So as it stands today Barrack Obama will be the Democratic nominee for his party. This is truly a historic moment for our country and one that I strongly believe is what our country is about and what we have strived to become. The fact that an African American has a very strong chance of becoming the next leader of our nation is truly remarkable. It also goes without saying that Hillary's strong showing as a female contender proves our nation is no longer content with the ways of the past. We've come to the point in our existence as a free Republic that I believe we are finally becoming tolerant of the differences between us, yes we still have issues but America is speaking loudly and the old ways are beginning to move aside and must in order for us to remain a strong and vibrant nation well into the 21st century and beyond!
Now before you flame me...remember that it was our founding fathers that by all standards of the Mid 1700s were considered extremists, traitors to the British Crown, militants, and in today’s terms one might even call them insurgents! Their ideas for a country ruled by the people we more outlandish then any ideas either of the Democratic candidates have proposed and yet they succeeded. Our country must embrace change, even if that change hasn't been tired before or even if it scares some of us! If we don't we'll never know what we could have accomplished... Ask yourself this? If the Colonists of the 1700s didn't embrace the extreme ideas of John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Sam Adams, and the others whose name might not be as historic but helped to bring about the birth of this nation, where would we be today? This November I will proudly cast my vote for someone I consider represents the new face of this nation and its future! I'm casting my vote for Barrack Obama!
