What would Evelyn do?
Stefan Beck takes a look at one of the seven deadly sins in the context of today's political season. The Democrats, he argues, are consumed by sloth. Not mere laziness or procrastination about paying the electric bill; sloth is a spiritual attitude about the importance of action in the face of difficulty. The Democrats have lost this sense of urgency. To them the death of millions of Iraqi people is nothing if it does not help them to unseat George W. Bush. And indeed, this is the only vision which motivates them. The real truth is that they hate the people fighting for Iraqi and American freedom because they are fighting for something noble. It is the hatred of the good for being the good which is at the root of their sloth. They are the party of despair, surrender and malaise. They have nothing positive to offer, only a stew of despondency and dejection. They whisper in America's ear, "give up, give up, give up."
