History in the making...

I don't consider myself to be prejudicial, and my ancesters were still in Europe when the Civil War was happening. I know the "minorities" have a right to be proud that we finally elected someone other than a "white, good ol' boy" to the highest office in the land. But give me a break!

Let's look at what really happened in history. If it wasn't for a bunch of Northern White Guys, the African Americans might still be slaves. The underground railroad was run by whites. And most whites came to the US - AFTER the civil war. So why do ALL whites get included on the wrong side of the racial issue? Do you think Obama was elected without any white folks votes?

The fact that a "minority" president will soon take office does not bother me in the least. But was anyone paying attention to what he was saying? Does anyone care that he HATES our Flag, our Anthem, and the Pledge of Alliegence? Does anyone understand that the CHANGE he wants to make might not be in the best interest of our Democracy?

The United States was founded on Christian Values. No other religion would have made her existance even possible much less a reality. Haven't we learned anything from history? Ours and other countries!!!

Was the fact that he is black a good enough reason to elect him? Why not someone else? I'm ashamed that the candidates in this election were the best that our nation could offer!!!

I've been around for a while, and seen good and bad come and go. This is the first election in history that has me scared. I mean really scared. I'd have been much happier if a woman had been elected. At least if something happened to her we wouldn't be looking at another civil war. Looking at history, riots in particular, and the reaction of the crowds on election day, can you imagine what a difference a presidential assassination would be now compared to any we have previously witnessed? I don't think our country could withstand the implications.

While I'm on the soap box - Gay Rights! Here again - shame on these United States! I believe that every human has rights. I'm just more than a little tired of having everyone elses rights shoved down my throat. What happened to my rights? Because I'm a hard working, tax paying, home owning (for a little while yet), too busy to be running around screaming my head off, white guy - don't I have any rights? Why if I act like others am I not politically correct if they are?

I'm sick and tired of having to set an example that no one else has to follow!!!
