kidd Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 As I sit and watch as people debate on who was voted into office. Agree or disagree is not the point of this thread. The point is we as Americans can go to the polls and vote with out worry of getting shot...This is what this election means to me. I got a chance to vote because brave Americans before me died for this right. I got to take part in something alot of people around the world would love to do!!! Thanks to all the brave men and women who serve this county for the freedoms we enjoy!!! Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogdoc Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 very good point. I am trying my best as a father to relay that exact message to my two young daughters. I picked up my daughters from school yesterday and took them to them with me to vote. I actually let them fill in the ballots so they could feel that they were part of the voting process. After we voted I talked with them about how lucky we are that we have the right to vote and how many American have died so that we may have the freedom to elect our leaders. When we got home in the evening the girls were stuck to the TV watching the outcome. My oldest daughter who is 8 finally went to bed and asked me to wake her to tell her who was going to be the next president. She was disappointed on the outcome but I was proud of her for being so interested in the future of our country. I thought McCain's speech last night was awesome. Yes I am a little nervous however I was also very nervous when Bill Clinton was elected and my life didn't really change much except for a few more tax dollars. I don't own an assault rifle and probably never will but do feel that is a right for every honest american to own. Whether Obama is tied or still involved with possible terrorists--I don't know. I can only pray not but I will also continue to pray that the leaders of this country continue to make this the greatest country on earth and I am still very proud to be an American and would never want to live anywhere else. I feel priviledged to live in a country where I can worship the God of Abraham and not feel in danger. I am proud that I can live in a country where I can send my kids to a school (it is private) where they pray every day and worship God in school. Along with me and other conservatives this can be a nervous time but I would NEVER want to live anywhere else--and if the country does get into trouble with Obama you can never blame the GREAT STATE of OKLAHOMA as around 65% voted for McCain:) God Bless the USA!

arrow32 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Good point. But I know so many people who say he isn't there President. I dont know where I stand on that but who knows. He is what he is and there is nothing I can do about that at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
