Lester CaudillIs it time for unity?
November 8th 2008 09:00
Now that the election is over I hear many saying it's time to come together as a nation, lets work together and support president Obama, it's time for unity. And even people that don't live in the States are so happy and they have sent best wishes and congratulations as well, the whole world is like one big community that Barack organized, you know that's what he does (Community Organizer).
Actual quotes except names have been left out to protect the innocent or not so innocent.
But I would like to ask a question where was the unity for the past eight years? Why didn't these same people that say give him a chance, actually give President Bush the benefit of a doubt? No these same hypocrites were name calling, trash talking, and totally not willing to be reasonable. Now they want republican be so gracious, something they were not willing to do themselves.
There was no hint of unity, no sense of common decency, they checked their morals at the door when it came to bashing Bush. So someone please tell me why should we be willing to be gracious wasn't that something they denied us, why should we give Obama the benefit of a doubt? What makes him more deserving than Bush?
Liberals want us to be gracious while they say things like this.
(Talking about Sarah Palin)
Sounds like the other side wants unity doesn't? I will pray for my country, I will pray for the troops, and yes I will even pray for my leaders, but I can not see how it will work when you have friends like these. A house divide can not stand. Do you think these are ashamed of themselves? I think not.

Thank you, for the demonstration of what makes an American.
Excellent post. Nice to see someone on that side being open and hopeful like the candidate they supported (McCain) instead of the alternative which can be found in some other areas of the site
Good post I'm really glad to read this and that you didn't take a negative route as so many would and could have done.
It's heartening to see someone rise above their own personal disappointment in the result to acknowledge this as a major moment in history.
You have shown your true love of your country by recognising that it is all citizens working together that makes a nation truly great. Well done.

I am pretty sure she headed home today (well yesterday now). The scary part is yet to come though. It isn't the last we have heard of her yet.
well at least Palin wont be going home empty handed, for the runner up we have $150,000 worth of executive wardobe! its like a game show!
Usually it takes the Republicans at least a few hours before directly contradicting something said.
there's this weird phenomenon that happens of Orble where conservartive bloggers consider themselves to be really moderate and "even-handed" until they are faced with an actual moderate, lefty, or liberal, and then some cogs and springs explode inside their heads and they over-compensate and turn into fascists out of spite . . . suddenly being respectful, tolerant and political correct becomes a huge act of evil . . . perhaps a psychologist could explain it to me one day
If Obama is elected *cough*, when Obama is elected I think we can expect some wide-spread red neck cleansing... and about bloody time!
99 right-wing fanatics on the wall, 99 republicans...
You knock one down, he falls to the ground
98 right-wing fanatics on the wall.
i think theyre busy trying to prove that the election was rigged

It reminds of an anecdote I heard years ago. A reporter asked a famous movie director what his definition of teamwork was. His answer: "Everyone doing what I tell them to do."
I suppose that fits the Republican definition of teamwork, but not most of the country's.
On an aside, though, Lester, I'm with you on the assault on the cloud picture. If he wanted to show it up as a fake, fine, but why the need to put in that last part? Yee-ikes.
