Words for Democrats to live by?
I had a reader send me a quote today:
That's not at all to suggest that Democrats are godless or anything like that. It's just that it's the kind of phraseology you'd expect to come from my side of the political aisle.
And it begs the question for the followers and honorers of McGovern. If they considered him right back then, where do they stand now when it comes to people calling to get religion out of politics.
Just a noon-time thought.
"Our problem is not too much morality in politics, but too much politicsWhich prominent Republican said this? Well, actually, none of them. It was a quote from George McGovern in a presidential campaign speech that he gave on October 11, 1972.
without morality.
"Recently, someone sent me a radio sermon delivered by tge Reverend Joel Nederhood of "The Back to God Hour" broadcast from Chicago. The sermon was about the faith of our presidents. Dr. Nederhood contended that American have adopted the dangerous custom of separating religion from their evaluation of national leaders.
"I believe this is wrong for a nation whose founders were so deeply motivated by religious conviction."
That's not at all to suggest that Democrats are godless or anything like that. It's just that it's the kind of phraseology you'd expect to come from my side of the political aisle.

PP, did it make you blow a gasket too?
Nor were there so many mush brained people who wanted all children to be given contrceptives, without their parent knowledge or consent, and then of course an abortion when the cons didn't work.
Last I heard, Christians still don't support murder and are concerned about their children.
The difference would be whether or not they want to use the iron hand of government to impose one set of beliefs.
I'd rather focus on spreading the Good News instead of forcing it on the unwilling.
It never ceases to amaze me how every single thread and topic on every single blog is somehow distilled down to the abortion issue...and you wonder why the voters of SD are fatigued over the issue????
Back then no one protested a Nativity scene on the courthouse grounds, singing Christmas carols or having Christmas parties in public schools, a cross in a veterans' cemetery, the Ten Commandments hung in gov't buildings, saying "under God" in the Pledge of Allegience, or even reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in schools.
Back then Dems and Reps both would have been appalled that this is what has happened.
What some refer to as far right wing or fascist is merely a backlash against the attacks on Christianity.
What a sad day in South Dakota when George McGovern's words ring most true for my beloved party.
The Democrat Party of today has little moral compass and certainly uses God when it is convenient.
Helping the poor and the abused is a long held tradition of many Democrats but after recent events in Pierre it is obviously not so today.
South Dakota voters want to hear truth to become confident in voting. The pro-death community provided everything but the truth.
