Some say the Democrat National Convention started off with a bang the other evening. Others say it was more like a thud. The fairly loud buzz has to do with a kick off video produced by the host city of Charlotte entitled "Welcome To Charlotte". In the video the narrator makes the statement, "Government is the only thing we all belong to". Mitt Romney immediately jumped on the statement and tweeted, "We don't belong to the government, the government belongs to us". An Obama aide followed that up with an email stating, "the Charlotte host committee, not the Obama campaign, produced the video. Pundits have called the video a disaster, a blunder, and down right creepy in light of the fact that any reference to "God" has been dropped from the official Democrat Party Platform.
Make no mistake, this is what November 6th is all about. The Democrat's message is, we "BELONG" to the government and the Republican's message is, the government "BELONGS" to us.
And if you read this blog on a regular basis, perhaps all this sounds vaguely familiar. Last month I posted a quote by a well respected Democrat from the not too distant past, and I said it was what November 6th is all about...
"The central conservative truth is that it is culture, not politics, that determines the success of a society. The central liberal truth is that politics, can change a culture and save it from itself."
- Daniel Patrick Moynihan
When the day comes that any and all references to "God" are dropped completely by our government, that is the day we will "BELONG" to the government and it will no longer belong to "US".
UPDATE: After massive public backlash, Democrats have put God back in their platform.
