The Death of a Nation

The Election 2008.
Getting up very early yesterday and spiriting myself over to the polls to cast my vote as a responsible American I was filled with pride for having the privilege and the right to effect a small amount of change in our country. Then came the results of the election early this morning. I felt as though I were on candid camera. Surely this could not be true, I said to myself. But, of course, it is true. We have elected quite possibly the worst candidate in the history of America. Barak Obama will tear this country apart with his socialist policies and dangerous and destructive foreign campaign. He'll pull us out of Irag and the middle east without resolving what we have worked so hard, and shed so much blood, for (even though I've opposed the war for some time now we still have a responsibility to finish what we started) at a time when we are making real progress towards establishing a functioning democracy. His economic plans are insane and mostly idiotic at best. The middle class is going to suffer greater hardship in this generation than in any other generation since the Great Depression.
It is a truly tragic day in American politics. I dread the next 4 years and pray to God that he isn't elected to a second term.
