The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign (WDC) has been pushing democracy since 1995. Perhaps they don’t realize that the US is already a practicing democracy? Anyway, their little mission statement is cute:

We are a nonpartisan political watchdog group working for clean government and real democracy. To carry out this mission, WDC tracks the money in Wisconsin politics and works for campaign finance reform, media reform and other pro-democracy reforms.

Yeah, right … nonpartisan. Not according to the Alliance Defense Fund. Real democracy? Is that the democracy where everyone has a voice except the Christians?

It’s a group called the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign (WDC) that is requesting legal action against a Catholic parish in the state capital of Madison. The allegations of wrongdoing, though, are unfounded, according to Mike Johnson of the Alliance Defense Fund.

“The church,” he said, “issued a flier to its own members that said ‘A yes vote upholds the Catholic teaching that marriage is a union between a man and a woman.’ ”

Even though the flier was distributed after the service and outside the church, the WDC, which did not return calls seeking comment, is asking for “fitting penalties.”

A spokesman for American Values doesn’t buy into the nonpartisan bull either:

Kristi Hamrick, a spokeswoman for American Values, said groups like the WDC don’t want values voters to go to the polls Nov. 7.

“The purpose of this is to chill religious speech and to wipe it out of the marketplace of ideas,” she said. “That cannot be. This country was founded on those rights.”

Conservative commentator David Limbaugh told Family News in Focus if social conservatives fail to engage the electoral process, it could mean the redefinition of marriage, advances in abortion rights and a host of other cultural defeats.

“Don’t be duped into staying at home,” he said, “because if you do, you will have on your hands — on your conscience — the knowledge that you are contributing to the demise of this culture.”

Once again, I do not think Christian conservatives are as stupid as the liberal media is encouraging us to be. At least I’m not. It should be an interesting election.
