HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!
It's official George W. Bush has won re-election! Despite initially contesting Ohio the Kerry campaign did the math and realized the obvious that even with counting the other ballots they couldn't win. I think that was the right and honorable thing to do. Instead of putting our country through a protracted legal matter with counting this and that he officially conceded at 10:00 Pacific, 1:00 Eastern time. He made some very profound statements about unity in his concession speech though. So I will give him that.
The reason Bush won are many, but one I will discuss briefly is his win in Ohio. This did not totally surprise me, because early on we found out that Ohio passed a ban on same sex marriage. This goes along with traditional conservative thought and along with Ohio being a traditionally Republican state, it was a no-brainer. George W. Bush walked away with an overwhelming amount of the popular vote as well. This just goes to show that America, as a whole, is a lot more conservative than some may have thought.
This is a brand new day with new opportunities and we should look to the here and now and not to 2008 to see how the Democrats can take back the White House and with whom. We just finished a very nasty campaign season and shouldn't anticipate the next one, but rather think about how we can succeed in and flourish in the next four years under the strong and firm leadership of the President.

It's a brand new day with things to look forward to as long as you're heterosexual. If you're gay, you're probably thinking you're not even welcome in America any longer.
So the banning of the rights of gays to marry is traditional conservative thought. Fair enough.
I have to ask though.
Do you think that this law is based upon religious belief? Isn't that a mixture of church and state? The Republicans were elected to govern a nation with thousands of religions, many of which are tolerant to homosexuality. Allowing them to make laws influenced by a singular religion is just plain wrong. The right of gays to marry is not up to the government, but the religion they belong to.
Would conservatives support gay-only bathrooms, or gay-only water fountains? Should gays be made to sit at the back of the bus? These laws, and the amendment they are spawn from, are nothing but modern segregation and disrcrimination.
