It's been over a week since the country re-elected President Obama and many conservatives, including me, are still shaking off the shock and hangover. It's taken me almost a full 10 days to get the feeling back in my fingers and to actually want to post my thoughts about what happened last week.
Honestly, I am still not sure I am quite there yet but thought today that banging out a blog post might just make me feel better. I could just work.
It's not that I am still NOT angry. I am angry. I am still pretty pissed off at all sorts of folks including the RNC, GOP establishment, Team Romney, and whoever crosses my path with snide and small comments about Obama winning. How could the RNC let this happen? Hello, Romney was supposed to WIN. Maybe the multi-faceted, foreign national, MSM-backed candidate Barack Obama was just too much for the GOP who had the additional uphill climb of the long and drawn out primary battle?
Who knows, we may never know. In the meantime, conservative pundits like Dana Perino, Bobby Jindal and Scott Walker, all of whom I generally admire, have quickly jumped on the bash-Romney bandwagon weakening chances of unification among American conservatives and GOP who just want to see their country back on the right track toward prosperity for future generations.
Look, gang of The Five, Romney was right (and it's okay that he's a little bitter and talking, he has that right to given what is currently going down nationally and internationally), Obama did offer hand outs to the 47% and has been for years to anyone who is desperate enough to take the handouts. Have we already forgotten the Obama Phone? The proliferation of food stamps? Today's very high unemployment rates? Gross misuse of stimulus spending including "green businesses" of friends of Obama all or most of which went bankrupt?
We'd better start calling it like it is or we will never fix our problems or find a candidate that gets more than half of the country excited for real change — much like Mitt Romney did — for that matter.
For my own children's sake, I hope we, as a unified country, figure it out and figure it out sooner than later. I simply can't stand the idea of my children growing up living in a morally destitute and constitutionally bankrupt society.
I suppose we all knew on some level Obama was going to use any means possible to win the election. Let's not forget that liberal progressive mantra: the means justify the ends. Guess what, they don't. At least not for this elephant (still under glass).
We can only hope that General Petraeus is truthfully testifying as I type this post and moving the Benghazi story closer to the truth on behalf of all Americans and forcing accountability out of today's ever scurrilous administration.
Hmm, I actually do feel better having written this post. Time to go eat a Hostess Twinkie before they are gone with the Union wind too :-(
