The Day After...

I went to bed last night feeling pretty bummed, but not too bad, only to wake up this morning feeling like the world as we know it has changed drastically. Laugh if you want, but I'm freaked out. The implications of universal health care (and not being able to see a doctor when you need to), of huge taxes on corporations and families that support our economy, and the fact that we have not just a democratic government across the board now, but they are all very far-left is frightening to me.

When this whole race began (almost 2 years ago... wow, that's way too much campaigning), I was almost positive a Democrat would win because oddly enough, Americans these days seem to think all Republicans are President Bush. Frankly, I didn't care. I figured the candidate would be like Bill Clinton, not do too much damage to the country, and then the Republicans would have a comeback later. I also thought that the candidate wouldn't be able to pass everything on his agenda because the Republicans in office wouldn't allow it. As the campaign went on, however, I realized this wouldn't be the case. Obama is a very liberal senator, and along with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, he can just go to town with his liberal agenda. Nobody is there to counter it, nobody is there to stop it - absolutely nobody.

Well, I could keep going on, but I'm going to stop because frankly, dwelling on it isn't making me any happier. But just one last thing. For that anonymous commenter on my blog (whose comment I'm not going to share with you all because it was very mean-spirited), please don't comment again. There is absolutely no reason for your hateful comments about Republicans. Your candidate won - go party, get drunk, and celebrate socialism - but don't come posting things on my blog that are completely inappropriate and downright mean. It shows poor character, to say the least.

Because of that comment, I may be making my blog private soon. More details coming. -Ash
