Duh, what's an election?

In watching the news over the weekend I couldn't help but hear underhanded comments and excuses. The comments mostly centered around how different the "Red States" were. That everyone in the Red shopped at Wal-Mart, toted a firearm in one hand and a Bible in the other, and didn't understand the in's and out's of politics. There were even comments about the Blue states leaving the union. I'm amazed at the loads of media dung being unloaded on the nation. I live in Texas. I own several guns. I go to Church. I even shop at Wal-Mart. Amazingly enough I have the common sense to put on a coat when its cold, and take it off when it's warm. Contrary to popular [yankee] belief, not everyone living in the south is a "redneck", not everyone carrys a weapon, not everyone goes to Church, not everyone shops at.....ok, scratch that, everyone shops at Wal-Mart. It just makes sense, but that's another story. If the liberal media wants to believe that everyone in the south is out of touch, that everyone here disregards fact in favor of faith, that we're all inferior to the mighty blue states.....let them. The left speaks of faith as if it were a virus, yet it's that faith that built the foundation of our country. They attack the right to bear arms, but fervently defend the first amendment (An idiot with a podium and an audience is just as dangerous, if not more so, than and idiot with a firearm). They view our bargain shopping as low class, yet how could anyone pass up 500 Q-Tips for 99 cents? They couldn't. The saddest part of all of this is that they honestly believe all of these things...and they wonder why they lost this election? All the excuses amount to this...they lost, but they won't admit that they lost this election because their views are not that of the majority of America. Try as they might, they just couldn't convince the slow "rednecks" that their plan (or lack thereof) was better. To be honest, I don't want to worry about politics for another three years. It's just such a beating. I just want to go fishing, shoot my guns wildly in the air, drink moonshine, go to church, and go buy discount socks at Wal-Mart....is that too much to ask?
