Good article, but one mistake: "Methodism has almost collapsed" in Britain. True, but so has Anglicanism. I have an old friend in Brighton who grew up Anglican. She gave up on the Church of England and became a Pentecostal.

Ironically, one of the only Democrats who "get" this and George W. himself is Bill Clinton. He knows...and I bet when he was alone he said "That was one heck of a speech".

"The Democrat candidate has to prove something to conservative America, whereas the Republican has to prove nothing to the liberals."

This is a very different way of looking at our election. It's very good. Think about it. I will later...

but its idea of freedom is so strongly related to its sense of itself that, when it feels external threat, it reacts with unified fury.

Another big Al Queda attack before the U.S. election would result in their (Al Queda's) own worst nightmare.

Since three years ago next Saturday -- 911 04 will be on a Saturday when family and friends sit around and talk. Add two more points to the Bush side of the voting. If there are no changes in the world a 10 to 13 point lead six weeks before the election looks good.

To separate an American from Freedom is to cut off their ability to breathe. It cannot be done. It can be stifled for awhile but eventually we get tired of existing on one lung and shove back hard.

God Bless our President.

AMEN!!!!

The author seems to be implying that W converted in part for political reasons. Nothing could be further from the truth. He converted for 2 reasons: personal belief, and so he and Laura could attend the same services.

What a great "in-the-real-tradition-of-'The-Tele'" piece.

And except for a glaring mis-statement of libertarianism's ambitions -- for Strong and Limited [Constitutional!] Government -- very hard to fault.

Way to go Charlie Moore!

And, oh -- had not once-great-Britain's once-great inhabitants degenerated along with the those of the rest of Europe's Neo-Soviet into such a squalidly-sorry and systemically-enslaved, parasitically-socialistic state -- for a 'New Commonwealth of the English-Speaking Peolpes.'

May God continue to bless our President.

May God continue to bless US, in our President.

And may God continue to bless our beloved FRaternal Republic and our erstwhile enemies never forget that our "dea of freedom is so strongly related to its sense of [Ourselves] that, when [We] feel external threat, [We will ever] react with unified fury!"

Amen.

Blessings -- Brian
