Mark Pryor's New Ad: Jesus Save Me

I'm angry about this ad. Not just because it's an attempt by a Democrat to invoke the name of God Himself to win an election.

But because of the predictable reaction to it by the determined, angry secularists of the New Class: The reaction will be nothing at all.

When Republicans play the Culture Card, the New Class is outraged. They are made filthy-angry by the injection of religion and tribal loyalty into what they feel should be a decision made upon the bases of reason and empathy and For Science.

But when a Democrat does it, they just nod approvingly, and maybe giggle: Well if that what it takes to move the Rubes...

As with any of the alleged principles of the Progressive Left, Fen's Law applies: They believe none of the things they say they believe. The only thing they actually believe in is that Progressives should rule the world, and they may use any tactic, including resorting to Nasty Jesus Talk, to achieve this long-dreamed goal.

It shouldn't be overlooked that this is a desperation move. Mark Pryor is calling upon the Power of God because it's looking like that's the only power in the universe sufficient to spare him an electoral drubbing. Hit Allah's link for Sean Trende's analysis of Democrats in trouble, generally; and check out the bio of Pryor's Republican opponent, Tom Cotton. Cotton's a Harvard lawyer who signed up in Army and got his officer commission so that he could kill terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Not to slight JAG officers, but I would point out here that Cotton did not serve as a JAG; he served as a front-line soldier leading troops on the battlefield.

As an infantry officer and platoon leader with the 101st Airborne Division, he was deployed to Baghdad as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom on May 19, 2006. In Iraq, Cotton was responsible for a 41 man air assault infantry platoon in the 506th Infantry Regiment, and planned and led daily combat patrols. He completed his first combat tour in Iraq on November 20, 2006, and was awarded the Army Commendation Medal, the Combat Infantryman Badge, the Iraq Campaign Medal, and various campaign/service medals.

...

Following his deployment in Iraq, Cotton was assigned as a platoon leader at The Old Guard at Arlington National Cemetery,[9] where he was responsible for conducting military honor funerals for veterans. In 2008, he volunteered to return to combat duty, was promoted to Captain on August 1, 2008, and deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom on October 15, 2008. In Afghanistan, Cotton was assigned to Laghman Province, just north of Tora Bora in eastern Afghanistan. He was assigned duty as the operations officer of a Provincial Reconstruction Team, where he planned and resourced daily counter-insurgency and reconstruction operations for an 83-member joint and interagency team.

I hope this isn't a violation, but God just cc'd me on an email to Mark Pryor. He writes, "I can move mountains, but even I can't get your fat dumper over 40% in the election. Y'all on your own."
