With due respect, this is not merely politics. If you think that is the case, you do not understand what is going on at all. If you think Obama will ever be ancient history, you do not know what is going on. I can only assume you have a job or an income stream that is temporarily immune to the destruction.
When an Obama Care bureaucrat pulls the plug on you, I wonder what you will think “politics” is about then?
Respectfully as well, I disagree with you.
It is just politics. Elections come and go, sometimes they don’t go the way I hoped, but life goes on. The Sun keeps rising, the Earth keeps spinning and God has a plan.
I don’t pretend to know what that plan is, but I’m sure that everything that has happened in the last four years and everything that will happen in the next four years is part of it.
In four years there will be a new President. In the meantime the current President is already a lame duck facing a divided Congress with a hostile lower house.
I suspect the next two years (and probably the next four) will be characterized by gridlock, and frankly, gridlock may be just what the doctor ordered. After four more years of an underperforming economy and endless foreign wars, the nation might just be ready for some real hope and change.
As far as I’m concerned Romney and Obama might as well have been the same person. Six of one, a half dozen of the other.
Both of them promised more big government, a bigger police state, and more wars.
A pox upon both their houses.
But anyway, I’m digressing here. My point was that our fellow Americans, even those with whom we have profound disagreements, are not the enemy. It is the State that is the enemy, and if we do not wake up to that fact very soon it will devour us all.
Politics is important, and there is a time and a place for it. But we need to move past the election and look to the future. If conservatives want to win the next election, we need to win over hearts and minds. We aren’t going to do that by demonizing people merely because they happened to prefer the other guy.
Either ways, its late. Time to hit the rack. Happy Thanksgiving to your and your family, sir.
