My husband and I are going to dinner tonight with friends, who feel, as we do, that 'the change" we are about to see may not be to our liking. I've been listening to Fox News and Conservative Talk Radio all day. I am struck, as always, at the graciousness of conservatives versus liberals (especially in the Talk Radio arena). I am alternately grateful for the "high road" of the conservatives and frustrated beyond belief at the "mean-spriritedness" of the liberals (Randi Rhodes, I'm sorry, but you are like fingernails on a chalkboard).
Tomorrow I will attend a party with liberal friends who will drink champagne to this new president that they have so much hope in; tonight, I will toast George W. Bush, who made the tough decisions to keep us safe since that fateful day. He will not be seen as one of our greatest presidents, but he was a faithful one. God bless you, George, and thank you, sincerely.
Oh. A final thought. Another friend stopped by today and wondered aloud if she had influenced her 15 year old daughter wrongly--the daughter expressed frustration at having to listen to Obama for the next 4 years. Do liberals ever wonder if they have "poisoned" their children's minds with their politics? I doubt it. So to my friend and her daughter, I proudly say "congratulations!" Her daughter, and mine (18), are young conservatives and my "hope" made flesh.
