It's an Abomination! I mean "Obama Nation"

Well it happened-- our brothers and sisters have voted for a government controlled entirely by democrats.

Though they will likely not gain my vote, I do truly want to wish the best to the party whose principles I disagree with. I will not sit here and hope for more terrorist attacks so that I can rub it in their face. I will still hope for a swift recovery to our struggling economy, though a continued decline would be fuel for the conservative fire. This land is their land just as it is mine and I do believe that we all want what is best for it.

If there is one good thing that I hope will come from this more than anything it is this: I hope that the GOP will take this is a message that what they are is not wanted by the people they want to govern. A government is by the people and for the people and it is only good when the people want it. The GOP has principles that I agree with, but they have not been acting on those principles for quite some time. It is my hope that they ask themselves what they are if they are not wanted, and they emerge anew in the spirit of their core principles.

On Wednesday November 5, 2008 I left for work, and the sun still rose, cars still worked, there was still gas at the pumps, and I arrived at work to find that I still had a job... Perhaps we will survive the next 2 years after all.
