As late as the 1960s, religion was a decidedly nonpartisan affair in the United States. In the past forty years, however, despite abundant evidence that Americans care about their candidates' personal faith, Democrats have beat a retreat in the competition for religious voters and the discussion of morality, effectively ceding religion to the Republicans. Elections show that voters have gotten the message: Democrats are on the wrong side of the God gap. With unprecedented access to politicians, campaign advisers, and religious leaders, Amy Sullivan skillfully traces the Democratic Party's fall from grace among religious voters, showing how the party lost its primacy -- and maybe its soul -- in the process. It's a story that begins with the party's ineffectual response to the rise of the religious right and culminates with John Kerry's defeat in the 2004 presidential election. Sullivan documents key turning points along the way, such as the party's alienation of Catholics on the abortion issue and its failure to emulate Bill Clinton's success at reaching religious voters. She demonstrates that there was nothing inevitable about the defection of values voters to the GOP and the emergence of the God gap: it was not just a Republican achievement but the Democrats' failure to embrace their own faith and engage religious Americans on social issues. Sullivan's story has a hopeful ending. She takes readers behind the scenes of the Democrats' recent religious turnaround. She offers insight into the ways Democrats have reoriented their campaigns to appeal to religious voters -- including their successes at framing the abortion issue in less-divisive terms and at finding common ground with evangelical leaders and communities. Timely, informative, and immensely thought-provoking, The Party Faithful is a tough and revealing analysis of the Democratic Party's relationship to religion and an essential primer for evaluating the outcome of the 2008 presidential election.

There is little doubt that God is not a Democrat favorite. There are many reasons why Democrats hate God including the obvious that some Democrats are atheists. Another big reason in the last two years according to a number of popular preachers has something to do with God selecting Donald Trump to Save America and Americans. By now, those of us who like what Trump is doing for America know that Mr. Trump was sent from God as the people's answer to deep anti-establishment anger and discontent and also as a beacon for goodness. Since Democrats hate Trump, having God as the reason for Trump is reason enough for Democrats to hate God. "Millions of Americans." declared Dallas megachurch pastor Robert Jeffries in 2017, "believe the election of President Trump represented God giving us another chance-perhaps our last chance-to truly make America great again. Our job was to elect him once God showed us the way." We thank Our Lord to this day that we did. You can bet than any Democrat listening to Jeffries was seething. Christian Leaders prophesied before the election that God had raised up Donald Trump to lead the nation through a time of crisis. This gave Democrats another reason to hate God because as the world knows, they already hated Trump. Donald Trump got elected because someone such as God or a legion of Guardian Angels whispered in the individual ears of millions of Americans. The voice(s) said that together in the 20016 election, the people would make a difference, and then God gave Donald Trump to America to be that difference. The people trusted this self-made Billionaire to do what was best for America and not the bidding of slimy politicians or political donors and hacks. This drove Democrats and allies in the Swamp nuts and it caused intense hate for Trump among them. The Democrats and the establishment also began to stoke up their hate for the people who supported Trump-the ne'er-do-wells from the basket of deplorables. All were connected to God and so the hate for God became widespread among the Democrats. For the people looking for an end to progressive rule, Donald Trump was the only candidate for president who offered Americans a breath of fresh air. The people had had enough of the stodgy, bossy, establishment elites in both the Democratic and Republican Parties. Trump defied the status quo of rich donors controlling the government for their personal benefit. Donald Trump became a great gift from God himself. As the hate for Trump began to boil, the Democrat's hate for God increased in parallel. You are going to love this book. It explains in simple terms why Democrats hate God so much.

Written in a narrative/treatise format, each treatise looks at what policies the Democrat party supports, or how they oppose the policies of the Republican Party and President Trump in particular. Each treatise references God's Law, and how, if we follow the dictates of the Democrat party, we consign our souls to the Devil.

If Jesus were alive today, would he: Feed the poor-or cut free school lunch programs? Comfort the old and infirm-or eliminate Social Security? Turn the other cheek-or invade Iraq? In this groundbreaking book, noted author and theologian Linda Seger, Th.D., explores what it means to be a Christian and a Democrat-and shows how the two are not mutually exclusive (as many Republicans claim), but rather inclusive. She reveals the close relationship between Democratic policy and Jesus's teachings-and the many ways in which the values Jesus espouses in the Bible correspond to the values Democrats call their own. The idea that America's real Christians are all Republicans is just that - an idea, and an indefensible, divisive one at that. Jesus Rode a Donkey is a call to Christians everywhere to remember that Jesus was a liberal, who rode a donkey through the streets of Jerusalem-not an elephant.
