To all who are predicting the imminent doom of our country:Now give yourselves a treat - go read the rest. I guarantee you'll thank me or your money back :-)
(An open letter.)
You are right. America is done. It would be easy to argue with you, maybe try to calm you in a tender moment of bipartisanship and assure you that the United States of America, as you know it, is safe and sound in the hands of President Obama. But it would also be a lie.
You see, these past four years have been endemic of an America dying and last night’s election was a nail in its coffin. I’ll tell you a damning secret: I fought tooth and nail to kill that America–so reassuring you wouldn’t just be a lie, it would be terribly disingenuous.
P.S. I found that article on my Facebook page (thanks to a tip from the best SIL ever). While I was there, I also found this photo. Thought you'd enjoy it too.
Whose baby is that?
