Barack Obama intervenes and the new Democrat Party platform which at first excluded references to God and that also excluded the statement which said Jerusalem is the capital of Israel has been reversed. Obama is said to have questioned why references to God and Jerusalem were removed from the party platform to begin with. The Democrat Party platform has reinstated its references to God and Jerusalem.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !!!!!!!!

Hallelujah! I know where we live and with whom. But that doesn't mean I want to have a president who wears magic underpants. So I'm glad Obama is doing what is necessary to be electable. The alternative would truly be repugnant.

Yeah but A Theist should admire that. He is exactly the same way.

I wonder why.Because we strongly support the Jewish state and we stand with Israel. As far as we're concerned, Jerusalem is Israel's capital.
In exactly the same way that the United States is God's chosen land.

What the fuck happened to democracy?
We need help with that. I'm hoping some first world countries will send observers to attest to our actual election being done legitimately. Obviously neither party is capable left to their own devices. The republicans are worse since they not only seek to maximize the number voting for their candidate but also to minimize the number voting against them by removing their right to vote.

Politicians will of course say something along the lines of "Israel is important for the spread of democracy in the Middle East", but the reason I gave is precisely why Israel is so vital to the interests of the religious right.
You're right, if democracy had anything to do with it we'd try it at home.
