I'll post these random thoughts before the thread gets locked.
We're disturbed by an Obama presidency, but we've had some very bad times before. We made it through.
I had close friends who lived during the Great Depression. It was hard, but they did ok and made it through.
I had close friends who fought in World War 2. (My father was in Patton's Third Army.) If you've read history, you know there were many times it looked liked we were going to lose that war. But we made it through.
I remember when Kennedy got shot. Things looked extremely bad, but we made it through.
I remember the rioting in the streets re the Vietnam war. America was tearing herself apart. But we survived.
I remember Watergate and Nixon's resignation. We survived.
Remember the Carter presidency? Interest was 25%. America was being bullied by Iran. We gave away the Panama Canal. We survived.
9/11 and everybody is frightened again. We survived.
Bad times happen but America is a very resilient lady. We improvise. We adapt. We overcome. (Where have I heard that before?)
You're going to be ok, regardless.
The best thing we can do now is get busy. Stop spending time worrying about how things "might" be. Develop the habit of writing your Congressman. Regardless of how bad Obama might be, he can't do much without Congress. Let them know how you feel about gun control.
They believe that for every letter they receive, it represents 17 people who didn't bother to write.
And the most important thing you can do at this time is to join the NRA. Say what you will, they are the most potent voice we have in Congress.
God bless you all.
