On the Day (or two) After the Election

First and foremost, major congratulations to President Elect Barack Obama. His election marks a major landmark in American history and a truly admirable accomplishment. Mr Obama and his family have been and will be in our prayers for the days, weeks, months and years to come. May God grant him wisdom and foresight, and may he be a leader that increases the liberty and virtue of our nation.

It is a good day to be an American.

The Republic has once again withstood a complete change of government, and no blood has been shed. We Americans take this for granted, but this has rarely been the case in the course of world history.

Faith in the election process has been restored for half the nation. Although we could argue about their reasons for doubting the process in the first place, that fact is worth noting. It is a bad thing when a significant portion of the nation believes they have been disenfranchised of their vote. If McCain was the necessary sacrificial lamb to set this right, we could not have asked for a better man, full of integrity and honor, to endure the loss of a long and difficult election. I hope that our friends on the Left take note...as we fully intend to return to power; remember, the Republic is more important than the results of the election, and tough as some loses may be, the nation needs both sides to come together in the aftermath.

It is important to remind ourselves (those of us frustrated Conservatives) that this is part of the political process. Loses are part of the game...and much good can come from having to re-examine our approach.


Let us pray for the President-to-Be and draw together as Christians and country-men.
