Do the Democrats want to create a Theocracy ?
President Bush has been accused more than once here and other places of having a desire of creating a theocracy in the USA . Usually support for this claim is made by taking statements he has made completely out of context.
Based on that standard it is perfectly acceptable to make a similar claim that the Democrats want to establish their own theocracy . It is a well known fact that the Democrats repeastedly use the religious pulpit to do some of their most effective campaigning . Barak Obama is in the midst of what he calls "40 Days of Faith & Family";an effort to introduce South Carolina to how Obama's family life and faith have shaped his values.Playing the religion card ,he addressed the Redemption World Outreach Center church in Greenville SC this weekend .

Redemption World Outreach Center - Greenville, SC
This church doesn't have pastors ;it has Apostles .
During his address Obama said "We're going to keep on praising together. I am confident that we can create a Kingdom right here on Earth."
He also said ”These days, when people ask me, ‘What role does religion play in your work?’ – You’re running for president of the United States, the leader of the free world. What role does faith play? It plays every role.”When people work together, he said, there is "nothing that can stop us because that's God's intention."
Now I find nothing wrong with expressing these sentiments . In fact ;if this is genuine he moves up a peg in my book. Again ;I point this out because GWB has been raked over the coals for expressing the same.
But that isn't all !
San Fran Nan prays for President Bush to change his policies “all the time” .
Quote:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Sunday that she prays for President Bush to change his policies “all the time,” and has specifically prayed for him to sign legislation boosting heath insurance coverage for children.
"First of all, I pray for President Bush all the time, and I pray especially hard that he would sign the children's health bill because it's so important for America's children," Pelosi said on Fox News Sunday. "I pray that he makes the right decisions for the American people."
But she said she doesn't pray specifically "for a political outcome."
"We just pray that God's will will be done. We pray for the children, we pray for poor people, we pray for people who need help," she said. "And we always, always, always pray for our men and women in uniform who make our freedom to pray possible.”
Again ,nothing wrong with the sentiment . But when taken out of context like Bush's comments frequently are one can conclude that the Democrats have their eyes on their own theocracy . More likely however these are just cynical statements to court the social conservative voting block that some here think is growing in it's irrelevence.
