I Am Inspired

What an election!  I bet you are surprised to hear me say that but I am really excited.  I am not happy to see Obama win the presidency by any means.  I am happy with a couple of other aspects of the election. You may remember one of my posts from back in February 2008 and another one in May when I was saying it was time to throw the liberal Republicans out.  Man I took a lot of heat for those posts.  I have spent most of my adult life voting for the lesser of the two evils.  You know what this has resulted in? We have been getting more and more liberal Republicans.  We have been getting Republicans that are not conservative like the people that have put them there.  Our wonderful liberal Republicans have been thumbing their noses at their own constituents with the attitude that we would never vote for the other guy.  I voted for the Republican revolution in 1994 and have been disappointed with them ever since.  They have coward to the media an achieved nothing conservative.  They have promised the Christians everything and delivered nothing.

This is why I say never vote for the lesser of the two evils.  This is what the Democrats do.  Their guy can stab them in the back 100 times and they will continue to vote for them.  Although this is a painful defeat, it is really a victory.  Our Republican leaders will no doubt get the message that their own have become fed up.  John McCain was the final straw with these Republicans that have told us one thing and then stabbed us in the back.  He made a grave error and that was to trust the left wing media and their praise of him being a “Maverick”.  They painted a picture of him standing up against corruption in the Republican party.  No, he turned his back on his party when they needed him.  I say good riddance Mr. McCain!  Take your buddy George W. Bush with you!  We need to get some conservative Republicans in there that will stand for the conservatives.  I do not care if they are Democrats if they are conservative.

The other positive point of yesterday’s election was the damage done to the civil rights movement.  I am not talking about those that genuinely want equality.  I am talking about the Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton types.  These guys make a living out of making victims out of black people.  Instead of encouraging black kids and telling them that they can do anything including being President of the United States, they whine and complain while asking for donations.  Those are the ones that took a hit last night.  This morning when I got up to go to work, I turned the computer on and saw a picture of Jesse Jackson with a tear on Yahoo.  Of course the intent of the story was to show that the dream of a black person becoming President had happened.  The irony about it was that it took away his ability to say the white man is keeping blacks down.

Although I am not a fan of Obama because of his liberal stand, I am glad that we can no longer claim to be a racist country.  There will always be a few that will be racist but our country as a whole has not been racist for over two decades.  I clearly remember the passion whites felt for Michael Jackson in the 1980’s.  That passion was there for Bill Cosby when he had the number one television show in America for several years.  I am happy for the black Americans in achieving that dream despite the fact it was a left wing liberal.  I am just as happy the left wing, spineless Republicans were sent such a powerful message.  Conservatives wake up and stop crying about the election and recognize this opportunity.  Also let’s not forget that ultimately God is in control and is not worried.
