Those of you who thought we had a Second Amendment to keep government from
fixing your soul are so 20th century. Evolve already.
And then there's the Gospel according to Obama himself. In January, he told
Dartmouth students that they will know to vote for him because "... a light
will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you
will experience an epiphany, and you will suddenly realize that you must go
to the polls and vote for Barack."
When asked in an interview what sin is, Obama defined it as "Being out of
alignment with my values." Apparently, the editor failed to capitalize the
"M" in "My."
But such mistakes can be forgiven, for Hillary has been cast out and the
nomination is nigh. So we can get cracking on fixing America - and
ourselves.
"I am absolutely certain," Obama proclaimed in his victory speech, "that
generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children
that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good
jobs for the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began
to slow and our planet began to heal. This was the moment - this was the
time - when we came together to remake this great nation ..."
Now, if you're under the mistaken impression that sick people had some care,
or that a few jobs were to be found prior to June 2008, or that maybe -
just maybe - the oceans don't rise and fall with the election returns, or
that America itself doesn't need "remaking," you're not one of the "ones
we've been waiting for."
But you might be one of the ones Al Gore has been waiting for. You'd
understand if you realized "Earth in the Balance" is a cookbook.
