As an American I am so relieved. Tears welled in my eyes as I listened to Barack Obama's victory speech. Like so many Americans who came to believe in his Presidency and voted for him and for the greater purpose that he represents, I too say, "yes, we can".
There is a great wind of change now rising up across the desert of America. I sense that this is just the beginning of something much larger that will transform the landscape of America forever. As I said in my previous post, Obama is just it's first emissary. For all the years spent in a cultural and spiritual sandtrap over the continuous defeats at the hands of the political and social Right, The Ant had seen the way out, a hand-hold, but just beyond reach, that was comprised of the highest ideals of the American Progressive Left, and now it seems we have finally extricated ourselves.
Those on the Right who hijacked the country and subverted the higher calling of America to their own selfish ends in the name of things like "American foreign interests" and at home the disparagement of a "welfare state", can now find their way out of the hole they have dug for themselves - an abyss. Let them reside there for the Legion they are for an eternity.
Obama has transformed the political culture of the United States and created the possibility not only for a post-Bush cleanup, but a cleanup of the last 60 years of American right-wing political dementia.
Let it be so.
