The People Have Spoken

Senator Obama is now President-elect Obama. After a decisive victory he will assume office with a mandate. His mandate has meaning, especially on the economy and new efforts at international cooperation. But it is clear from the results of the ballot initiatives that he has no mandate to advance a radical social agenda that would destroy human life and overturn man-woman marriage. His stated positions on life and marriage are not where the American people stand on these issues. We as conservatives congratulate him, but as conservatives we will be reminding him, today and every day, that values aren't just among the issues; they are the core issues. We must also remember that we live in the greatest nation on earth, a nation that sees the transition of power every four or eight years without the shedding of blood. A nation that sees heated and sometimes spiteful debates over issues but in the end we can come together and agree to disagree. I thank God for this nation, and I pray that He will give wisdom and vision to President Obama.
