I was NOT Depressed. I was making plans to hunker down and prepare for the battle. The war is not yet won.

God did bless the US again during the election.

Now, the real work begins.

Screw the Left. Let’s get it done.

Prager is too smart to be casting his pearls before Leftist swine.

The sun will Super Nova before they concede his point.

“More people than ever are on government aid.”

I think this is the plan.

Geez...I wasn’t depressed one bit. I was peeved at the Republican powers that be for not putting up a decent run at the Presidency. Again.

Depressed? No. Determined to do well in spite of a government which harmed my industry. Yup.

Stop talking like pansy and just get on with it.

The writer is a moron. Conservatives were disgusted and angry. The writer apparently is in denial that LIBs are lunatics.

We were not applying for jobs to protest in the street.
The people who protest without pay lack basic common sense.

Yea, me neither. I was upset and disappointed, but I don’t get depressed about anything.

I woke up, realized Obama won, said “Crap.” and went to work.

I gave him the respect due the office and the derision due the man.

THE DIFFERENCE IS, we got up the morning after the election, put on our big-boy pants, and went to WORK.

Instead, I played hearts on the computer and listened to Strauss's "Death and Transfiguration" to lighten the mood.

I listened to Mahler's 9th symphony straight through twice before I could get to sleep that night.

I still made it to work on time.

I would not be giving Democrats any measure of comfort. I’d be spreading doom and gloom for them wherever I could. I’d push them to apoplexy and self-destructive behavior.

I have to disagree with Prager here. I was not crying and in hysterics because Obama won in 2012. The measure of being “just as depressed” is in one’s actions. The actions of the Right were not what is happening now. The Right did not like the fact that Obama won but did not go crazy and challenge the legitimacy of his presidency. We didn’t riot. We didn’t attack liberals. I hate these equivalency arguments.

Like I said in my comment in #1 we behaved like adults which we are.

Yes we were disgusted, but we behaved like adults, not like children.

Yes. Totally disgusted for sure, but we did behave like adults...and like real Americans.
The Left is neither of those and trying really, really hard to provoke those of us that are into retaliating against their stupidity and Communism. They need to be careful what they wish for because once the eagle is out of the nest, it will be grimly BAD for them.

I have the weight of the world off my mind since the election.

I push back a bit the idea of preparing for lock n load and focus on fixing things and going on with life.

It’s a very good feeling.
