The ONLY good thing about Obama’s election is that ALL the reporting will be POSITIVE....no one in Govt. will be DESTROYED, the outlook for AMERICA in the world will be rosy, there will be NO BAD NEWS (unless it’s to blame Bush) but the MSM will NOT be trying to DESTROY RETAILERS and other businesses.

He’s got it right. When a co-worker’s phone “rang” and it was Obama’s voice as the ringtone, I knew we were in for a tough 4 years (4, not 8 — hopefully the US wises up in 4 and realizes that calling him an empty suit was giving him too much credit.)

America elected a half & half black, racists, Chicago gang land thug, proven Marxist, lying, cheating, slime ball, piece of pig's scum, for free stuff. 40 plus million idiots with no more than a 6th grade education, fatherless homes, drug and alcohol using bums. The others were simply sick of Bush, did not like McCain, bought the lies that republicans caused the financial melt down and housing industry melt down. RINOs in the RINO party destroyed the base, a lot of conservatives stayed home. This election that was going to turn out massive numbers that never materialized, as 04 out drew 08. Through stupidity, greed for free money by sitting on said butts, getting free health care, believing that Obama is going to pay their gas bills, car payments and mortgages, did it. This election for the republicans was a train wreck that started in 2004.

You are so right, even some Americans who say they oppose affirmative action undoubtedly hopped on the Oprah-Obama bandwagon with the ultimate endorsement of affirmative action. And even John McPain seemed comfortable with his loss, as did Bob Dole twelve years ago. This white guilt is a force to contend with.

I was surprised that so many “conservatives” stayed home and let others rule the country for them. Maybe they are not very intelligent people either, just unable to understand public affairs or even the simplest problems.

Why would you think the American people would “wise” up in four years. I don’t think their brains can be jump-started.

It’s because the American people lack the intelligence and shrewdness to understand what is happening around them.

In reality, the idea of America died a long time ago. The state non longer believed it at least by WWI, and the majority of the people since the 80’s.

Most people on the left proudly proclaim themselves as a citizen of the world. But as a Christian, I have never thought of myself as that. Just a pilgrim on the path to the city of God.

So the dream of America is dead. So be it. It had major flaws in it that could not last forever. Such as the assumption that the majority of the people are good and will vote accordingly. Not really possible. And that you can kill off 10-20% of you population in infanticide and not have a seriously warped world view.

The real question is, what now? Do we head to the catacombs, or overseas?

We now know that a large segment of “the American people” are perfectly comfortable for abortion for “others”. Not for themselves, because they have already been born, to paraphrase Reagan.

It will be at least 8 years.

Racist not to be you know.

It took 25 years of liberal education to brainwash the public. Everyone under 30 now is a friggin no mind liberal with little or no critical thinking skills.Add to that a media system that was in the tank for the guy and there you go.Dumb down , brainless public with a dose of white guilt is what we have.
NOW , we all need to do more than talk of FR we need to organize ( I don’t me a GOP affair , screw them too) I mean a grassroots patriot movement to save this country and fight Obama at every singe move he makes. I’m in NJ , anyone know of anyone interested in doing this ? If we sit and watch it will be all over .

Perfect description. I did not watch, but from his earlier speeches, I can imagine. I heard him say getting there whatever that means. I probably won’t be watching news stations for a long time because I don’t want to see or hear The Chosen One voice. I am scared that I might be hypnotized also. ha ha ha.
What will the media do without the GOP to slander?

I saw an interview on Friday. In June 2009 the FCC terms are up and O gets to appoint the new board of 5. Since it is a D President they get the majority and the other 2 are R’s. A day later by a majority vote of three the “fairness doctrine” becomes a new regulation. This is not a senate or house bill it is a regulation. The guy O has appointed to help him with those appointments, can’t remember his name, an avid supporter of the fairness doctrine when Reagan took it away. He is coming back with a vengence and wants the change.
