In which my disgust with the Democratic Party grows

Posted on: August 22, 2008 11:22 AM, by PZ Myers

I just received this email from some communications group trying to publicize the virtues of the Democratic Party. It had the opposite effect on me. I am appalled. It’s the usual Democratic strategic inanity of pushing to ape the Republicans instead of even trying to be a party of progressive ideas, so they’re going to promote futile religious bullshit at their convention. This just makes me furious.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION TO HIGHLIGHT DIVERSE COMMUNITY OF FAITH LEADERS WORKING TOWARD COMMON GOOD…..

Apparently the excerpt from the post above is in response to the latest development in liberal politics. The Dems obviously are reacting to the Saddleback event and their concerns that they cannot win the Presidential election without votes from a segment of the population they revile, sometimes to referred to as Evangelicals or the Religious Right. Is this their plan?

from WaPo….

Young Evangelical Backs Out of Giving Convention Opening Prayer

By Krissah Williams Thompson
The relationship Democrats are trying to forge with the faith community at their convention next week took a hit when a popular young evangelical backed out of their Monday night program.

Cameron Strang, the 30-something editor of Relevant, a hip magazine about faith and culture, said on his blog that he has changed his mind about delivering the opening night convention prayer because he does not want to be seen as endorsing Sen. Barack Obama. Strang will still attend the convention, however, where he will speak on a panel.

So the Dems are trying to get religion. How transparent is this cheap political ploy? Probably about the same as the rest of the liberal strategy. Doing their own Obama-like world tour to visit state sponsors of terror with gestures of appeasement did not work. Trying to surrender in Iraq and Afghanistan did not work. Trying to deny the American public of domestic oil production is not working. In short their last subsititute for their typical ‘hope and change’ mantra, ‘A New Direction for America’ is not working at all. Talk about a lost cause looking for someone to throw them a bone.

The liberal at the top of the page may want to consider, based on his posted CV, that a better notion than the Dems promoting ‘progressive ideas’ would be to simply pursue solutions that most people can support. Practical notions minus some of the political baggage from party politics is something that might get more mileage than touting party ideology all the time. Instead of doing that, in this case, the Dems will try to convince us they got religion. Being a godless liberal, no wonder he’s upset.
