Romney lost because, like Britain’s Conservative Party, the Republicans just don’t understand that America and the west are being consumed by a culture war. In their cowardice and moral confusion, they all attempt to appease the enemies within. And from without, the Islamic enemies of civilisation stand poised to occupy the void.
A report last month that Obama was secretly negotiating with the Iranian regime took on an even more incendiary aspect a few days ago with a claim that these negotiations were being led by his close friend and adviser, Valerie Jarrett.
Jarrett’s qualifications for being the president while Obama plays one on TV consist of sharing with the Manchurian Moonbat a communist background. Her qualifications for conducting foreign policy with Iran consist of having been born there. President Jarrett Has Secret Talks With Iran (Moonbattery)
The greatest satisfaction today over the re-election of Obama is not being felt in the Democratic Party. It is not being felt among the media, who are no longer objective observers but have turned instead into corrupt partisans who ruthlessly censored the truth about Obama and helped peddle his demonising propaganda about his opponent. It is not being felt among the gloating, drooling decadents of the western left who now scent a great blood-letting of all who dare defy their secular inquisition. No, the greatest satisfaction is surely being felt in Iran.
With four more years of Obama in the White House, Iran can now be sure that it will be able to complete its infernal construction of a genocide bomb to use against the Jews and the west. World War Three has now come a lot closer.
It is said that, with likely gridlock in Congress over domestic issues, Obama will concentrate on foreign policy. We should all shudder. So far, Obama has empowered Iran to destabilise the region; supported Islamist takeovers in Egypt and Libya; is backing al Qaeda affiliates in Syria; refused to come to the aid of Americans being attacked by al Qaeda in Benghazi as a result of which four American officials were murdered; and hung Israel out to dry against its genocidal Palestinian attackers.
A report last month that Obama was secretly negotiating with the Iranian regime took on an even more incendiary aspect a few days ago with a claim that these negotiations were being led by his close friend and adviser, Valerie Jarrett.
If Jarrett was indeed involved, that should strike a deep chill into anyone who has not joined the lemming-like leap over the edge of the western cliff. For Iranian-born Jarrett – who Obama has admitted he consults before he takes any decision and who has been said to act as his ‘spine’ — is a far-leftist with roots deep in the corrupt Chicago Democratic machine. Indeed, Jarrett has been credited with originally smoothing Obama’s entry into Chicago’s political elite, and is now said to be – despite her background of incompetence and corruption — the most influential person in his circle.
There have also been claims that she advised Obama against killing Osama bin Laden, which although unsubstantiated are all too credible. If this wholly ill-equipped and sinister individual really has been leading secret negotiations with Iran – raising the fear that far from preventing Iranian nuclear terrorism Obama intends to allow the regime a face saving compromise under cover of which it will finish building its nuclear weapon – then Obama’s perfidy against the west really is as bad as some of us feared from the start.
Four years ago, America put into the White House a sulky narcissist with an unbroken history of involvement in thuggish, corrupt, far-left, black power, Jew-bashing, west-hating politics. Obama’s agenda has been crystal clear from the get-go: to increase the power of the state over the citizen at home, and to neutralise American power abroad. Four more years of this and he’ll almost certainly have succeeded. The impact upon western security could be cataclysmic.
Britain and the Europeans love Obama because they think he will end American exceptionalism and turn the US into a pale shadow of themselves. What they don’t realise is that, all but lobotomised by consumerist rights, state dependency, victim culture, sentimentality, post-religion, post-nationalism and post-Holocaust and Empire guilt, Britain and Europe are themselves fast going down the civilisational tubes.
Romney lost because he refused to provide an alternative to any of this for fear of being labelled a warmonger, flint-heart or social reactionary. He refused to engage with any of the issues that made this Presidential election so truly momentous. Up against the bullying of the totalitarian left, he ran for cover. He played safe, and as a result only advertised his own weakness and dishonesty. Well, voters can smell inconsistency from a mile away; they call it untrustworthiness, and they are right.

With the re-election of Obama, America now threatens to lead the west into a terrifying darkness.

The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth, and Power
In what we tell ourselves is an age of reason, we are behaving increasingly irrationally. A loss of religious belief has led the West to replace reason and truth with ideology and prejudice. The result has been a kind of mass derangement, as truth and lies, right and wrong, victim and aggressor are all turned upside down. There is widespread belief in ludicrous conspiracy theories, such as the 9/11 terrorist attack being an American plot.
The basic cause of all this unreason is the erosion of the building blocks of western civilisation. We tell ourselves that religion and reason are incompatible, but in fact the opposite is the case. It was Christianity and the Hebrew Bible that gave us our concepts of reason, progress and an orderly world—the foundations of science and modernity.
The loss of religious belief has meant the West has replaced reason and truth with ideology and prejudice, which it enforces in the manner of a secular inquisition. The result has been a kind of mass derangement, as truth and lies, right and wrong, victim and aggressor are all turned upside down. In medieval-style witch-hunts, scientists who are skeptical of global warming are hounded from their posts; Israel is ferociously demonized; and the United States is vilified over the war on terror—all on the basis of falsehoods and propaganda that are believed as truth.
Thus the West is losing both its rationality and its freedoms. It is succumbing to a “soft totalitarianism”, which not only is creating an ugly mood of intolerance but is undermining its ability to defend itself against Islamic aggression. While the Islamists are intent on returning the free world to the seventh century, the West no longer seems willing or able to defend the modernity and rationalism that it brought into being.
“The Taliban is in the house.”
Despite that background ... or because of it?
Jarrett is one who human stonewalled Panetta & HRC from killing OBL by not letting them in the Oval for 4-5 months (allegedly of course)
I have said several times over the last few years that the next president would be a war-president. It didn’t matter if it was O, or Romney, or Ralph Nader, war was coming. Like it or not we would be electing the man who would be in the White House when it came.
The question isn’t whether war is coming, its which side will we be on, and will we be led by corrupt quislings. The last has been answered, sadly. The former seems also to have been answered, tragically.
To me? The outcome is horrific.
We now have the MB firmly entrenched in the White House with the cloaked al quaeda black flags flying in the Rose Garden. It is just a matter of time before the “Christian “ beard comes off and the flag is proudly displayed. Libya? Benghazi? just a lead in to a major assault on Israel. Israel? will not stand for a nuclear Iran, so gloves are coming off real soon.
A strong America gave the world peace and stability. Now, with Obama, its all come to a end unless you consider the caliphate to be the answer.
Sharia will receive greater support from the black house and liberty will be gone. Millions will be killed in this period of darkness.
MB have been recruited into every agency in Washington. Our government is riddled with them.
And instead of fighting Al Qaeda we are knocking over governments and installing them in power.
War is coming and I fear we are already on the wrong side.
Revenge for what? For the fact that none of us were willing to lay down and let them have their way with us?
C’mon. The muslims will try the convert or die right here, sponsored by Obama. Islam has now gone global powered by the resources of America combined with their bled out strengths.
Just watch the UN come into our lives.
It is done.
Its just that most Americans are unaware. By the time they wake up? HA!
Videos and knowledge like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Qpy0mXg8Y *that should be required viewing* will soon be outlawed.
Knowledge can kill the beast!

Honestly real conservatives either subconsciously, or clearly, understand the catastrophic events that Obama’s re-election mean. It is part of God’s plan, the same way Judas was necessary.
With Jesus, we understand that God is love, and the hurt comes from betraying of His love. Obama represents everything that opposes God, and that to many of us means days of tribulation, or “End Times” as we know it. Which although very hard, is okay because we know who wins. Look for the end of Israel, attacks on Catholics, poverty, sickness, deception, etc. If they don’t see it now, just wait. I suggest we pray, beg for forgiveness, and ask for everything we need from our real King, and He will give it to us with love. We need to do a better job at evangelizing God’s love than the “global Warming” folks do at pretending that humanity is in control. Christians aren’t supposed to accept anything that is against God’s word, we are supposed to love, like He loves us.
“genocide bomb to use against the Jews and the west. World War Three has now come a lot closer. “
Obama’s legacy. Nuclear destruction of Israel. WWIII.
He won’t be able to blame Bush.
Thanks dumb ass Democrats.
I’d say leave for Australia or Israel. But if you’re staying, stow some guns and reloading equipment/supplies where they can’t be found.
