I hope Obamanation is a complete and total failure, because his success would mean an end to this nation as it was founded, and as we love it.

Yup. That's what the conservatives who keep asking, incredulously, "But don't you want him to succeed?" are not getting. Obama's success would be the destruction of this country and its values. To take an extreme example, in January 1933, when Hitler became chancellor, should decent Germans have wanted him to succeed?

Should a Russian have wished 1917 that Stalin would have great success? Stalin, in the end, defeated Hitler. Yet what sane person should have wished Stalin success?

Simple question. How should a German have dealt avec Monsieur Hitler in 1933?

Sorry, but it is not the same when they have to resort to character assassination and outright lies. I believe in eye for an eye and it is right to dish out what they have given. At least it will be based on truth and what they are. 0bama and his ilk are ghouls who have dished out hate and are about to face their justice. Submission is not good when fighting evil. These people want to destroy conservatives and any opposition. I believe with Reagan’s peace through strength and this is war on the domestic front. Deal with it.

Obama has set this country up to fail. So, it comes down to this, do we want the country to fail, or do we want Obama to fail? It’s not a difficult choice.

Obama has said, no promised, to do things that are not right for this country. He has gone on to prove that he has no respect for the system of government or other institutions by the people he has appointed to help him.

Obama has appointed people who believe in post modernist revisionist history and judicial restoration. They believe that laws can be ignored if they think the law is unjust or unfair. (fairness is big thing to post modernists) Eric Holder negotiated with Marc Rich’s lawyers even though he knew that it was against the law to do so, while Rich was a fugitive. Now, Holder will be in charge of enforcing the laws for the whole country.

He appointed as his chief of staff a man who tried to arrange the sale of Obama’s senate seat, and then Obama lied about it. Apparently, since the pay back to Blago was to come from Obama’s favored union, the SEIU, Obama does not consider it to be a crime. Again, judicial restoration, at work.

He put someone in charge of the IRS who doesn’t pay taxes.

He put in a hard core socialist as labor sect’y, who belongs to a foreign organization that openly advocates world government (that would cause a revolution in this country)

He put Hillary Clinton in as Secretary of State, a person who never supported Israel and is so compromised that no other head of state can trust what she says.

We all know about the Commerce Dept appointment. I think that the only reason that he resigned was pressure from the Clintons.

As long as Obama talks out of both sides of his mouth, as he has done recently on Gitmo and taxes, no can trust him.

I am praying for our country and for the President Elect that he will do the right things. I am not going to continue with the back and forths on this issue. You are free to believe and do what you like as well. So, I will continue to pray that the President Elect succeeds for all of us in this country. That is my hope and my prayer.

What? This is nuts. You can't play chess games with your morals. You oppose what's wrong, period.

Right, you work within the frame that you know at the time — and you act morally based on that knowledge. If you have deep reservations about a leader, based upon who he hangs with, based upon policies he has enacted, or supported as a legislator — you see a good number those policies which he has supported as immoral, you see some of supporters as evil unredeemed — should you wish that leader success?

“Although the infestation of the cotton crop by the boll weevil destroyed much of this system around 1910, the effects of a cotton economy remain evident. Descendents of freed slaves remain on the land, and make up the largest proportion of the population in most Black Belt counties. Thus, the term “Black Belt” is understood today as a demographic characterization as much as a geologic one.”

Wrong. THIS is the ORIGINAL meaning of the black belt. Others have now added the black person thing, but this is the original meaning.

Alabama's Black Belt is a region of the state and part of the larger Black Belt Region of the Southern United States, which stretches from Texas to Maryland. The term referred originally to the region underlain by a thin layer of rich, black topsoil developed atop the chalk of the Selma Group, a geologic unit dating to the Cretaceous Period. The soils have been developing continuously at least since the Pliocene Epoch. Because the underlying chalk is nearly impermeable to groundwater, the black soils tend to dry out during the summer. The natural vegetation of the chalk belt consisted mainly of oak-hickory forest interspersed with shortgrass prairie, while the sandy ridges flanking the chalk belt supported pine forest.

I’m rooting for him to fail on his domestic policies but hopefully the country will be kept safe.

I’m not sure that appeasing terrorists and opening dialogues with them will prevent attacks, but I sure dont want to see more attacks on this country.

I want socialism to fail, I want higher taxes to fail, I want a welfare state to fail, I want efforts to make this country a third world nation to FAIL.

I want the MSM’s credibility with sheeple to FAIL, and I want the sheeple to realize that their utopian dreams of a communistic, global world will fail.

We have to re-educate the uninformed in our country. They seem to respond to bumper stickers. Let's start some campaigns back to freedom.

Here are a few ideas;

Which way to Galt’s Gulch?
Join the Cash-Cow stampede!
No taxation without representation! ( sounds familiar )
Obama, where is my IRA?
You need me more than I need you!

Use your head!

Low senator counts and high representative counts place most of the electoral votes in densely populated areas. If you reduce the representative count, and increase the senator count, you spread the electoral votes across the map a little more evenly.

I would love to have a nice, black conservative as president. Thomas Sowell would be a great choice. We're in for a bumpy ride. Just finished listening to the House Minority Leader on the Laura Ingraham show and he sounded very conciliatory, saying that we needed to be “respectful” towards Obama. We need strong leadership to fight, not roll over for the Democrats. They haven't worried about being respectful to Republicans in general or Pres Bush in particular. So let's stand up to these people, challenge and criticize Obama, and stay aggressive and on offense.-—Mark
