We do what we’ve always done.<br />We stand up for our principles, as we always have — through Democrat administrations and Republican administrations,<br />in bear markets or bull markets, in peacetime and wartime.<br /><br />We stay positive and focused.<br /><br />We keep the faith.<br />We do not apologize for our beliefs. We do not re-brand them, re-form them, or relinquish them. We defend them.<br />We pay respect to the office of the presidency. We count our blessings and recommit ourselves to our constitutional republic.<br />We gird our loins, to borrow a phrase from our Vice President-elect.<br />We lock and load our ideological ammunition.<br />We fight!"<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2551212813135248174-1286457246496437074?l=optimismforourfuture.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>William Fanninhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07953986977703894191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551212813135248174.post-52723038624105224712008-11-04T21:08:00.000-08:002008-11-04T21:22:26.376-08:00This has been an historic day. We as americans have elected Barack Obama as our President. I did not vote for him. I do not agree with him on very many issues. But, he is our new president. So, though I disagree. I will hope against hope that a mistake wasn't made. <br /> Now that our election has come to an end, I will begin to look for optimism from our country. I will begin to look for optimism from those that I do agree with. And I will write about it. And I will give of my own optimism. And I will look to those who read this to offer their own optimism. Whether you agree with me or not.<br /> I will share my opinions and I ask that you share yours. After a few posts, you will know where I stand. There will be no mistake about it. That will soon begin...<br />For now, stay positive. This is America. Everything will be alright...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2551212813135248174-5272303862410522471?l=optimismforourfuture.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>William Fanninhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07953986977703894191noreply@blogger.com0
