I feel the urge to get a little political–you know, with the election and all.

I just got done reading this. Her November 3rd entry and all of the comments on it make it seem like it is the end of the world. The thing is–if Kerry had won the election the other half of the country would feel the exact same way. We would be lamenting about who would be appointed to the supreme court, what side of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict we would be on, and how exactly he would train Iraqi troops faster. There would be abject fear all over this land if Kerry had been elected–as there is fear that Bush has been re-elected.

There is such a polarization between those who believe in God and those who don’t. Is that it? Yeah–those who believe in a God with a set of expectations, in moral absolutes and those who believe in relativism. Where are the young voters? I’ve heard it over and over today and I want to stand up and shout, “I’M RIGHT HERE!” I’m 26 and I voted for BUSH *gasp*. I’m married with three children! But, I’m young and I voted for Bush along with a majority of the country.

I find it heartening that the ammendments about gay marriage passed everywhere. The vast majority of the country does believe in the sanctity of family and that children deserve a mom and a dad. I feel better about that than I do about the President.

But now we continue. Are we on the right path? I don’t know. Are record debts okay? Are more government controls over our children in school okay? Do we need to finance every fancy drug for everyone that wants it simply because it exists?

What I know is that there is war raging in the Middle East. There are people all over who want to destroy us and our freedom. We have to stand against evil–because there ARE moral absolutes.
