When you have a president who consistently drops the “Creator” when he misquotes the Declaration of Independence, I guess it’s no surprise that the party would drop “God” from its platform.
David Brody reports:
God’s name has been removed from the Democratic National Committee platform.
This is the paragraph that was in the 2008 platform:
“We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential.”
Now the words “God-given” have been removed. The paragraph has been restructured to say this:
“We gather to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth – the simple principle that in America, hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us.”
Who could’ve foreseen that the party that’s for taxpayer funded abortion, gay marriage, and death panels for the elderly would want to drop any mention of God? Yeah, pretty much everyone.
A Democratic official told ABC News that he didn’t see the big deal because the platform mentions: ‘faith’ 11 times; ‘religion’ or ‘religious’ 9 times; ‘church’ 2 times (one is a quote); and, ‘clergy’ 1 time.”
The Republican Party’s platform mentions “God” about half a dozen times.

This is what we are up against: the God fearing versus the Godless or the hopelessly deluded…or as my sister accused me of judging her: diluted. *sigh*

Only God is God. Faith, hope, charity, belief ‘faith’ 11 times; ‘religion’ or ‘religious’ 9 times; ‘church’ 2 times,‘clergy’ 1 time” are all man made and controlled by man. The virtues and gifts from God, like man, HIMSELF, are all predicated on the good will of man to accept and LIVE Faithful and virtuous lives. The Democratic Party has become the party of atheism, all to ready to remove our unalienable rights endowed by "THEIR CREATOR". This admission and submission to the tyranny imposed by atheism will go a long to shorten Obama, the INFANT BUTCHER'S stay in our white house. America is founded on Judeo-Christian founding principles, without which this country will fall. Isaiah, Jeremiah and all the prophets in pointing to Jesus Christ, proclaim the Supreme Sovereign Being, the sovereign Person of Jesus Christ and the sovereign personhood of man created in the image and likeness of God in FREEDOM which is granted by GOD, in the virtues which is the way to GOD and in free will, the freedom to pursue our Happiness as inscribed in The Declaration of Independence. Our destiny is not to be dictated to by any other, than, man in response to the will of God, Our Father. That the Democratic National platform refuses to proclaim the FREEDOM of GOD indicates the direction into which the democrats will be engineering America. GOD BLESS AMERICA, the democrats will not.

@Me :)."or as my sister accused me of judging her". Judging is a committment to God in love for our fellow human beings and the beginning of a conversation…as your sister accused you, she made a judgment herself. "Judge not lest ye be judged" is a call to live the truth in LOVE.
