It's a historic night. To those who supported Barack Obama for President, I offer my sincere congratulations. I don't think many people would have predicted this a year ago. It was a well-run campaign, and your man won. I'll raise a can of Cherry Coke Zero to his health tomorrow.
To those who may be disappointed or dismayed at this outcome, realize two things. First, no matter how you slice it, you have to admit it's a pretty impressive thing. And we can be proud of a country where we've come so far past slavery and segregation that we can elect this man to the highest office in the land.
Second, Conservatives have to walk their talk. We talk a great game, but when a purported conservative introduces such things as prescription drug benefits and willy-nilly bailout packages, all the talk in the world can't justify those kinds of actions as truly conservative, but our opposition will hang it around our necks like a noose. We must actually be the kind of people we claim to be. Government, I believe, is best when it is out of the way. All I ask is roads and national defense.
For the next four years, we've got to find better candidates. Maybe some of those regular, Joe-Sixpack kind of people will get motivated, get educated, and get into a race themselves. We've got to get behind good, sharp people, and make our case.
Tomorrow, I celebrate what an impressive country we have.
And then... well, though I realize this little corner of the internet gets little attention from pretty much anyone... I suppose I'll try my best to articulate what I think is right, improve my game as best I can, and make my case.
God Bless America!
