One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
By Thomas JeffreyArticle Posted: Sunday May 13, 2007
Nicolas Sarkozy was certified the victor of France’s presidential election this past Sunday. The 52-year old Sarkozy, whose Right-Wing, neo-conservative views on many issues have led the more liberal citizens of France to lament that they may have just elected their own version of our own Smirking POTUS.
But with Prime Minister Tony Blair announcing his resignation as Prime Minister of Britain this past Thursday, the election of Sarkzoy must be a welcome relief for President Bush, who, with Russia’s Vladimir Putin turning his back to the West, was quickly finding himself without peer on the world stage with regards to his halcyon-tinged view of the world.
But no matter how many world leaders abandon the Smirking POTUS, the president will always have Poland — whose President, Lech Kaczynski, agrees with him on many social issues, including his opposition to gay rights. But with Poland being over 96% Catholic, that view could be somewhat expected as a direct result of religious indoctrination. When it comes to Mr. Bush, however, for all his born again Christian ideology, this Leftwing Nutjob chalks it up to just plain old homophobic bigotry with just a dash of political pandering.
