The Election is Over

I heard Senator Zell Miller's speech (download here) on NPR while waiting for Cydi at the train station tonight. WOW! Let me say that again. WOW! Kerry is a bloody (if the undead have blood) pulp. How can he go on? He is down down down and there is no getting up after that series of body blows. He has been dismantled like a Camry in a L.A. chop shop. I heard an NPR commentatator say Kerry was decimated. Another said he was evicerated. I never heard anything like it in my life time. This speech by Zell Miller is in the same class as the Cross of Gold speech. Or Churchill's "Fight them on the beaches" speech. It might even be as important as Ronald Regan's "Evil Empire" speech, and I was in the audience when that speech was given. This election is over and Kerry is not the winner.

And besides all of this, Islam is evil.

I wasn't necessarily commenting on the accuracy or import of the contents of the speech. I was commenting on it as an example of the high art of political oratory. The "Cross of Gold" speech, one of the three speeches to which I compared it, I thoroughly disagee with. But I still think that as a political speech it is among the best I've read or heard.

Now as for Islam being evil vs. the individual you know not being evil, I see no contradiction. Christianity is good, but I think we all know some really bad Christians. But if you do not see Islam as evil I will not try to convice you that it is.

Thank you for reading my blog.
