The polls in Indiana close in about 10 minutes. It should be a good night for conservatives in the Hoosier state and most places around the country. The electorate is about to give Obama a well deserved kick in the groin for his arrogant incompetence. The establishment liberal media is already thinking of ways it can further denigrate the American people's intelligence. Undoubtedly, we will hear words such as fear, ignorance, emotionalism, racism, sexism, homophobia, and other canards of liberal babbling will disgorge from the mouths of leftist political paladins. I'm looking forward to seeing Chris Matthews lose that tingle he felt toward Obama two years ago, watching Keith Olberman's face turn beet red and explode in thermonuclear rage, and, best of all, watching Rachel Maddow's face spin in demonic agony like Linda Blair's face did in the Exorcist.
I hope newly elected conservatives will take the time to learn the procedures of Congress for their advantage and to promote beneficial public policies. It will also take time to master the intricacies of governmental agencies and their policymaking. Although there are bad "career politicians," there are also good "career politicians" who strive to be conscientious public servants. We need to encourage our newly elected Representatives and Senators to remain connected to the people who elected them, to be men and women of intelligence and integrity, and to work for the long-term national interest instead of short-term political gain or the quick benefit of their district or state. Conservatives should lead the way in promoting sound governance and policymaking instead of constantly blaming government bureaucrats. We need to be willing to take unpopular positions like cutting wasteful spending in defense and other areas and even reducing spending in popular entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security.
These newly elected officials need to extend the 2001 Bush tax cuts, begin repealing Obamacare, developing market based health care policies, and their election should also end lousy legislation and policy proposals such as the Employee Non-Discrimination Act, repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and cap and trade legislation. Tonight and the next day or two should be ones of joy, but we still have a lot of work ahead to help our country recover economically and morally.
