The Sunday
before the DNC, over 9000 people had come together to pray for the convention.
Then, wanting to extend hospitality to the visitors to their city, 56 of the
churches set out to "Adopt-a-Delegation." They put together gift baskets
featuring Carolina Pralines and a letter welcoming them to the city and offering
assistance in transportation, childcare or spiritual matters.
According to
writer, Todd Starnes, The DNC banned the churches from distributing the gift
baskets to delegates because, DNC said, the congregations hold values that are
contrary to the party platform. Read
that carefully.
David Benham,
one of the organizers of the outreach said, "We were just trying to display
Southern hospitality." DNC officials, however, conveyed to city leaders that the
Christians would not be allowed to present their gift baskets. Even the
Charlotte Mayor's office jumped in to tell the churches not to participate,
saying that their views on women's rights are contrary to the platform. That's
right..the same platform that booed God later.
Benham then
asked if they could send welcome letters to the delegates. Again, the DNC
refused, because, they said, "The churches hold pro-life
values."
The baskets did
not contain a single political or pro-life message. They just wanted to give
them regional candles and a welcome letter. The DNC refused to return numerous
phone calls seeking comment. But it gets
worse. When a
gathering of 200 Muslims showed up to pray for the convention, the Dems welcomed
them with open arms and the liberal media gave extensive national
coverage.
It is ironic
that this day, in the shadow of that Islamic prayer event, we commemorate the
greatest tragedy in American History, when Muslims attacked America on
September 11,
2001, brutally
killing thousands of innocent people. Muslims who publicly state their hatred of
our country with fierce determination to kill us all and put America under
Sharia Law, are welcomed by the Democratic Party while Christians are pushed out
of sight like criminals because they respect life and hold family
values.
These are the
same democrats who want you to vote them into office to direct the
United States of
America and every life
from beginning to end. It is obvious that we must not let this
happen.
Our thanks to
Rev. Ed Berkey (retired) who alerted us to this
story.
