Satan Loves Tony Blair, But Do the Voters?

Published on June 15, 2004 By blogic In Humor

For those of us interested in the End Times and politics, British Prime Minister Tony Blair is a mountain in our mental landscape.

With his debonair faux-Eton accent, slightly too bright look, and prominenence in international politics, he seems a good candidate as someone indwelt with the Father of Lies. In addition, there was the irony that he appears to the world as a lackey of George Bush; but to those of us in the know, the more likely truth is that Blair is pulling Bush's strings. Blair is bringing about his own goal, which naturally enough, him being the Prince of Darkness and all, is the the reign of Satan on Earth and presumably taking control of Heaven.

Hey, it was all just a big mistake that the current He holds sway up there.

Finally, there's the important that for the generation of us who grew up watching "The Omen" movies, Sam Neil represents our vision of the anti-christ. Sure, Neil is a New Zealander, not British; but hey, close enough, right? Anyway, Sam Neil can be really scary, has starred in movies that are frighteningly bad ("The Event Horizon"), and even looks something like Tony Blair. Well, they're both white, and they're both British. Oh wait, Neil isn't British. Close enough!

Anyway, you can imagine how disappointed I was that Atlantic Magazine has all but pronounced Tony Blair's political career over. Say it ain't so! In the current issue, they argue that Blair's moralistic black-or-white view of international politics is what has brought him low, to the brink of electoral defeat.

Shouldn't Lucifer see things in black and white? The last thing I want is a devil who quibbles about shades of evil, or starts getting postmodern on my ass, and talking about how the banality of evil is what's really evil. Come on!

I still think Atlantic Magazine has got it wrong. Don't underestimate Tony Blair. You can't keep a bad man down, and He knows that better than any.
