Cessation. Now. We will never be united.
This is a most bitter dissappointment.
4 more years of this recession.
We are now Greece.
The forces of evil have won.
This is what Americans want I suppose we deserve it.
God save us.
You forgot number 5, reproduce.
For the first time in my life, and I say this as a once-proud Academy grad and former AF pilot/veteran....I’m looking at the expat route. Seriously. I’ve been thinking about it for a while now, but after tonight, I realize the United States I grew up in is now officially dead.
No answers here. I just need to let this all sink in.
I’m watching these clueless people on TV bang their flags together to the music to celebrate Obama’s win. They’re all so young. They will grow older, and be paying for their decision for a long long time, as will we all. You know the floor will be covered with flags at the end of the night.
I’m sorry for my children. They voted for Romney, but will need to live with the consequences of what happened tonight. My one son is a Marine in Okinawa. I hope somehow he gets to stay there for the next 4 years, but of course, like most younger Marines, he want to see some action. I wish he had a CIC who cared.
My heart goes out to Israel, and to the families of the souls lost in Benghazi, who our president will not even acknowledge.
May God help him.
I go to my grave not understanding this day.
“what do we do?”
Thanks for the words.
Perhaps we should research what others have done in the past during times of economic, moral and social collapse?
I started having bad feelings about the election around 10:30 this morning as I became aware of the people who voting at our polling place. Many were on disability, SSI, Social Security or some kind of gov’t dole. Not all but enough that it was noticeable. A lot of these were young people too. Such a shame. They will never know what true freedom is. I am just sick over the whole thing.
I was in a Bible Study Monday night. I said I thought Romney would win, and he would win big. Another woman said she didn’t think so. She thought this country had become so evil, and those of us who knew better had become so passive, that the Lord would give us over to ourselves.
I think she’s right.
We are as united as North and South Korea.
This is old news. What are you shocked about? Obama played a dirty game, and he won. And why are you advising people to go into “turtle mode?” Turtle mode is why we lost this election. People need to voice their values, FOR A CHANGE. People need to speak out and vote for true conservative candidates FOR A CHANGE. People who are in a position to do so should put more people to work FOR A CHANGE. I repeat: turtle mode is why we lost this election. If you want change, you have to effect change, and Romney didn’t convince enough people to do this. I gag as I watch Obama take the stage. It is a disgrace. But the country will be lost until someone steps forward to lead us in a different direction.
Sick of being a turtle. F them.
Something radical happened within me tonight.
I went into an election watching event with an idea that I knew my country well.
I left with the undeniable horror that I had not known my country at all.
This is not the country I grew up in.
It is time (as it always is) to draw very near to God. We are in uncharted water.
“Cessation. Now. We will never be united”

Sadly, I think that I have to agree. We are at a point in
this country that we are so divided, that it is the same as
a couple that has irreconcilable differences.
A divorce seems the only solution. I say we begin the process
ASAP.
Well said, sir.....May God help us all.
My fear is that once Obama packs the Supreme Court, evangelical Christianity will be outlawed soon after as hate speech, much as Europe has already done.
At that point, I don’t know what to do. I will not compromise my beliefs, but where do I go? Is there any place on Earth left that will respect my religious views?
Am I doomed to a life in prison or worse? What of my children and grandchildren? Do they give in, flee, or do they sit in jail with me?

I am in exactly the same place as you are. The country that
I knew and cherished as a child and young adult is gone. I loathe the Federal Government. I only believe in Texas now.
I will stop referring to myself as an American. Now I
am just a Texan.
As you said we are in uncharted water. What happens now is
anybody’s guess, but the chances of meltdown into social
chaos just went up dramatically.
I have believed the same for quite a while now, that God has forsaken this nation because of its great sins. It would explain all of the closed minds and hard hearts out there.
