We had nothing but contempt for liberals who said America was going to hell in a hand basket because W was elected. Some of them even said they would move to France. We wished them Godspeed. Now we're doing the same damned thing. We're acting like a bunch of snivelers because our guy is going to lose and the other guy sucks. I'm sick of the whining. No one has to tell me how bad Obama is going to be. I know it far better than most. But let's be adults and not a bunch of damned babies that can't take it, OK? Let's show that we have a little spine. I will personally slap any one who cries on election day if our guy loses, so let's suck it up and drive on to the future. Our nation has faced worse and come through. We'll get through this, but only if we have the guts for it. That is all.

Not everyone drank the ‘60e koolaid, not every silly little nitwit who was a college student in the ‘60s bought that crap:

I was a student then (and for a little while afterward... LOL!) and I was not alone in seeing through the crap.

Bullcrap! This is different. The damage he can do in 4 years (hopefully, he’ll be impeached before that) will take a generation or two to fix, if it can be fixed at all. We’re being told that a majority of voters are going to vote to convert to a socialist system. No more capitalism. No more free enterprise. No more freedom. Ironically, the Europeans who are rooting for us to go socialist went conservative themselves. The America that our founding fathers risked their lives to found will no longer exist.

Look at the damage done in 2 years of Pelosi and Reid. Now tell me that Obama, Pelosi and Reid can’t destroy America in 4 years.

The Duke accuser has never been charged because: "It would serve no purpose." (It was just White males that were destroyed.)

We’ve got to try to stay optimistic.

I am mostly ashamed of the GOP at this point.

It's hard to convince people after what's gone on for the past eight years. The Republicans controlled congress for six of those years and what did they do?

You’re right. Crystal Mangum has never been charged. Her lies have already cost Duke and the city of Durham millions. What was AG Cooper thinking? Why did’t he charge her?

He's afraid of a riot?

Obama’s popularity should surprise no one. We live in a media age where candidates are chosen more by an American Idol mindset than a practical one. Policy positions mean nothing in these cases.

A lot of people are attracted to smooth-talkin, good looking politicians. What things they believe in are a distant second. Just look at how many of Obama’s supporters gave blank stares and stuttered incoherently when asked what he stood for. It was both pitiful and eye-opening.

Obama could burn down orphanages and throw Jews into ovens and these people would find some way to justify his actions.

Can’t recall who first said it (Buchanan?), but political correctness will be (has been?) the ruination of America.

I had a heck of a time getting to sleep last night myself. I took two benadryls and it was still hard. There’s some good poll news on Freep today, though. But the experts are expecting Hussein to get a bounce from last night. Dick Morris says it will be fleeting. We can’t give up. We’ve got to get through this alive to fight on.
