It’s almost like grasping at straws when I listen to Rush on the radio. I am just trying to glean a straw of hope in a seemingly hopeless situation. The polls don’t look good for the Republicans and the “Messiah” seems to have gotten all the momentum by going on a whirlwind “tour of duty” overseas with an entourage of foreign policy advisers in tow and three anchor men (women) ready to sing his praises. All he has to do is avoid making any blunders in his disjointed speeches and he will be home free. I have tasted a Bush victory twice, but I am afraid a McCain’s defeat appears to be inevitable. We are tempted to blame the President for the impending possible demise of the Republicans in the general election, but I believe history will be kinder to him than most of us. I will take a statesman who is philosophically, ethically, morally, and spiritually grounded than a man of change who appears to be willing to change directions every which way in order to get himself elected. It’s anybody’s guess what drastic changes he will take us through when he assumes power. Isn’t this the perfect time for the second coming when all things will be renewed and all filth purged by the true Messiah?
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Don’t these lines by Yeats sound all too familiar when you look around at the world?
