Senate Candidate: Homeschoolers, Pro-Lifers, Gun Owners Threaten American Values [/b]
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MZz-JAMGD6g/SOtSf-9iIcI/AAAAAAAAHzE/vTvy1oyzuAs/s1600-h/MarkWarner.jpgI haven't been following closely the Virginia senate race between Democrat Mark Warner and Republican Jim Gilmore (to replace the retiring Senator John Warner).
But I came across this clip this morning and found it startling. I found it startling not for what was said--because I hear Democrats saying things like this every day, just not ones running for office--but because someone was actually able to record it. Democrats--at least ones running for public office--are usually more circumspect about their true feelings like this.
In this clip, you'll hear Democrat Senate candidate Mark Warner tell a group
you're going to see a coalition that has just about completely taken over the Republican Party in this state and if they have their way, it's going to take over state government. It's made up of the Christian Coalition, it's made up of the right to lifers, it's made up of the NRA, it's made up of the homeschoolers, it's made up of a whole coalition of people that have all sorts of different views that I think most of us in this room would find threatening to what it means to be an American.
So Christianity is threatening to what it means to be an American?
So living out one's faith as if it really mattered is threatening to what it means to be an American?
So protecting innocent human life is threatening to what it means to be an American?
So defending the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is threatening to what it means to be an American?
So parents teaching their children, to preserve their moral center and ensure a quality education, is threatening to what it means to be an American?
Well, I guess I've been wrong all these years about what it means to be an American
And apparently the people who founded America were also wrong about what it means to be an American.
Because the kind of things Mark Warner finds repugnant and threatening to what it means to be an American...these are the kind of values the Founders held to be so deeply important.
It's interesting to know that people like me and people like the Founders didn't understand that being an American is really about total sexual license, denial of the Creator who gave us our rights, and total subservience to the state.
I'm glad Mark Warner set us straight on that.
It is very, very rare indeed to see a Democrat with the courage to tell us what they really believe, and set us straight on "what it means to be an American."
