Fear and Loathing in WA -- Election 2004
It is difficult to write too much about this election: it is the meanest, most emotional, most important one in my life. I fear a Kerry presidency for the following reasons:
- John Kerry, in my mind, is a pathological opportunist (from his Vietnam Days to his marriage choices) who will say anything, do anything, not matter how tasteless and dangerous to get elected.
- If Kerry wins, it will reinforce the conviction of the Michael Moore's in this world that baseless character assasination works and that most of humanity can be controlled by media manipulation.
- The terrorists will know that Kerry is a person who can be spun around if they blow their propaganda around hard enough.
- Our allies will not feel supported- just look at what Kerry said after the Allawi speech and what his younger sister has been doing in Australia.
- We will live in a no man's land of no conviction, no moral clarity -- the very thing we need to defeat the monsters who kill children as a side note to their cause.
May God help us!
