NA, NA, NA,NA, HEY HEY HEY
to complete the rest...Good-bye.
Well, you'll just have to forgive my gloating, my exuberance at the results of the Republican Shellacking, as Mr. Obama called it.
Pleased? Definitely. Except for three losses--to Quinn in IL, to Reid, in Nevada, and to Frank in Mass. What? No complaint about Jerry Brown.
Well, what do you expect from the People's Republic of California? And they set such a fine example of budget management and fiscal responsibility. Not to mention morality.
And while I'm there, only one candidate did I hear or read about mention God. I read a lot and watched a lot--not junkie a lot, but quite a bit. A local losing candidate, a Democrat in MTV, Steve Langa said after his loss that God had bigger and better plans for him. Amen, Steve. And if you run again, you'll have my support though I can't vote for you unless you move.
What I heard was happiness from the winners, but also a lot of pride. I heard plans, but not a lot of turning to God for guidance. I heard a lot about "taking back this country", but nothing about returning to its foundations: religion. Even Ben Franklin, possibly an agnostic, talked on different occasions about the blessings of Our Maker.
Christians may not be the moral majority in America anymore. That is so sad. We have embraced other cultures in the name of tolerance, but rejected our own culture based on Judeo-Christian values and beliefs. We're becoming Europeanized all right. Where in some countries 67% are atheists or agnostics. Where beautiful centuries- old cathedrals are unoccupied.
This election didn't turn that around. For them I'm deeply saddened. When I taught high school students English ( if I say I taught English, then I'd be subject driven--believe me I wasn't) that cheer "na, na, na,na" was popular. I'm glad to say good-bye with a sarcastic wave of the hand to Pelosi and company. But I'm sure not ready to embrace the new regime until as we returned to basics in education, they as political leaders return to basics and prioritize: God, family, country, self. In that order. Then I'll really celebrate.
