“It’s only wrong if you get caught.”
-Michael Moore

Don’t know if I can definitively tell you where character has landed … but it’s no secret that it took the red eye flight out of here sometime in the early 60’s.

You know, until recently, character and substance served as the funky bottom line bass note to our Western culture’s earth blessing groove. But since the early 60's it seems as if character has packed its bags, kissed its kids bye-bye and taken a one way flight out of our country.

From Plato to the Apostle Paul to the original American architects and builders, character was viewed as a non-negotiable component of liberty and justice for all. Unfortunately, what was an essential ingredient in our national blessing is now more absent from our postmodern milieu than Jessica Simpson during an Oxford Lit discussion concerning Shelley’s symbolism in Frankenstein.

Character used to be the staple of great nations, leaders and people. To lead, a few hundred years ago, you had to bring to the table faith, character and virtue. Nowadays, all you need is a killer $500 haircut, good taste in pop music, several botox injections, the right number of syllables in your last name and an off-the-chain marketing agent.

This goes hand in hand with the question I have been asking those from the left for some time now. Why is it that character hasn't mattered for 8 years, but all of sudden, now it does?

No one has answered me yet.
