What the Democrats Believe

Since I've posted what Republicans believe, it's only fair that I should post what Democrats believe.



We in the Democratic Party believe, above everything else, in the absolute right of any woman to have an abortion at any point in the pregnancy for any reason with absolutely no restrictions whatsoever. We will oppose any regulation of any kind on abortion facilities. This is the one belief we have which is not negotiable under any circumstances. Abortion now. Abortion tomorrow. Abortion forever.

We believe any female has the absolute right to contraception, even if the female is a minor. We believe that to protect their privacy, children should be the sole arbiters of what is in their own best interest. We believe privacy rights trump all other rights.

We believe that government has a compelling interest in promoting racial diversity, and that this compelling interest overrides the so-called “rights” of parents to make educational decisions for their children. Parents have shown a tendency to segregate on the basis of race and therefore must abrogate their rights to the government.

We believe the Constitution protects the rights of homosexuals to get married, even if the people or their elected representatives vote otherwise. We also believe that all people have the Constitutional right to express their sexuality in any way they see fit.

We believe in the endemic racism of Caucasians. We believe this racism will never end and as such the government has a responsibility to enact affirmative action programs. Therefore government agencies at all levels have the right and the responsibility to make decisions based on the ethnic background of individuals.

We believe the capitalistic system is inherently unfair and unjust, particularly towards women and racial minorities. Therefore, we believe the poor are entitled to government benefits and are under no obligation to do anything to alleviate their own poverty.

We believe in the sanctity of the Social Security system as it exists today. We oppose any efforts to privatize the system due to the inherent inequity in capitalism.

We believe that the United States military is the greatest threat to world peace. We will work to weaken the military at all levels to ensure it cannot be used against sovereign nations.

We believe that the United Nations is the only hope for world stability. We completely support any UN attempts to interfere with American national interests.

We believe the threat of so-called “Islamic” terrorists is exaggerated and that terrorism, if it exists, is a law-enforcement issue.

We believe that teachers and educational professionals are the only people capable of making educational decisions. Teachers have the absolute right to teach whatever they wish, no matter what religious or moral objections the parents may have (unless the parents are Wiccans, atheists, or Muslims). We oppose merit pay for teachers. No teacher is better than another.
