Video: The Young Turks on Democrats readmitting reference to
God and Jerusalem identification as Israel's capital to their platform with a
voice vote.
I am less concerned with the fumbling around and am more interested in what it revealed. We can Learn two things from this video:
1. Party leaders don't care about a fair and democratic
process, they will have things their way, even if the people disagree.
2. Majority of people have forgotten how our constitution
was founded with the separation of church and state, where we welcome all
religions and belief systems. Using the
term 'God' implies an ideological belief
that alienates all people who do not share in those beliefs. Our politicians are suppose to support the
people, not a religious conviction.
What the Democratic Party leaders should have done in the
beginning was eliminate the term "God" due to its insinuation of an unfair
predisposition on religion, and not let it go back up for a vote. Of course, then they would have to recognized
the unconstitutional use of religion in all areas of our government. Such as the pledge of allegiance, our
currency, and the swearing in to office with the bible.
More on religion in politics to come in future posts.
