The new day"We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit
of Happiness."
There are two really good things that came out of
this election.
The race card is gone. Individual racism will always exist, but the United States is not a racist nation. That's going to take some adjustment for some. The days of a near automatic trump by collective guilt are over and done with. This election will fulfill the real promises of the civil rights movement stretching back to the Revolution. No barriers because of skin color, but no special benefits either. Dr. King would have been proud, from now on it's about the content of their character. The second thing is the only reason I supported Palin. The Republicans invoked the Everyman Myth, and neither party has any idea what the long term will bring. But I do. Right now, all over the country there are people thinking that maybe one person can make a difference. In about four or five months, some of those people will look at Congress and other elected officials and think one thing, "I can do better than THAT!" The political parties can't neutralize them all, and some stand a pretty good chance of getting elected all the way up to Congress. Not a victory for freedom, but not a total defeat either. The KYFHO gambit continues and the pieces are still in play.
