One need only consider the flaunted immorality of "Sex and the City" to get
the point. Women my grandmother would have labeled "sluts" are now regarded
as New York sophisticates who change men as rapidly as they change clothes,
during the short breaks between sexual trysts when they bother to wear
clothes at all.
In place of an immutable standard, it is in self we trust, not God (Heaven,
"if it exists," forbid!)
Obama's only foreign policy strategy seems to be diplomacy, not the defeat
of evil. Such an approach when not supported by a credible threat of
military power is bound to encourage more evil, not less. Obama debunks the
value of experience, claiming the experience of President Bush and John
McCain got us into the lengthy Iraq War. That war didn't start in Iraq and
it won't end there, even if our objectives are achieved. Those objectives
are closer to being realized than they were a year ago, but Obama and his
fellow Democrats cannot acknowledge progress because they are preoccupied
with victory at the polls more than victory over evil.
Recently, The Washington Times carried a story by Rowan Scarborough that
quoted intelligence officials who believe terrorist attacks could occur in
the early month's of the next president's administration. Terrorists
attacked in February 1993 just two months after Bill Clinton's Inauguration
and again on Sept. 11, 2001, less than eight months after George W. Bush
became president.
The central question for voters ought to be this: who do we want in the
White House should another terrorist attack occur; one who seeks to
negotiate with evil, or one who is a warrior and wants to crush it?
