Mr. President,
I was very much amused by your reelection campaign. I knew that you were going to be reelected. This cost me many of my liberal friends.
Focusing your campaign on moral values and God helped you touch a majority of Americans, especially those from the southern United States, who are reputed to be very conservative. I still remember an advertisement in which, like Moses on Mount Sinai, you prayed and communicated with God. I smiled again when one of your religious propaganda men stated, a few days before the election, that you had always been convinced that you were “called” to manage the American Executive branch. It means that the United States would have the vocation of guiding the world towards “the paradise of democracy.” A late old friend of mine would say, “the superpower in the service of the Almighty.”
Mr. President, I would beware of false prophets. I am very much impressed by this innovation you have brought to American politics. Consequently, congratulations to Karl Rove, the genius with a thousand ideas, your political guru. Never did prayer play such an important role in American political life. Remember one thing, Mr. President; religion is the opium of the people. It would be amusing if the President of the United States ended up proving Karl Marx right.
Know another thing, Mr. President, it has often been said that the prohibition to use the name of God has to do with swear words and other rough talk that includes His name. We all learned that as children in church. However, one thing is true, using the name of God may give an incredible power. It is like holding the key that opens the door of happiness. However, this power is frightening, Mr. President. As neo-conservatives, by skillfully brandishing this power, you and your people have become “false prophets” who dictate their own will and exploit the credulity of the American people. Mr. President, God does not want His name to be used in vain. What worries me most is that the American neo-conservative right has formed a highly improbable alliance with the ultra-Christian right. This is a marriage between a fox and a goat, as the Bahutu of Rwanda say.
