Love or hate his political music, it is the president who has given great
energy and passion to this campaign. His opponent has barely risen above
"Anybody But Bush." The conventional wisdom months ago was that if the
campaign turned into a referendum on Bush, he would surely lose. But what we
are seeing is not a referendum on what each of us thought about this
president or his presidency. The contest is indeed about two Americas, not
rich and poor, but past and future.

This campaign, I would argue, is one of the last convulsions of angry, real
American men, fighting desperately (and well) to hold back the time and tide
of the new-the un-white and un-Christian, and girlie-men, too, who sooner or
later will be America. Bush has the Father Knows Best vote, from men who
have lost their personal power and hate what is happening all around them.

"We think we are not like other people because God did shed his grace on us.
We are going to save the world."

As a group, their power probably peaked in 1996, when the Christian
Coalition distributed 40 million election guides after Bill Clinton's veto
of the partial-birth-abortion ban. Since then, though, the coalition and
other reactionary groups have lost power, besieged by infighting and
lawsuits and defections of leaders who have muted their anger to go
mainstream.

Now the angry men left behind see George Bush as their last champion-whether
he really is or not is a different question-as the man who can hold the line
against these aliens and all these alien ideas. This is why Kerry's words
"global test" have become a mantra chanted by Bush and his surrogates.
Whatever the senator's words actually meant, a lot of good old-fashioned
American men had their own idea: Kerry was going to give away God-given
American superpower and greatness to the aliens...

How Bush plays to the appealing delusion that America is a nation with a
special calling to redeem the world"

  Bush supporter held for mental evaluation



  West Boynton, Fla. When an 18-year-old couldn't convince his girlfriend
that George W. Bush was the right choice for president, he became enraged,
put a screwdriver to her throat and threatened to kill her, sheriff's
officials said.



  "You won't live to see the next election," Steven Soper told Stacey
Silveira Tuesday night as the two fought inside his home west of Boynton
Beach, according to a police report.
