He habitually misquotes and misinterprets Scripture to sucker black congregants into believing he’s “religious,” he’s the dependent of a fabulously rich, bored woman, yet at the same time, tries to convince the naive and unmotivated that money and profit are evil and high taxes are good.
He’s got a certain group of people (which I believe is only a tiny minority) thinking that George Bush and other white conservatives want to suppress their votes. He’s a hypocrite and possibly a liar whose message changes with his audience. He’s a lackluster figure who inspires no one.
He protested the Vietnam war and ran on an anti-war-America-is-evil platform. This former protestor now wants to command the kind of men he despised. He’s surrounded by people who oppose national defense, yet they applaud his time in the killing fields.
While running for president he realized people felt safer with George Bush around, so like a shape shifter he dredges up his service in a war he hated and pulls out old pictures of men he once spat on. Suddenly he’s the proud “reporting for duty” veteran who saluted “Old Glory” on a lackluster and staged national stage.
Europeans, who the rest of us couldn’t care less about, love him, as do terrorists. While he and they are salivating for a victory, we wait patiently until this nightmare of an election season is over.
What if the unthinkable, dare I say implausible, were to happen? What if we wake up on November 3 and John Kerry is president of the United States?
The State of the Blog
After asking God for forgiveness and praying that his Kerry-as-President judgment forces conservatives and Christians out of complacency and into the public arena to defend what is right and good, I’ll blog on.
Writing is a hobby and passion I hope to parlay into professional gigs, and a liberal, pacifist, appeasement-oriented White House will only fuel my muse, as well as my anger about the decline of America. I’ll mourn for what we once were and will never be under a Kerry administration: strong and defiant in the face of the enemy and unashamed of our liberty and its blessings.
Joe over at Evangelical Outpost had a few predictions about post-election blogging:
After November 2nd, everything will change. Agendas and alliances will shift. Transfers of power will occur and new pecking orders will be established. Those who have influence will cede it to those who were lacking. A new order will be ushered in. These important changes will occur, not in Washington, but in the blogosphere.For a young medium, blogs have had a meteoric rise. Carried along by the tide of seismic world changes, blogs have had the ability to not only be the first draft but also the ongoing revision of history. In 2002 we had the new paradigm of terrorism. In 2003 we had the war in Iraq. In 2004 we had the campaign for the Presidency. What happens in 2005, though, if history begins to slow down?
Very interesting. Check it out.
Bill Clinton was a different sort of Democrat. He was a liberal, yes, but he was a smart liberal who knew how to “get along” with a Republican Congress. It’s been said that if he’d ran for a third term, he would’ve won, and I believe it.
Whatever John Kerry stands for, one thing is certain: his supporters couldn’t care less. These anti-war types are supporting a man who killed the “oppressed,” yet they castigate a man they believe shirked his duty. This illogical, unsustainable line of thinking runs rampant through other Kerry stances, whatever they may be, because Bush-hatred is white-hot and intense.
As an aside, for a long time I never understand why politicians who promised to raise taxes won elections. Talk about working for the man! Why would anyone vote for someone who thinks high taxes are good? As I formulated my own thoughts, I came to the conclusion that such people must not be paying taxes. Walter Williams says it much better than I:
Who does pay federal income taxes? The top 20 percent of income earners pay 80 percent, and the top 50 percent pay 96.5 percent of total federal income taxes. Given these figures about who does and does not pay federal income taxes, what are we to make of John Edwards’ stump speech? He’s right in one sense. One group of Americans — those at the top — work and pay virtually all federal income taxes, and another group — those at the bottom — work and pay little or no federal income taxes.There’s another issue about income inequality. If it’s your vision that out there somewhere there’s a pile of money to be divided among Americans, the reason the top fifth of Americans have much more than the bottom fifth is that they got to the pile of money first and took an unfair share. Justice, of course, would require that their ill-gotten gains be confiscated and redistributed to their rightful owners. But in a free society, income is mostly determined by one’s ability and willingness to produce goods and services that satisfy his fellow man.
The top fifth of income earners (earnings greater than $84,000) are not only more productive and have higher skills and education than the bottom fifth of income earners, they work more hours and have more people in their household working.
Sounds simple enough to a reasonable mind, but John Kerry and his race-mongering crew play on the envy and ignorance of the masses. I’m proud to say I am no longer a member of the liberal mass.
What will I do if John Kerry becomes president? I suspect I’ll live.
