Democratic Party drops "God" in its platform

Democratic Party drops "God" in its platform
From the Huffington Post.

Quote:In an interview broadcast tonight, CNN asked Obama adviser Robert Gibbs about the DNC platform dropping the word "God," which has been included in previous platforms.

The question, which asked if it was a deliberate decision to drop the word, was somewhat dodged by Gibbs. He said the platform mentions "faith and religion" and cited the "thousands of God-fearing Democrats in this building here tonight."

Since the platform was released, the lack of the word "God" has become a rallying cry among some conservatives, especially those who believe that the Obama administration is unfriendly to religion. The Republican platform, released last week, made at least a dozen references to God and included a section on religious liberty.

So as usual the conservatives refuse to budge from old, tired, archaic ideas, the democrats are trying to appease everyone but are finally ceasing the tired mantra of "god god god" that this country has been obsessed with for some reason for the last century or so, the republicans refuse to be appeased, and also dick-snakes.
