It's the most wonderful time...of the year!

Not Christmas.
Not Turkey day.
Not even my bday.
DEER SEASON! Here is my first deer of this season. A little doe. YUMMO!

Here is my father-in-law's 8pt buck. Both of these deer were taken on the same day.

I have two more tags to fill, plus Steven's and my nephew.

Disgruntled

I truly believed with the polls as close as they were, that the election would've been much closer than it was. I cannot believe the AP called the race at 10pm(ish).

For me, this election was a single issue - abortion.

I cannot cast my vote for a party or president that believes in the right to choose between life or death of the innocent unborn.

NO amount of tax cuts, economic aid, government reform etc is worth the life of a child. NONE.

I wonder how many brilliant scientists, war hero's, nobel winners, entreprenuers, and average good people have been murdered over a percieved 'inconvenience' over the years. And here's the real shocker...every one of those aborted innocent children could've been taxpayers!!!! My God, what would our economy be like today if only Roe V Wade would've gone the other way. Think about that.

Am I glad Obama won...yes. And here's why.
I am honored to see that this country has matured to the point that it can finally accept someone other than an old rich crusty white man into the highest office in the last. I am sad that I couldn't share this moment with Anthony. But I am moved to tears that he will grow up in a better world, if for nothing else, that America is truly becoming the melting pot our forefathers intended.
I am overwhelmingly proud that the civil rights movement blossomed into a beautiful and fruitful victory over hate.

Why I'm disgruntled that Obama won...
The kool-aid. My own interpretation of the sound bites and news clips of the downtrodden obamabots expecting MIRACLES to happen from this administration astounds me. Stupidity at its finest. People who are honestly expecting that the stock market will reverse course, we will become a super power once again, our economy will shadow all others in the world, that you won't have to worry about gas in your tank or your mortgage, that he will bring peace to the middle east, end hunger and famine, cure aids, cancer diabetes...even the common cold??? Ok, so I exaggerated, but honestly. People are in for a rude awakening.

Yes, I fully expect CHANGE to occur, but it will not be to the satisfaction of every one. I think Abe Lincoln called that one a loooooong time ago. There will be kool-aid drinkers who will say they were lied to. There will be the opposition who said "I told ya so"...and on the world will turn.

Foreclosures will continue to happen, people will get sick, there will be more wars. That's reality.

So here's my parting comments on this subject...
Obama, Pelosi, Reed....here's your chance. You better treat the sacred votes of this country as precious and work for the good of the people, ALL people in this land; not just the dem's....because if you don't....I guarantee you will see a republican whitehouse, senate and house in four years.

The upnote in all of this? At least I won't have to listen to 4 more years of democrats bitching and whining about Bush.
