In this thread (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2126850/posts?page=13) some people shared their experiences about what they saw after the Election.
Carley said : "You could see shock and awe on the faces of most people yesterday. The commuter train in NJ was filled with silent people, black and white, wondering just what they hell they had done.
The trip was eerily silent when it’s usually filled with people chatting away."
or jnygrl : "My husband takes NJ Transit. He said his train was silent yesterday until it stopped at Newark."
Please, feel free to share what you've experienced around you. It would be useful for some FReepers or others.
Conservatives are quiet becaue of the Atlas Shrugged syndrome. Many are toying with the idea of sitting back and watching the fools make a mess of things for 4 years. It is a very tempting prospect to give the libs zero help or ideas on how to solve problems. Except on defense matters of course. Keep the troops and homeland safe.
Mexicans find any reason for a fiesta. Heck, if they can find a reason to party in that hell hole of a country, why not here!
And that was probably racist and I don’t care.
The big Dem majority in Congress has rendered Obama irrelevant.
A lot of moron suburbanites who don't think. There will be a revival of the old idea that the sick cultures can be helped by mandating federal housing to be built in suburban school districts. The local pols and corrupt developers will be more than happy to take advantage of a once in a lifetime get rich quick opportunity. I hope they enjoy those weekend celebrations fed by the wonderful service of regional transportation. Also since there will no longer be "suspicious" people in neighborhoods during the day, their houses will become gold mines. I think it's pure comedy.
Does anyone here think that maybe Obama inadvertently said something during his victory speech that broke the hypnotic spell he had cast over so many ... making them wake up Nov 5 wondering just what exactly they had done? Just a thought. The silence here in Georgia has been deafening too.
D.C. voted for Obama 93% - 7%
About the only place where you could ever find those kind of "tribal politics" is Utah, where they voted for Romney in the primaries by the same kind of numbers.
I am in the same boat here. There will not be any shared Holiday experience with my in-laws. It's bad enough they are extreme socialists...they just love to talk about and they have bashed Bush incessantly since 2000.
That is very funny, well sort of. I can’t argue with entrepeneur-ship. Capitalism at its’ finest.
I’d stick with the Kung Pao chicken and Hot and Sour soup myself.
Like not paying his employees for the time they worked.

How lucky you are!
You get to tell them “It’s all Obama’s fault!” for the next four years.
Payback is female dog sometimes.
“But I will never be an Obama hater, and lower myself to all those who have hated President Bush. I will stand for preserving America any way I can, I will voice my disagreements when he is wrong but try to do it respectfully. “
I won’t. That is what they bank on, wimpy conservatives who are Ned Flanders and okadokalee their way through crisis and being crapped on.
Call me the angry conservative, but I intend to make Obama’s presidency not fun for anyone who voted for him. I don’t expect it will be fun for anyone, but whatever.
This man bought his way into the Oval Office with terrorist money. I have no doubt of that whatsoever. He does NOT deserve my respect. To say that is the equivalent of Bill Maher saying the terrorists weren’t cowards. Twisted logic.
LOL. I'd love to use this as my tag line. But only if you say ok.
We're resilient; today is a little better. We can laugh, but people still aren't at all happy about it.
LOL. Somehow I just ain’t feelin’ that lucky right now. (Maybe I’m just selfish..)
Throw in today for me. It really, really sucks.
On the night after the 1996 election, "Emanuel was so angry at the president's enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign, grabbed a steak knife and began rattling off a list of betrayers, shouting 'Dead! ... Dead! ... Dead!' and plunging the knife into the table after every name."[1] His "take-no-prisoners attitude" earned him the nickname "Rahm-bo".[10]
I suspect ‘racist’ is going to be a far less powerful word in the future...That POS who will NEVER be my president got to use “That’s racist!” a few too many times in the primaries and the election (ears, wife, middle name, etc etc etc). Now, I have no EVIDENCE to back this, but it seemed to me that a few weeks prior to election night, BHO was being handled much less tenderly by the media and by McCain...It seemed to me that a spell had been broken : Why yes, you CAN question a Black Man and not automatically be a racist! I believe that may be one of the silver linings of a BHO presidency : An accusation of racism being met with a bored, “So what?” rather than a panicked desire to disprove the accusation, which has been the case for too many and for too long.
Just smile and say "I'm sure that republicans will be as happy and cooperative as the democrats were with them"
Do you get alot of the sidelong glances? I feel like I’m already part of The Resistance. I keep waiting for someone to give me the code signal.
