The RNC Deletes America, the DNC Deletes God: Guess What Got the Most Attention?
DEE EVANS FOR BUZZFLASH AT TRUTHOUT

..............

You barely heard a peep out of the media and political pundits when the “small government” Party rolled out their “all God, all guns, no sex” platform (abstinence education…really???) but let the Democrats leave the word God out of something and it’s hello at the cross!

I love my country but jeepers creepers people, no wonder we’re so screwed up! We care more about if the word God is seen in a document that basically means nothing than we do if seniors can get quality care or the poor can buy food or the sick can see a doctor or if some lunatic can buy 20,000 rounds of ammunition over the Internet and then decides to pay a visit to his local movie theater or Muslim temple.

This is what is wrong with so-called “American exceptionalism”, you actually start believing your own press clippings and you think that you have a right to do whatever you want as long as you wrap it up in an invisible cloak of God and country.

Wake up people! I was raised a Baptist in Texas and I’m as God-fearing as the next person, but I do not try to put my values above people’s actual lives…and that’s what’s happening here. For our media to jump all over the Democrats for this while literally letting the Republicans sail off into the sunset with a tablet of commandments that would make Ronald Reagan not only roll over in his grave but get up and do the electric slide, is unconscionable.
