Tomorrow IS another day...

I'm not going to lie...last night was a very sad night in this household.  I tossed and turned most of the night, and eventually crawled in bed with Calvin just so I could see him.  It's my children whom I worry about the most.  What are we leaving for them?  How much debt will they be in charge of paying back to China?  What kind of lives will they lead?  

But today is another day and the truth is, we must suffer through another four years of a president who is more worried about being the most popular guy in school than actually solving the problem of a scary amount of debt facing our nation.  It's called a budget, Mr. President.  I have to set one for my family, and since you're using our money, we'd appreciate it if you'd attempt something that at least people in your own party could support.

I could go on forever, but here's what bothers me most as I log onto Facebook this morning and see the various status updates.  People who support the president are asking me to support him as well, if only with prayers.  They beg for Republicans to work together with the president to solve the problems of the country.  

Here is what I say:

I will not pray for the president.  I will pray for him to not run this country into the ground.  I will not use my time in prayer to support a man who is ready to trample all over my religious rights and the views of my church in order to make sure every woman in the country has her birth control paid in full.  That is disgusting.  I don't think a man who won his position back by demonizing a good and decent man who has been successful in life because of hard work is one who represents my values.  The public bashing of President Bush has not stopped yet, so I don't think there's any reason for me to grow fond of President Obama anytime soon.

I also don't think it's necessary for a Republican-run House of Representatives to work with President Obama to achieve his socialist goals.  The House of Representatives is a true representation of this country.  California isn't blue, it's blue and red...New York isn't blue, it's blue and red.  It allows citizens everywhere to have more of a say in what happens to this country.  Harry Reid recently said it was "laughable" that democrats would work with a President Romney.  So please don't tell me that democrats are all about reaching across the aisle.  I pray that republicans will stand their ground against the out of control spending that is happening in our country right now.  

I'm sad that our country missed out on a man who has proven himself to be able to FIX things.  He knows business and he knows how to create jobs.  He had no intention of restricting access to birth control or banishing gay people from the military.  I am sad that so many people cannot find jobs across this country and must resort to unemployment checks and food stamps.  No one should live like that.

I'm grateful that I live in a state where our economy and our budget reserves (oil boom or not) are in great shape and have been for a long time.  I wish Washington D.C. would take some pointers from us. I'm grateful that people in my state work hard and provide food for the nation and the world.  

You don't have to agree with my views, I know...but I'm still the same person I've always been, so if you liked me before, I hope you'll like me still.  I have many friends with a liberal point of view, and I respect their beliefs, but I won't compromise my values for the sake of "getting along."  It's just not in me!
