If you have not realized it yet, the Democratic Party has lost its mind. It is so enthralled with doing what is politically expedient, they will deny G-d a place at the table, they will remove their support of Israel to designate its own capital and they will allow an illegal immigrant (aka law breaker) to speak at the nomination of their candidate.
They tried to erase the first two problems with a proposal to change the platform to put G-d back in the platform and to support the idea of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. However, the vote on this change made a mockery of the "democratic" process. Under Democratic Convention rules it takes a 2/3 majority to pass a change to the platform. Three votes were taken by acclamation and if anything they were split equally, far away from the requirement. However, the Chairman of the convention, finally decided that after the third vote that there was enough support to say the changes were adopted.
The damage had been done, it was clear the proponents did not have enough support to pass the changes but the rule of one man, made it so. So much for democracy. We thought these guys and gals were all for democracy, guess we are wrong again.
Having a unrepentant law breaker speak at the Convention was a travesty. Since when do we honor someone with the great privilege of speaking, when their very presence is against the law? Today, under current law, anyone here illegally is an illegal alien and should be deported. Why this glorious reward?
We believe is that the Democratic Party has lost its soul in an attempt to win votes. They will say anything, do anything to curry favor with fringe groups to they might win the election. Winning is all that counts anymore! They have no morals, anything can be done for the vote.
They will sell out anyone, any group or any country if the votes are not there. Or they will take any position, support any group where they might garner more votes, regardless of its moral or ethical implications' So much for "doing what is in the best interests of the country." We believe that if Democratic Party thought they would get more votes, they would support mass murder of American citizens.
These are not pretty sights, seeing a major party lose its way. Hopefully, they will regain some of their moorings but we believe those chances are poor.

Illegal Immigrant Speaks at Democratic National Convention

(CNSNews.com) – Illegal immigrant activist Benita Veliz was given a prime-time speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Charlotte, North Carolina on Wednesday night, where she championed President Barack Obama’s recent decision to stop enforcing certain aspects of immigration law.
Veliz, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, gave a short address to the convention audience, and then introduced Telemundo talk-show host Cristina Saralegui.
In her speech, Veliz claimed to be “from San Antonio, Texas,” saying that she was “like so many Americans.”
“My name is Benita Veliz and I’m from San Antonio, Texas. Like so many Americans, of all races and backgrounds, I was brought here as a child,” Veliz said. “I’ve been here ever since.”
However, her profile on the activist website dreamactivist.org reveals that she came to the United States from Mexico at age 8 on a tourist visa and that her family then illegally overstayed.
Beliz was profiled in a March 2009 editorial in the New York Times after she launched a public campaign to prevent her deportation after she was arrested in Texas, caught driving without a license. The Times editorial stated that Veliz had an ID card issued by the Mexican consulate.
Beliz has been an activist for the DREAM Act – a proposed law that would allow illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children to be granted legal status if they go to college or serve in the military – since college, where she wrote her honors thesis on the legislation, according to the Times.
“I know I have something to contribute to my economy and my country,” Veliz said on Wednesday, referring to America, not Mexico. “I feel just as American as any of my friends or neighbors.”
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), which opposes illegal immigration, called Veliz’s appearance in Charlotte a “celebration of lawlessness.”
“In choosing to have someone who defiantly remains present in the United States in violation of federal law address the convention during prime time is nothing more than a celebration of lawlessness,” FAIR President Dan Stein said in a press release.
According to a press release from the illegal immigration activist group United We Dream (UWD), Veliz successfully fought deportation after UWD organized a petition drive to pressure the Department of Homeland Security. Despite avoiding deportation, Veliz remained an illegal immigrant.
