First things first. It should be noted that the terminology has been sugarcoated and sanitized by Gallup. Liberal really means Socialist, but for the sake of their piece, this post will use their incorrect terminology.

Modern American liberalism is a form of liberalism developed from progressive ideals such as Theodore Roosevelt’s New Nationalism, Woodrow Wilson’s New Freedom, Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, John F. Kennedy’s New Frontier, and Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society. It combines social liberalism and social progressivism with support for a welfare state and a mixed economy.

To put it quite simply, the modern term “liberal” defines socialism. How many times have I said they aren’t Democrats anymore, they’re socialists? I rest my case.

PRINCETON, NJ — In many respects, the demographic profile of Democrats nationwide is similar to what it was in 2008, although Democrats have become somewhat less white and more liberal than the party that nominated Barack Obama as its presidential candidate that year. As a group, Democrats are more likely than average to be women and nonwhite, less likely to be religious or married, much less likely to be conservative, and much more likely to be liberal than the U.S. population as a whole.

These results are based on a special Gallup analysis of the demographic and ideological composition of the U.S. population today (based on Gallup Daily tracking from June-August 2011) versus the start of 2008 presidential election campaign (from January-March)…

Perhaps the most significant change in the composition of Democrats between 2008 and today is the two-point increase, from 35% to 37%, in the percentage describing their political views as “liberal.” This occurred at a time when the country as a whole became slightly more conservative, thus expanding the political gap between Democrats and the rest of the U.S.

The change coincides with the decline in Democrat affiliation in recent years, and it may be that moderate or conservative Americans were less well-attached to the Democrat Party and were the first to shift their allegiance — thus leaving a higher concentration of political liberals among those who continue to align with the party.

Democrats remain less likely to attend church weekly and more likely to seldom or never attend church than the national average.

The proportion of Democrats who are Catholic or who identify with a non-Christian religion declined slightly between 2008 and 2011, while the percentage not identifying with any faith increased by four percentage points.

Democrats are significantly less likely than the U.S. population as a whole to be married.

Gallup finds relatively little change in the demographic composition of either major party’s supporters since 2008, even though the nation has become less Democrat, and more Republican and independent overall. All in all, Democrats remain decidedly less white, more female, more liberal, less religious, and less likely to be married than the general population.

Liberals and nonwhites have come to make up a slightly greater percentage of the Democrat base since 2008, perhaps indicating that the decline in Democrat affiliation since 2009 was proportionately greater among conservatives and whites.

Read it all.

And now we have that imbecile Vice President Joe Biden, in his speeches claiming “This isn’t your parents Republican Party anymore, they’re extremists.” What is the truth I keep telling you about Democrats and the left? Whatever they accuse the other side of, they themselves are guilty of it. As usual, the evidence, data and facts show that it is the Democrat Party that has become radicalized and extreme, not the Republican Party.

Just the most recent example of them joining the American Nazi Party, the Socialist Party USA and the Communist Party USA in support of the Occupy Movement should tell you that.
