Way Down Deep The American People Are Afraid Of An Entangling Relationship Between Formal Religions - Or Whole Bodies Of Religious Belief - And Government. Apart From Constitutional Law And Religious Doctrine, There Is A Sense That Tells Us It's Wrong To Presume To Speak For God Or To Claim God's Sanction Of Our Particular Legislation And His Rejection Of All Other Positions.

It's An Old Story; It's As Old As Our History. The Difference Between Democrats And Republicans Has Always Been Measured In Courage And Confidence. The Republicans Believe That The Wagon Train Will Not Make It To The Frontier Unless Some Of The Old, Some Of The Young, Some Of The Weak, Are Left Behind By The Side Of The Trail. The Strong, The Strong They Tell Us, Will Inherit The Land. We Democrats Believe In Something Else. We Democrats Believe That We Can Make It All The Way With The Whole Family Intact, And We Have More Than Once.
