There has been a lot written lately about the Democrats embracing the Christian right in order to erode some of the Republican base. When you take a look at the morality and ethics of the left, I don’t know how any Christian could ever support them. Most of the liberal Democrats continually scorn and ridicule Christian values and ideals.
The Democratic Party of the 1930s and '40s was in many ways the natural home of American Christians. Patriotic and the self-proclaimed champion of the common man, it appealed strongly to millions of working-class, first- and second-generation immigrants who had proudly embraced their new home in America. But it also stood for the Christian morals that both Catholics and Protestants respected - as well as a respect for the rights of property, and a staunch opposition to communism and socialism, that members of the Clergy enunciated. But all that changed in the 1960's, with the rise of a new kind of Democrat: wealthy, secular, ideological. So complete this transformation has been that we no longer speak of a natural alliance between Christians and the Democratic Party. It is instead, a total dichotomy of values.
