The party of unity who will now govern is the party that responded to the Civil Rights Act with affirmative action as they compartmentalized us into hyphenated Americans for distinctively unequal protection under the law. Frankly, after the election kumbayas die down, this party has about as much chance of inducing unity in America as a leopard has at changing its’ spots.
Now that the national media has officially forsworn objectivity and gone into the tank for the Democrats, non-partisan Americans will have to work harder than ever to keep up with the myriads of attacks on our various freedoms. Keep one hand on your wallet, another on your gun, stay in shape and don’t get sick, keep speaking clearly, keep publishing, keep producing, and keep defending our Constitution from further erosion.
The rule of law is a two-edged sword. It created a fertile environment from which our country grew into greatness. And it’s also been manipulated by virtually every public and private group in America, some more successfully than others, to serve their own special interests.
The charismatic Great Man the country elected last night is, if not a blank canvas, at least an opaque one. He can carry, without conflict, each individual intention from each supporter. These supporters are going to want their changes made and they’re about to discover that they don’t all agree on what those changes look like. Generally though, the history of changes out of the leftist camps have tended to favor freedoms for certain classes and reduce the scope of general freedom for all.
Even though the election is over, the national media will keep hammering Bush. They’ve already elevated any positive observation about the Bush administration to the level of a thought crime. The leftist one-party rule for at least the next two years will need an enemy to motivate their changes and Bush is already packaged and available.
Notwithstanding their rhetoric, unity between the left and the right will not come from this new leadership. It can only come from people who work hard to see the American in each other, people who see beyond all of the hyped-up divisions and social structures that the left imposes upon America.
