The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Being a conservative Christian...

Just out of curiousity, where exactly do you live? Would you live in a predominate red state or blue state?

I may not have made this point as clear as I could, but note that I stated the Democrat party is out beyond left field in moral matters, not necessarily pure socio-political matters.

I happen to live in a blue state and all that is talked about by the Democrat party is unions, socialized medicine and homosexual marriage. These are major agendas put forth by the mainstream Democrat party in the US and none of these positions are centrist and they are certainly far from being right wing. One thing I appreciated about the talk show host, Dennis Prager, is how he ventured into the Democrat national convention and spent time during his program to interview the delegates to the convention. The one question Prager always asked was, "Why are you a democrat?" and with out fail, 9 times ouf of 10, the key reason is that Republicans are "too religious" or they place too much emphasis on religion. Branching off from that anti-religious conviction was the issue of abortion, gay rights, national health care, and unionized labor.

Moreover, Kerry had the most liberal voting record in the senate; Edwards the fourth. So for a moment in time, in the months leading up to the election (and depending upon which context he was speaking) he sounded strong on Iraq, but that was not his core position. If you stuck with the guy's duplicit statements, it was obvious that he favored a more multilateral approach to Islamic terrorism, what he equated to being a criminal gang problem that just needs to be "policed" (which tells me how out of touch he is with what drives Islamic terrorism), rather than the US dealing directly with its enemies, if need be, apart from UN support. Please don't feel too offended, but your comments make me wonder just how informed you are about what Democrats believe.
