Stats and Other Thoughts

The election stats are starting to come out from Tuesdays Election.  Normally I would not give them more than just a head shake but I am awakened with a reality.  I have tried to spread the word about what was going on in this country to the best of my ability with people whom I know.  I feel such a sense of urgency I am not really sure what to do with it.  My fear?  Our country HAS been fundamentaly transformed in the last 4 years.  What happened to the gains we began to see in 2010?  I'm not just talking about Republicans here.  I am a registered Republican...because my values rest more on that side of things but that isn't a shoe in for me.  I will not vote for a pro choice candidate...EVER!  How simple life would be if we just lived as the Bible calls us to, but too many beaurocrats have messed that up haven't they?  Now, half of our country doesn't believe in God.  They denied him three times, at the democtatic convention, how biblical is that?  What is worse is that many do not even believe He exists.  How do we even begin to fix this?  I am not a protester, I am not going to march anywhere with a sign I think it is pointless, but I care so deeply.  Where do we go from here?

More stats I found very interesting:

3 million registered "white" voters did NOT vote.  (Romney lost by 2 million) Do the math!
49% of voters between the ages of 18 and 29 prefer Socialism
43% of the same age category choose Capitalism

Obama got 60% of the vote of the 18-29 age group.

Is this a surprise?  No, but my friends if we don't start making a bigger impact we have for sure lost our country and our grandchildren will not know the America we have known.

Oh, and did you hear about all of the business closings and layoffs announced within the first 48 hours of the election?  They aren't going to be able to fudge the numbers much longer are they?
