Tomorrow

I am not sure if anyone's mind is really on work today. I think we're all distracted, refreshing Drudge or twitter or FB. We know what tomorrow means, what could or should or won't happen. There are parties to plan, polls to analyze, predictions to make.

We know the world won't end tomorrow, even if the Obama presidency does not end. But a world of Obamacare, rising debt, increased taxes, stagnating growth, increased unemployment, and a less safe world could be consequences. It is ridiculous that the media is helping to cover up what happened in Benghazi, and I suspect if Obama is reelected, that will be his second term shame. 

We freak out because of so many anticipations we have, as we all want to change the direction of this country.  We want more freedom, more growth, respect for life, respect for initiative in small businesses built by the hard work of ordinary Americans, all of whom just want a better life for themselves and for the next generation.  We all want to see that shining city on the hill beam its brightness across the sea.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic has a rarely seen final verse which is appropriate here.

He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is wisdom to the mighty, He is honor to the brave;
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of wrong His slave,
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on. 

We want to see God in this election. And I am not callous enough to think the other side does not want that, too. But bigotry against people of faith is something I fear is growing accepted in this country, and I fear that four more years along the path we're currently treading upon will lead to further violations of conscience rights and a newer, accepted discrimination. The left of the Kennedy, of Rose Kennedy, would not accept this, would she?

We all have one vote (well, unless voter fraud is further perpetuated). We must trust in the people, and well, their lawyers too. And we know we can contribute time, talent, and treasure, but that is all we can do. Until tomorrow.
