Can anyone reading this please tell me why so many Good devout Democrats seem to be afraid to proclaim publicly that they are devout Believers? Get ready, because I am appearing here to begin to change all of the nonsense--that only Republicans are devout Believers who care about America. :idea: :?:

Welcome to OPP. By now you have had two weeks to figure out how most of the major posters think, which is helpful, and more than most of us have had before we jumped into the fray . I am honestly trying to figure out what the warm people friendly ideas of the Democrats are as I have seen none of them. The Democrats were the party of discrimination, and they still are, but they hide it in other terms. Affirmative action, for instance is a belief that, no matter how long a time since slavery, the black people are too stupid to gain their rightful place in society. The exceptions to that concept, such as Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Ben Carson, just to name a few, are considered traitors to the black race. This is especially true if they dare remind you that Muslims were the primary slave traders who were responsible for bringing black men as slaves to Europe and America.
The Democrats are also the primary party to demand that all sexual behaviors be considered equally valid, from homosexual acts, to people perceiving that their DNA and genitals have nothing to do with which gender they are. The goal of this behavior encouragement is well set out in the 45 goals of Communism, as stated by Skousen in the 1960's. You may Google it and easily find it. If you can't find it, I will repost it for the tenth time, and will be happy do do it. The concept that all sexual behaviors are good for society is behind the 70% out of wedlock births in the black subculture, and fewer children knowing who their fathers are, which is highly destructive to the society. Add to that the policy of preferential adoption for homosexual couples, and the requirement that all adoption agencies MUST allow same sex couples to adopt, even though there are significantly more problems in such families.
Today's welfare system adds to this destruction and is a liberal concept, rewarding those who choose to be non productive, rather than those who temporarily need help.
Minimum wage laws, with their economic damage are also a "progressive" idea, also encouraged by RINOs.
The Democrats have also banned religion in the public sector, although now they are encouraging "the religion of peace" and it is being taught in public schools, and encouraged in the public discourse. Stores are being closed in Muslim neighborhoods after protests that pork is available there, and dogs, which are considered "unclean" because Muhammed did not like dogs, are banned in public parks in areas where Muslims live. Just like the Christian bakeries, florists, and bed and breakfast establishments who are forced to provide services to homosexuals which, by their very nature, validate and honor same sex behavior, Christians and Jews are forced to honor their God in private, because public displays might "offend" some people. At the same time, semi naked people doing lewd things in "gay pride" celebrations in public, supposedly are not an insult to human decency.
OK, I have named just a few of the "progressive" concepts of the Democrat party. Now it is your turn to name the good things that have been encouraged by "progressives" and have been proven to work for the betterment of society. Notice, I said proven, not just claimed to work.
