I remember when Jimmy Carter won the presidency in 1976. My parents were not big Gerald Ford supporters. They were fans of Ronald Reagan (as I was, too. I was a junior high school nerd. Different column). My parents were very politically active then, and that was a heartbreaking election for them and even me.
But I’ll never forget my dad saying, a few months later, “Well, Jimmy Carter is our president now, and we have to respect him. That’s what happens in a democracy.”
Wow — did that ever impact me.
So here we are in 2008, and I’m giving the same speech to my kids. Let’s just say I had to rehearse it a few times. (Let’s just also say that the relative calmness and equanimity, even graciousness, with which conservatives in general have greeted the Barack Obama win after a hard-fought fight, is in stark contrast with the raging hostility that typically greets Republican presidential victories. I particularly remember the “world is ending” mass freakout by the left after Ronald Reagan won.)
Anyway, I myself am spelling out a little bit more the concept my dad was striving at: Whatever one thinks of the person who holds an office, one has to respect the office itself.
That really is the difference between a civilized world and an uncivilized one.
It’s also respecting authority itself, something in which much of our culture is sorely lacking, but a concept utterly necessary to the common good. It’s like this: If a police officer pulls you over, no rational person is going to ask him if he’s “earned” his authority to do so that day.
They are going to respect the badge. The officer himself might be a jerk. And in extreme cases, he might be rightly removed from his position.
But, he has authority not because he on his own inherently commands it, but because he’s had it vested on him by his office. That understanding is fundamental to our survival.
But more and more we really don’t like authority in our culture unless we, well, like the authority and what it’s doing for us. Going along with someone, a teacher, a boss, a baseball umpire we’re happy with, whose calls serve our purposes, is just fine.
Give me one I really don’t like, who doesn’t make things go my way? That’s a whole different ball game.
My kids have all had teachers they don’t “like.” I tell them it doesn’t matter. They have to respect them anyway, they have to genuinely try to regard their teacher positively, and in fact, in that way they might learn more from a teacher they don’t “like” than one they do like.
Ditto a boss, for instance, in the future. In fact lots of times my kids don’t “like” me. Too bad. I’m a permanent office holder in their lives.
Scripture says, “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.”
It doesn’t say God always makes sure the best guy or gal gets the job. Just that he has his purposes we can’t always see, and that rightly submitting to authority (accounting for appropriate and lawful challenges and critiques, of course) is good for us practically and spiritually.
So, back to Obama, and what I told my kids: Whether we like the person in the presidency or don’t, the office of the presidency transcends the man. And we must honor it, and by extension, him.
One practical application? We should genuinely hope and pray that Obama, or any president, lives up to the expectations of his supporters, not his detractors.
I think my kids are a little surprised at my response to all this. But it’s a good lesson for them, and a good reminder for me.

The vast majority of rascals are getting reelected tonight. That’s the bad news.
But since I am a “glass one-eighth full” kind of guy, let’s focus on some of the bad guys going down in flames.
Here are two of my favs from the evening so far. Who else should we be celebrating here?
Chris Shays, a Connecticut Republican and one of the most pious and greasiest members of the House, just conceded victory. He weaseled his way into another term in 2006 and then double-crossed voters who thought he had reformed.
Elizabeth Dole just saw her Senate career crash and burn. At least North Carolinians have repented of their folly in electing her in 2002.
I had some fun with Dole’s campaign for the presidency. Here’s the lead paragraphs of a piece touting her achievements from the American Spectator from June 1999:
HEADLINE: Liddy Dole’s Regulatory Ride
BYLINE: James Bovard.
Maybe it is my fault that Elizabeth Dole is famously terrified of “unscripted” encounters with the press.
Ten years ago, researching an article on a federal job training program for Reader’s Digest, I asked for an interview with then-Secretary of Labor Dole. Her press secretary put me off, first wanting to know whether the secretary’s picture would appear with the piece. (I told her that, since I was a mere freelancer, such matters were out of my hands.) Finally, after much suspense, I learned that a 30-minute meeting would be granted.
On October 12, 1989, Bill Schulz, the managing editor of Reader’s Digest, and I arrived for our appointment with Dole. We barely had time to enter her palatial office suite and sit down before the secretary launched into a filibuster about what the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) meant to her. She picked up a framed photograph from her desk showing her hugging a black teenage girl at a White House ceremony the previous July, and recalled: “She cried–and I cried–and we hugged!” Dole kept talking rapidly, seemingly to run down the clock.
I finally interrupted her in mid-sentence and asked, if JTPA was such a well-run program, why had it given $3 million to finance a gay job-matching network run by the Gay and Lesbian Service Center in Los Angeles?
Dole froze. After a pause, she said she did not know anything about that. Schulz and I asked for her response to findings of the General Accounting Office and the Labor Department’s inspector general about deep structural flaws in the program. Looking indignant, she declared that she had not expected to be asked those kind of questions. She showed no awareness of any of the major criticisms raised by the government’s own auditors. About this time, I noticed that the press secretary’s knees were visibly shaking and I feared that the young woman might faint at any moment. Dole soon made it clear that the interview was over.
Elizabeth Dole is revered by moderates and much of the media, hailed as the Republican answer to the gender gap, and treated as one of our most distinguished public servants. In fact, during her tenures as Reagan’s secretary of transportation and Bush’s secretary of labor–the most significant jobs in her political career–Dole blundered blindly from one wrongheaded and costly program to the next. Having helped open some of the worst public policy Pandora’s boxes of recent decades, she remains oblivious to the resulting damage. Now touted as a realistic possibility for the Republican presidential nomination, her record suggests that she would actually be more at home in the pro-regulation, anti-business mainstream of the Democratic Party.
