So we're all Mayans now huh?

So, for those living under a rock, Obama was re-elected for another 4 years last night.  One of the most entertaining things of this whole election is reading the Facebook.  You would think the world is going to end (hence the Mayan reference in the title).  People, there are a lot of things you need to think about here.  First off, let me preface by saying I am not writing this as a "I voted for Obama" post.  This is merely written in hopes to calm down the people who are now building underground bomb shelters for the inevitable end of the world.
First off, there is still a Republican majority in the house.  Keep that in mind when thinking Obama is going to destroy us all.  Also, I think Romney had some brilliant plans and was going to do great things as well, but, in my humble opinion, he hurt himself by being so unaccepting of the gay community.  That lost him millions of votes.  You know how kids now ask their grandparents "is it really true that black people didn't have as many rights as white people back in the day?"  I think, someday, our children or grandchildren will be asking the same about the gay community.  It seems so old fashioned to me to not accept people for who they are.  Some, believe it or not, STILL think it is a choice to be gay.  I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but there is scientific proof that people are born that way.  Why would someone choose to be something that is so unaccepted by a saddening majority of the world?  It's "orientation" not "preference," and bigotry should no longer be accepted.
The main point I think we all should understand here is having a president you didn't vote for or want, in many ways, is like having a loved one marry someone who you think is a jerk.  Whether you think they are right or not, we have to accept them and try and move on with life.  America is beautiful in that we can speak our mind.  If we think something is wrong or needs to be changed, we can speak up.  We can protest.  We can organize efforts to make those changes.  Even better, we can start over with a new leader in four years.  This isn't the end of our country.  He may or may not have been the best option for our leader.  But if he truly was as terrible as so many of you think, would billions of educated voters really vote for him?  I'd like to give my country a little bit of credit as far as being able to cast an accurate vote.
I pray that Obama was the right decision.  I pray that anti-Obama people can accept that he is our leader and move on.  I pray that we can start to be more accepting of orientations (thank you Washington for voting for marriage equality).  I pray that both Obama and the House can discuss topics in a manner that allows them to make fair, just, and educated decisions.  Lastly, I pray that our country can stop fighting over a decision that has been made and can't be changed.
