Dems Demonize the Religious
Kevin Starr contributes a great piece to The L.A. Times. Key quote:
[N]ow the Democratic Party elite — the activists, the pundits, the big-bucks donors — have succeeded in pitting social democracy against the very values (one is tempted to say the very people) that gave rise to social democracy in the first place.
They have a big problem that's not easily fixed -- namely, that a very large and vocal constituency within the Democratic Party consists of secularist zealots, the type of people who would welcome the removal of "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance.
