1. Politics and religion... what a great idea

They just bring the best out of each other.

2. But doncha know, we HAVE to do this.

We have to take religion back from the Republicans...or somthing like that. :eyes:

3. Jefferson

is spinning in his grave.

4. No he isn't.

He's dead - moldering - dust. Gone.

And that's good, because if he were alive he really would be pissed . . .

:evilgrin:

edited to remove extraneous word.

5. I didn't mean

his non-existent soul is looking on- just one of those statements that is hard to get rid of, kinda like jesus christ and god damn-it.

6. I know - I couldn't resist . . .

sorry . . . :hide:

7. No, I'm sorry...

I misread :hi:

8. Thanks for posting this

I can understand why the anti-choice protesters were removed as that is not part of the Democratic Platform, but removing non-religious people saddens me. The organizers knew this was an issue with us before the "service".

I realize this is edited, does anyone know if even one Humanist/Secularist/Rationalist/Atheist/Agnostic was allowed to speak as we "honour and respect our differences and strive to find our commonality?"

9. Huge difference between the two ejections

The women on the podium lied stating that ALL democrats are people of faith, when anyone with half a brain knows we non-believers are out here working hard of the party.
She also lied when she said it was the first official meeting of the convention, the convention was called to order the next day.
This could have been avoided first by this reverend telling the truth and it would have been helped by acknowledging the non-believers as important members of the democratic party.


The pro-fetus guy came to the event with his agenda planned, he probably came to the convention with his disruption already planned.
