Fundamental Principles
By Tammy Derouin
I really hoped that by the time we approached the inauguration things would have calmed down. But, we are not just dealing with disappointment; we are dealing with pure hate. I wanted to believe that Americans would come together, much like we did eight years ago when the GOP was dealing with disappointment and the disbelief that Obama had actually won the election. Maybe, just maybe, an unknown senator, with a lack luster career and very little experience beyond community organizing, would surprise us and do good things for the country.
In the spirit of giving Obama a chance, we accepted the election results. It was up to him to prove who he was, what he could do and how he would do it. Remember when he stated that he wanted to fundamentally transform America? Remember how it was brushed off as political rhetoric and not taken seriously? Here we are eight years later trying to reclaim some of our fundamental principles.
It didn’t take long to realize our country was in serious trouble.......
