Well.

This morning, over on Websnark, I talked about my pride in America and the ideals it was founded on.

Tonight, those ideals took a few shots to the groin.

Eleven anti-gay measures. Eleven.

Oh yeah. And Bush.

Which means we now officially deserve him.

I'm literally afraid of what will happen next. I'm literally afraid of what will happen to us over the next four years. And I am afraid of what history will think of us.

There will come a day when we come out of this. There will. I just hope I live to see it.

Howard Dean would have taken him in straight sets.

I believe strongly in the principles upon which this country was built and has grown. Civil liberties. Freedom. Celebrating diversity. I'm trying very hard to raise my daughter to be a free-thinking, open-minded individual without prejudice.

And now I watch as this country chooses a leader who is forcing his morality upon the entire nation. Who believes that gay Americans do not deserve the same rights I have. Who is persistently stripping away our freedoms and civil liberties in the name of "protecting" us from the evils of the world. Who continues to kill people, people with families and friends and LIVES, American military and British military and Iraqis alike, in a senseless war that is all about corporate greed and not at all about terrorism.

At this moment in history, I am not proud to be American. I fear for my daughter's future. And I'm seriously considering packing up my family and moving to Canada. Right after I join the ACLU.
