"Leftists love to whine about wedge issues, even as they create wedge issues all the time. Their real concern is when conservatives fight back. It is time to fight back. It is time to ask Americans if they want a government based upon their sovereignty and their faith in a Blessed Creator or if they want a government based upon the sovereignty of judges and other bureaucrats and their faith in atheism. If the question is asked, the good guys - that’s us - will win. Let’s ask.

Go tell it on the mountain brother!

This did not at first appear to be a wedge issue, and in a sane and rational world, it would not have been. But there is an underlying fissure in the politics of America, and this wedge just might open a broad differentiation, dividing the sheep from the goats.

I think it's a terrible mistake to politicize Gibson's film.

[GulliverSwift]

I highly doubt that a movie released in February will have an impact in November.

These are important do's, but here's a very important don't: Do not fall victim to the media assertion that the voters don't like candidates who attack their opponants. Kerry's leftist agenda and radical voting record are fair game to most voters.

All conservatives understand that we are in a “culture war” with the left, and that this war has been going on for some time – for the better part of a generation. But it isn’t so much a culture war as it is a spiritual war – and, frankly, I believe that the wider spiritual war going on in our society has allied some on both the left and the right against the influence of faith in God in our society. To wage spiritual warfare requires using the weapons of faith – the recognition that there is a power above and outside of ourselves to whom we all owe allegiance. President Bush is probably the most sincere and public believer in God we’ve had in the White House. We live in dark days, and simple ideology will not get us through them. The light of honest and real faith in God, bringing God back as a foundational value of our society, will, more than any political philosophy, dispel the darkness. This is an important aspect of what President Bush brings to the Presidency. That's why the real issues behind this election (issues which will not be mentioned openly) are spiritual issues, not so much issues of policy, ideology, personality, or party.

The assumption here is that all conservatives are religious and all liberals are not. And that's incorrect.

SPOTREP - ELECTION 2004 - BUSH - THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST

[RightWhale]

Passion may be viewed as a strong response to WTC911. It is war, total war. War fought in the postmodern style of corporate packaged culture. The battlegrounds are aesthetics and symbolism through semiotics. The weapon is art.

> President Bush begin the refrain "I am a conservative and my opponent is a liberal." <

Well, half of that statement is true (the liberal part).

[Jim Noble]

The wedge issue is, "Is the American state legitimate?"

If you answer yes, it is, the next question is, do you acknowledge that Men are created, that their Creator exists and endows them with rights, and that governments are instituted among Men to secure those rights as the Creator intended?

If you answer "yes", you're on the right side.

If, however, you don't believe any of this Creator and government stuff-then what possible basis to you claim for the American state to rule?

Would that his analysis be true. If GW started down the Church/state road this author is recommending, he would lose the election in landslide proportion. The electorate is inarguably philosophically Conservative but as inarguably operationally liberal.

A people truly jealous of their liberty would have never allowed government to grow to the size it's become. NEVER! Additionally, any people jealous of their liberty would have started dragging judges by the collars of their polyester robes down the flight of stairs leading to Halls of Justice, nationwide, decades ago.

The only way his assertion becomes vital is if GW can mobilize that part of the electorate that usually doesn't vote to vote his way.

[SedVictaCatoni]

The Republican Platform ask for a constitutional amendment that requires the words "Under God" be included in the Pledge of Allegiance, that the phrase "In God We Trust" be on all American currency and coins, and that the existing references to God in our national anthem remain.

Wow, that's a great idea. I further propose the following additional amendment:

Amendment XXIX

Section 1. The twenty-third day of May shall be known as National Pickle Day.

Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

[Blood of Tyrants]

As Rush says, the only way that liberals get elected is by fooling the people into believe that they aren't liberal.

BUMP!
