Subversive Bill Ayers is supported by 3000 radical professors, and liberal public school teachers provide the USA with some of the worst performing students in the world. So much for the value of their opinions.

I am the most non-religious conservative you'll ever meet, and I'd wager many, many conservatives are too. And no disrespect towards you Partytime, but I'd expect more out of a tried and true "intellectually progressive" democrat. But............I think I see now that you represent a biased, secularist wing of the democrat party. Well........we all have our biases. This paranoia on the part of democrats is an interesting phenomena. It reminds me of what a very, very dear friend said the last time we met. She said..."I don't want my President to even mention the word 'GOD'." OK.........I understand......you have certain rules for your fellow human beings and they're not allowed to even mention the word God in your presence. The first thing that entered my mind when she said that was how sorry I was for her. I couldn't help but think how shallow and intolerant that statement was. Your statement is narrow and intolerant and stereotypes people. It implies that people who have faith in a higher being are bad. Because I was told over and over again how compassionate and tolerant democrats are, I'm really disappointed in this narrow opinion and smearing of other people's beliefs. I think religion gets in the way of politics thus causing an uninformed Republican political viewpoint due to the difficulties of getting past the religious hurdle.

Frankly, my family and friends would be highly amused that anyone made the insinuation I might fit into the following stereotype. After enjoying a great laugh, those who know me best would react by saying "it's obvious the writer really doesn't know you at all": Your words: "with respect to the Republican side, I think religion gets in the way of politics thus causing an uninformed Republican political viewpoint due to the difficulties of getting past the religious hurdle." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You're correct that 'at one time' Dems were considered the party of the working man -- those days are long gone. Today Dems represent an extremely far-left agenda that strives to destroy the American democratic-Republic, while at the same time today's Republicans fight to preserve the land their ancestors created. Today's Democrat Party would make FDR, Truman and Kennedy recoil in disbelief. Those former presidents were truly "the loyal opposition," but todays Democrats (culminating with their most radical presidential nominee, Barack Obama) can indeed be considered "the enemy within" - they are threatening American freedoms as they trash individual rights in their quest to elect a man who has formed many alliances with virulent anti-Americans. Your words: >I think Democrats have long been the party of the working man--informed, or not--intellectuals--informed, or not--and people from a variety of ethnic backgrounds--informed, or not--who know the meaning of struggle.<

Your statement is another example of narrowness, intolerance and ignorance Partytime. Where DO you get your information...........Rev Wright? And oh how I wish you could tell that to my long gone conservative ancestors who fought in most of the wars going back to the struggle for America's Independence. They'd shake their heads in disbelief. I think Democrats have long been the party of the working man--informed, or not--intellectuals--informed, or not--and people from a variety of ethnic backgrounds--informed, or not--who know the meaning of struggle.
