Election 2012-My Thoughts

Published by AspieHooves in the blog Ramblings of a Pop Culture Junkie. Views: 345

Like many people, I watched the election this week with great anticipation, waiting to see which direction our country would go. Like many people, I was greatly relieved when President Obama was re-elected for a second term. This election was about more than just Red States and Blue States. It was, for all intents and purposes, a battle for our national identity. In the last four years, conservative Republicans were nastier than they have ever been and I was truly afraid that a Romney win would encourage them to be even nastier than that. What happened on Tuesday was historic because, for the first time, all the minority groups that the Tea Party viewed with such disdain rose up as one to reject altogether the politics of fear and hate. Those of us working towards a lasting peace in this country have much to celebrate. We've got more work to do, but today, we are closer than we have ever been. So ignore those who would mourn "the death of America", for theirs is a dying breed. Let us move forward to a bright future where the founders' promise of Liberty And Justice For All might finally be accompished. And above all, let us always remember to Love and Tolerate even those who would not do so in return.

Peace

    Differently how? I can't begin to tell you how many people I see making all sorts of rude and hateful comments, and when you call them on it, then they moan and wail about how "persecuted" they are. Sorry, but not being allowed to persecute others is not a form of persecution. What I was trying to say was that those people no longer have the votes to try and pass their extremist agenda and that can only be a good thing. So, yes, we should ignore them because unless they make an honest effort to change their ways, they have nothing of value to contribute to this new society that's emerging. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh, but that's the way it is, like it or not.
