No happy spirit this morning. I don't mind the Republican collapse yesterday, but the free sex and death culture's trifecta worries me: "[South Dakotans rejected a law that would have banned virtually all abortions, Arizona became the first state to defeat an amendment to ban gay marriage and Missouri approved a measure backing stem cell research](http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061108/ap%5Fon%5Fel%5Fst%5Flo/eln%5Fballot%5Fmeasures?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)."

Let's hope the Republicans' poor job the past couple of years resulted in their failure to turn out their base and that these ballot defeats are an aberration.

Possible bright side: Maybe the Dems will interpret these three ballot victories as a sign that it's time to come out and push their real social agenda (Sex and Death!). If a lot of conservatives stayed home yesterday (and to be honest, I almost did), they'll get stirred up in 2008.

Humorous aside: While surfing last night at 3:00 for election results, I saw one House Republican (I forget the name) say that the Republicans now need to re-trench and do what they do best: fight for limited government. Give me a break. The ruling Republicans in D.C. stopped walking that walk when GW came to the throne. I'm not sure I even heard that phrase during the campaign season, probably because the Republicans knew they dropped that ball back on their own eight yard line.

By the way, now might be a good time to subscribe *[The American Conservative](http://www.amconmag.com/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)*, if you want to know how a right-leaning person ought to think. It's a good magazine that fights for the principles of conservatism: a culture with an ordered yet diverse citizenry, local control, and a measure of isolationism.

That's it for now. I'm tired. Before leaving, one item from my random book readings. From Camus's notebooks:

> Radici, a member of the French militia who had volunteered for the Waffen SS, tried for having had twenty-eight prisoners in La Sante shot (he was present as the five groups were executed), belonged to the Humane Society for the Protection of Animals.
