Care to count the number of times words like "ass" and "s***" were used on
Network prime time 20 years ago compared to today? How about the number
of sexual references? You are dead wrong on this.

Again, dead wrong. The Democratic Party has engaged in a systematic purge
of all pro-lifers from their Party. Consider - when was the last
Pro-Life Democrat to speak at the Democratic National Convention? Or -
name the most prominent Pro-Life Democrat nationally? The Democratic
Party requires near-absolute fealty on opposition to partial birth
abortion, opposition to parental (or judicial) notification for minors, and
opposition to waiting periods.
Compare that to the number of pro-choicers who (albeit with some requisite
grumbling - but nevertheless overall with a strong welcome) spoke at the
Republican National Convention.
