Exclusive: Democrats Drop 'God' From Party Platform


Guess what? God’s name has been removed from the Democratic National Committee platform.

This is the paragraph that was in the 2008 platform:

“We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential.”

Now the words “God-given” have been removed. The paragraph has been restructured to say this:

“We gather to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth – the simple principle that in America, hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us.”

Stay in the know. Get The Brody File Weekly:

The Brody File has calls into DNC to explain why God’s name has been dropped from the platform. Some critics will suggest that when you have planks in your platform that support abortion rights and gay marriage then it's no wonder that God's name would be dropped as well.

Delegates will vote on the platform on Tuesday.

There is one section on "faith" and here is what it says:

"Faith has always been a central part of the American story, and it has been a driving force of progress and justice throughout our history. We know that our nation, our communities, and our lives are made vastly stronger and richer by faith and the countless acts of justice and mercy it inspires. Faith- based organizations will always be critical allies in meeting the challenges that face our nation and our world – from domestic and global poverty, to climate change and human trafficking. People of faith and religious organizations do amazing work in communities across this country and the world, and we believe in lifting up and valuing that good work, and finding ways to support it where possible. We believe in constitutionally sound, evidence-based partnerships with faith-based and other non-profit organizations to serve those in need and advance our shared interests. There is no conflict between supporting faith-based institutions and respecting our Constitution, and a full commitment to both principles is essential for the continued flourishing of both faith and country."

"using' God as a political platform is one thing...........governing/legislating/representing by it, once elected is quite another. If they talk the talk......they better walk the walk.......yes?

Dems Remove All References to ‘God’ From 2012 Party Platform (God has taken Himself OUT of their platform!)
posted by Donna Calvin

Calvin’s Commentary: The Democrats may think they have removed God from their party, but here’s the truth of the matter, God has removed HIMSELF from them. God hates sinners and murdering the unborn innocent babies that the Dem’s love to do and now want taxpayers to pay for, is a sin – a violation of God’s Law Word. Additionally, the Democrats embrace the sin of sodomy and fornication that God calls an abomination – Leviticus 18:22. So while they believe they have rid themselves of God, be it known to all men, that God has rejected them and has turned them over to reprobate minds. Look for the same kinds of things happening to Democrats that happened to Pharaoh after God hardened his heart. Any Christian who dares vote for a Democrat places themselves in the same position as one would have placed themselves in voting for Pharaoh.  Think about that this Tuesday, November 6th!  ▬Donna Calvin ▬ Tuesday, September 4, 2012

OF COURSE NOT!  NO ONE DOES!

Quoted from bumblethru

     
Psalm 81:12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
Romans 1:26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
Romans 1:28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
Ephesians 2:3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.
Ephesians 4:19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.

No. Physically placing ones hand on a Bible and swearing an oath is not required nor was it ever legally enforceable. The court gives those giving testimony the option of "swearing an oath" or making an affirmation to tell the truth as to the best of their knowledge.
