A witty yet chilling read....

Although I have not always been the most outspoken advocate of President-Elect Barack Obama, today I would like to congratulate him and add my voice to the millions of fellow citizens who are celebrating his historic and frightening election victory. I don't care whether you are a conservative or a liberal -- when you saw this inspiring young African-American rise to our nation's highest office I hope you felt the same sense of patriotic pride that I experienced, no matter how hard you were hyperventilating with deep existential dread.

Yes, I know there are probably other African-Americans much better qualified and prepared for the presidency. Much, much better qualified. Hundreds, easily, if not thousands, and without any troubling ties to radical lunatics and Chicago mobsters. Gary Coleman comes to mind. But let's not let that distract us from the fact that Mr. Obama's election represents a profound, positive milestone in our country's struggle to overcome its long legacy of racial divisions and bigotry. It reminds us of how far we've come, and it's something everyone in our nation should celebrate in whatever little time we now have left.

I wasn't sure if this had been posted yet. It's full of dry wit and sobering possibilities.

If you can’t get a wry smile while thinking of your country going down the toilet, what can you smile at these days?

I emailed my very liberal friend and informed her that her children have just been put on community service.

50 hours a year for middle schoolers???

So people are going to have to take time out of their week to take their kids to community service? And stay with them of course?

I plan to protest this garbage. This is not the Hitler Youth damnit.

Perhaps enlisting or going to military academy is safest place for our students to be...

I have no idea what I am supposed to click to listen to or read from this site you referred to. I'd like to read the whole article or whatever it is but there are about 50 to choose from.

Which one is it?

I was tempted to “tell my story” on the link your provided. Self preservation kept me from doing so, as my story is not apt to go over well with a man consumed with his ill-advised power.

It’s Obama’s new America.

Sad thing is that liberals won’t react until things happen to them in a negative way and even then, they’ll somehow blame it on Bush.

Have faith my fellow Texan, our Lord works in mysterious ways; we do not know what HE is doing, but Gods hand is in on this, HE will not let us nor our Republic down. Keep the faith.

I tried my best to explain to the Obots that nothing comes for free. All that free stuff will come with a price.

He’s more Caucasian than Black and more Arab than Black, so why is he an African American? Am I an Idahoian American? African is where his father (and probably he himself) was born and Idaho is where I and my father were born.

I don’t think some of the readers of this piece “get” it—the writer isn’t laughing at this situation, he’s using humor to show just how insane 52% of the voters just went. That’s not the same as enjoying it.

From the website above:

Supporting Stem Cell Research:
Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe that we owe it to the American public to explore the potential of stem cells to treat the millions of people suffering from debilitating and life-threatening diseases. Obama is a co-sponsor of the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007, which will allow research of human embryonic stem cells derived from embryos donated (with consent) from in vitro fertilization clinics. These embryos must be deemed in excess and created based solely for the purpose of fertility treatment.

There is nothing worse than to try to talk to an Obamabot. These people are so enchanted with their messiah.

I think conservatives need to get back into the game and take back the schools. The liberals have controlled the schools and are brainwashing students from K - college. These kids grow up programmed for liberalism. And I see so much of that in the State of Washington.

And, their choice will cost much more than money.
