July 2007 Stats for The Big Picture.
I just got back from a Party for President Bush. Have you heard about these yet? It’s very cool. There’s an official campaign web site to support them here. You can go to that link and enter your zip code, and it’ll show you a list of people who are having these parties near you. If you want to host one yourself, the site helps you send out invitations to people.
This one was hosted by Sally (thanks Sal!). And it must be like what politicians see every day: good people from all kinds of different walks of life, brought together by things they have in common. I had a lot of great conversations. Chic was there with his wife Sunshine. Chic’s from Oklahoma. He told me that what the media reports in Oklahoma is 100% different from what the media reports in L.A. They report a much more balanced picture of what’s really going on. I was really surprised to hear that. I turned Chic on to Instapundit, LGF, and Patterico. Sally’s husband Armin was there and he mentioned Roger L. Simon’s site too.
I also had a great conversation with a Minister, James Peyton. We got a little off the subject and talked about the movie THE PASSION OF CHRIST. James told me that in the Christian tradition, Christians believe that they personally killed Christ, and he willingly died for them. And I said, “Oh, that’s why Mel dramatized the complicity of the public in the death of Christ—to make a point of that. Not to make a comment about the Jews.” James said, that’s right—in those days everybody was Jewish. It wasn’t about the Jews, it was about the people, it was about all of us.
I said we’re really blessed in this country to have the Judeo-Christian tradition of wanting to love each other and help each other have better lives and to enjoy life and be good to each other. As opposed to the tradition of some Islamo-fascist localities where they do the reverse—sending their own children off to be blown up.
Everybody got to introduce themselves and say a few words, so I made a short speech about what’s going on in the blogosphere. It’s amazing, but it seems like most people don’t even know about all this yet. I told everyone about Instapundit as a great place to start.
Chic said that his boss at work is a Democrat, but even he (the boss) is saying that Kerry is a nut and can’t be supported. That’s another sign that things may be going in the right direction for this Presidential election.
