The Religious Right Turns on Bush

News from Agape Press:

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the hired help are showing signs of resentment at being exploited:

"In his zeal to fight the monsters that reside abroad, George W. Bush appears to have forgotten the very monsters that have set up camp in his own presidential backyard. Abortion, euthanasia, explicit obscenity, and homosexual marriage all encompass a cultural war in which this President was drafted to fight. Columnist John Leo, in analyzing the Bush mandate, correctly points out that 'exit polls showed that at 22 percent, 'moral values' was the biggest issue on the minds of voters, and four-fifths of the 22 percent had voted for Bush.' Thus, in an election that parodied that of 1960 and 2000, it was the conservative cadets that pushed Bush over the top.

"But with 4,000 unborn children perishing daily, Jack Kevorkian knocking on the doors of countless elderly persons, and the celebration of the sexuality explicit on the airwaves of our nation, this question must be posed: where is the Commander in Chief whom this country elected to fight the cultural war? He, my friends, is in Iraq, Afghanistan, and now potentially Iran and North Korea. In a quest for a global hegemony unwanted by the rest of the world, this President has abdicated his post to fight the cultural ills that afflict a weary populace at home, and, even further, may be violating the very doctrine he now espouses."

What percent voted for him so that he would fight terrorism? That number might help to objectify the quote.
