There are many Americans that thought that you were unacceptable four years ago, and have not been convinced that they were wrong, by the direction you have taken our country..

Today our country chose to reelect you as our President once again, but in a narrow margin.. This election has given you, once again, an opportunity to prove that the half of it's citizens that didn't vote for you can be proven wrong..

For the sake of your place in the history, and with the fate of our Nation in your hands, I pray that they, and I, can and will be proven wrong..

We stand before you a divided Nation, one that you helped to create, so now we wait to see what you intend to do about it.. I and millions of others, are willing to give you every bit of our effort, and opportunity to bring us together once again.. We offer you this, not just for you and your legacy, but for the love of our beautiful country, and the hope for it's future..

No, God did no forsake us. The majority of our citizens forsook Him.

Post of the night.

Those who know and understand socialism (and the cultural marxism exposed by Gramsci )have no illusion .
They know that socialism understand itself like a kind of secular “religion” with its biggots and want to put its grip on the society by propaganda.

If one want to be usefull and make something positive for the future , he has to KNOW that and act accordingly !

Blind “nice guys” are not so “nice”. Telling the truth and facing it needs strength and bravery....

I think you’re on the right track there.

Maggie Thatcher was right when she said something to the effect, “Socialism is a great system until you run out of other people’s money.”

It’s my take that she should have added...

Socialism always starts with the best of intentions and high ideals. Unfortunately it can’t help itself and it always devolves, ending more or less the same way.

Unfortunately, so do the millions or tens of millions of lives it takes with it.

Then some group of men come along and relight the spark of genius, that could have prevented it all from happening again, if only those wanting socialism so badly, had only been 1/1000th as brilliant as they thought they were.

Those who ignore history, are doomed to repeat it. Sadly, they are never the only ones who pay the ultimate penalty for being the most ignorant beings throughout the ages.

Tonight, I wish we had lost the house also. Things are going to get very bad in America, regardless. The public is unable to assess blame unless one party is in control. Without empirical clarity that the dominant party’s political philosophy is the cause of our problems, we will not be able to resolve those problems.


I am not saying to be rude, but a majority of the public does not give a damn about anyone else but themselves. They vote on the basis of what’s in it for me. They don’t think about my children, your children, or our grandchildren. If we did, we would not have our current debt and we would act like responsible adults. We have become an entitlement society and we don’t care if our kids and grandkids have to pay for it. We are going to get ours! The politicians promised.

I sat here tonight and could not figure this election out because I was raised as a mom and apple pie American. I try to help my neighbors, friends, and family. I believe in service and served.

Like others, I realized tonight that we live in a new America and the sooner we all comprehend that the better off we will be. Liberals preach about service and many of them do serve - but the margin of victory for the DNC is usually found in the moocher vote and they serve themselves. The DNC redistributes money from the productive to the moochers in return for votes and it’s very effective. The GOP will never be able to capture the moochers.

Mark Steyn had it right. It really is about demographics and the DNC understands this. Their principles are the progressive agenda. The GOP will never get even 5% of the 47% Romney mentioned.

The beginning of the end.

I don’t think that was rude. But maybe I missed something.

In any event, now we are Greece. And there is no German sugar daddy to bail us out. Hold onto your hat.

“What do you suggest we do for the next four years? What are our alternatives, if not to make the best of it, and fight to make the changes needed to correct the course, to insure that this isn’t all lost.. I come from a heftier stock than that..”

I’ve been around for a few years. I always thought things could be turned around with a good fight. But the system has to crash before that will be possible. Things are well set to crash in the next several years.

The sad reality is that our entitlement system is going to not only crush us, it may crush the world economy because the value of the dollar is very important to the health of the world economy as the reserve currency.

We will debase our currency first printing them to meet all of our obligations. The people who will be harmed the most when it collapses are the same people we are “trying to help” now with borrowed/printed money.

Watching our bond sales during the next year will be very interesting.

NO, God has not forsaken this country, this country has forsaken God...starting with the Christmas Nativity scene that can no longer be set up in the town square. Followed by no longer Happy Christmas but Happy Holiday, followed by kicking God out of the DemocRAt platform, by the moral decline

The PHd’s who have the Saul Alinsky and Cloward Pivin advanced degrees are in charge now...first seize your prey then destroy it..well they have got America and it won’t take 4 years to finish her off...it will take another month then on Jan 2013 bang.

Unemployment will get lots of new ‘filings for benefits’. Lockheed alone has said they are going to lay off 123,000. I predict that thousands of small businesses will severely downsize or just shut the doors. They just cannot afford Obamacare & they cannot hike their prices enough to cover it’s costs.

When the doctors & other health professionals start ‘retiring’ early, then the crunch on Obamacare will be even more pronounced.

A poll taken late in spring 2012 said that as many as 60% of American doctors would retire out of the health system instead of living within the scope of Obamacare.

Adding 30 million +++ to the healthcare system & losing 60% of the doctors....let’s see how that works for Obama.

Already it is very hard to find a medical profession that will take Medicare patients. My chiropractor says that Medicare pays $17 per patient visit. He says that doesn’t pay the rent & the lights for the time period that person is getting ‘adjusted’. His practice is taking absolutely NO new Medicare patients. Cash is becoming king at their office.

We need to fight for either expanded representation in government (because our representation is way to small in proportion to our population, allowing larger population centers to dictate to conservative smaller(but larger geographically regions), thus distorting and polarizing our political discouse in nonfunctional ways) or...there needs to be a national dissolution into 2-4 smaller nations.

One precedent from the Bible....The separation of Lot’s family from Abraham’s family; they were fighting because the numbers of persons and flocks had grown so large that resources were being fought over. Abraham wanting peace offered Lot a choice. Lot took the watered plains of Sodom while Abraham took the scrub plains and thrived.

We conservatives can take the worst places of this nation and thrive ...to the glory of God and of His Name!
