Bush Unbound

"The evangelical churches became instruments of political organization. Ideology was enforced as theology, turning nonconformity into sin, and the faithful, following voter guides with biblical literalism, were shepherded to the polls as though to the rapture. White Protestants, especially in the South, especially married men, gave their souls and votes for flag and cross."

If this ass knew half as much as he thinks he does he'd know twice as much as he really does.

Now, without constraints, Bush can pursue the dreams he campaigned for - the use of U.S. military might to bring "God's gift of freedom to the world, with no more "global tests," and at home the enactment of the imperatives of "the right God." The international system of collective security forged in World War II and tempered in the Cold War is a thing of the past. The Democratic Party, despite its best efforts, has failed to rein in the radicalism sweeping the country. The world is in a state of emergency but also irrelevant. The New World, with all its power and might, stepping forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old? Goodbye to all that."

And Sid accuses Republicans of fear-mongering. Of course, what evil doesn't limp little Sid accuse Republicans of? Where would little Sid be without his selfless role of explaining the dangers of life in America to everyone?

After reading this spokesman for the Clintonista New Democrat Third Way progressives anyone believing that there is a peaceful way to settle our differences is nuts. The right had better act to protect America's sovereignty while we have the power. The 2008 campaign has begun.

I thought I'd share my email exchange with the author.

Dear PTM,

Thanks for the career advice!

Best,
Matt

Hey Matt,

When you are that wrong about that many important
things, it is time to find a new job. One where you can be
at least a little competent.

What is it that allows a man to admit so many
misjudgments to go on and offer new predictions?

Even though majority opinion does not decide morality, I would have less of a problem with a state legislature considering the gay marriage issue with opportunity for public comment and then adopting it as law.

I agree, leave it to the legislatures, where they can be held accountable by the people.

Although it kills me how liberals always complain about losing their rights that are not expressed in the Constitution or Bill of Rights, yet they are always willing to take my guns away which is expressly stated in the 2nd Amendment.
