First whole states close in 12 minutes.

Thanks! I figured anyone who is named retrokitten and who plans to loot the likes of Taco Bell and Denny’s is my kind of person...I KNEW I could count on you in these tough economic times!! :o) (See my tagline)

ROTFL!!

[TXBlair]

This is the big shot for the liberals, their big chance to shine...and they have set the bar impossibly high with new and unseasoned voters during a time of unprecedented economic and international crises.

Excellent point. I have been so down tonight that your point hadn't even crossed my mind yet. The libs will have no one to blame but themselves when things go horribly wrong, as we know full well they will. Of course, we know they'll still point the finger at W...

And thanks to the politically ambitious men of no integrity on both sides, who will trade any part of America for votes and power, I expect to see full amnesty pass soon, to help finish off America as we knew her. There will be the ugliest pandering we’ve ever seen as both sides try to lock up these future entitlement voters.

I can’t give a racist America-hating thug even the courtesy title of “mister”. I don’t have enough respect for him to call him anything but his name, “Hussein”. More usually “the racist socialist”. I will return years of BDS with ODS, in spades. I don’t respect him even as a man, much less as a president. He got where he is through lying, cheating Chicago machine politics and ACORN fraud, why would I respect him? Just see how much respect he deserves when Jeremiah Wright, the racist America-damning white-hating thug, is sleeping in the Lincoln bedroom. My brother is leaving the military he has served long and faithfully before he’ll ever salute this racist traitor.

Agree totally, except my reference to him will be "that Marxist POS"

We have allowed this to become a nation where our faith is questioned. God is taken out of our daily lives as much as possible. We have rejected helping ourselves in favor of expecting a government to help us.
I believe that this is tough love time from our Father. And He’s absolutely right as He infinitely is.

Great post, CB. I just asked for wise counsel and God directed me to your comment.

This is tough love, I feel that's right. If God didn't love us He wouldn't correct us--or get our attention, which He most definitely has tonight.

Most of the time, He knocks softly. But every now and then, He has to kick the door down to wake us up.

This may be just the beginning of the noise He will make. There may be other things coming soon to turn our heads back to Him ... I don't know when, that's not for me to say, I won't speculate.

But I have an overwhelming sense that I need to be ready for Him and stay ready (I'm ashamed to say I haven't been).

[cherry]

but he is going to kill people like us.....my hubby and I are not smart enough, devious enough, rich enough to have tax dodges.....we will get pinned to the wall....

I probably have a bad enough back and neck to get SS disability...now thats the way to go....rest and sleep at home and get paid for it...

AND SO, this is how liberty dies....
Not to the sounds of struggle, but to the roar of thunderous applause.

Obama is ALREADY backtracking on his many, MANY promises tonite, and his voters are in some VERY big surprises.

Hold on to your wallets, folks. It’s gonna be a tough ride. Think “Carter Years” on steroids.

[longtermmemmory]

FNC nugget:

ONE thing and ONE thing only got obama elected, the ecconomic tsunami and no republican could have fought that.

(oh and FOX DID PAY FOR THE DELUX RISER)

BTW remember what the socialists do with their supporters after they win real power...

[Clinging Bitterly]

We’re not going to be getting checks?
Say it ain’t so, Joe!
(I was gonna spend mine on ammo.)

[Mad_as_heck]

Could this be the blessing with the best disguise ever? Or is it lack of sleep?

Yes, it could be. Or not. I think the choice is up to us. We have to make a silver lining for this cloud.

This is the liberals show now. At least for the next two years. In those two years conservatism need to "get busy living or get busy dying" as Morgan Freeman once told Tim Robbins- who I presume was eventually able to cast his vote for his messiah. We need to use those years to rebuild.

If we use these next two years to fix our problems and go on the offensive we have every hope of making 2010 the year of Elephant. Or it can be the beginning of the end. We decide.

[christianhomeschoolmommaof3]

I just keep wondering how so many people can be so delusional. If I wasnt so mad, I might feel sorry for them.

[TXBlair]

I cannot consider this Marxist POS as my president.

Here, maybe this will help:

POTUS

[concerned about politics]

I have been praying for God’s Will to be done,

America has been found "wanting."
Every one "wants."

Stop worshiping the material world. You don't need all that "stuff." You don't need all that junk food. Stop wasting, and use wisely what you have. Use it for a better cause.

Oboma won because he promised manna from heaven, and the people voted for their own piece of the bounty. They "wanted."

That's the lesson. Mans wisdom is foolishness. We were sent a savior, and our nation rejected him. Along comes another, and it was he our nation accepted. Now, our nation is about to reap what it's sown.

[silent_jonny]

Beautiful post.

[mrsmel]

We’re comfortable financially, and already pretty well “off the grid”, as I call it, but I don’t want to contribute one penny more to this government or anything that supports it (such as the media) than I have to. I’ll be damned if my husband and I will have worked and saved and used our ingenuity all these years, for the racist socialist to confiscate it to give to yet more lazy breeders. Let him use his own money to fulfill his bribes. I’m off this merry-go-round, by hook or crook.

Oh yeah, this is a given isn’t it? Sheesh. Okay, the main thing we cannot lose is our free speech. We must fight the Fairness Doctrine and defeat it. If we lose our free speech, we cease to exist as a free people. It’s that simple.

Well Dixville Notch has two more votes than registered voters and there was only 19 registered voters. Can you imagine this spread exponentinally? I do not trust the Diebold machines from Venezuela one little bit, Hugo wanted his buddy O to win and everything I’ve ever read about those machines leads me to suspect them...

THEE will not desert us nor forsake His faithful ones.

Amen.

Words fail me ... I'm just numb.

[retrokitten]

Maybe it’s simplistic, but you post made me think of that saying, God never closes a door without opening a window. IMO, He’s giving us a HUGE window!
