Those of you who didn’t realize there were more than 2 (or maybe 3) people on the ballot in last month’s Presidential election may not know who Chuck Baldwin is. Baldwin is a Pastor in Pensacola, Florida, and was the Presidential nominee for the Constitution Party.
Baldwin wrote a column yesterday called “where are Dobson and PCC now?“about the religious right’s undying love for President Bush. The “PCC” in that title is my alma mater, Pensacola Christian College.
Quoting Baldwin (emphasis mine):
Since 2000, James Dobson, Pensacola Christian College (PCC), and their peers around the country have had an eight-year lovefest with George W. Bush. Life-size cardboard posters of Bush have stood in their bookstores for eight long, laborious years. Grade school children in their Christian schools have been subjected to Bush propaganda for eight tedious, tiresome years. To them, G.W. Bush ranks somewhere between Moses and the Almighty. And nothing Bush said or did seemed to matter.
Bravo, Chuck. Bravo.

I haven’t been down there in nearly 10 years, but I find it hard to believe they have life-size cardboard posters of Bush in the library. Maybe my hyperbole detector is broken.
The Conservative Christian’s seemingly continuing approval of his policies is rather interesting, though. I don’t think it’s blind love. I think it just comes down to not being able (tactically) to admit your side could be even the slightest bit mistaken. It would be seen as a setback in the fight to “take back the country.”
I don’t think that the cardboard cutouts of Bush line was about PCC. I seem to remember seeing one in a Family/Lifeway type store once though.
Wow… this could not be more off base than anything I have ever heard. Obviously the little love party for Obama by the media is over-looked. True journalism is dead.
