If I am hoping for something from Obama's presidency is that he will manage to change republican voters a bit. Because republicans will stagnate as long as their electorate is deeply convinced that going to church every Sunday is more important than getting a proper education. It's time for a change and I think Barack Obama can bring it. And it takes a lot of self-discipline to admit it, considering that my heart always beats for the right.

There's nothing wrong with my outlook on life and society. I and many others believe in personal responsibility and liberty above all, as enshrined in the United States Constitution. Obama isn't going to change the conservative electorate's belief in that - and if he tries to destroy it, he's going to find out exactly how strong that belief is held.
Fortunately, our freedoms are not up for world review and approval, and world opinion counts for nothing at the ballot box. And if the rest of the world hates a mindset of individual responsibility and liberty, their "progressive" collective can bite me.

In reality, I'm from the "leave me the hell alone" party. Only problem is they haven't had a candidate win in decades, so I'm forced to ally myself with lesser evils in order to slow the progress of those I really oppose.
I'm not selfish. I just don't see the personal lives of 300,000,000 Americans as being the responsibility of the federal government. I believe in small goverment and the ability of every man and woman on this planet to run their lives with the minimum amount of interference from anyone else. The use of government force for anything other than the absolute minimum to keep society running is tyranny.
