Armchair Pundits

All you ever needed to know about the left...

The hubris of the left continues to be astounding. As Squirrel, has so eloquently articulated, there exists a deep mistrust of America from the left. I, like my esteemed colleague above, continue to be disconcerted at the caricature portrait of middle Americans like us, who ascribe to the Judeo-Christian ethic. We at Armchair Pundits, like many of those who read us, are hard working, well-educated, Jesus loving Americans, who happen to be in the mainstream of American life. We are not intolerant, bigoted, homophobic, war-mongering fanatics. How easy it is for the left to be dismissive! I find it interesting, that Bush and conservatives are labeled as divisive and in need of uniting the country, when what has been divisive in this nation is the blatant hatred expressed toward the president and those who support him. Such vitriol has been expressed through print, film, television, slashed tires, broken noses, and vandalized campain offices. It is clear, as to what moral values the intolerant espouse: secularism, socialism, and equality. This stands in direct opposition to what the mainstream of our society cling to as core values. Namely, a religious ethic, capitalism, and liberty. Dennis Prager has written extensively to this end and is must reading concerning this. Failure to honestly appraise ones thinking concerning this is foolish. But alas, I ramble.

I concluded an earlier post by invoking the adult / child metaphor. When you examine all that has transpired and is yet before you, it is striking how timely that metaphor is. After all, we live in the real world; and in the real world there exists real consequences. The natural extension of which we see here http://www.bocaratonnews.com/index.php?src=news&prid=10194&category=Local%20.

May God help us!
