As a true “Gator Hater” I am not to compliment the reptiles. Having watched the controversy over Tebow’s “abortion” ad that aired on during the Super Bowl, I can’t help but chuckle.

If you ever had your tail kicked by the big bully on the play ground you may know what I am talking about. You stood up to the bully. The bully did his thing. Pain and humiliation are your rewards. You doubt your reasons for ever having stood up to the bully.

Then a new kid comes to your school. The new kid has heard about the bully, but thinks he will be the one to teach the bully a lesson. Wrong. The bully prevails and you take some sort of morbid pleasure at another’s defeat at the hands of your rival.

In this analogy Tim Tebow plays the role of the bully, The Gloria Allred’s and their ilk are the “new kids.

Let me say, as a libertarian type, I am against most government, especially centralized government. If you are going to pass laws that affect my life you should have to live near me and face the consequences of your actions. Politicians should live among the governed. Relocation to Washington DC, or Hollywood for politicians, should not be an option.

I am not a pro-lifer. I am not a pro-choicer. I am thankful. I am thankful my mother did not abort me. I am thankful your mother did not abort you, dearest reader.

Back to the Tebow controversy.

The commercial was simply a Trojan horse. It, the commercial, had accomplished its goals before it ever ran. In fact, it did not need to run. The Tebow’s and Focus on the Family accomplished their every goal with a huge assist from Gloria Allred and the left-wing political pundits that fill the cable news day.

For two weeks, the left-wing crazies were gearing up in a prevent defense trying to stop Tebow from beating them deep. For two weeks Tebow advanced the ball down the field, chewing up clock, putting the game out of reach. Urban Meyer never designed a play for Tebow as effective as the one run by Focus on the Family.

I despise politicians, but enjoy the sport of politics. If there were a Heisman Trophy awarded for political campaigns I believe Focus on the Family just coached Tebow to another statue.
