America is said to be filled with racism, hatred, religous bigotry and nuttiness. All that could be true in certain places and at certain times. Is it true on a daily basis? Well, yesterday, in Louisiana, the people voted for an guy born in India, a Republican and one who was 36. He is the youngest governor in America. He is very colored in skin color. Remember, liberals have been saying and writing for years that the South is filled with bigots. Yet, many commentator, church people say, there is less racism nowadays down South than there is in the elite East Coast areas. Religous conservatives had a convention and sort of an election too. Many voted for a Mormon. Some voted for some guys that don't go to church very much. Others voted for a Baptist minister who has been a governor of Arkansas. Then there is a New Yorker who is a moderate, not so very conservative except in some very important ways, who people are thinking of nominating for President. Sure, racism, religious bigotry, hatred , nuttiness on left-wing blogs like MoveOn and Media Matters, but many Americans are willing to listen to and perhaps vote for different types of people without having a litmus test. It would be nice to see liberals be more pro-life than pro-death. It would be nice for some conservatives look at a guy's record rather than his Mormonism or 3 marriages. But, we are all sinners and if we say we are Christians, we are learning to be transformed by Jesus' Spirit not to be filled with unwise hatred. We hope this for all Americans nowadays. Perhaps the best man or woman may still win as long as they have good policies which help and protect the American people. After all, a child of Indian immigrants won the race to be governor of Louisiana. If you had told Huey Long that, he would have guffawed with ridicule.
