Thoughts about election day, and what really got me mad.

So the election didn’t go the way I was hoping it would go. Rats. For the first time in 30 years (in my lifetime) the vast majority of the government is Democratic. I thought two things watching the election coverage last night.

Number 1. I’m now counting myself a part of the “conservative underground”. I’ve stated before that this was the first election that I’ve taken part in where I voted for Republican’s across the board. I can see now that my political calling needs more than just my vote. Last night America voted for a whole lot of change… but some things can’t be touched. The Constitution, our Bill of Rights, the definition of marriage, the traditional family, the sanctity of life, the right to property can never change. I’m going to be doing a lot of letter writing.

Number 2. I honestly hope I’m wrong about the Democrats in this election. All I’ve had to go on is what they have been saying, so I don’t have a whole lot of hope for this, but time will tell. And this time, if things fall apart, the Dem (holding the majority) have nobody to blame but themselves. No Bush bashing to talk yourself out of stupid mistakes this time around.

Now, for what got me really mad.

Checking Facebook profiles and status updates to get an impression of the events last night, I came across a statement made that upset me more than the election results. (The name as been changed to protect the ungrateful sack of lard.)

‘Mr. ButtHead’ is proud to be an American again… FINALLY!

I’ve got a piece of news for you Mr. Butthead. You’re really part of the bigger problem. I have not once in my life been not proud to be an American. Even when my guy didn’t win the election… this morning I am still proud to be an American. I am proud of the fundamentals that this nation was founded on. Fundamental ideas that have seen America grow (in less than 250 years mind you) into the wealthiest, strongest, most influential nation in the world.

Yes we’ve made mistakes along the way, yes we have down right dropped the ball on more than few occasions, but name one other nation that hasn’t? Do me, and the other true American’s a favor… if you insist on being a fair weather American… leave.

On that note. Congratulations to Presidential Elect Obama. Please…. prove me wrong.
