Democrats versus Christians

The Other McCain asks Why Do Democrats Hate Christians?

Make no mistake; it isn't religion they hate. It is Christianity.

This post is not going to be one of those “look-what-the-crazy-liberal-said” exercises, as enough such work has already been done on podcaster Jennifer Welch’s most recent outburst. Sure, I’ll quote what Welch said, but my point here is to explain why she said it.

And there is a bit of historical irony in their hatred of Christians.

There is a deep irony in the Democratic Party’s demonization of “white evangelical Christians” because, of course, the whole reason this phenomenon gained national attention in the first place was that, in 1976, a Georgia Baptist named Jimmy Carter ran for president and made his “born again” faith front-and-center in his campaign.

Though after Nixon and Ford (people seem to have forgotten Agnew), people were going to vote for anyone who wasn't a Republican. Which gave us, perhaps, the 3 worst President in history. Carter was the 2nd worst in my lifetime. (I can't speak to US Grant's Presidency, but from what I've read, he was awful.)

The Democrats will say horrible things about Christians, and the current batch are actively antisemitic, but won't say anything about Islam, in in the face of crimes committed. If you're Buddhist? They love you, though that seems to have fallen out of favor with the Hollywood crowd recently. There was a time, and not that long ago, it was the fad.
