One's "hope" is another's facepalm...

It seems as if President Barack Obama's calls for "hope" have been the butt of quite a number of jokes told by conservatives over the past four years. Many laughed at just the word - "hope" - as if it'd be silly, naive and ignorant for anyone to actually believe in such a thing - in hoping that mankind can work together to improve our present and in turn our future. If one stops to think about it, though, don't most of these conservatives believe in "hope" and even on a grander, more ridiculous scale?

While it's true that many liberals believe that the government can improve our way of life and our future - often times referring to this as having "hope" - what is it that many conservatives believe and hope? The evangelical right will often times vote for Republican candidates because they truly believe they're voting in line with what's taught in The Bible. In what do they have hope? That one day, after they pass, their souls will magically be whisked away to a land that cannot be seen when one is breathing and forever reside in a paradise known as heaven with their creator (no, not their parents - although they may be there too, I suppose) and his son, who was born from a virgin woman's vagina, remained perfect throughout his years and sacrificed himself for all of man's sins. Why is it that Obama and liberals' "hopes" are so crazy again?
