I am just now writing about this. I apologize. I did not get in the bed till 3:00 in the morning.
It is done; Barack Obama, by a fair and democratic election has been elected to the office of President of the United States of America.
I did not vote for him. I voted my Libertarian principles; however, I could not be more pleased by this man’s election to the office of President of United States of America. Why? Let me explain. It is not lost on this writer, that the Republican Party, in the last eight years, has become enamored and fully entrenched with Neo-Conservatism. It is this writers opinion, that Neo-Conservatism will be credited with causing the Republican Party to lose this election.
It is no surprise that anger, fear and finger pointing have began with the Republican Party. It is this writers opinion that all of this will be for nought, including a huge meeting of the minds, unless the Republican Party stands up and expels the Neo-Conservatives OUT of the Republican Party. These pro-war, ex-democrats are the cancer that have caused the Republican Party to be marginalized.
The Republican Party needs to be punished, and punished harshly, for one; electing a President based upon family name. For two; for allowing a President to take a nation to war based upon flimsy intelligence, without demanding to see more inclusive evidence supporting the claims of the President and his administration. For three; for allowing a President to trample upon the one document that this writer holds dear, The United States Constitution. Not to mention the many cases of corruption, the fact that John McCain and the entire Republican Party ran a election campaign based upon fear, instead of facts. The American people are just not that stupid, they know when they have been duped, and they just were not going to be lied to again.
Not to mention the many cases of blatant and subtle racism that took place during this election. Yes, I know, there was much of it on the left too. But does that excuse the fact that Conservatives partook in it? No. it does not. Republicans and Conservatives are supposed to be better than that. The Republican Party is the party, of whom Abraham Lincoln came from. The same Abraham Lincoln that said:
I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be “the Union as it was.” … My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views. I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free. – A letter to Horace Greeley, editor of The New York Tribune – August 22, 1862.
Do you now see why it upset me so much, when I saw Republicans acting like Democrats?
Having said all the above, I congratulate President Elect Obama. I will continue to Blog about Politics, I am not going anywhere, I will praise him for the things that I agree with, I will criticize for things that I do not.
As I said at the beginning of this piece, I did not vote for him, but he is my President and I will respect his office. I encourage others to do the same.
It is truly a new day in America.
I’m so proud of you sir I couldn’t sleep last night praying for God’s protectioin over you and your family and is my promisse to you that as long as you’re the President of the United States of America, I won’t stop praying for that! Congratulations and whenever you need help to take a step ahead just pick a corner at the white house and ask God. He put you there He will lead you troughout. Blessings for all of you, I know that together and with the love that I know reigns in your family, YOU CAN DO IT because with God ALL THINGS ARE POSIBLE “YES WE CAN”
Bush was a wonderful president you are a hateful person.
When I read these awful words on your blog, I think no that you are disgusting.
I hope you have a terrible week
Gotta LOVE them unhinged Conservatives! LOL! 😆
Well, God love her…. can’t help it that she’s stupid. Muhahahahahaha!

I am a republican; I did NOT vote for Barack Obama. I will support him as out president, but I think it is above IGNORANT to think Obama can delivery on even 10% of what he promised. He knew this when he said it; 54% of the american public bought this BS and now he is already, not even at Inauguration, backing down from promised os delivering anything and he is already campaigning for 2012. I got news for you Mr President – all the people that were promsed stuff they are coming for YOU! Also for all those people who constantly bash Bush, yes he spent way too much money- we have to give him credit since there have been NO terrists attacks here since 9/11. Let us hope that Obama can keep this up-but I doubt it. His ties to “terrorist like”
individuals shows he has too much compassion for those who want to destroy this country. Joe Biden was right – Obama will be tested very soon…and so if something terrible happens and many more American lives are lost…we will have all those people who voted Mr Obama to blame…. that is the reality.
