Written 11/3 but just getting arround to posting it.
I must be dreaming.
It can't possibly be true that a majority of Americans do, in fact, respect traditional values.
It can't possibly be true that a majority of Americans understand that we face a determined enemy who believes it is God's will that they destroy or dominate those who don't share their vision of a 7th century world ruled by the sword, an enemy who will not simply go away or leave us alone if we just change our policies towards the middle east and the state or Israel, an enemy we will fight, somewhere, on someone's timeframe; it can't possibly be that a majority of Americans would rather fight this enemy in their backyard, on our timeframe; it can't possibly be the case that a majority of Americans do have the backbone and resolve required to achieve victory in this fight. It can't possibly be the case that a majority of Americans understand that it's not enough to be against everything, that you have to be for, something. It can't possibly be the case that a majority of Americans don't beleive that The President misled the country into into a war with Iraq in order to enrich Haliburton, Dick Cheney, Ken Lay, the Carlyle Group and others. It can't possibly be the case that a majority of Americans don't believe that America must obtain permission from a third party before taking action to protect its national interests.
Or can it?
Wait, no, I'm not dreaming after all; it turns out that Hollywood does not represent the soul of America; it turns out that in spite of a mainstream media empire dominated by the "leftist elite", in spite of the obscene amount of $$$ poured into the electoral process by the likes of George Soros, Harold Ikes and more so-called 527 groups than you can shake a stick at, a majority of Americans do understand. It turns out a majority of Americans are able to filter all the garbage and come to a rational decision.
It turns out I'm not dreaming at all; it turns out a majority of Americans are not "quite possibly the stupidest people on the planet."
It turns out a majority of Americans are actually able to withstand an uprecedented onslaught of spin, distortion and misinformation from a wide variety of sources too numerous to list.
It turns out a majority of Americans are as smart as I've given them credit for; it turns out I'm left with a renewed faith and confidence in the wisdom of a majority of the American people, and a renewed determination to defeat the forces on the left which would defeat America from within.
We did it!
Thanks for the welcome. I've been lurking for some time and finally decided to jump in and post. I know what you mean. I spoke with so many volunteers, who echoed my sentiments of "never having been so involved" in a political effort; that "as long as we all did everything we needed to do" we'd be fine.
I swore Klinton would NEVER be elected but personally didn't do anything to prevent it.
Again, so many fellow volunteers I spoke with echoed my sentiments of "if W does not gain re-election, it won't be because I didn't do my part."
I truly beleive W stands for We did it!
See my tagline. :^)
