I wish that I did not have to, but I will start my post by saying I am NOT a democrat and regardless of the fact I don't feel that a woman should be a president, I will vote for the only ticket that would accommodate the possibility.

However, I do think that now is not the time to contemplate the policies, views and plans of either Barak Obama or John McCain. I wanted to take a moment and say that I am PROUD to be an American.



45 years after Martin Luther King Jr. stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and gave us his godly and inspiring dream, a man half black stood at a podium in Denver, CO and accepted a major political party nomination to be the next president of the United States of America.





Yesterday, in Ohio a woman stood on a stage with a man, and accepted the invitation to be a vice presidential candidate, literally a heart beat away from our Oval Office.

I think that those occurrences are greater than democrats or republicans, and they have more to do with the people who craft podiums and build stages rather than the ones who on Thursday and Friday were using them.

Oh by the grace of God how far we have come. And while I know that these occurrences are not the be all and end all of equality, I can't let the moment go by.

I thank God for America, for what she was, and for some good things that she has become.
