Bill Bennett: Bush has a mandate for "cultural change"

[solarbird]

"Decent society" here means cultural conservatism.

Having restored decency to the White House, President Bush now has a mandate to affect policy that will promote a more decent society, through both politics and law. His supporters want that, and have given him a mandate in their popular and electoral votes to see to it. Now is the time to begin our long, national cultural renewal ("The Great Relearning," as novelist Tom Wolfe calls it) — no less in legislation than in federal court appointments. It is, after all, the main reason George W. Bush was reelected.

The problem with this approach is perfectly encapsulated in an old post that was highlighted by morons.org: "Whenever you see a picture two men holding a child and look like a family, always keep in mind the truth: those men sodomize each other every night."

I wondered if the psycho who wrote that slavers over the image of every man and woman holding hands and imagines them in flagrente delecto, but the end result doesn't matter. The people who voted for Bush think domestic partnerships legitimize activity that revolts them.

We may have to wait a generation, or the Singularity, for things to change.

I disagree.

And wow I wish I got that much action in my partnership *laughs*
