9. We are for the most part liberal progressive Democrats.

We are NOT white evangelical "anyone-who-says-he-is-Republican" supporters.


Roughly eight-in-ten (79%) African Americans self-identify as Christian, as do seven-in-ten whites and 77% of Latinos, according to Pew Research Center’s 2014 Religious Landscape Study. Most black Christians and about half of all African Americans (53%) are associated with historically black Protestant churches, according to the study. Smaller shares of African Americans identify with evangelical Protestantism (14%), Catholicism (5%), mainline Protestantism (4%) and Islam (2%).

We need to be mindful of our friends when we bash entire classes of people based on their religion (which would seem to be an unnecessary reminder on a liberal progressive Democratic website ).

Anyone noticed how even Bill Maher has toned it down?
