HOPE vs. HATE...and your children...

[goodboy]

Today we make history. After it's all said and done only one question will remain: What side of history am I on? A question that will be asked of us by our children, and our grandchildren.


Will you be able to say, "I remember a time when it seemed unlikely, if not impossible for a black man to be President of the United States. I remember when I was given a choice between unity or division, love or hate, black or white, change or regression, fear or hope.


I chose unity over division, love over hate, to break down the cold stone wall of racism, to become a voice for change, to look forward in hope-not backward in fear. I chose to ride the wave of the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King...to climb over the mountain top, to see the promised land beyond.


OR

When your kids ask you about this pivotal moment in the American story:

"I fought against change, I fought against unity, I used my vote to keep the country in the bitter grip of racial inequality. I looked at this historic moment and voted to stop this progression of hope dead in its tracks. I voted for an angry old white man who protects the rich and leaves the poor and unfortunate to fend for themselves, and a woman who would set womens rights back a generation or more, and who abused her power and violated the public trust who fanned the flames of hatred. I voted to line the pockets of the ultra-wealthy, and companies who've robbed the American people. I voted against your rights to have a world-class education, healthcare, good jobs, and an economy that works for all Americans, not just the super rich. I stood on the edge of history, and turned my back to change. Fear and hate decided your future, and the future of this country. When given the opportunity to vote to change the world for the better for you, my children, I voted no. I was afraid for your to grow up in a new country without color, with equal rights and opportunity for everyone..."


When you look back on today, what side of history will you be on?

1. I should tell you...

I posted this in response to a criticism I received on myspace for telling repukes to "suck it" in a bulletin I sent out with final poll numbers. The girl responded by attacking me personally, while saying she thinks everyone should have their own opinion...

idiot.

3. YOU ARE RIGHT. Republicans will have to walk through that fear and hate. Barack is hope personified

I want him to be able to be the most competent, best connected to the people at the ground level, and be the MOST forward focused man since FDR or Theodore Roosevelt.
