Positive News Day

There have been so many days in which the news seems to be so bad.  Today is not one of them.  Here are some reasons why.
  • There has been an incredible outpouring of support for Chick-fil-A today.  I don't think this is so much an anti-gay movement as it is a statement about how America thinks about the effort to stifle freedom of religion.  They are fed up.
  • A coalition of black pastors has spoken out against the President's support of gay marriage, saying their support will not just be based on the color of the President's skin.  They, too, are willing to stand by their Biblical values.
  • Senator Reid claims to have been told by a Bain investor that Mitt Romney went ten years without paying taxes.  This claim is completely unsubstantiated.  This may sound like bad news, but it shows how desperate the Democrats are.  They must know that President Obama is in deep trouble going into this election.  And he is.
  • Now the big one.  Texas Republicans rejected an establishment man and instead showed their support for Tea Party candidate, Ted Cruz.  This is monumental.  It should send shudders throughout not only the Democrats, but also all moderate Republicans.  Mitt Romney is going to have to sit up and take notice, too, and make sure he maintains a conservative stance on the issues.  There is a large groundswell of support for Constitutional conservatism in America.  Another lesson from this election is that people should learn that they should not be influenced by polls.  This was a classic case of the attempted use of polls to manipulate the election.  It did not work.
