Dems are back on the “values” bandwagon, insisting that Republicans haven’t cornered the market on “religion.”
“I don’t think God is either a Democrat or a Republican,” said California state Sen. Jack Scott, a Democrat. “The moral values that I really care deeply about is justice for the poor and peacemaking and so that’s the reason that I wouldn’t call the Republican Party the party of religion.” (Source)
First of all, what a stinky web site the California State Senate has! (the General Assembly, too) Somebody ought to tell them the 80s are over. Second, somebody ought to tell Senator Scott that THIS is not a blog. I’m offended! Such cavalier attitudes about web design, standards, and functionality are atrocious, and I can’t believe Scott is trying to pass off a dated, static web page as a blog. I have a mind to…
What were we talking about? Oh! Values, right? Get this:
Democrats insist this effort isn’t new, and that strong, godly principles have always been abundantly clear in the party platform. Party leaders add that people can expect to see that awareness reflected in future Democratic outreach efforts.
Strong, godly principles, huh? I can’t wait to see what these “principles” look like. How liberals plan to win voters who think homosexual “marriage” is an abomination will be — to understate the matter — interesting.

Update (8/11): Commenter Mike O.:
Being a little older than most commenters I can say that I used to be tolerant and now I’m intolerant. No, I didn’t change but the definition of tolerance in this PC country did.It used to be a virtue. It used to mean that even though I disagreed vehemently with your view, I treated you with respect and kindness. Now it means that I am to accept your view, no matter what it is, as having equal value in the marketplace of ideas. With this definition I’m being asked to call good what God calls evil. Sorry, if God calls it evil, I’m not going to disagree with Him to be PC.
