Actually, my greatest satisfaction comes from being so wrong about something. I had too little faith in my fellow Americans. I had come to believe Americans were too ill informed after years of indoctrination by the mainstream media. I thought they had lost their sense of morality...black and white...right and wrong...good and evil.
Turns out they weren't fooled...they just needed something to prod them to action. They "get it". They are silent no more.
The MSM wants to pin it on gay marriage. But gay marriage was simply the straw that broke the camel's back. First they took away prayer in school. Then the creche in the public square. Then they demeaned the "Religious Right" at the 1988 convention and talked of taxing white churches because they were too "political". Tolerance of immorality became a "moral value". Then the Ten Commandments became "offensive". Gay marriage simply made the cumulative weight of all those insults too great for Americans to ignore.
I've never been happier to be so wrong.
I couldn't have said it better.
But Seide, who said Tuesday she would have preferred the conviction of Howard Dean to Kerry's waffling, voted for President Bush. She was in the 45 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds who defied rockers and movie stars, warnings of military drafts and condemnations of the war in Iraq, to support Bush.
Exit polls suggest that, as with Seide's motives for picking Bush, the war wasn't the driving factor that Democrats expected. Mirroring results across the board, more people in this group placed higher importance on moral values. The economy, terrorism and Iraq followed. The young voters tended to go to church, were moderate to conservative on abortion and split on whether they approved of Bush's job so far. More
