God doesn't shout at us but if you quietly listen you may hear his answer. Pray can provide peace when there are no answers (The loss of love ones or anything beyond your control) Yes i do beleive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429112498261642865.post-36286706895844498412008-11-10T23:05:00.000-08:002008-11-10T23:05:00.000-08:00As an Indepentant I am in a quandary.

I am a fiscal conservative and a Liberal socialist, with a little old Catholic ideas thrown in.<BR/><BR/>My is a hope for a social progressive with the common sense to spend our money where it will do the most good (without graft) to encourage job growth, education, health care. Please let us do something for those hard working contributers who need green cards. Let's vet them and give them the right to work at decent wages. We need to give President Obama four years to see what he can change.<BR/><BR/>Sorry It is late and I ramble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429112498261642865.post-36693765567848489462008-11-06T22:26:00.000-08:002008-11-06T22:26:00.000-08:00Well done, sir!Well done, sir!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429112498261642865.post-56019939856686170102008-11-06T14:20:00.000-08:002008-11-06T14:20:00.000-08:00I am not as eloquent as Bruce, Mike and Steve, but...I am not as eloquent as Bruce, Mike and Steve, but believe - have to believe - that positive change is coming, and yes we can all help with that change - for the sake of all of us here now and future generations. I pray every day for our country and the world to get better, for all to find peace and prosperity in the years ahead. I am usually the negative one in our household, but this time I am the positive one - I hope Obama and the team he selects to advise him don't disappoint us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429112498261642865.post-41764751929342413042008-11-05T18:28:00.000-08:002008-11-05T18:28:00.000-08:00It is a new day.I woke up this morning wondering h...It is a new day.<BR/><BR/>I woke up this morning wondering how it will be…<BR/><BR/>to dream and work in at least partial agreement with a president instead of constantly resisting one<BR/><BR/>to appreciate and even support federal policies instead of constantly criticizing and protesting them<BR/><BR/>to see myself in the face of a president - whose ethnicity is different than mine - and with whom I identify closely<BR/><BR/>It’s going to take some practice to remain so hopeful and generous as I feel today.<BR/><BR/>I’m going to have to change some ingrained habits if I hope to work effectively with a government I have cried out against for so long.<BR/><BR/>There’s a lot of healing to do and deep reconciliation needed to bridge political divides.<BR/><BR/>President elect Obama is the fulfillment of a long dream, a turning point in the human freedom struggle, and the first page in a new chapter of public work against great odds.<BR/><BR/>I’m ready to begin… again. I’m ready to work together, to be "the people we’ve been waiting for." I’m ready to let tears of joy become a cry of hope. With cautious optimism, tempered by many disappointments, I'll join in the chorus today with Bruce and Steve and Barack and say...<BR/><BR/>Yes we can!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00593762632529271194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429112498261642865.post-9304371515037978002008-11-05T17:09:00.000-08:002008-11-05T17:09:00.000-08:00Bruce, great first post!

I think Obama, with his past as a community organizer in Chicago, will be able to inspire us all to become more involved and improve things from the ground up!<BR/><BR/>I'm anxious, hopeful, excited, wary, and many other emotions about the years to come, but I believe today and hope not to be disappointed. I know there's still work to be done (MN senate/congress elections kept Norm Coleman and Michele Bachman in office, and Proposition 8 was passed in California as examples), but I think Obama and the victory in the senate across the country is a great start!<BR/><BR/>Keep posting, and I expect more cynicism in posts to come...:)Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04033268926021181635noreply@blogger.com
