Have A Purpose-filled Day On Purpose!

The Wilson Family

Nikki Haley

Election Day is over!  No more negative ads!  The people have spoken!  The GOP has taken over the House and a number of seats in their respected districts and states.  There are father and son combinations in this state in extreme decision making positions, Congressman Joe Wilson and his son, Alan as Attorney General.  Yes, the same Joe Wilson who disrespected the President of the United States nationally with the “You lie” outburst in the esteemed chambers of Congress.  He did apologize later.  Joe was rewarded by being reelected.  I guess no other President has ever done anything wrong to have Joe’s emotions get the best of him.  The son is now in place to replace the father some day.  The good ‘ole boy network is alive, doing well, and accepted.  We have our first female governor, Nikki Haley, who is of East Indian descent.  She enters the office already with a cloud of controversy.   That doesn’t matter since, this is a red state that normally frowns on women in leadership positions and has some of the highest domestic violence rates in the nation, would rather have a Republican female and a minority over a Democratic white male.  Regardless of the most qualified, the vote was for anyone who was a Republican.  Let’s just pray that those elected, newly and veteran will have all of the peoples’ interests at heart.  Money talks and big corporations got the money to change even a strong man’s heart.  We’ll see how strong and committed some of these officials are.  Well, the mean people seem to be very happy now.  I wonder if that will change.  I will remain a moderate and less of an Ultra.  If God blesses you, you should bless others.  But those that did not vote expect to see some more cutbacks in social programs, such as welfare, education and jobs.  No need to complain now, you should have gotten off your butts and voted.  Be adult enough to accept your responsibilities and don’t move back in with your parents.  I was depressed and negative about this new look but these same types of political changes occurred in 1994 under Bill Clinton.  He got reelected.  The differences between the times are the Ultras will do everything within their power not give this President a second term.  Our nation is at a crossroads and the only direction most people want to go will involve less government, less spending and more state rights.  My only concern is will state rights be repetitive of the Jim Crow days or Post Reconstruction?  I need to get over this negative attitude and remember that God is always in control. Thanks, Cheryl!  I need to act purposely in having a positive, purpose-filled day!  Thanks, Plina!
