A few conservative bloggers have helped to shape my perspective on the election of a President that I did not vote for. Below each title is an excerpt from that blog post.

“Why I Am Rejoicing with the Obama Supporters”

I did not vote for Obama. I am grieved by the blind adoration countless people are giving to a man who has committed himself to Alinksy’s model, but I am sincerely rejoicing that God has made it very easy for me to celebrate something with the citizens of this foreign country where I serve as His ambassador. It’s easy to rejoice that forty years after a Jim Crow society when little black girls feared to walk out of their church on Sunday there will now be two little black girls playing in the halls of the White House.

“Proud Moment for America”

There will be an appropriate time to critique the decisions Obama makes as president. This republic relies upon the ability and duty of its citizens to appropriately question the actions of its elected leaders. For the time being, though, Obama, as every president before him, deserves an opportunity to prove himself.

“What Next?”

We must resurrect the lost notion that was once called “loyal opposition.” We will no doubt oppose certain policies, perhaps vigorously. But opposition to the policy must not be turned into opposition to the man or opposition to the office. The president has to be left with the ability to govern. If he loses that ability, then the entire country loses, including Christian conservatives.
