The Democrats, once again, are attempting to talk morals. Since this is a subject with which they are not familiar, they should probably give up trying to convince people they have them. Unfortunately, for them, they just can't seem to give this particular bone up. And as long as they continue talking, we'll continue getting gems like the following from California Democrat Senator Jack Scott:

"I don't think God is either a Democrat or a Republican," said California state Sen. Jack Scott (search), a Democrat. "The moral values that I really care deeply about is justice for the poor and peacemaking and so that's the reason that I wouldn't call the Republican Party the party of religion."

Huh? Could someone translate this gibberish for me? I honestly don't remember being called the "party of religion" and even if we were, what would it have to do with peacemaking and justice for the poor? And is he saying that morals are equalivent to religion? Because if they are, then he's started one heck of a conflict for the "separation" crowd.

Last month, Democratic spiritual leaders gathered in Berkeley, Calif., to focus on resurrecting the American spiritual left. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is bringing God back into the Democratic fold by adding a page on the party's Senate Web site aimed at religious voters.

And again, Mr. Reid, I ask what happend to your "separation" mantra? Out of curiosity, and since Fox didn't provide a link to the specified page, I went to the DNC page and tried to find what they were talking about. The only mention of religion that I could find is a speech that Dean made to a Methodist church claiming how close they are in values. Of course he spends most of the speech demonizing Republicans and completly ignoring history. I was especially amused at this exerpt:

"The Republican leadership likes to talk about their connection with African Americans and their heritage as the party of Lincoln. This new stump is chock full of apology but light on true repentance...

"Like America, the Democratic Party has grown and evolved and our relationship with the African American community is a progressive movement...

The DNC has grown and evolved in their realationship with blacks? So does that mean that you've stopped lynching them and given up your battle against civil rights? Because historically, that's what the DNC has stood for. Heck, you're even being sued for reparations by people in the black community. But I suppose as long as you can pretend your past isn't there, then you can convince anyone you're on thier side.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If the Democrats want to convince people they have morals, then they need to take a very hard look at their policies. Stop murdering innocent babies and releasing hardend killers. That only proves you've got it backward. And my definition of morals doesn't include allowing anyone to do anything that they like no matter how depraved. Even if you aren't Christian, there are some things that civilized people should be able to agree are simply wrong.
