Despite what we think or believe about Barak Obama, today truly marks an historic day. Today, he becomes the first non-American to become President of the United States of America. That, my friends, is historic.
Oh, and he's the first African American to become President. (Sorry, Bill!)
All this aside, I hope this becomes a day when we can finally put racial tension and anger behind us. We are now the first nation in history to have someone from a minority group to be democratically elected to lead their nation. For this to happen, it took a great number of whites to vote for him. Even among those whites who did not vote for him, most did not do so because of his skin color, but because of his awful policies. Sure, there will be those whites who truly hate him for his color, but let's be honest, there are blacks who truly hate whites for their skin color. Racism, as I have stated before, is not reserved for only one race.
As Conservatives, we can now proceed in one of a couple of ways. First, we can be bitter and do everything in our power to take this man down. That, of course, would make us no better than the Reid's and Pelosi's who are so destructive to our country. Second, we can go forward working to protect our nation from dangerous policies, realizing the man is separate from his policies, showing the nation how to respect someone you disagree with and how consumed with hate the Democrats are.
In either event, Conservatives need to regroup and prepare for 2012 so we do not have to endure a full eight years of these horrible policies. We should not surrender nor roll over. It is time to fight.
For this historic day, I am proud to be an American, showing the world no matter how evil they think we are, we are the best nation on Earth.
