Conservative Politics Today

Congratulations to President elect Barack Obama.

I have received many emails from unhappy Republicans. Why? Though I am not happy about his election I am not going to enter into any derangement syndrome as experienced by the Bush haters or sit around and moan and groan. Certainly I am worried about the direction our country is going to take, however, this is the perfect opportunity for the GOP to get their act together, unify, and get back to its core conservative base. Will that happen? I have no idea. I do know I will fight for it tooth and nail.

But I digress. This is for another day.Today is Barack Obama’s day and all of his supporters. I will let them have it.

In one respect the entire country won by electing a black man to the White House. Certainly I would have preferred a Michael Steele, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, or J.C. Watts but that was not to be. But think about the magnitude of this event. Fifty years ago blacks could not use certain restrooms, water fountains or even be served at certain restaurants. Today one was elected to lead this nation. In this respect it is truly a glorious and telling day in our country.

So again, congratulations to soon to be President Barack Obama and all of his supporters.
