My principles are the same as our founding fathers.  Personal rights and freedoms granted by God and our Constitution. Have you ever read the Constitution?  The last eight years was an attempt by Obama to "fundamentally change" the United States of America.  Because of your Party's "nuclear option", Obama tried to go around Congress and the Constitution.  You lost my friend and now you will see what happens when Capitalism is in play.  You lost.....sit back and enjoy the ride.  I'm happy every morning when I wake up.....I know how you feel....I used to wake up like you are now....powerless!  Get over it!
