Random post-election thoughts:
The Republicans accused Barack Obama of being a socialist and wanting to redistribute income. Well, the people have spoken and their message is clear: the USA is now a socialist country. I'm sure everyone will be excited when they Congress imposes universal health insurance, 35 hour work weeks, and 6 weeks of vacation for everyone.
I am a white Christan man who voted for Obama. After reading this I am having an existential crisis. Maybe I have already become extinct.
Also, I wonder why it is that so many of the policies which my faith leads me to support are those of the "non-Christian" party? If the Republicans are the party of most Christians, why don't they care about the poor? Are they reading a different Bible?
I remember hearing Jesse Jackson speak and voting for him in the 1988 primaries. 20 years ago I would not have believed that Barack Obama could actually win election as President of the United States. I am literally in awe of what happened in our country yesterday. The USA is certainly changing for the better.
