[i]Below is a sample post from the Priestly Pugilist:[/i]

[size=2]05:32 PM 11/5/2008 - Well, it's the day after the beginning of the end, and your PP stands by every word of his last post. Sorry, but I won't be jumping on the unity band-wagon like John McCain ... not with 2.5 million children murdered every year, and our new president-elect poised to make at least two and probably three Supreme Court appointments. Three fossilized liberals on the court -- in less than excellent health and well past the age at which they would like to retire to go fly fishing -- have been clinging on by their fingernails because they didn't want a pro-life president to nominate their successors. Now, that won't happen. Prediction: Stevens and Ginsburg will announce their retirements very early into Obama's first term, possibly even before Christmas.

Why did Obama win Pennsylvania? Because the legal wing of organized crime (a.k.a. unions) drank the Cool-aid in spite of the fact that Obama's tax-the-rich scheme (a.k.a. tax-anyone-who-employs-people) will result in half of them loosing their jobs. Nationally, the whole thing was summed up quite nicely by one old gentleman, quoted on the Drudge Report, who explained (paraphrased): "Obama will give me free medicine and pay off my mortgage." You and I could speculate about how such people will deal with their "buyer's remorse" when Obama doesn't give them free pills and pay for their homes; but, it's more likely that he won't have such remorse: the media will explain to him that it's all the Republicans fault, in spite of the fact that their aren't any Republicans left. Oh, I'm sorry. Republicans will still be able to stop all the wonderfullness promised by the Promiser-in-Chief by some sort of telepathy, even though they have no power in Congress.

Which leads me to another question: Given the media's ability to shape an election now, should there be a rethinking of the First Amendment? Now hear me out....

Take as a starting point the fact (yes, I said "fact") that it is possible to redefine a portion of the Bill of Rights. We've done it, haven't we, with the Second Amendment. Here's a pop quiz: Our Founding Fathers sought to guarantee the right to bear arms...

[indent]A. so the good people of North Dakota could repel an invasion by Saskatchewan before federal troops could arrive,
B. so good ol' boys could still go hunting unmolested,
C. so the citizens of the republic would always have the ability to rise up and overthrow their government should it become tyranical.[/indent]
The correct answer is, of course, "C" (don't tell your children that, because if they repeat it in school they'll get sent the pricipal's office; but it's true). But, think about it. Bans on assault weapons and automatic weapons certainly confound the purpose of the Founding Fathers. The government has tanks, planes, machine guns, nuclear weapons, etc.; how can we resist them with shotguns and hunting rifles? So, clearly, the amendment has been severely changed. "In the 18th century there were no such things as assault rifles and machine guns. If there had been, the Founding Fathers would have written that amendment differently," or so we are told.

Well, if you can change one amendment, you can certainly change another. There's no hierarchy among the first ten amendments -- one is not considered more important than another -- as clearly stated in the Federalist Papers. Well, when the Founding Fathers said there was to be a free press, there was no such thing as Cable News, nor a 24 hour news cycle, nor television for that matter. Nor was there an army of intellectual pea-brains sucking up everything they hear and see on the tube and taking it at face value. Why do you think that innocent old gentleman, who probably doesn't have a liberal bone in his body, believes that two weeks after inauguration day his pills will be free and he won't have to make any more house payments? Because he saw it on TV! Chris Matthews said so (as a thrill went up his leg). Besides, when the country was founded the only "press" in existence was printed (hence, the term "press" as in printing press); the only people who knew how to read were the highly educated; and there was no popular vote. As flippant as it sounds, there may actually be some merit in discussing whether the whole electoral system should be re-thought in light of television and the access of the feeble-minded to the democratic process.

Okay, so you got the point that I'm depressed and not in a "unity" mood, right? But I did get a chuckle out of a contribution from one wing of the press that needs no reform. It comes from the good folks who publish the Rockdale Citizen down in Rockdale, Georgia. The story about Obama's victory was placed -- in newspaper lingo -- "below the fold," on the same level and in the same sized box as the results of the local school board election. And what's the lead story at the top of the page on the day after this "historic" election? A story about a rabid dog (you have no idea what I would like to say). Thanks for the laugh, fellas!

Will I be praying for our new president-elect? Certainly! But understand what that means: I can't pray for his success; that would be a mortal sin since I would be praying for even more children to be murdered. Nor can I pray that he does well in his presidency, since that would be praying for a second term of increased baby-killing. What I can pray for is his conversion; and I will.

Thank you for your review about the film The Fourth Wise Man. It sounds like something worth watching. I'll be on the lookout for the film.
