My wife and I watched most of the election coverage on FOX news. We were both hoping and praying that Americans would see through the smoke and mirrors being offered by Barack Obama and pick John McCain or at least not cast a vote for Obama.
Once the outcome was announced by FOX news we both sat stunned for a while. I of course eventually became angry, wondering what exactly has happened to so many Americans that they would want to point our country south towards Obama's obviously extreme left views. My wife had a different reaction which really took me by surprise, she quietly began to cry. You see she started really paying attention to this election and the ideas and philosophies that were being thrown around several months back. It really scares her, not just for what could happen in a few years but what can happen to our childrens future. I have been so proud of the interest and passion that she has exhibited, and she has been key in helping at least one person to make an informed decision and influenced many others.
I tried to comfort my wife, telling her that everything would be okay. Not to worry I would take care of us. She continued to cry. I pray that everything will be okay, I hope that Barack Obama will do a good job at being President of the USA. Most importantly I hope and pray that he will not lead our country down a path of darkness that has not worked in any Nation in the world. Yes I am speaking about Socialism. Election night proved to me that there must be a serious disconnect in American morals and values. How any one law abiding, god loving citizen could cast a vote for Obama in my eyes is incredible. The questionable and radical associations alone are astounding to me that anyone would consider him.
So what can I/we do? I for one will pay particular attention to new legislation/bills/ideas that are being presented in Congress. I will contact my State Senators and Representatives concerning these. I encourage you to do the same.
