I think it is a great accomplishment that America has an incoming black president. I hope that black Americans will understand that the playing field is level and that if you work hard you can accomplish your dreams. I hope that it will help this country grow together instead of apart.
I do have to write about these things, too, though. The funniest thing about this election is the masses of people saying how wonderful it is that, “America finally got it right” and “we’re going to see CHANGE!” and so on. Hahahaha! What are they smoking? What is it they expect him to change? Oh my. What a funny funny joke. Neither candidate was going to bring change, unless you mean the kind of change that will be left in our pockets after they allot more money to government spending programs. Pennies, my friends.
The frightening thing about this election is that during my day today, amongst the, “yay! we’re gonna have CHANGE!” crowd, I was also concerned. One table away from me, two friends were discussing REPARATIONS, and that Obama will be the one to finally supply them. They sounded so happy and serious. And that is frightening. Do you want to go there? Because my Irish ancestors weren’t treated well by the British or by the initial colonists here in America. And my relatives that were impacted by the actions of the Nazis. If this society is going to talk reparations, then cut us ALL a check. Nobody has made it through life without being wronged by somebody.
Anyway. enough of this garbage for today. I didn’t like either candidate, but I thought McCain would – at least continue to steer us away from Socialism. Hey, I’ve seen Socialist healthcare in other countries firsthand. Not pretty. And the living conditions….everyone with the same, small home, with barely any “extra” for spending on things outside of foods. And most people don’t earn enough to own, so they rent, but they can’t even afford to pay a full rental, so they get subsidized housing from the government…because why not? The government has taken most of their income from every paycheck, so they can feel “SAFE.” That is terrifying to me.
