Conservatism, Liberalism and The Presidency
Posted by Steven in Politics on November 5th, 2008 at 07:01am
Does anybody think it’s strange that in a period of four years, America has gone from choosing an extremely conservative president to choosing an extremely liberal president-to-be? That’s fishy. I smell impatience, dropping 401Ks and rising adjustable rate mortgages. The added bonus of feeling like you’ve made history by electing the first black president doesn’t hurt either. Who needs values anyway, right?
But I am grateful that I live in a country where the people get the president that they want, even if it’s not who I want.
And that terms are limited to four years.

Yes, “this too shall pass.”

Interesting also that the people of California voted to ban gay marriage while at the same time electing a very pro-gay marriage president. I think it proves that we as a nation are still mostly conservative… and perhaps just voted for candidate without really knowing (or caring) how liberal they are.
And another thing I’d like to say is that it’s not true when those against Prop 8 say it will not affect the way religious organizations operate. Remember a few years ago when Catholic Charities in Boston closed their adoption operation because they refused the government’s demand to place children with gay couples? That tip of the iceberg is a perfect example.
