Luckily, now the majority will have their say again, and things can go back to the way they were... We can avoid all this so-called "social progress".

So you're saying that the civil rights movement shouldn't have happened just because there was a "small" minority? Things can go back to the way they were??? Avoid social progress? So, how far back do you want to turn the clock? Do you want to re-segregate? This is why I will always reject the agenda of this fundamentalist christian nation (which it has become) I won't stand and have christianity shoved down my throat just because more people apparently voted for Bush than Kerry.
And don't get me wrong. I believe in god. I'm not against religion. BUT, what I do have a problem with is that this country wasn't founded on the beliefs of christianity. The founding fathers believed that people could choose the religion of their choice and the reason for the separation of church and state is to prevent what has now happened. Bush wants to return American to its moral roots, he said today. Whose morals?? christian morals?? But I'm not a christian. It's wrong to force it down my throat in the form of legislation. That's what's wrong with America now and that's why I'll always fight for the freedoms of the disenfranchised. Minority or not.
