(This revolution wasn’t aimed at the executive or legislative branches of government as much as it was a revolt against the judicial branch. All revolutions have an object of their discontent. In this case, the tyrant was a liberal judiciary determined to undermine morality through a wrong-headed concept defined as “the separation of church and state.”)

The pundits, as always, have missed the truth about the 2004 elections. The sweeping victory by the Republicans has been declared a ‘Religious Revolution.” The rejection of liberalism displayed in the results, leaving the reigns of government firmly in the hands of conservatism, is being pinned on the Christian evangelicals and fundamentalists. In fact, those constituencies have always voted against liberal politicians who support abortion and the gay agenda. In the 2004 election, they represented approximately the same percentage of the electorate as they did in the 2000 election. This revolution can’t be pinned on them. If the election of George W. Bush to a second term constitutes a “revolution”, it can be attributed to one thing: ARROGANCE. The arrogance of the gay lobby, Hollywood, and the liberal media has assured a paradigm shift in government that will shape the political landscape for years to come.

The ivory tower of liberalism erupted with howling and hand-wringing in the wake of the 2004 elections. The castle doors were assaulted by conservative Americans, armed with torches and pitch forks, who were simply fed up with elitist liberals telling them what kind of society they must accept. Jane Smiley, of Slate.com, recently yelped, “The history of the last four years shows that red state types, above all, do not want to be told what to do—they prefer to be ignorant. As a result, they are virtually unteachable.”  The history of liberalism illustrates that these self-important pseudo-intellectuals still don’t get it. They do not know better than everyone else. In fact, they are so insulated in their own arrogance that they did not even see this revolution coming.

Liberals were shocked to find that forty years of judicial assault against God in our public squares hadn’t cushioned them from such mutiny. Hollywood was dismayed to discover that Middle America had disregarded their concept of what society should be. The Boss rocks with a guitar but has no relevance when it comes to the core values of a nation. The gay lobby—drunk with a sense of invincibility born of a misinterpretation of Christian tolerance as political victory—was flabbergasted to learn that the American people had rejected their attempt to force the gay agenda upon our society by judicial fiat or through maverick politicians. The establishment media were blind-sided by the distrust and contempt that most Americans hold for them. Despite a steady bashing of President Bush which included many unsubstantiated accusations—especially by CBS news—and a few October surprises, their influence was countered by a well-educated electorate who found alternative news sources.

After nearly half a century of using the Supreme Court of the United States of America to mold our society contrary to the will of the people, liberal royalty fiddled while Pat Buchanan’s Cultural Revolution was burning in our streets, our churches, and our living rooms. They mocked him; laughed him to scorn. They aren’t laughing today. Hollywood belittled people of faith by creating caricatures of fundamentalist Christians as Bible-toting pumpkins too stupid to take seriously. They are taking them seriously today. Court decisions concerning abortion on demand, prayer in school, and pornography as free speech were just the beginning. Middle America could see the writing on the wall. Instead of capitulating, however, the majority availed themselves of the one right not even the Supreme Court could steal from them: the right of self-determination at the ballot box—the ultimate balance of power.

The truth of the matter is a revolution did take place. It wasn’t so much a “Christian” revolution as it was a moral one. This revolution wasn’t aimed at the executive or legislative branches of government as much as it was a revolt against the judicial branch. All revolutions have an object of their discontent. In this case, the tyrant was a liberal judiciary determined to undermine morality through a wrong-headed concept defined as “the separation of church and state.” It was a demonstration of the Constitution of the United States of America at work. “We the people” made a statement against judicial activism by the left: STOP TAMPERING WITH OUR LIVES! The majority assured itself in the 2004 election that conservative judges would be placed on the Supreme Court, creating a paradigm shift back in the direction of conservatism and traditional moral values. The citizenry placed their own economic interests on the back burner, shelved their distaste for the war in Iraq, and even ignored their fear of losing Social Security to express their concern for the erosion of common sense and morality. The arrogance of liberal elitism guaranteed the result.
