You agree it was wonderful that a black man elected to the highest office in the land.

End it right there. The rest of the Marxist disaster will bear out on its own. No point in rehashing the campaign.

You mean I shouldn’t tell my niece she is either an idiot, a zombie, or a communist? It’s a good thing she is studying abroad this year.

Appreciate the sentiment...but do we have to abuse the flag in this manner? Isn’t there another way?

What hurts most isn’t the liberal politicians, it’s seeing the depraved people in my family, church, neighborhood, Catholic university, and country for what they are.

They didn’t give us Obama as much as Obama revealed who they were, and what our society now mostly is.

Best one yet, who cares if you alienate them, you really want to associate with people with such a low IQ?

That is short sighted. Do we want to build a movement or just get an "I told you so" in.

Conservatives are going to be presented with numerous teachable moments over the next 4 years. How we handle these will determine if the movement can once again arise or be relegated to permanent minority status.

It is highly likely that one of these friends will, for example, complain about high electricity bills. When they do your response should be one of genuine surprise. Simply state that you thought they were in favor of higher bills and cleaner air since Obama promised sky high bills prior to his election. Teach them that change has consequences.

Do not blow these opportunities to convert.

I would steal his wallet, then just say "I was just spreadin' the wealth, man," if caught. If he complains, scream that he is not "patriotic", beat him, and call the police and say that he committed a hate crime.

As Mark Levine says, you can’t fix stupid. I tried fixing stupd people this time around. Not only was it a waste of time, they turned on me like rabid dogs or played the victim role as if talking logically was cruel and unusual punishment. Their pea brains can only handle hate for Bush and Palin, and faith in Obama.

I do have one employee that is an Obama supporter.

I am going to give everyone a bonus, but him.

I think I will warn my acquaintances who bring it up that I will be noting every time Pres Hussein proves he’s the socialist he is, from staffing choices to platform to tax increases to nationalized this and nationalized that.

Any more tidbits we can add

Laugh hysterically. And then when asked, tell them you can’t discuss it with a straight face. LOL

As long as you are a willing vessel for God, He will use you as He sees fit. If He has an appointed time to use you to reach these friends/family, He will. Your faith belongs in Him.

However, the Bible also has quite a bit to say about God letting people go. Think of the prodigal...when that son wanted to cash in and leave, the father let him. Sometimes, as much as it seems somehow wrong, we simply have to let people go and spread the light and news to those who are receptive.

The issue of the election is over. There is no need for additional discussion about it. Whether we like it or not, the people have spoken. I don’t see the need for continued discussion about it with them, unless that is simply a ruse and a passive-aggressive attempt at gloating.

Tell them the same thing I'm going to tell my liberal fatass co-worker when she finally brings it up:

The shoe is on the other foot now. For eight long years I've had to listen to you badmouth Bush over every little thing he did.

Now it's our turn.

Everytime Barack smirks, I'll put him down.
Everytime Barack misspeaks, I'll put him down.
Everytime the economy goes south, I'll put him down.
Everytime the jobless rate goes up, I'll put him down.
Everytime a soldier dies under his administration, I'll put him down.
Everytime an S&L or mortgage company goes belly up, I'll put him down.
Everytime Gas goes up, I'll put him down.
Everytime he pronounces a word wrong, I'll put him down.
Everytime Biden sticks his foot in his mouth, I'll put him down.
Everytime an administration official is accused of corruption and is forced to resign, I'll put him down.

The White House is his to lose now, and I'm going to make damned sure in 2012 that the only thing Obama will be busy doing is writing his memoirs.

I think depravity is even more to blame than all the ignorance.

RE: “The Liberal members of my family are dead to me.”

***********

Exactly — Obama supporting family members and “friends” are dead to me, too. They can pound sand, oh, and they should not expect any more loans/gifts, either.
