I too thought it very interesting that the voters would split so much on a foundational issue for the Dems, ie. gay marriage, and Obama the state but uphold traditional marriage. My family and I have been having some good conversations about whether there is still a majority of good people left in the USA, and I think the gay marriage votes give some hope in that respect. For all you history buffs out there check out the rise of Hitler and the National Socialist party in Germany to Obama's rise, down to their platform of "hope and change", economic turmoil, takeover of a major political party followed by ruthless suppression of dissent and an elimination of opposition. The time it to0k to change Germany from a basically free republic to a Socialist/Fascist dictatorship (but I repeat myself): four years, from about 1930 to 1934. Once a nation gets to a certain point on the slippery socialist slope, the fall to the bottom comes rapidly. It has also been pointed out that there is a correlation between the morality of the people and the amount of freedom they choose to have in relation to government, or to state it differently, the more righteous the people, the less government interference in freedom and individual rights. So..., we have a lot of deluded people out there who really do not understand where Socialism leads, but still have good basic moral values. As long as good people remain in the majority there is hope to change the socialist trend, but by the very nature of Socialism, it tends to corrupt minds and morals. Did I mention that in Nazi Germany, homosexuality was widely practiced among the elites, and Christianity was banished as a public nuisance/enemy to the State? Christianity and Socialism are antithetical, and cannot coexist peacefully. There was an excellent post about how evangelicals gave Obama the election
