It's necessary for me to post to my political blogs today, in light of yesterday's win by Barack Obama.
Firstly, I stand by every word I've written in these past months. My thoughts and ideas remain as they were and have been. But, I must accept the reality of an Obama presidency. It's there. And I can't deny it. I can fear it, but I can't deny it.
My hope is that Obama's 'hope and change' don't damage us too much, though I sadly believe they will. With a future Liberal Supreme Court, hard liberal Congress, and Obama to guide them all, we as a Country may have bitten off more than we can chew. It could take generations to repair the damage to our society. But there isn't anything I can do about from here except speak my piece on a regular basis.
The biggest ray of sunshine remaining to me is Sarah Palin. You on the left have bitterly and unfairly attacked her and her family unceasingly, and she has survived with flying colors. I think the Liberals of the Country will have much to worry about from her sanity and competence. She's a conservative and pragmatic star, and I believe 2012 or 2016 will be her shining hour---and ours as a nation. She still has more knowledge and practical experience than our President-elect.
The other ray is that in two years we can make some needed adjustments. The entire House of Representatives and part of the Senate are up for election again, and maybe we can correct some of our mistakes. At least that would put some control over the Liberal agenda in force.
I wish Obama well. I just hope he doesn't follow his Liberal leanings too far and to the detriment of us all. Our nation, its freedoms, its free enterprise system, its strong military, and the respect---however grudging at times---of the World are all important. We must never lose sight of this.
