A standard has been planted in our land, a beacon enabling us all to see the issues with clarity -- that "moral clarity" so popular after 9/11. And that standard is President Bush.
Mr. Bush has gone beyond being just a President or head of an
opposition party to being a living symbol of everything the secular
left hates -- God, Christianity, traditional values, free enterprise,
reason over emotion, and the military (especially for people John
Kerry's age). He embodies it all for them in a plain, unvarnished form
and they react in a livid, almost posessed way. The way some
of the Move On/Michael Moore Democrats react to him reminds me of the way
demons are supposed to react to the crucifix or holy water.
Not that he's in any way perfect or has made all the right
decisions -- I disagree with several -- but to me it's almost a
sacramental thing. It's as though he has been set up as one who
embodies and acts out these basic truths and people are almost
compelled to make their choice, for or against. I think Mr. Bush's
presence on the world stage has shown that the US is divided almost
50/50 between wheat and tares. And this time, the seed that was sown
on rocky ground seems to be showing that they are
withering away.
Although things are tightening up, indications are that the american people may be sick of "moral clarity." I hope not though. If Congress goes democrat in this
election and the Presidency in 2008, Bin Laden and his kind, who are
the forces of chaos in this world, just as they were in the Dark Ages,
will be able to walk all over us. And then it may be a bit too late to erect a new standard.
