Ben Shapiro Boy Prognosticator Strikes Again

Yes, this week, Literary Ben writes an eulogy for President Bush, the greatest President of the 21st century. Yep here's what the future holds according to young Ben.

For Bush's opposition, this was the last straw. Weeping over supposed violation of international law, Democrats who had approved presidential discretionary use of force in Iraq now decided once again that they had been deceived. And so they slandered Bush as a warmonger and a traitor. They and their vile ilk claimed that Bush was a shill for Saudi oil. Their presidential candidate, John Kerry, derided Bush as a liar, even as Kerry himself refused to answer straight questions about either his record or his political opinions.

The pounding took its toll. Kerry, the perfect embodiment of leftist hatred for George W. Bush, fulfilled his lifelong ambition. And, like Winston Churchill, Bush was unceremoniously thrown from office.

The rest is history. Faith in American republicanism has been undermined by candidates who will not acknowledge the legitimacy of majoritarian democratic results. America has been plagued by a sporadic but regular and devastating pattern of terrorist bombings and killings. The public, lacking a clear moral system, flounders for a vision. And it calls for the most convenient solution: more government.

So apparently John Kerry is going to win the election. And his election is going to destroy America. Kind of depressing in the long one, but nice in the short run. And John Kerry is the "perfect embodiment" of Bush hatred? That's wierd, I thought that would have been Al Gore. Or Al Sharpton.

That last paragraph is interesting--I think the whole nation is bracing itself for a long protracted court battle after the election to determine the victor. At any rate after criticizing how Al Gore performed in 2000, surely President Bush will just immediately concede the election after he loses. I hope.

Of course the nice thing about writing this column is how lazy it is. I mean Ben has no way of knowing whether his predictions of the future will come to pass or not. Certainly he seems to have little faith in the character of the American people. And, just as certainly, his review of the President's last four years is, shall we say, slanted? Extremely slanted with a side of inaccuracy.
