Recent comments by liberal Democrats give unfettered insight into just how absurd and vacuous their words and values are. Democrat National Committee Chairman Howard Dean told National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" that homosexual marriage and abortion are not Democrat issues, they are Republican issues.

If Dean meant conservatives take issue with adult men kissing and groping one another at Walt Disney World and baseball games, and the wanton, willful murder of children, Dean is right – we do have issues. The very fact that liberal Democrats do not speaks volumes about their values, or rather lack thereof.

Dean asserted "The Democrats [were] not the party of homosexual marriage" and [they] certainly "aren't the party of abortion." (NPR's Morning Edition, June 3, 2005) To which I can only respond, short of being certifiable, high on LSD or some similar hallucinogen, there is no way anyone can make such a statement with a straight face.

The Democrat Party is precisely the party of homosexual marriage. Homosexual marriage is one of the main reasons given by black clergy and their congregants for leaving the party. If they are not the party of abortion, why is Planned Parenthood, NARAL and every other "keep abortion legal group" under the sun supporting them and telling them which judicial nominees to oppose?
CNS News reported Ralph Neas of People For the American Way told a liberal conference:

His comments were a thinly veiled heterodoxy directed toward women and blacks. But it is his ignorance of history coupled with his willingness to distort and mislead that is appalling. Neas was, of course, referring in part to the New Deal, but it is important to note that 70 years ago, conservatives and blacks viewed things differently than liberals would lead people to believe. The Republican Party at their convention in 1936 declared:

We favor equal opportunity for our colored citizens. We pledge our protection of their economic status and personal safety. We will do our best to further their employment in the gainfully occupied life of America, particularly in private industry, agriculture, emergency agencies and civil service. We condemn the present New Deal policies which would regiment and ultimately eliminate the colored citizen from the country's productive life and make him solely a ward of the federal government.

It is also significant to note this was the time of Margaret Sanger – the patron saint and founder of Planned Parenthood – who was advocating the systematic slaughter of children she classified as coming from parents who were, in her eyes, unfit. Sanger was advocating a new type of "philanthropy." Sanger's "philanthropy" would not be in the form of aid, but rather in eliminating the world of its great "menace," that being what she viewed as the "[imbalance] between the birth rate of [those she saw as] 'unfit' and the 'fit.'"
In Sanger's mind, "Traditional philanthropy ... [encouraged] the perpetuation of defectives, delinquents and dependents ... who were the most devastating curse on human progress and expression." True charity, by contrast, should not coddle and perpetuate this "dead weight of human waste," but weed out these undesirables at the source through birth control" – i.e., euthanasia, abortion and "forced sterilization" when necessary.

The aforementioned is the true and factual history that Neas, Dean and the rest of "liberaldom" do not want you to know. When Neas and his "shadow," Wade Henderson, executive director of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights speak of "rights, liberties and freedoms, one should know and understand just what it is they are clandestinely saying.
True rights, liberties and freedoms are those found in the Bill of Rights and Constitution, not those some clever manipulator of established truth convinces an activist judge to change; not because the original ones are wrong, but because they do not fit the interest of a minority, who, without said judge acting as an accomplice, they cannot hope to promote legislatively.
Not long ago, a young lady shared she found debating liberals an effort in futility because they never debated or offered verifiable facts to support their claims. They simply said "whatever" and if you didn't agree with them, then you were stupid or not as informed as they – a very astute observation on her part.
