OZZY
DOES D.C.
BUSH IS STILL SALT-FREE
By: Paul Proctor
A few years ago I told a minister friend of mine over lunch, who was
clearly upset over the Clinton sex scandals and issues of the day, that he should
"beware of the godless conservative". After I said that, he stared at me as if I
had just spoken in tongues. My friend, you see, had been so thoroughly programmed by the
conservative side of the media machine and all of its poll cats and pundits that he
couldn't see the big picture. He was convinced beyond persuasion that "good" was
synonymous with conservative and that evil's name was spelled L-i-b-e-r-a-l. So much so
that he couldn't digest the fact that BOTH Democrats and Republicans were leading the
nation into global tyranny. It's really sad to see so many silly conservatives and
liberals still dedicating their lives to nothing more than throwing each other off a
runaway train. |
If you consider yourself a "Bush conservative" I would point
out to you that the term has long since become an oxymoron. My Webster's dictionary
defines "conservative" as: "Disposed to maintain the status quo"
which, by the way, has nothing to do with being a Christian unless the "status
quo" involves adhering to biblical precepts...something Mr. Bush clearly has not
done...at least not in public or political life.
With the exception of maybe his recent "World Court" rejection, pro-gun
posture and a small tax rebate (which may all yet prove to be cosmetic and therefore
temporary) the only real "status quo" Mr. Bush has maintained is that which was
established by the Clinton administration and all of the liberals before him.
(1) Stealing our privacy and freedom with a more expensive, expansive and intrusive
federal government.
(2) Constructing a surveillance society of neighborhood snitches, biometric driver's
licenses (National ID's) and a growing network of closed-circuit cameras, federal data
bases and satellite technology to monitor "suspicious" activity and
"potential" criminal/terrorists on every major city street and corner in
America.
(3) A feminized, downsized and demoralized military, trained specifically for use
against it's own citizenry.
(4) Public school pantheism.
(5) Advancing, promoting and protecting sexual deviancy.
(6) Black hole-funding of an anti-Christ educational system that was created by
Marxists.
(7) Incrementally nullifying the Constitution and our inalienable rights through
presidential directives and executive orders under the guise of "national
security" and an exploited "war on terrorism".
(8) Exporting jobs and importing aliens illegally by the millions.
(9) Tolerating abortion on demand...etc., etc., etc.
One of the more poignant examples of "compassionate conservatism" at work was
the recent Ozzy Osbourne spectacle in Washington D.C.
Ozzy Osbourne 'invited To White House'
Although inviting Ozzy and his obscenities to the White House was, to say the least, an
exercise in poor judgement, (considering the fact that most veterans and law-abiding
citizens will never be blessed with such an honor), I really have nothing against my
president conversing with a burned-out rocker, even of occult persuasion. After all, are
we not, as Christians, called to be the "Salt of the Earth"? However, in light
of the many witnesses and reports coming from the controversial meeting and all the
surrounding events, I am persuaded that it was little more than a Nixon/Elvis-style
publicity stunt designed to show all the MTV-ers that "BUSH ROCKS" rather than
provide the president with an opportunity to be a "faithful witness for Christ".
What is "compassionate conservatism"? Apparently, it's nothing more than
bringing together "good and evil" in public displays of "tolerance,
diversity and unity" for political gain. That's right...the Hegelian
Dialectic...socialism's primary tool for breaking down a free society in order to subdue
and conquer it. Thesis (Bush) + antithesis (Ozzy) = synthesis (global village)
Then, like a false prophet, former vice-president and "born-again conservative
Christian" Dan Quayle chimes in, completely betraying his past by showering Ozzy and
his dysfunctional family with praises galore as if Larry Flynt was waiting in the wings
with a stack of mysterious 8x10's. It's like a skit from Saturday Night Live, folks! Read
it for yourself.
Quayle Likes Ozzy...
After scanning the piece, I emailed a good friend to briefly comment on the pathetic
turn of events and vent a little frustration. I closed with something of a rhetorical
question, which I am compelled to share here:
"Are these guys spiritual frauds going INTO office or have they simply become
spiritually compromised BY the office itself?"
My conclusion is that it really doesn't matter. The end result is the same.
"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith
shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be
trodden under foot of men." (Matthew 5:13)
