You're probably not surprised that America elected Barrack Hussein Obama, but I am. I honestly believed that we were smarter than that. And I'm not disappointed in the Obama voters; most of them can't help themselves. They're simply a product of failed social theories, a vapid public school system that provides no historical reference and teaches children that we're all winners, and a greed-motivated pop culture that demands success and instant gratification with no personal effort or responsibility.
I'm angry with the conservatives, whom I know are out there, but sat their apathetic asses on the couch, watching FoxNews, agreeing with Sean Hannity, laughing with Rush Limbaugh, shaking their fist at Keith Olbermann, yet didn't get out and vote. They'll go to church and "Amen!" to the stories of the crumbling of American core values. They'll bitch to their co-workers about how America is going down the tubes. They'll run out and buy guns because they believe they'll be harder to come by next year (or worse, they know they'll increase in value), but they won't put forth the effort to vote. They won't actually integrate themselves into the system and help guide it. Satisfied to sit on the sidelines and complain that we're going to hell in a handbasket, these so-called conservatives have let us down. If you're one of these arm-chair conservatives, shame on you.
This race was labeled many things: a battle of the Haves vs. the Have-Nots, the Good vs. the Evil, the Rich vs. the Poor, the Black vs. the White. In reality, it was all of these things at one point or another; but moreover, I believe this contest pitted those who believe in the minimalist and conservative ideals of the Founding Fathers and the spirit of the Constitution vs. those who believe in a large, 'benevolent' Federal Government that will cradle and nurture all Americans like a loving parent. This was a race between personal responsibility vs. relinquishing our rights and responsibilities to Big Brother. This election was a contest between those who work hard and want to retain the fruits of their labors vs. those who are jealous of your success and want to take it from you.
Today, I mourn for America. I expected more. Living in Texas, I suppose my reality is a bit skewed. Would that all Americans were Texans.
