HOWDY FREEPERS!!!!!!
Yesterday at this time I was composing this op-ed. At the time I finished and hit "post" FR went down. Thanks to Jim and John for getting FR back online this morning.
As I was saying yesterday morning, it has now been several days since the election and already a number of people, many of whom have family to support are very concerned about what is going to happen to Barack Obama's America. I wish I had all the answers but obviously like everyone else I don't. I can tell you I've already seen some of the upcoming previews of Barack Obama's America and like an awful lot of you, I'm not liking what I'm seeing.
As I stated yesterday the news was not all bad in some places. This again is not to try and sugarcoat things but there is actually some bright spots in the last round of elections on some of the local scenes.
Here in Oklahoma for example we replaced a political appointment on the Corporation Commision with someone who has a far more extensive set of knowledge and background in those areas the commision regulates. We also gave the G.O.P. majority control of both chambers in the Oklahoma State Legislature for the very first time in Oklahoma's 108 year history.
Still it doesn't quite take away from the fact that America is now run by an illegal and illegitimate goverment. Like millions of people, I'm now ashamed to be an American. There have been times when I've been proud like when George W. Bush and Bush Sr. and Ronald Reagan were President and others when I've been ashamed like when Bill Clinton were president.
So, what advice do I have for this upcoming onslaught of Barack Obama's America?
Well, first off stock up on your guns and your ammo and keep your gun powder dry. The other day I was reading an article from Newsmax where one of my favortie columists, Ann Coulter said that it was possible there could be some Waco style attacks in Barack Obama's America with this new civilian police force that he is proposing. Yes, it's very scary folks.
Secondly, get yourself a portable battery powered weatheradio to take with you when traveling. With the proposed return of theFairness Doctrine, it's a possibility that aan awful lot of the stations you have come to rely on for life saving weather information and Amber Alerts could very well be going out of business and that weatherradio may very well end up being your only option for news and information.
And, finally keep as low a profile as possible. It's always a good idea when addressing issues of public importance and pointing out the unethical and illegal criminal activities of the Obama-Pelosi-Reid bunch. These elements and their desciples have shown themselves to be very poor sports when it come to people questioning their actions. Sadly some of these Obama hero worshipers are in positions of authority eager to abuse and missuse their power just like in Philadelphia when a man wearing a McCain-Palin t-shirt was hauled off to jail for causing a disturbance even though he did nothing wrong.
The bottom line to all this is just be prepared and ready for the onslaught of Barack Obama's America. I know a lot of folks are very concerned about what's going to happen in the next four years. Believe me I wish I had all the answers but we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
I think he is refereing to the fact that Obama is not a legal US citizen, therefore ineligible to be president. He is a pResident in the WH. Gosh that felt good to call him that. The left called GWB that for years. Now its our turn to return the favor. He is an illegitimate pResident.
I do think America will eventually come out of this OK but just how is a legitimate question.
I still think America is the greatest place in the world. Let me just say I'm not going anywhere. Some people would usually say they're going to another country if their many isn't elected. Not me. I'm staying put.
I do respect the decision of the voters. This doesn't mean I'm going to get over it however.
President Bush has done a heck of a lot more for this country than any other President has done. That's a heck of a lot more than I can say for Bill Clinton.
And for those who seem insistent on putting down our cunrrent President, may I suggest you go and talk to those in Iraq or the families thereof who have been serving this great country and helping us win this war on terror. Again, I will say that if it weren't for this war on terror and all that President Bush has done for this country there would be an awful lot more of these incidents similiar to 9/11.
Instead of of griping and moaning about Presient Bush and his policies we ought to be very happy for what he has done for this country in terms of military policy. Hopefully we'll have someone of his kind as commander in chief someday.
But I can tell you some of those folks still think Bush stole the 2000 and 2004 elections.
As vanities amass on a site in sufficient numbers, they eventually form a singularity. At that point, posts cannot escape the gravity well, but instead fall back into the site. The site then appears to wink-out of existence. ;-)
There are some articles about this where some are questioning where Obama was I was born. I would suggest veryone do some research and look up some of this info before coming to such irrational conclusions.
In order to be president of the United states, you can't be born in another country
I’m sure they do. Let’s not descend to their level.
Oh please! Bush did way more good than harm to this country. It was when the dems took over in 2006 that the damage began. What happened on 9/11 is as plain as the nose on your face. Radical muslims, who have been trying to kill large amounts of Americans since the 70s, succeeded. Their mission is clear. I suggest you get the film “Obsession” and watch it. We need the Patriot Act. Without it, we couldn’t even monitor phone calls between terrorists. No more terrorist attacks in America since 9/11 is not just a coincidence.
Impeach Obama.
HorsePoop...”the servers” don’t know a vanity from any other post...
Electronic stuff breaks down. If every ‘vanity’ had been an actual news article post would FR not have gone down?
Vanities are often more interesting than clicking on a post, then going to an outside link...the opinions and thoughts of FR members can be more newsworthy than the drivel from the drivebys...
Look I agree with you on the "Impeach Obama". But to say bush did more harm than good is dumb, stupid and idiotic.
Now, I'm not saying that I agree with him on everything. There were issues like illegal immigration that I've disagreed with him on.
Now when the Dems took over in 2006 as you pointed out yep that when the problems began.
Now, can we continue to be safe from terrorists in Barack Obama's America. Well, that depends.
Yes the Dems have bigger control over both houses of Congress. BUT, they don't have the super majority that they thought they were going to have.
So there is still a chance that anything that gets sent to the Senate may be filibustered.
Not that will take the cajoles of some very brave folks in the Senate like one of my state's Senators, Tom Coburn.
Coburn has done very well for us in blocking some pork barrel projects. I'm hopefull he will be part of some of the filibuster efforts that we're going to need to prevent Obama from going getting what he wants.
Bush's ideas may not have been popular with Americans but I can tell you where I live an awful lot of folks here in our are supported him in the War On Terror.
We don't act the same as liberals. Just because they are scum who called Bush illegitimate does not mean we should do the same to Obama....it would make us scum.
Obama is the President-Elect. He won by a margin that cannot be accounted by ACORN votes.
WE, Republicans lost this election because we were not true to conservative principles.
To focus on Obama's alleged residency or some other nonsense is a foolish quest.
Let's focus on eliminating the RINOs (like Romney) from our party.
It’s SUNDAY???
Whoa...I’m missing a day...
Sorry. I’m tired of being nice.
Read my post again. I said he did more good than harm. I was defending him from another posters attack.
Oh OK. I didn’t read that part too well. My apologies.:-D
