There was a story about the DNC rejecting efforts from some mainline
religious groups to give welcome baskets to delegations that contained
local candy, maps, directions, etc. It was rejected because they
didn't share the beliefs of the convention.

And then there is this.

Democrats Efforts To Reinsert 'God' And 'Jerusalem' Into Platform Met
With Loud Opposition

Posted: 09/05/2012 5:46 pm Updated: 09/05/2012 6:29 pm


CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A rare unscripted moment at the Democratic National
Convention here Wednesday resulted in an embarrassing moment for the
party that is certain to be used in Republican television ads over the
next two months.

After they took heat for omitting any reference to "God" in their
platform, and for eliminating language from the 2008 platform that
identified Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Democrats tried to add
the language back into their party platform with a voice vote.

A source informed on the deliberations told The Huffington Post that
President Obama personally interevened (sic) to strengthen the
language. Speaking with HuffPost, a senior Obama administration
official also confirmed the president's involvement.

But when Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villagairosa, the convention
chairman, came to the podium to ask for the approval of the delegates,
those who shouted opposition to the language change were as loud, if
not louder, than those who voiced their support.

Villagairosa, in what quickly became an awkward moment, asked for the
voice vote three times in all. After the second time, he paused for
several seconds and looked behind him for guidance from a convention
staffer -- possibly a parliamentarian -- before turning back and
asking for a third vote.

Even though the no's were again as loud if not louder than the aye's
on the third vote, Villagairosa said he had determined that two thirds
of those present had voted in favor. Boos filled the arena in
response.

Within minutes, Republican National Committee staffers had uploaded
the video to YouTube and were circulating it on Twitter.

The party platform's section on Israel, which broke with previous
years' precedent by removing the explicit reference to Jerusalem as
the capital of Israel, had sparked furious outcries among Republicans
and the pro-Israel crowd.

Sources told The Huffington Post on Tuesday that the response took
party officials by surprise, since the language of the platform had
been carefully orchestrated to emphasize America's close ties to
Israel and to avoid wading into controversial "final-status" issues,
like the designation of Israel's capital.

Two sources also told HuffPost that officials with the American Israel
Public Affairs Committee, the bipartisan and staunchly pro-Israel
interest group known as AIPAC, had vetted the draft and signed off on
its provisions.

AIPAC-linked sources later vociferously denied the report, telling
reporters that the organization had initially proposed language that
included Jerusalem as the capital, and that their officials never
reviewed the "full Middle East platform."

The source informed on the internal party deliberations said the
latest change to reinsert the Jerusalem language was made in order to
calm the controversy, not to change the intent of the passage.

"Democratic party officials were and continue to be exceedingly
comfortable with the original language," the source said. "The
original language was stridently pro-Israel, and they felt that this
controversy over the Jerusalem wording was distracting from their
overall message."

But a second party source said that top leaders in the party were
"pissed" when they found out about the exact wording of the platform,
and had spent Wednesday pressing for the language to be changed.

The Jerusalem addition to the platform is below in full:

"Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel. The parties have
agreed that Jerusalem is a matter for final status negotiations. It
should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths."

This post has been updated to include comment from a senior Obama
administration official.

It's important for the platform to mention god as many times as the

So why bring the Constitution into it? It doesn't contain the phrases
"health care", "abortion", "poor", "middle class", "wealthiest", "fair
share", etc., In fact, the entire platform could be retitled "Words,
Phrases and Ideas that Aren't In the Consitution", and that wouldn't be
far off. So please don't pretend that your anti-God stance has one thing
to do with the Consitution.

I'm not "anti-god." I'm agnostic. I have little use for "organized"
religion and I just don't believe superstitious religious beliefs should
play a part in civil government, in electing government officials, in
determining civil laws, in determining whether women have access to
abortion, et cetera.

I am perfectly happy having an election where the atheists and
non-believers vote for Obama and those who believe in religion vote
for Romney. And apparently the Democrats are seeking that also.

I agree with you on this, but if your party is named for democracy, and you
say amendments to your platform must be approved in a democratic way, you
shouldn't have your decision made before a democratic vote is held, and you
shouldn't ignore the democratic vote you hold to take the politically
expedient path of reinserting God into your platform.

I was embarrassed for them when they did this. I can only imagine how I
would feel if I didn't already think they were idiots.

>This is not a country with a formal religion, even though many conservative

So now the conservative Christians are running the Democratic party? The
Democrats decided to make the initial platform changes, and the Democrats
decided to make the amendments. Don't lay this on the Republicans, or the
any one elses out there.

If I was a voting American the last person I would vote for is the one
who wears his god on his sleeve, who prays in public places so that he
can be seen praying as rebuked by Jesus. No I wouldn't trust the god

Actually I was very disappointed that the Easter Bunny was not
mentioned. Or Father Xmas. How very remiss of the Democratic Convention.

Perhaps those who think a god should figure in everyday politics should
join the Taliban in Afghanistan. You can ask them how theocracy works in
their part of the world.

For religious people who insist on wearing God on your sleeve for
everyone to see and praise you and vote for you please note what your
Matthew 6:5 has to say on public displays of religiosity for public
consumption.

"And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites are: for they
love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the
streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have
their reward."

An achiest candidate is likely to be more honest because there is no
political motive for being atheistic except for that being an honest
position of the candidate.

Hey X Man. Have you seen this video Three Times (as in Three Times They Denied God)? Col. Alan West approved it. I think you will like it a lot and it will make you a proud Democrat. Looks like ya’ll got got the non-believer vote in the bag. But I wonder exactly whose idea it was to have Monica Lewinsky’s former Rabbi give an anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage benediction? The Rabbi could have been booked back when Obama was still against gay marriage, but the Rabbi's anti-abortion bit must have terribly confused and frightened the democrat women in the crowd who are already war weary.

Religious leaders, like any other citizens, are entitled to have and
express their opinions. The problem arises when citizens try to shove
their religious views and superstitions onto our secular society via
regulations, restrictions, laws, courts. It's fine with me if a rabbi,
priest, or minister wants to speak out against abortion. It's not fine
when they try to outlaw it or pressure legislators to outlaw it because
of their religious views.

Alan West pays his taxes unlike you who had to be sued by the IRS to pay
your taxes.

Funny you speak about shoving opinions and views onto others. You are
guilty of just that when you whine about the rich not paying their fair
share in taxes and the IRS had to sue you to get you to pair your fair
share of taxes.

We all have nice days because we aren't looking over our shoulders to

*You* claimed I was "anti-god." I refuted that claim. As to whether the
Dems at the DNC believe in god, that is unknown. What is known is that a
number of them don't believe mention of god belongs in the platform. One
can believe in god and not want it mentioned in a political document.

Oh, wait...you're in Texas, right?

"Murder" is a legal term, and it typically involves the "unlawful
killing" of a human being. A country or a state or other entity may
define abortion as "murder" and therefore it becomes murder. The same
societal entity may also define those killed by the dropping of a bomb
as "not murdered."

I don't believe abortion is murder.

There's no particular connection between "abortion is murder" and god.
There's no evidence that anyone on this planet now or in the past has
ever had a face-to-face, a phone conversation, an exchange of emails, or
anything else tangible with god, or can prove that there is, was, or
will be a god.

There's belief, of course, but that's not the same thing. In this
country, for the moment, at least, individuals are free to believe in
god or not believe in god, and, if they believe or don't believe, the
basis of that belief or non-belief can take many forms.

You would think it is a simple question, but it isn't. Every day the courts are tied up deciding if a homicide is a murder, each unique in its considerations. War is the taking of human life, but is it murder? Is running over a pedestrian murder? Always? No one is going to be happy with a simple answer to a complex question.

The questions that should be asked should be simpler;

Do we trust a woman to decide if she is to become a mother? If not, then who?

Besides making laws against it (the club approach), are there stratigies that would make giving birth a better option (the carrot approach)?

I have a simple question; has anyone here seen a woman offer her uterus and was willing to carry the "unborn baby" to term? Does that procedure even exist? why not?

I have a different question. People have been clinically dead and the doctors have brought them back to life. Is this stealing from God? I understand the point of view that that act is as bad as "killing an 'unborn baby'", so why is different? The ramifications if Jesus was taken from the cross and resusitated with cpr and a wide open IV of nor-epi and STAT intubation.

When the votes are counted, put me in the camp that says anyone against abortion should not have to have one.

Same with gay marriage.

No, but it is the ending of a living human.

It's funny how pro-choice people tend to claim to be pro-science, but
denying that life begins at conception is pretty much an anti-science point
of view.

Abortion is still a necessity, and should stay legal. Just my opinion, of
course.

What do your "friends" here in alt.obituaries know about your tax
issues? You know Harry the tax issues where the IRS had to come after
you to ensure that you paid your fair share of taxes. You have been
ranting about how the Republicans don't pay their fair share and it has

Absolutely not. At conception, when the cells start to multiply and
organize, is when life begins. Additionally, when it is two humans that were
involved in the conception, that newly created life is human as well.
Denying these facts is just an ignorant attempt to make terminating that
life more palatable.

No, I don't.

The claim that there is a god or gods cannot be tested; assertions
immune to disproof are veridically worthless. Faith is not proof of
existence.

Attributing "acts of nature" to "acts of god" is nothing more than a
semantical canard that has been accepted by society as a way to explain
away storms, floods, hurricanes, forest fires, tsunamis, et cetera.
If there was a god, why would it want to wreak devastation on those who
worship it? Do you really accept the Jerry Falwell-Pat Robertson
explanation that the killing acts of nature are really acts of god
punishing humans for being, oh, gay, liberal, feminist, Muslim? What
about the "good christians" who also suffer because of those acts of
nature? Why is their god punishing them?

As stated previously, I don't know whether god exists. Neither does
anyone else who has lived or is living. Further, proving the existence
of god is not like finding a cure or effective treatment for cancer. The
latter is a road upon which progress can be made, demonstrated, proven,
and verified.

I won't dispute that the *concept* of god has evolved, if that's the
word, over the ages. Most believers no longer worship rocks, stone
statues, the sun, et cetera. Belief has evolved to an entity that
created man in his own image, whatever that means. At some point,
mankind may find sentient beings in another part of the universe, and
those beings may not resemble us in any way. Maybe it is those beings
who were created in the image of god.

Where does that leave us?

Belief in god is an act of faith, not an assertion based upon proof.

If you bother to respond, try to do it intellectually, in your own
words. If you can.

Have nice day.

No. Agnostic and atheist are not synonyms, though there are some
agnostics who are also atheists. Agnosticism can take at least a
half-dozen different forms, maybe more.

And once again you prove you have the intellectual capability of a
rotifer. If I were an atheist, I wouldn't have any hesitation in saying
so, and neither would any of the handful of other agnostics I know. That
you can't differentiate only speaks to your mental inabilities.

Another intellectual absurdity. To state you don't know if there is a
god doesn't mean you are saying there is no god. Whoever first described
you as an eight year old child was spot on.

Harry used to live in Florida, also used to live in Virginia. The fine
folks on rec.boats have uncovered all sorts of scummy things Krausie has
done over the years and are posting links to court cases, IRS documents,
etc..

We do. Ken still owns a home in Maryland.

Yep, let me get the mileage...........<GoogleMaps>....... 27.1 miles door

I knew another New Zealand doofus, besides Booby Feigel, who insisted on
writing " USA " as " USa". He had a bug up his butt about the fact the
United States shares the [ North] American continent with other nations and
we didn't have the right to claim it exclusively in the name. I think you
should also know that same googlie-eyed nitwit also claimed there was a
Shah of Iraq. LOL

You think so? If contraception is supposedly unavailable, it isn't
free to everyone, why should abortion be different?

Like actually knowing what is happening? In all other medical
procedures it is called informed consent.

Like when the political bosses determined the candidates? Primaries
were established to reduce their influence.
