Although I am disappointed in Tuesday night's election results, I'm not depressed, angry, or preparing for the end of the world like many conservatives. Yes, we lost the election, and yes, everything in the next 4 years might not go the way we like, but that should just motivate us to work harder for conservative principles.
And how should we work to achieve those principles? Although many conservatives might not agree, it is imperative that we are ready and willing to work with Democrats and Independents to make our country better. Barack Obama reached out to us in his gracious acceptance speech; now it's time for us to reach back. This doesn't mean that we let go of our principles, but in terms of our policies, we need to be willing to compromise.
I'm taking President Obama at his word. I know that while I disagree with many of his positions, in his heart he wants what's best for this country, just as I do. I, for one, am ready and willing to help.
