Is there any hope for American politics? Presumably not for the next four year at least, not with Obama in imminent danger of inauguration. Conservatives might be able to see a light at the end of the tunnel, but it’ll be a while. However, just as in economics there is the “business cycle” in which employment, inflation, consumerism, etc, rise and fall, so also in politics there are apexes and troughs in conservatism, and the trends of common thought are constantly shifting. There may be cause for hope yet.
Speaking of economics, we can take pleasure seeing capitalism and our financial system of usury taking a plunge, which hopefully will all be blamed on Obama. I don’t personally have any adverse feelings towards a recession, not having any money myself. In fact the current economic trend is one of the few things that I can enjoy.
This crime against humanity still going on in the Middle East, which doesn’t seem to have any close end, certainly can’t bring anyone joy. Coming in January, I will personally know four different people who will have served time in Iraq or Afghanistan. One more way that only Ron Paul had a good platform was his plan for an immediate withdrawal of troops from both these countries.
There is an old saying, “Sufficient for the day are the evils therein.” There’s no point worrying about the future and what it will hold. What will happen will happen and we can only take things one day at a time. Yes, Obama may be the President-elect, and disaster may be inevitable, but whatever happens tomorrow will happen then, and so for the moment just live. Right now I’m a college student with homework, essays, grades, and work on my mind. I don’t have any extra energy to devote to worrying about how badly Obama’s going to screw things up. All I can do is hope for better times in the future. All bad things, like all good things, must eventually come to an end.
