Disappointment seems to be the state of affairs among those of us in the conservative camp. But this is not the time to despair. Face the disappointment and them step past it. Reality presented a harsh face to us, but it is not the first time, nor will it be the last. This is not the end, just the next step.
Governments come; governments go. Parties rise; parties fall. But the people remain. The people carry on and build a better tomorrow. Barack Obama and a Democratic Congress are not a danger to our souls and the souls of our families. We are secure in that, unless you doubt the power of God. Congresses and Presidents ultimately cannot change the core virtue of the American people. That is in the hands of each and every family that connects and builds its members up into virtuous, God-fearing people.
In four years or eight years, the votes will swing back the other way and the political agenda of the government will look more familiar. In the end, patience and cooperation will win out. Denial and despair must be left on November 4th as we move into November 5th.

Amen, Jess! You so beautifully verbalized what's in my heart. ONWARD!
Sorry to be negative but I think the reason conservatives are discouraged is not because we fear the government will impact our virtue or have power over our souls. Instead, we fear that the choice of new leadership reflects the PEOPLE's shift in virtue (America's values) further and further away from anything that resembles "God-fearing". I'm not sure another four years or eight years will bring us back to where we were before. The trend over the past number of decades has been away, not toward, Biblical values regardless of who is president. That is discouraging news, any way you look at it. There is reason to lament for our nation, just as the prophets of old lamented for a nation gone awry. The majority in our nation has voted without regard for virtue. We are not without hope for the future, but that hope is not founded in winning an election next time around. It's in turning the hearts of the people back to God, and that's a much bigger assignment.
