What Now?
(NOTE : I wrote this yesterday, not knowing who would be elected. I wrote it in such a way that it would apply to either candidate.)
Today, the American people elected a President whose political inclinations are significantly out of step with the political inclinations of the vast majority of the American people.
This is a man who has, time and again, and on issue after issue, registered his own opinion as being in opposition to mainstream conservative opinion.
This is a man who has openly supported immigration amnesty, the scary-looking gun ban and additional restrictions on private sales of firearms.
This is a man who has voted time and time again for the expansion of government, and whose voting record reflects far too much comfort with the idea of using the federal government as an agent of societal control.
This is a man for whom Justice Samuel Alito, and many other good judges, were just too conservative.
Over the next four years, we can fully expect that our new President will work with his left-wing friends in Congress to enact policies which conservatives and right-leaning moderates will find abhorrent. If our new President and his left-wing friends are not challenged, they will continue to push American domestic policy ever further to the left.
I know a lot of us have been working very hard over the past couple months, but in truth, our work has only begun.
Our newly-elected overlords won't be taking a break from thinking up new ways to control us. Thus, we don't get to take a break from messing up their plans.
I certainly don't plan on taking a break, and I hope none of my fellow conservatives are, either.
