.

      No, that was in response to the video and paragraph you posted about the Democrats being "against god". The paragraph says they are against religious freedoms, are godless, etc.

      but it never mentions Christianity

      So would it be better if the platform referenced Odin?

        Some liberals thought it would be a great idea to get every reference to God out of their platform but when they saw this could hurt them politically they were in a jam because the only way they could undo what they had done was a two thirds voice vote. So the world gets to watch voter fraud openly at the democratic convention as they certainly did not get that two thirds voice vote (proving the saying it is who counts the votes that matters). It is not a surprise to me the democrats fight voter ID at every turn.

          Ok.

          Based on the wording in the paragraph in your post, it seems like referencing Odin would be alright.

          So for the 3rd time... would it be better if they referenced Odin?

            Better for whom? Me? I don't care what the democrats do with their platform but was pointing out their hypocrisy and public voter fraud. I'm sure there are many who would like to have an atheist platform but the polling data isn't there yet to support that decision so they will wait until they can have that atheist platform without hurting their elect ability chances. Much like Obama and Hillary Clinton believed marriage was between one man and one woman before they flipped *evolved*.

              I hypocrisy is in that paragraph. They don't want religious principles and religious right. They want Christian principles.

              That's why I said Odin. That obviously isn't what the author wants, but he never came out and just said "Christian God".

                Nobody cares but I will bet you the Democrats work Jesus in their speeches as the campaign slides along. Except maybe not Sanders but most certainly the hildebeast.

                      Yes I am, and you are bitching because Republicans pander to Christians?

                      Or that it's somehow different if Democrats do it?

                      Or what?

                        In what I can only guess is an attempt to stay relevant, Ben Carson's now calling Obama, I think the technical term is, an oreo? Or coconut? My "down with the street kids" level is zero.

                            That is the same type of horse shit that ghetto black people use to shame other black people for not living like them. My wife had to deal with a load of dummies with this same mentality.

                            Poor taste by Carson.

                              "mn, that guy works hard, obeys the law and doesn't talk ghetto, he is a disgrace to black people" - that kind of thing, logic? at least, that's what I'm envisaging. A generation of black people who are so anti-'man' that anyone who actually succeeds within the framework of the system is a traitor. Anyone who was raised in a family with any kind of money can't possibly understand institutional racism.

                                "A" generation? Seems like it's been quite a few.

                                Of course if anybody voted for Obama (or members of his party the last few decades) in a giant block thinking that his election would lift their people out of their unfortunate status should start to notice that voting record hasn't been all that effective.

                                I would feel insulted if candidates pandered to me and my people as folks who didn't know any better and needed a shepherd.

                                I'm disappointed that Carson, if he really needed to play that card, couldn't have found a better way to do it.

                                  Yes, multiple generations.

                                  As for Carson, he could potentially have given examples of his racist victimisation, or where he protested it in his youth (kinda like Bernie did).

                                      Not if you want republicans to vote for you, probably. But Sanders actually has a history of going out and taking part in som relevant demonstrations, and standing up for his convictions. I have no idea if Ben Carson does, but he would be wise to bring it up to make the point he's trying to make.
