Judgment Day has arrived. The day to finally repudiate the disaster of the last eight years is here. The moment of a new movement for progressive change is at hand–an opportunity for us to finally get serious about the crushing problems facing our nation. From the economy to healthcare, from environmental protection to education, the nuts and bolts of this country have frayed and broken for the last eight years and it is time to stop it.
People are hopping mad, and they aren’t going to take it anymore. They are tired of our great nation being ground into the dirt by failed governance.
To my conservative friends, don’t get in the way of today’s earthquake, and do not be on the wrong side of history. It is not conservatism itself that is repudiated today–a deep philosophy with much to recommend it in its purest form.
It is the Republican Party of today that is being executed, a party that is anything but conservative. What is being repudiated is the hatred; the wedge issues, the gay marriage and abortion culture wars; the incessant tax cutting for the rich without any benefits to the poor and middle class; the insistence on de-regulating markets to the point where they became nothing but puppets for the “smart money;” the promotion of a reckless “my way or the highway” brand of foreign policy that has bogged us down in war without end and with hatred for America felt around the world; the out of control spending without making the necessary sacrifices. There is nothing conservative about this litany of abuses.
The world will be a far better place with a President Obama, guaranteed.
As for me, I already voted two weekends ago–while efficient, I wistfully see the huge lines making history today and sort of wish I could be part of them.
Instead, I’ll be joining a friend to drive elderly and disabled folks to the polls.
