There is only one reason I love Hitch and it’s not because he knows how to play both sides or because he is muy smarto. But because he is true to his own beliefs.
I’m a Republican because I honestly believe Republicans speak truthfully about what they believe and are more likely than not to side with the truth even if it means hurting their own. For example, the Republican Party would have never defended the likes of a Bill Clinton the way the Left did.
Now if you turn on a political debate anyone with a soul will see that the Left (i.e. Democrats) is masters at spin, obfuscation, lying, strawman argumentation and changing the subject. It doesn’t matter what the debate is, the left will do and say anything they believe will help them win, regardless of the long-term consequences.
Hitch, for all his intellect and grown-up views, remains a BIG LEFTY. But unlike the rest in his flock, he, practically alone, refuses to lie, steal or cheat just to aid lefty causes/issues, most of which he is naturally inclined to side with. He calls a spade a spade. He voted for Bush because he is intellectually honest enough with himself to admit that Kerry is a sleazy, unprincipled mental midget unworthy of being CIC during wartime.
It saddens me that Hitch blames God for all the pain in his life and has allowed that pain to blind him to innumerable truths about God and His holy plan. But I pray, with all my heart, that God will find a way to open Hitchens’ heart to the hope and comfort that can only come from God’s grace and mercy.
