Hope, Fear and Barack

November 5th, 2008 | Add a Comment

Well, hope seems to have triumphed fear…at least for today. It’s such a relief to have one’s faith vindicated — faith not just in the American people but in principles in general, that the principle of faith, patience, hope and open-mindedness in the end are what inspire people, not just the cold black breath of fear. Fear separates, hope unites. Fear creates fragmentation, hope creates community. And what our fragmented zeitgeist has seemed to need for so long is unity, true unity, not the phony “compassionate conservativism” of the corporate vampires. Vampires because they stole not only our cash and our trust and our goodwill…but our faith and our hope for the future. Sometimes it gets so dark you forget there is a dawn. But there is, at least for today. And what a God shot that is. Thank you all who participated in this blessed event!
