Christians versus fairies

In this opinion piece, Janet Albrechtsen hoes into the Democrats for their leader's attack on the idea of Christians in politics.

I knew a woman from a church I used to go to who used to be in the Democrats, and she was (and is) a Christian. Largely because of her I would have considered voting for the party. It was enough to make me take a serious look at their policies.

But nowadays about the only time I notice the Democrats is when they are campaigning for some anti-Christian initiative like getting rid of Scripture in schools. The internet poll they ran on this question earlier this year was a farce, and ended up getting pulled when they realized that too many Christians were voting in it. The results were never released.

Right...so you run a public poll to show people that you are interested in their opinions, you advertise its existence, and when you realize that the wrong sort of people are offering their opinions, you quietly hide both poll and results from public view.

On the evidence of this and of other statements I've read and heard from their current elected representatives, it seems to me that we are now dealing with a group of anti-Christian bigots. My former Democrat friend can hardly be impressed.
