That's right. I'm not moving to France, buying a sniper rifle, or overdosing on any pills tonight before going to bed.The Democrat Party has won the election. And they won it in the House and Senate too. In fact, more governors are also Democrat than Republican.
But I am staying. I don't turn my back on this country when everything doesn't go my way. I also don't steal from or vandalize others whose views may be different from my own. I love America. It seems that some are just now realizing what a great place this is. Now that an African-American has won the presidency in a country that used to enslave people like him, more people are seeing that too. I feel sorry for them. They should have seen it long before. A woman doesn't have to be President for me to love this place and see the great opportunities women have in our country. Nor does anyone of any background have to win anything to gain my conditional love. I ALREADY love my country. Some say if Mr. Obama did NOT win, then that would set us back hundreds of years. Too bad for those people.
But I saw it before the election. I've known this place is great since I can remember. It hasn't always been that way. But it is. And its getting better. I feel bad for those who needed to taste the proof before believing in the recipe. That is why for them it is always ALL or NOTHING. For me, I just need a little something. So instead of focusing on the color of one's skin, or what sits between ones legs, let us press on with the issues.
So to you, whoever you voted for and whatever it is you stand up for, I applaud you for being you. And you should applaud God, that you were a lucky enough son-of-a-bitch to be born into these United States of America.
God bless the USA.

Good post. Condi has no chance though. Too much bad association with the Bush administration. Palin, Romney and Ron Paul will probably give it another shot.
God bless us, and here's to the politics of unity.
Go babe!
Here here. Good post Davey.
loved this post and feel the same way. God Bless the USA.
ps I voted for Obama :)
why isn't anyone saying "the first half black half white" president. Its driving me nuts!
amen and amen! this is sooo true! i hate all the focus on the race issue, to be honest, though i think it is very historically significant. is that why people voted for him?! i hope not! but dangit, we are lucky, aren't we, and that's the bottom line.
i'll call and tell you my comment
First off, I just caught up on your blog. So Happy belated Davey - and the halloween costumes are soooo amazing! :) And, go America!
Natalie - I don't even think his dad is all the way black - I think he's like less than 10% black, and arabic. So they should just say mixed president. :)
Well put!! Couldn't have said it any better.
