Democrat Party Leaving the Faithful Behind...

History Professor Kevin Starr (no relation to Kenneth that I am aware of) posts an editorial in the LA Times pointing out how the modern Democrat Party is leaving behind its roots of Judeo-Christian values.

"Something most of us on the Right noticed a long time ago. Baffled by such rejection, an ostracized faith community shows every sign of realigning itself politically. Although a few astute politicians such as Hillary Clinton are trying to find a way out of this breach, there is no clear path. Democrats should be reading Jacques Maritain — a social democrat and cultural moderate — or even studying the progressive policies and programs of the Eisenhower and (yes!) the Nixon years. Instead, social democrats, once anchored in the deepest imperatives of religion and culture, substitute sloganeering and sound bites for thought — as when party Chairman Howard Dean describes Republican Americans as pure evil, no two ways about it.

Faith and traditional values get shred in the ideological crossfire, and the sustaining, healing power of American culture is lost."

Today's Democrat leadership is leading the party away from mainstream America at their own electoral peril.
