    The DNC had pre planned what they were going to say before the vote even occurred. It was on the prompters. The people assembled had voted in wide margin to not include God and the party leadership shoved it in anyways.

    How would the Republicans react if the RNC went over the heads of the party and included a clause supporting gay marriage even if the party voted against it?

    You just admitted that my point was valid. The democrat party rejected God. You just admitted it. I said it was what they did and the party leadership was too embarrassed to accede to their demands.
    What part of that did you not get?

    What place does God have in the platform of an inclusive secular political party made up of members of many different religions?

    And you can't answer my question. Probably because you support the Republicans, aka the party of Christian Theocracy.

    A liberal can be a Christian. Why not?

    The biggest problem with Liberals is they won't use common sense or look at history to see how
    their policies have failed.

    For the most part, you're right. If a liberal policy or program fails, they view that failure as their policy or program needing more money. If only more money was spent on it, it would succeed. They never think it might be a flawed program or policy. The Liberal answer is always more money. Never repeal or fix or adjust.

    Literally every single sentence in this post is such an accurate misinterpretation of absolutely everything even tangentially related to the topics at hand that, given the choice between reading it again and castrating myself with the claw end of a hammer, I would find myself deeply conflicted and probably flip a coin a few times. Had they been broadcasted over major network television, a wave of mass suicides would surely follow, leaving the majority of society in mourning.

    For one thing, the election of several officials is rather irrelevant when it's the will of the people that changes history. Bourgeois electioneering is largely irrelevant to actual politics. For another, you believe the bathroom myth, which is laughable because there is literally no recorded case of someone masquerading as a trans person to commit rape, and even if there were I very much doubt that rapists care about whether there's a law against finding their way to their preferred raping grounds anyway.

    Why did you bother responding to my post you didn't read? If you had read it you
    would have noticed that rape isn't an issue.

    Because that's what the argument always is. Every time. Every single face, every single voice, all of them blend together into one screaming ignorance that I would desperately love to silence.

    You have no idea how many homophobes and transphobes I encounter on a daily basis. These rants are therapeutic in that they enable me to give back some of the petty aggravation they cause me.

    No, that's not the right question. Here, try this; Does anything say fake values more than liberal drivel?

    There's no politics in the simple understanding that certain commonly used phrases like 'family values' have no inherent, universal meaning.

    Obviously you don't get the point. The GOP dropped the "family values" plank years ago because it's members did not practice what they preached, The word for that is hypocrisy. Would you like some examples?

    thats bs and u know it...conservatives are the ones who turned their back on christian principles, and they even call themselves christian when all they are is religious...most atheists are much better christians then conservatives who call themselves that...
    being a christian has nothing to do with hating gays and striving for vengeance, being a christian is all about tolerance, kindness, helping the poor, helping the stranger etc.
    US conservatives are probably among the least christian people on this planet

    That just proves the point.

    "It has no inherent meaning..."

    An esoteric meaning is not an inherent one.

    But if it only means that to you, it isn't inherent. It's just your opinion.

    P.S. Families never consist of one man and one woman, that's just a couple. Families normally consist of parents children uncle's aunts nieces and nephews that is far more than one man and one woman. So you are wrong about the word inherent and you are wrong about the word family.

    Religion is about control, not any god or gods. The more you point that out to them the more desperately they cling to that master.

    Worshipping God shouldn't require a religion should it?

    Yes all politician's speech. It's just crap they tell you so you will vote for them. 95% of the crap they talk about they have no control over, their purpose is to collect a minimal tax and protect the nation from foreign attack.

    Making people feel good about their beliefs was never in the scope of politics.

    Politics & populism are bedfellows. It's why there are, for better or worse, umpteen polling groups out there working for politicians 24/7.

    So, should liberals drop "honesty" & "transparency" from their platform?

    Well, what DOES it mean?? Besides an meaningless phrase that Repubs throw out to capture the vote of the unthinking?

    I'm neither a Democrat or Republican nor have I ever heard of of a liberal axiom stating "honesty" & "transparency".

    Christian values and morality have always guided it.
