To those of you who have followed this election closely, there is no question the choice is clear. Those of you who are apathetic, or willfully ignorant, listen up: You are before a simple choice; a simple choice that will have unprecedented consequences.
If you have regarded this election as a novelty simply because a woman and a black man were battling it out for the Democratic nomination, you have been living in willful ignorance. This election is about those of us who have paid attention, and those of you who have not.
This election is not about Democrat or Republican, black or white, rich or poor; this election is not about electing Barack Obama for the sake of it. It isn’t about who has the experience, or who is going to tax us more, or who will prevent the next 9/11.
For those of you who haven’t paid attention, this election is about a fundamental shift in attitude and philosophy. The spend, consume, and ignore philosophy the Republican party has championed for the past 25 years is drawing to a close. The faceless, spineless, and God-less liberal Democrats don’t have a say either.
This election is about deciding what the future of this country will be about. If it hasn’t been painfully clear, it’s about time we took a different approach to living our lives, about our responsibilities as individuals, as parents, as brothers and sisters. This election is about taking a stand for the future, and not let fringe groups and ideas speak for you simply because you’ve allowed ignorance to conduct your life for you.
This election is about those of us who recognize the moment has come to take a step forward, and those of you who will chose to believe anything you’re spoon-fed by agenda-pushing individuals and institutions.
This election is about those of you who chose to stay behind, and those of us who will move this country into the 21st century.
