Heroes for Bush
This post was originally much better, but I saved it on a disk to post when the time came, and I'm at my Mom's this weekend. I didn't realize until it was too late that the computer I loaned her doesn't have a disk drive. Curses.
Because of Joss Whedon's recent show of support for John Kerry, The Truth Laid Bear has organized a blogburst with the title "Heroes for Bush." Many of Joss's heroic characters (and other heroes in various fiction universes) would support George W. Bush, in my opinion. Here are a few.
1.) Angel
No, the War on Terror can never be truly won, at least not until Christ's second coming, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't fight it with everything we have. As Angel said after his epiphany in Season 2, when he realized that he couldn't ever truly win the battle against evil, "If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do."
2.) Captain Mackenzie Calhoun (Star Trek: New Frontier)
Like Captain Reynolds of Firefly, who I'm sure has been covered elsewhere, Calhoun seems to be a strong believer in personal freedoms, and he's not afraid to buck the system when the right thing calls for it.
3.) Batman
Putting aside the fact he's rich (and Bush is "for the rich," as any Left-wing Loony can tell you), Batman's a strong believer in doing what it takes to protect people. I could certainly see him supporting the president in this campaign.
I could go on, but instead, I'm just going to provide some links to my favorite examples from the blogburst.
- Mister Pterodactyl: Spider-Man and Yoda
- Patio Pundit: Neo
- The Spoons Experience: Buffy
- What is Flig?: The Tick
- Coffee with CrankyBeach: Captain Malcolm Reynolds
