Seriously. I can't even put into words the absolute disgust I feel right now at the stupidity of the majority of Americans. I cannot believe they (absolutely not we, as I had nothing at all to do with this idiocy) elected a first-term, most-liberal, Marxist, baby-murdering senator to be the president of America, especially while we have a liberal majority in the other gov't branches.

I'm either in the grief stage of denial or the stage of anger. Maybe depression. Possibly all three, with an emphasis on anger.

Is God still good? Yes. But I wish we didn't have to go through tough times to re-learn that. I guess we will be re-learning it a lot in the coming years.

Comments are disabled because this is harsh and I know some of you voted for Obama and you're wonderful people and I love you, but I can't take your defending him/the country right now. I haven't been this disgusted in I don't know how long, and I don't want anyone trying to convince me to get over it.

The intensity of my dislike for 50% of the American people has lessened a bit this morning. I think it's more denial kicking in.

I have a lot of really anti-Obama friends who are already praying for him. I'll get to that stage eventually (I believe that's the "acceptance" stage), but right now I'm just praying for ME that I will get over it quickly, and praying that people will not have to learn that, as Thomas Jefferson said, "A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have."

I actually think, though, that if he decides to buck his party a few times, he will have an easy presidency. The economy is cyclical and THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR ECONOMY ARE STRONG - no matter how many times Obama mocks that, it's still true - and it will probably come back either next year or the one after. Which sucks, because people will give him credit for it, when it will be despite him. The only things that *really* worry me are health care, being attacked by one of the terrorist groups who were praying to Allah that Obama would be elected, and that he will appoint Supreme Court justices who will not strictly interpret the Constitution.

My one consolation in last night's mess was that Jacksonville went for McCain. America and Florida as a whole may have betrayed me, but at least Jacksonville stayed sane. Barely.

For the record, I did know that Obama was going to win. I tried to resign myself to that fact, but I guess I failed in that attempt. Ah, well.

I did have a good day yesterday despite the sense of foreboding that hovered everywhere. (It was even extremely gloomy weather-wise all day yesterday.) I had fun honking and thumbs-upping at the people standing on street corners with McCain signs, and just barely resisted sticking my tongue out and thumbs-downing those with Obama signs. Hehe. Voting was fun as usual, and I didn't have to wait in line at all. Last night we went to AAAC's to watch the election returns, and that was fun and involved mucho junk food, as well as a few rounds of Rock Band. So except for the results, I had a good election day.

I think I'll leave comments on for this one, but as I'm not feeling very tolerant right now, I'll be deleting any "YAY OBAMA!!" comments. As of right now, I don't have to give equal time to liberals, so I'm allowed to do that.
