A SHOCKING image of a blood-spattered President Bush devouring a headless child is causing an uproar. The drawing by sculptor Richard Serra, based on a painting by Goya, is being used to promote pleasevote.com, billed as "a call to vote the Bush administration out of office." It appears on the back cover of The Nation's July 5 issue. Ironically, Serra, a past recipient of NEA grants, was once praised by First Lady Laura Bush in a White House press release about one of his pieces at a Texas museum. His "Tilted Arc" once graced (or defaced) Federal Plaza in lower Manhattan until it was destroyed in 1989. Pundit Andrew Sullivan labeled the Bush image "an obscenity" and "simple demonization."
It amazes me how the democratic party has abandoned the legitimate concept of shame to embrace leftists who have none, including that alleged "centrist" Bill Clinton.
The democratic party is completely off the rails because it has embraced leftists and their anti-American agenda.
There is a real battle for the soul of this country going on now. Are we going to let the extremist views perpetrated by the likes of the ACLU succeed when they demand the cross be removed from the LA shield? Are we going to let the Judeo-Christian values this country was founded upon be superceded by the notion of "diversity" as defined by the likes of those who insist that we stand for an "inclusiveness" that robs us of the fundamental values and moral authority upon which America is based? Will we allow the ruse of the political correctness doctrine to destroy our ability to protect our shores and our countrymen from terrorists who seek to penetrate our borders and wreak the havoc of terrorism against us?
To me, these are the questions which define the upcoming election. The democrats, by embracing extremists, have defined themselves as cohorts in crime with the Left. It's time for the RNC and Bush campaign to start trumpeting the Left's own statements as proof of who they really are, and let Americans decide whether they want to be ruled by nebulous, feel-good ideology or by the defined guidance of a man ruled by principles understood by all.
