God and the Democrats

The Democratic National Convention is underway this week in Charlotte, North Carolina. It has hardly been smooth sailing. But perhaps more than anything else, there have been a couple of things which so far define the meeting in ways which should profoundly affect the American people and their view of the Democrats.

For starters, it seems that the national debt has crossed the $15 trillion dollar mark as the convention began. This was labelled 'unfortunate' by the Huffington Post. Why? Because it reflects poorly on their candidate? It was hardly an instance of unbiased journalism, considering their choice of the word unfortunate. Who are they to judge? Why not simply, ahem, report the fact? It shows us two things: one, the Huffington Post is biased towards the left and favors the Obama Administration. But most telling is that it shows very clearly to the American voting public that this Administration and this party are spending our nation into oblivion. It is not a message they wish to be reminded about during their time in the spotlight precisely because it illuminates the main trouble President Barack Obama and his minions must answer for in this election cycle.

Beyond this, the Democrats have dropped dropped the word God from their platform. He is mentioned in terms such as 'God-fearing Democrats' yet they do not otherwise appeal to Him. This leaves the question, who can they possibly be pander to with such an omission? The relatively few Americans who don't believe in God? How many votes can they hope to secure with this move? How could it have really hurt them to appeal to a Deity? Were there people ready to vote Republican if the Democratic Party had called upon the Almighty? We doubt it.

The Democrats are in trouble and they know it. Why are they going out of their way to exacerbate it? Have their fears become panic? Time will tell; our best bet is to let the clock keep ticking. Their further reactions to the tick tocking will tell us all we need to know.
