Yep, today feels like Christmas. Came a little early this year, didn't it? I am soooo happy this morning. I feel a wonderful energy in the air. And I can't wait to get this party started. America is finally feeling proud of themselves again. At least the majority of us are.
I was driving home from my family's house this morning (BIG election party last night with the grandkids!) and I decided, in the spirit of keeping my enemies closer, to listen just for a moment to Rush Limbaugh...to see what he would have to say about the election results. Well, it wasn't pretty. It actually disgusted me. I only listened to the first 10 minutes or so of his radio program.....in that short period of time, he spoke of angry, hating democrats. He told his audience it wasn't a landslide and that voter turnout was not exceptional. He told his audience that it is the worst thing that could ever happen to America. He spoke of a stolen election, saying that because of so much early voting, that it was voter fraud. That the whole election was in question. Bla, Bla, Bla.
Then, shortly after arriving home, my daughter-in-law told me that my son had heard Hannity, on the radio, saying he will lead the charge in denouncing Barack Obama and the rising up against a socialist America. Bla, Bla, Bla.
I suspect that O'Reilly and many others at Fox Schmooze will join that ugly chorus. Bla, Bla, Bla.
I had hoped, maybe somewhat naively, that for one day the Republican machine could consider the possibilities of working together. The possiblity of everyone reaching across the aisle in an attempt to right the wrongs of the past 8 years. Of making the attempt to right other wrongs that have been, for so much longer still, a part of this country.
Barak Obama will definitely have his hands full. But I truly believe if anyone can do it, if anyone can pull this country together for the betterment of all, it is Obama. His audacity of hope has become my hope. His dreams are my dreams. One of his many dreams and one of mine did come true last night.
On August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. said to America:
"......I have a dream.....that one day my four little children will be no longer be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character".
That one wonderful day has finally dawned. I have the audacity to hope that other dreamed of days are just around the corner.

There is no reason to listen to loonies that have radio shows spewing hate and ignorance. Just think of them as sad little "dogs" who, with their wimpy/limpy voices, bark and bark and bark knowing full well, they couldn't even hurt a small kitty cat. They now all have their tails (itsy bitsy ones at that) tucked under their flabby butts.
Love your political passion, keep up the good work!
