The democratic party is morally superior to that of the republican party

You're right, we were founded on the ideas of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Those are among the Judeo-Christian values that were the base for our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. I think if you were to read the Declaration of Independence, you would come to the conclusion that our country is based upon Biblical (Judeo-Christian) values. But, our debate is about which party is morally superior so I'll return to that. One thing that is important here, is to define morals. How can we argue over which party is morally superior without first making sure we agree on what morals are. I think morals are a set of positive values which are derived from a higher power. In other words, how we are supposed to act based on the word of God. However, some people would argue that morals are decided by us, the current generations of people. That morals are just common sense, we don't need God to know how which values to hold. Heck! there might not even be a God. Maybe you think morals are something else, I don't know. Some of my arguments will only hold, if we're using the first definition of morals. If not, even using the second definition, there are still many arguments that will hold against the morality of the Democrat party. It seems that the Democrats of today do not understand what the separation of church and state is. It doesn't mean that were supposed to push God or religion out of public life. Democrats seem to think that the establishment clause ("Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion") means that we need to have a secular government. That thought is obviously untrue because America's conception of rights is dependent upon a higher set of morals than the laws of man. Again, a reading of the Declaration will show that the founders looked to God as the ultimate source of our rights. When Democrats try to do something as ridiculous as remove "one nation under God" from the pledge, it shows their hate for God. When they oppose a display of the ten commandments in the capital, when they want to remove a cross from the Mojave Desert, when they try to remove crosses from memorials, when they suggest that Catholics shouldn't serve in emergency rooms, their hate for God and religion shows. In 1963 Democrats in the Supreme Court banned school prayer. It had a bad effect on American youth, but it shows how their attitude on God is far from what the founders envisioned. You stated, like many Democrats that you would like homosexuals/gays to be able to marry. This is an easy one to show the immorality of. God commanded man to be fruitful and multiply. This means that he should marry a woman and have children. Also the Bible says a man shall not lie with a man. Lastly there's a reason there are no "gay marriages" in the bible. So, even if you're right that the "pursuit of happiness" grants them the ability to marry, it is still immoral. I'm happy that you brought up LBJ. I think what he said 50 years ago describes well the thought process of modern Democrats, "I'll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years." The democrats treat blacks a little better than slaves. If any black strays from their leftist views they start calling names and attacking that person, their hidden racism comes out. They pretend that irresponsibly giving welfare to poor black communities helps them. In a few cases it does, but the Democrats try and make sure they are reliant on them for life. Its one way that they buy votes. Republicans want to give those that truly need it the help, and would like ultimately for them to have their own job and be self reliant. How did Robert Byrd become a Democratic senator? I think its because they share views with him. Republicans want to give education choices to low income families (commonly black or Hispanic.) They know that in order to get the best education possible, the parents should be able to choose a school. The Democrats are scared of giving up their hold on these peoples education, so they fight against school vouchers. You're telling me its moral for a woman to have the choice to abort her baby because of the pursuit of life, liberty, happiness. You said "We are not killing unborn babies, we are merely giving the right for a woman to have a child or not." How does the woman choose not to have a child? By killing it. So how is that not killing unborn babies? Committing an abortion ends a babies right to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. I agree that if the mother's life is endangered its ok, but it is wrong to do just because someone changed their mind. If you don't want the baby put her up for adaption. Babies in the womb can feel pain very early on. There have been quite a few experts that confirmed this. Here's what surgeon Robert P. N. Shearin said about the matter, "As early as eight to ten weeks after conception, and definitely by thirteen-and-a-half weeks, the unborn experiences organic pain". First, the unborn child's mouth, at eight weeks, then her hands at ten weeks, then her face, arms, and legs at eleven weeks become sensitive to touch. By thirteen-and-a-half weeks, she responds to pain at all levels of her nervous system in an integrated response which cannot be termed a mere reflex. She can now experience pain." Chopping up a baby and sucking out of a woman (as done in D&E abortions) is disgusting and appalling. So I think the more moral thing to do is make the child available to be adopted, if its unwanted. The "pro-choice" garbage by democrats is ridiculous. They are ending the babies choice as to if it wants to live or not. The Democrats are not taking from the wealthy and giving to the poor because they care. They're buying votes. If they really cared about the poor they'd help the find a job. Instead of encouraging a good work ethic they unquestioningly give hand-outs. We already know right wingers give a higher percent of their money in charity, leftists just want to give out other people's money through big government. As I explained freedom of religion is not freedom FROM religion.
