Thank God it's all over. Please suffer my few observations.
First, isn't it wonderful the ugly road signs will soon be gone. Isn't it great the radio and TV political ads are gone, and the biased media propaganda and fluster will fade away. Isn't it nice our daily mail will no longer contains fat envelopes full of political contribution appeals. Whether your person or party won the day, I think we can all be united with these immediate post-election results.
However, Trump won! More importantly, voters made the choice and opted for changes to how our government conducts its domestic and international affairs.
In our system of government, many don't admit, fully understand or appreciate politics. Further, many people are unwilling to express or share their political views. Their choice. However, we must appreciate that politics touch every aspect of our lives. From the rules that govern our behavior to the prices we pay, the political beliefs of those who control the sites of local, state and federal power are critical in our lives.
America was blessed with founders who designed a framework of laws and a constitution which wisely divided powers between executive, legislative and judicial branches. These centers of political power grant a unique balance to our system of governance and insure a system of checks and balances. Adjustments to our constitution and body of common laws have been made over the decades of our republic. Our system of government is not perfect but has a design feature which has and will endure the stresses of change.
Whatever, the outcome of the election and one's personal preferences, today is a day we should all celebrate. Our freedom to vote ruled election day. We will survive the changes and hopefully prosper as the world's superpower of economic freedom, personal liberties and military might.
