<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>“We think we are not like other
people because God did shed his grace on us. We are going to save the
world.”</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>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.<SPAN
