We congratulate Senators Obama and Biden on their historic win. We are deeply disappointed that Senator McCain and Governor Palin were not elected, but that is what happened. We would not have gloated had our side won, and will not wish ill will to the side that did. We hope that President-elect Obama and his staff will do the right things and keep America’s, and Americans’, best interests at heart. We want our country to be safe and prosperous, and to always be a leader for the cause of freedom, liberty and justice.

We are saddened that a true American hero, John McCain, will not have the opportunity to serve this nation as president. In our estimation, he deserved that trust. We are also disappointed that Sarah Palin will not be serving as vice-president. She is refreshingly "one of us" and has been unmercifully and unfairly attacked by both Big Media and her political opponents.

We are even more disappointed to see that the media in this country apparently holds such sway over the average person. If our country is moving further into an "entitlement mentality," as echoed by the lady in Florida’s comment (to paraphrase, she said "I’ll never have to worry about filling my gas tank or paying my mortgage again, if I help [Obama], he’ll help me"), then our country is moving downward, not upward. If most people in this country do not think for themselves, and noddingly accept what they are spoon-fed by Big Media, that downward turn is even deeper and more sharp.

In our opinion, too many of the media in this country have been dishonest and without an ounce of shame in blatantly favoring Senator Obama and making its "Big Push" for him to reach the White House. We do hope that more and more of you will be more discerning in your viewing habits, and will not reward Big Media with more viewership or readership.

We also hope you will stay alert, though we are probably all a bit tired of politics at this point. With the advantage that Democrats have in both houses of Congress and now the White House, we expect a number of issues to come to the forefront, and we ask that you pay attention. For example, liberal Democrats will no doubt try to bring back the [un]Fairness Doctrine, which would require radio stations to air an equal amount of differing viewpoints–if they carry four hours of "conservative talk," they will have to match that with four hours of "liberal talk." We think such a doctrine is unconstitutional and is a direct attack on free speech, which the media and liberals are supposed to be so concerned with protecting. Stay tuned.

Another area is "drill, baby, drill." Don’t be lulled to sleep by falling prices at the gas pump. We know those can go back up in a matter of days and weeks. With the same majority for Democrats just referenced, we are concerned that they will say "forget it, baby, forget it," regarding drilling, as we said in our most recent column. It will be up to the American people to not let Congress get away with that kind of [in]action.

We will also watch what happens in terms of national security, our fight against terrorism, and the stability of our military.

We plan to continue posting columns on this site, though not as frequently. We said what we said without malice toward anyone, and we wish the best to both political friends and foes alike. Also, it’s not all about politics. If we ever get into publication the book from which several of these columns came, we will let you know. A lot of that book is not about politics. Thanks to all of those who have visited this site. We hope you will continue to do so, and will continue to forward links on our columns to your friends and contacts.

This election season also leaves us with questions, the answers to which we’ll never see. We would love to be proved wrong about that. Just off the cuff, here are a few:

1. How many fraudulent votes got cast, nationwide? How many people voted more than once, or voted in the name of a dead person or someone else?

2. Was the outcome in any particular state decided on the basis of fraudulent votes? If all those fraudulent votes were tossed out, what would the result of the political contests be, including ultimate outcome, electoral college numbers, and popular vote? For example, at last report, Obama won Ohio by about 200,000 votes. Some days ago we saw reports that claimed that of the some 600,000 new voter registrations in Ohio, over 200,000 or so of those were problematic, and/or fraudulent. Just a coincidence? We’d love to know.

3. What effect did Big Media’s biased polls have on the race; did that dim the turnout for McCain/Palin? A number of these polls had Obama/Biden with a double-digit percentage lead, or at least nine points, and the actual margin was about six to seven. Did these inaccurate polls, in Obama’s favor, "dull" some voters who would have voted for McCain into not showing up at all? We addressed that concern a number of times in our columns, but there still are too many people in this country that believe whatever they get told by TV and newspapers. We note that some 121 million votes were cast for Bush and Kerry in 2004 (Bush with 62 million, Kerry with 59 million), and even less votes–so far–have been counted for this race (about 120 million, 63.6 million for Obama, 56.2 million for McCain).

4. How much money, if any, did the Obama campaign receive from foreign sources, which is illegal? Who gave such, if such was given?

5. Who were the sources of donations to the Obama campaign of less than $200 apiece? The Obama campaign has thus far not identified those donors, though the McCain campaign identified all of their donors, regardless of amount. Did certain donors give much more than is legally allowed by doing so in a series of donations under $200, with those names either never being released, or the donations being made in fictitious names?

6. How many donations, if any, including total amounts, did the Obama campaign receive that violated the limits that one can give to a campaign? What happened to this money?

7. What would the tape that the LA Times refused to release, of the Rashid Khalidi gathering attended by Obama, have yielded, if anything?

8. Will the Obama campaign ever release the actual birth certificate of Senator Obama? If he was born in Hawaii, as previously reported, then what is the problem with releasing the actual certificate?

9. Will ACORN continue to be allowed to take your tax dollars and conduct partisan activities that favor one party, i.e., Democrats?

10. Will anything be done about ACORN’s practices of allegedly fraudulent voter registration, including registering people multiple times and under incorrect and/or fictitious names?

11. Will people such as Joe the Plumber who ask questions, and/or disagree with the new administration, get "investigated" by Big Media or the government in the Democrats’ new administration?

AND, to us, the biggest question of all:

Will the media bother to really investigate and genuinely attempt to answer these questions, and, if so, make as big a fuss over those as they do over the barrage of negatives they routinely hurl at Republicans?

We won’t be holding our breath.
