BUSH VICTORY INCITES LIBERAL PANIC

Bush Victory Incites Liberal Panic

Actor Michael Moriarty It's fun to watch the worldwide socialist church - the matriarchal, anti-theological and environmental sycophants - scramble for cover in the wake of President George W. Bush's election victory. The next four years will be more than a mop-up of Al Qaeda and North Korea-backed terrorist operations. We'll corner Red Hollywood, Liberal lawyers and politicians, network anchormen and the leader of the pack - soon-to-be United Nations Secretary General William Jefferson Clinton.

Sitting in the demilitarized zone between the English-speaking Free World and a 250-year-old benighted religion called Marxianity - a French-born revolutionary nightmare composed of three traditionally 'sacred' levels: Reform, which is liberal; Orthodox, which is socialist/labor; and Fundamentalist, which is communist - hovering there are the Liberals. Yes, the Liberals are tied to the Communists as American defense is tied to the CIA. The Communists are rooted umbilically by the cord of Socialism, which is the generic definition of this entire economic and social ideology. Given the rest of the world's commitment to a one-world socialist federation under the UN and enthrallment with the New World Order, it is the United States versus the Rest of the World and, at this point in the court of world opinion, we've lost.

However, we Conservatives never assumed the messianic role of saving the entire human race. Karl Marx did that. The socialists and liberals are messianic almost by ideological commitment. Republicans are only concerned with the certainty of American freedom, prosperity and power. We will not surrender one ounce of our hard-earned preeminence as the most vibrant, productive, generous and freedom-loving people in the world. Since I don't believe there is intelligent life on any other planet, let's say that America has the best people in the universe (I'm going 'universal' because that's the meaning of my faith - Catholicism). Certainly they are the sanest people in the world. As head of Mother Earth's psychiatric hospital, President Bush is putting the criminally insane back into lockdown.

Speaking of which, Globe and Mail political columnist Jeffrey Simpson's reaction to Bush's victory is a quintessential, New World Order recovery-type editorial. Simpson unveils his oxymoronic vision of the North American continent. Edward Grabb and James Curtis, in the sociological study Regions Apart, posit an entire continent divided into four quadrants: Canada's French and English solitudes, and America's North and South divides. Simpson raises these divisions, in typically liberal fashion, in order to liken the Canadian Catholic French to the once slaveholding South. This is guilt by an association that only an urban and 'Northern' liberal could come up with.

"French Canada, with its Catholicism, and the U.S. South, with its racial segregation, protected themselves from the North's influence," Simpson writes. Apparently, at least in his eyes, the Northern United States and Southern Canada (meaning Ottawa and Toronto) are the same country and are inhabited by the only really good guys in all of North America. What is the oxymoron here, the cunning contradiction in terms? Well, even English-speaking Canadians know that it's not the Catholicism of Quebec that incites cries for secession. It is the rabidly fundamentalist Montreal Left's demand that the Liberal hegemony move the "People's Revolution" along faster. Paul and Jacques Rose of Montreal (via Havana) were hardly reciting the Hail Mary when they strangled Pierre Laporte to death with his own rosary beads. The odious inference that Catholic rigidity is akin to the slaveholding South is indicative of how deep the panic is in the back seats of Liberal limousines.

In the Marxists' best-of-all-possible worlds, a President John Kerry would have been in the Oval Office to welcome the new UN Secretary General Bill Clinton. Their photo ops together on the porch of the White House would be so thrilling to the Left and chilling to the Right - it would be tantamount to an absolute Marxist victory and total surrender of the American Republic to a socialist federation. Glinting in the eyes of the two presidential conquerors, joining hands in the name of a very French idea of the "People," would be the sun bouncing off the rifles of a UN Army as it paraded down Pennsylvania Avenue. Of course, that still may happen should Barack Obama (the newly elected Democratic Senator from Illinois) or Hilary Clinton win the Oval Office prize in 2008.

The first delegates to be invited to the inaugurations would most likely include representatives from the Bloc Québécois. So much for Simpson's cheap shot
at French Catholicism.

Elsewhere on the same page of the Globe editorial section, an opinion piece by John R. MacArthur, publisher of Harper's Magazine, accompanied by a cartoon caricature that certainly turns up the heat of Canadian anti-Americanism, leads its reader through another aspect of French influence on North America: not Catholicism, but the Enlightenment. MacArthur judiciously includes only the name of Voltaire. The other nightmares of the bloody, decapitating, Grand Guignol circus in the name of the "People" - the Dantons and Robespierres, both of whom saw the last light of French day from the bottom of a guillotine basket - are never referred to.

As Prof. Louis Menand reveals in his preface to an American intellectual's breathtaking ingratitude to his own country - Edmund Wilson's To the Finland Station - the "limit-case," as he calls it, or the limited-paradigm being floated is most revealed and unraveled by what it excludes. Aside from erasing the entire American Revolution from his love song to revolution itself, one of the many things about the often-revolting French Revolution that MacArthur refuses to mention is Voltaire's description of his colleagues as "enlightened despots." That frightening fraternity has multiplied itself down the past two centuries until the entire English-speaking world opinion club has revealed itself to be "Lenin-positive." The tertiary stage of this disease, like full-blown AIDS, already has a 60-year body count that makes cancer and heart disease look benign. Of course, we see few history and television documentaries of the Stalin Purge and Mao's Great Leap Forward, and we are rarely reminded that the governmental Panzer Division, which Hitler rode in on, was German National Socialism. Throw in the present million and a half abortions per year in the United States alone and you might just feel the chill coming out of Finland Station. ***
