This election was not about the issues. Probably a very small amount of people even knew what the issues even were this time around. And if they did know, most of them did not even care. This election was probably more like "American Idol" than it was about the future of this country. That may sound kind of extreme, but desperate time require desperate words and desperate actions.
Americans showed what they really cared about and who they have become in this election. We have always been a self-centered nation. We don't have championship football games, we have the "Super Bowl". We don't have baseball championships, we have the "World Series". In some ways, this is not such a bad idea, being ego-centric. We are the leaders in most technologies developed in the free world. And when a good idea takes off here, we generally send this technology around the world. Why else would the rest of the world try so hard to come to this country? This is, after all, the land of opportunity where if a person works hard and invests him or herself, they can succeed. We even have the right to fail and start all over again.
One aspect of our selfishness we have unfortunately exported around the globe is the thought that there are no consequences to our actions. Every action has a consequence, whether it be intentional or unintentional. The fact that a woman can casually extinguish a human life just so she will not be inconvenienced is this thought taken to the extreme. A great book that NARAL and Planned Parenthood DO NOT want you to read is "Forbidden Grief; The Unspoken Pain of Abortion" by Theresa Burke with David Reardon. It speaks of the actual physical and emotional damage that women who have abortions endure for the upkeep of the politics of death. Even Dr. Bernard Nathanson, the last surviving founder of NARAL said that abortion was the biggest mistake he ever made and the greatest hoax ever pulled on our nation.
Sadly, in America, which claims to be a Christian nation, 55% of Catholics voted for a man who will do his best to undo all the strides made in the past 35 years to prevent the deaths of the truly innocent even though such actions defy cardinal principles of the Catholic faith. Even 25% of Evangelicals who claim to be "born again", and believe the the Bible is God's Word to His children, and which strictly prohibits murder, voted for Obama and against life. Now that may be considered an inflammatory statement, but the time for mincing words is over. If you call yourself Christian, Evangelical, Catholic, or even spiritual, it's time to put your life where your mouth is. Put up or shut up. Science is proving on a daily basis that the "fetus" is actually a human being. And all the rhetoric in the world will not change that.
All those enlightened people who continue to believe otherwise contrary to the facts need to open their eyes. And for you etymology, or word study, buffs, the word "fetus" is the Latin word for offspring or hatching of young. A pregnant mare has a fetus, an offspring of a horse, or colt, developing within it's womb. A pregnant female dog has a fetus, a litter of offspring, or puppies, in it's womb. Therefore, (or ergo, Latin for therefore) a pregnant woman has a fetus, or offspring of a human, a baby, in her womb. Women don't say, "My fetus just kicked!". They say, "My baby just kicked!". And with today's sonograms being able to view the baby in 3D, and in color, even a 4-year-old knows a baby when it sees one. So why don't the "enlightened ones" see it? Or do they simply choose not to? I guess that your political point of view can blind you from even blatant truth. No wonder Planned Parenthood fights the showing of a sonogram to a potential abortion recipient. Something like 85% of mothers who see their child in a sonogram decide not to have an abortion and kill their baby. And that is bad for business.
Which brings me back to what we have become. This is the second time we have elected a president using our wallets for our moral compass. And when you place your finances at the beginning of all your decisions, without regard to those who will be effected by your decision, you truly have become morally bankrupt. You might have monetary wealth, but what is the true cost of your belief system? There are consequences to the inevitible actions that come from your belief system. And they will be in effect long after all your possessions have turned to ashes.
