Because We Enjoy The Challenge Of Government.

"The simple fact is this building is private property, and the owners have a right to use the building as a house of worship," Bloomberg said. "The government has no right whatsoever to deny that right."

That's what the Country Club set said when the Blacks, Women, Jews, Irish and their ilk wanted to exercise their rights to opportunity.  It really frosts me that the Democratic Party, whose "credo" was revised in 2007, has no time for the very things it proclaimed were their reason for governing.  According to them:  http://www.springfield-democrats.org/credo

Why We Are Democrats

Our Founder, Thomas JeffersonFrom The Charter & The Bylaws of the Democratic Party of the United States, as amended by the Democratic National Committee, February 3, 2007:
Section 17. Democratic Party Credo.

We Democrats are the oldest political party in America and the youngest in spirit. We will remain so, because we enjoy the challenge of government.
Time and again, for almost two centuries, the Democratic Party has made government work -- to build and defend a nation, to encourage commerce, to educate our children, to promote equal opportunity, to advance science and industry, to support the arts and humanities, to restore the land, to develop and conserve our human and natural resources, to preserve and enhance our built environment, to relieve poverty, to explore space. We have reached difficult and vital goals.
We recognize that the capacity of government is limited but we regard democratic government as a force for good and a source of hope.
At the heart of our party lies a fundamental conviction, that Americans must not only be free, but they must live in a fair society.
We believe it is the responsibility of government to help us achieve this fair society.
  • A society where the elderly and the disabled can lead lives of dignity and where Social Security remains an unshakable commitment;
  • A society where all people can find jobs in a growing full-employment economy;
  • A society where all workers are guaranteed without question the legal right to join unions of their own choosing and to bargain collectively for decent wages and conditions of employment;
  • A society where taxes are clearly based on ability to pay;
  • A society where the equal rights of women are guaranteed in the Constitution;
  • A society where the civil rights of minorities are fully secured and where no one is denied the opportunity for a better life;
  • A society where both public and private discrimination based upon race, sex, age, color, creed, national origin, religion, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, economic status, philosophical persuasion or physical disability are condemned and where our government moves aggressively to end such discrimination through lawful means;
  • A society where we recognize that the strengthening of the family and the protection of children are essential to the health of the nation;
  • A society where a sound education, proper nutrition, quality medical care, affordable housing, safe streets and a healthy environment are possible for every citizen;
  • A society where the livelihoods of our family farmers are as stable as the values they instill in the American character;
  • A society where a strong national defense is a common effort, where promoting human rights is a basic value of our foreign policy, and where we ensure that future by ending the nuclear arms race.
This is our purpose and our promise.  

So, WHY aren't these things happening?  Why can't these guys do what they SAY they are organized to DO?  The President is WAY more about his black half, his Muslim persuasion, than he'll ever be about being an American.  

Psssst!!! White House:  When we say we enjoy the challenge, it means we take responsibility, not we blame Bush.  We relish the hard work and the sight of us getting it done wins the polls.
