I'm sitting here thankful that Obama won reelection last week. It turned out like I thought it would. However I have to admit that in the final months I began to fear a possible Romney victory. The hipocracy of wanting to reduce Government while at the same time over regulating individuals, such as on abortion or same sex marriage, has thankfully put the Republicans in charge of a declining aging voter base. I live in a wonderfully diverse city where I feel everyone has the opportunity to succeed. Living here has helped expand my views. I believe the lack of such experiences is what has many Americans clinging to the past. The ideals America was founded on, Freedom, Liberty, Justice, Equality, are still today the ideals I believe in and see championed by the majority of Americans, evidenced by the Obama victory. The founding fathers separated church and state to protect these ideals for all. There are thousands of belief systems. You keep yours, I'll keep mine. Let's agree not to impose upon each other.
