Patriots, we have much work to do. Along with informing a clueless public, we must drag a weak-kneed Republican Party back to supporting the Tea Party principles and values that won them the House in 2010.

Two boys were assigned to shovel a stable full of horse manure. One of the boys was depressed. The other enthusiastically shoveled with glee. “Why are you happy?” asked the depressed lad. His happy associate responded, “With all of this excrement, there must be a pony in here.”
As a Christian, I must trust and believe that God has a pony in allowing Obama to be reelected. Therefore, I will not join those who think we have lost the battle for America. Nor, do I subscribe to the nonsense that our Tea Party values are extreme. Our values are aligned with the human spirit. They are right and just.
In a recent article, I said Obama appeals to three groups: the clueless, entitlement addicts and racists. While entitlement addiction and racism played a role, I believe the vast majority of Obama voters are clueless because the mainstream media protected him.
Obama winning a second term is insane. Based on his horrible lapse in leadership regarding Libya, attacks on Christianity, attacks on business, assaults on freedom hidden in Obamacare and crimes against our Constitution, an informed America would not have given Obama four more years.
Like you, my fellow patriots who love America, Mary and I are hurt, disappointed and a bit mopy. But my resolve to fight to restore Godly principles and freedom back into my country is stronger than ever.
God is still in control and things can turn on a dime. In the Bible, Joseph went from being eternally doomed to prison to standing before the King in one day. That meeting led to Joseph becoming a ruler, second only to the King. God always has a plan.
Patriots, we have much work to do. Along with informing a clueless public, we must drag a weak-kneed Republican Party back to supporting the Tea Party principles and values that won them the House in 2010.
At risk of infuriating those who are so depressed by Obama's victory that they require suicide-watch, I believe God has a blessing/pony hidden in Obama winning a second term. My faith requires that I trust God.
Some say this election confirms that we have become a nation of entitlement junkies. I think not. Despite the left's best efforts to spin the election to mean the American people support Obama being the Robin Hood president, most Americans instinctively know that Redistribution Road does not lead to a prosperous nation. I believe many Americans are simply clueless of the truth and what is truly going on under the iron fist of the Obama Administration.
As I stated, we have much work ahead and must defeat three mighty foes; the Obama Administration, the mainstream media and a Washington establishment-minded Republican Party. Admittedly, our task is Herculean.
However, God and us are a majority.

We are winning even as we lost.

Fun fact. Debbie Stabenow got more votes in Michigan than emperor Obama. LOL
2,594,617 Stabenow to 1,708,256 Hoekstra
2,432,113 Obama to 2,040,175 Romney
Why should an American need to relate to someone that isn’t ?
Thank you, Lloyd. I’ve been wondering about His purpose in all this. I pray we all “get” the point of the lesson soon, whatever it is!
“I believe God is a hands-off operator, Lloyd!”
Disagree. The collapse of the Soviet Union was a prime example of God being “hands on.” Countless years of bad harvests, for example, primarily due to bad weather. This is often blamed on collectivization of agriculture. But Russian was a sharecropper country before the Revolution. Collectivization merely replaced the nobleman with the state. God did the same thing to Israel when the P-whipped Ahab adopted Jezebel’s pagan faith. Three years of drought. An infant mortality rate 3 times higher than that of the US, despite widely available pre-natal care. It’s not like God sent the Angel of Death to the unemployment line after that whole Exodus business. The communists murdred millions of clergy and people of faith. God wasn’t about to take that lying down. God won’t take sanctioning homosexual “marriage” or other depravities lying down either. If you don’t believe me, take a visit to Staten Island or the Jersey shore.
“Russia”, not “Russian.” An edit function would be a nice touch.
I’m still hoping God allowed this reelection so that all past crimes/scandals, etc., as well as those that we know will occur in the future, will finally take him out, and turn the people permanently away from the Democrat party. I can dream can’t I?
A little simplistic.
Obama and the Democrats equate to a sense of security for single women and latinos. They own these groups.
The Republicans must articulate why their security solution is better than theirs. This is touchy-feely, but Republicans must learn the game.
Mark Rubio's family immigrated as a protected class, so his credibility may be limited on this.
Objectivism is antithetical to Christ’s teaching. Maybe a running-mate who was more sympathetic to the plight of the poor and elderly (without being a tax and spend lib) rather than a Randian might have made a difference.
Many Hispanics are hard workers for sure, AND a lot of Hispanics are tax cheats AND plenty are sucking up govt benefits.
It’s a problem that must be addressed though, because they outnumber blacks, vote Democrat nearly as much, and are the fastest growing bloc.
The week before the election, I met an older Christian man who recommended I read a book by a Messianic Jewish Rabbi out of New Jersey named Rabbi Jonathan Cahn. The name of the book is “The Harbinger: the Ancient Mystery that holds the secret of America’s Future.”
Needless to say, I was skeptical at first, but after reading the book (actually, I downloaded it and listened to it on a road trip!) and then seeing the hurricane hit the NE part of the country and then having our election, I’m more open to believing that we are truly under God’s judgement at the moment. He has lifted his hedge of protection that we have been blessed with for generations, as we have turned from Him and said we don’t need Him.
Read II Chronicles 7:14.
We can get this ship righted, but our Believers must do all four things required in the verse above before it will happen. We can NOT do this on our own via any “program” that we come up with as the Tea Party or GOP or Libertarians.

(I downloaded the book off of either Amazon or iTunes...I can’t remember which.)
This nation is dead and many who call themselves "Christians" are as guilty of its murder as any Obama voter. What Obama does in the next four years will never be undone.
Actually, as bad as things seem, we are in an infinitely better position than we were at this time in 2008. Remember in 2008, Democrats controlled a majority of governorships, state legislatures, the presidency, a huge majority in the Congress and a filibuster proof margin in the senate.
Today we control over 30 governorships (and gained some more on election day), the vast majority of state legislatures. And the House of Representatives (who controls the governments purse strings) by a respectable margin.
Yep, I'm just hoping the dictatorship is a right wing military lead one (think Starship Troopers) rather than a Communist one. If I must live under a dictatorship, I would rather it be one that I agree with philosophically. (And hey, let's face it, life in a dictatorship can be pretty good if your on the same side as the dictator...)
A Christian who believes in a sovereign God can take solace in spite of 0bama being re-elected. But that only applies if that Christian got off of his butt and voted last Tuesday.
I believe in Deo Fisus Labora. Trusting God, work.
If I stand by and watch some thug murder my neighbor without lifting a hand to help, I cannot claim that is God’s will. I must do all I can to help His righteous will prevail. Otherwise, I have sided with evil by doing nothing. So lazy, Christian non-voters should be repenting in sackcloth and ashes, not blabbering about God’s will be done. Every dead baby paid for by our tax dollars is a stain upon our soul if we did not fight with all of our strength to prevent that from happening.
Passiveness is not equivalent to trusting God.
May God have mercy on us.
Thanks HR!
They discovered how well they could make out working for cash and getting welfare, food stamps, section 8, and free medicaid at the same time.
As a bonus they don't have to pay taxes and the government sends them a big check at the end of the year for spitting out puppies like a Pez dispenser.

The only pony I can see is that everyone will soon realize that we were right, as Obama shows what he meant by “finishing the job.” What a hollow pony.
“There was no pony at Auschwitz!”
Well, there wouldn’t be a state of Israel without an Auschwitz. The Jewish people would still be without a country, relying on the kindness of strangers to protect them from a world that will never be particularly fond of them.
