Dissent or Sore Losers?

Obviously my blogs are all about freedom of speech, dissenting opinions, and general rabble rousing against the injustices of the world.

However, as the internet makes us closer, it also allows people to show their true agendas.

As I peruse the Facebook statuses, I see a lot of powerful loving comments, excited people, and genuine hopeful acts of faith. Yet still, months later, there are underlining tones of bitterness. These people know who they are. They are the ones first in line to call liberals anti-Americans for questioning George W. Bush the last 8 years, the first to believe now President Barack Hussein Obama was a closet terrorist, and to ignore the blatant historical significance of having a black President.

To these my friends and colleagues, I have this to say:

Your historical apathy and tongue in cheek hope for political failure, not success, is how we ended up losing our way towards accomplishing the dreams of a species. While you will have your day to say "Ah ha!" because every man/woman is human, and mistakes will be made, enjoy this day. For today we are all jubilant Americans, and do not let our petty differences divide us on a day our Founders died for.

Nick D is BACK!

I don't think people truly grasp how monumental it is that the outgoing President peacefully handed over control to the new President, one whom was elected by the people. Americans are so uneducated on their own history that they can't understand how truly remarkable this is.
