One of my best friends, Rei has been ecstatic. You
can see it in his livejournal here.
Y'know, as much as I still believe a horrible mistake has been made (mainly in terms of socialist, radical agenda)by the people as a whole. Rei's
enthusiasm is infectious. And y'know what? I'm glad for him. This is obviously FAR more important for him than it was for me. I can't really feel
it like he can, but knowing he's that happy... Well, hell dudes. Who am I to trample on that? Celebrate,
you've earned it in spades. I really mean it.
And, more importantly -- We just PEACEFULLY made a change in power that in almost every other country would have led to blood running in the streets and
violence unimaginable. That's something to be proud of. No matter that I don't like who we elected. Our system WORKS. It has ALWAYS worked, and, God
willing, it will continue to work.
As for we conservatives. We should be a LOYAL opposition. We should not express the conservative counterpoint of Bush Derangement Syndrome. We're better
than that. And we should prove it. We can honor this decision by the American people, be it ever so bitter. We can argue the issues from principle, not rancor
as we have always tried to do. This is not the end of all things. The republic still stands. Now we make sure that Obama does right by it.
