Democratic Party Platform on Townhall

• Americans Are Pro-Israel: Obama's Party? Not So Much! Tue Nov 20
  Ken Blackwell
  It seems every time the Republicans lose a presidential election, white board-toting architects and backroom strategists descend on the Sunday talk shows. Republicans must dump the social issues. Defending the right to life of unborn children and upholding the civil right of marriage is just costing too much support with the voters. We have to moderate our positions, they say. ... more
• To Understand the Democratic Party’s Re-definition of Marriage - Follow the Money! Sat Oct 6
  Harry R. Jackson, Jr.
  Our country made history in 2008 when we elected our first black president. The 2012 election is already historic as well, but for a much less promising reason. This year marks the first time in history that a major political party has put the redefinition of marriage into its national platform. ... more
• Atheists’ and Muslims’ Cross to Bear Mon Sep 17
  Matt Barber
  While America mourned the 11th anniversary of the Islamic attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, atheist radicals were throwing fuel on the fire. While millions were praying for the friends and families of precious souls lost, self-styled “progressives” were preying upon the most significant symbol of hope to which many of the grieving clung. ... more
• Is the Republican Party the Party of God? Mon Sep 17
  Michael Brown
  The Democratic Party Platform contains just one reference to “God,” and the inclusion of that single reference was famously booed by many delegates at the Democratic convention. In contrast, the Republican Party Platform contains 12 references to “God,” and candidate Romney has emphatically stated, “I will not take God out of the name of our platform. I will not take God off our coins and I will not take God out of my heart. We’re a nation that’s bestowed by God.” Does this make the GOP the party of God? ... more
• God and Jerusalem Fri Sep 14
  Thomas Sowell
  Who would have thought that God and Jerusalem would become controversial issues at this year's Democratic National Convention? ... more
• The Ayes Have It... Or Do They? Wed Sep 12
  Ken Connor
  According to the breathless reviews of MSNBC correspondents and the like, the Democratic National Convention was a smashing success. With celebrity cameos, notable speeches by Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton, and Joe Biden, and a grand finale oration chock-full of the "hope and change" rhetoric that won Obama the White House in 2008, it was by all accounts a great week for Democrats. ... more
• Post Convention Thoughts Tue Sep 11
  Armstrong Williams
  The conventions are finally over. This week, Congress is back in session. One would hope that that would mean it’s policy time, not politics time in Washington. Unfortunately, that hope is just as vain as President Obama’s hope to lower the seas. The politicking will only intensify as we get closer to Election Day. ... more
• The Godless Democrats Mon Sep 10
  Matt Barber
  But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven. (Matthew 10:33) Are you a believer? I’m not asking if you’re a Democrat, a Republican or an independent. I’m asking if you believe in God. ... more
• Politics and the G-word Sun Sep 9
  Jeff Jacoby
  WHEN I LEARNED last Tuesday that Democrats, breaking with past practice, had dropped the word "God" from their party platform, I dispatched a message via Twitter: "God is mentioned in the 2004 Democratic platform 7 times. ... more
• An alternative to Democrats' moral bankruptcy Sat Sep 8
  Star Parker
  Maybe Democrats have some slick salesmen, like Bill Clinton and our current president, who can sell you swampland and have you convinced that you've bought choice beachfront property. ... more
• The DNC in Five Numbers Fri Sep 7
  Guy Benson
• Democratic Platform Calls for More Gun Control, Omits Awkward Reference to “What Works in Chicago” Fri Sep 7
  Leah Barkoukis
• Unforced Errors Fri Sep 7
  Rich Galen
  This is going to be an ugly column. Pure partisan smirking and finger pointing. If you are looking for high-minded, lofty thoughts, hit the delete key now. ... more
• Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem Fri Sep 7
  Michael Brown
  We all know about the shocking, Democratic waffling on the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s (undivided) capital in the current party platform. But there’s another important issue that no one seems to be talking about: If Jerusalem is really Israel’s capital, why haven’t we moved our embassy there? ... more
