I just saw a report last night (I think on CNN) about some riots from the far-left activists (protesting the recent vote to ban gay marriage) and the commentator brought up a great point that I agree with. Allow me to explain.

We just had several important issues determined by a democratic ballot. This country elected Barack Obama, the congress gained several democratic seats, and the people of California voted to ban gay marriage.

I feel that this is what makes this country the greatest country in the world. Every other year we elect officials, every four years, we elect a president. It is peaceful and has worked for over two centuries.

And this is why I congratulate President-elect Obama on his win. Do I agree with his positions? No. But he won, and he’s our next president, elected fair and square.

Sure, we elect some people over the years who aren’t the best leaders. Sure, not everyone can be happy with the results of the elections. But we accept the results and move on.

And this is what Republicans did on earlier this year. When McCain conceded and Obama became President-elect Obama, Republicans accepted this and began looking at why this happened and what we can do for the next election, like we did in 1994, to reclaim the congress and White House. We won a huge victory in that election (two years after Clinton was elected).

What is sad is the reaction from the other side. The people of California spoke and said they wanted a constitutional ban on gay marriage. Instead of accepting the voice of the people and the democratic results, the far left has decided to riot and attack.

And this next bit is what got me thinking:

Recent news has shown mobs of the far-left harassing an elderly woman holding a cross, mobs blocking traffic, more traffic, and much more. While they are a small minority, these are the people who have become the driving force in the new Democratic party.

Why is it that the left loves to brag about how tolerant they are and how inclusive they are and then when they don’t get what they want, they riot, harass, and literally act like little crying babies?

I’m actually sad for them. They don’t even seem to realize their hypocrisy. They don’t even seem to realize that they are not the inclusive, tolerant, group they so loudly claim.
