This middle road the news networks say we are turning on to, this middle road that many who invested in this election want America to travel down may be paved nicely and offer Americans a smooth ride, but after eight years, why settle for less when we can have more?

The opening exists for real change to begin. And if we wait, we are squandering away a future we all know we could have if we show the courage and fortitude to fight for it.

Obama’s win may be one of the most touching moments ever and one of the greatest moments in American history, but that does not preclude our duty to struggle with him to reform and redefine this nation and work with us to develop it into a better society.

Handle your Beatles vinyl record collection as little as possible. Handle your Star Wars action figure collection as little as possible.

Handle your stamp collection gently. Handle your book collection or your coin collection gently. Handle your antiques gently.

But not this Obama presidency. Nowhere in history do we the people have to handle a president as little as possible or be as gentle as possible. We just have to be defenders of liberty and fight for the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
