On The Religious Left, Great Expectations
The first priorities for Barack Obama's administration will be the economy and a variety of foreign policy issues. But the burgeoning religious left, which worked so hard to get Obama elected, expects some movement on its issues, including a robust White House office of faith-based initiatives, pove

Howard Dean's Vindication
God-o-Meter wrote a piece for today's Roll Call on the vindication of Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean's much-derided 50-State Strategy, which is largely about reaching out to the nation's more religious voters in the red states:

More Innacurate Faith Storylines From the Media

Mississippi Democratic congressional candidate Travis Childers, whose Republican opponent tried to lash him to Rev. Jeremiah Wright by way of Barack Obama’s endorsement of Childers–a tenuous connection, to be sure–won his special election last night.

Bush took by 25-points in 2004.The Wright ad against Childers also invoked Obama’s remarks about small town Americans clinging to guns and religion. So two faith-based lines of attack against Obama and the Democrats are failing in one of the nation’s most culturally conservative districts.

The Democrats are as good as Dr. Joseph Goebbels was. (Of course an educated man, PhD and all.)
We are just witnessing history reating itself. And as is usally the case in these modern of times, it is happeing much faster. The American Demcrats surely represent “The National Socialist ________ Workers Party.” What union worker doesn’t chant for the dems and what inner-city dweller cares for anyone except themself.
Unfortuantely goose-stepping lemmings do not make funny bobblehead dolls. They make totalitarian-authoritarian tyranny. Watch the ENDA Bill do that job.
And of course . . .:
“Universal Health Care.”
It always starts the same way.
