Thank God for W!

NBC News ran a story tonight proclaiming Bush to be an unpopular, lame-duck president without friend or ally, being backstabbed even by his own party. Indeed, many of the GOP candidates for the White House are distancing themselves from him or even slighting him.

But thank God for George W. Bush. He's probably the most principled leader of the nation we've had in more than 40 years. It's because of him that we have two more pro-life justices on the Supreme Court, and the law banning partial birth abortion is still in place--the pinnacle of 20 years of pro-life efforts. He signed into law tax relief measure that benefit lower and middle class families. He has guided the nation through the difficult period following 9/11. And now liberals want to undo all these accomplishments in a single term.

Not to say he hasn't made mistakes, but candidates themselves are making a big mistake if they fail to recognize the contributions Bush has made to the nation. He is a president that the record of history will ultimately favor, unlike someone else that went before him:

"The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot."

(Prov. 10:7)
