Sore losers or something?

[ichoric]

What the heck is up with some (many) of the posters here?

You know who you are...
1. The draft is coming to a Union near you, because of Obama.
2. Required military service is coming soon, because of Obama.
3. All of the natural resources in America will be owned by the Chinese soon.
4. That Obama is going to raise taxes across the board and ship all the funds back to Kenya.

I suspect that these are the same folks that were saying back in February, and all through the summer that yesterdays election would never happen.

That Republicans would be the victors because that's who "they" wanted in power. (I have yet to figure out who "they" are.)

That rioting would break out after the president-elect, whomever it was, was known.

That martial law would be imposed (throughout the country, no less.)


Maybe some of you should take a long, deep breath, understand that OK, you voted "against Obama/for someone else" and you lost. It's not the end of the world. It's not the end of a union. It's something different. Yes, you, in all your infinite wisdom, have VOTED FOR THE LOSER. I've come to grips with that; it's a nice place to be.

If you really, really think Obama is going to turn this country into a full-blown socialist state (more than it already is)...then wait 4 years, and vote again. Maybe whomever you vote for will undo what Obama has done. That's how politics work in these parts.
PresidentABC implements policies A, B, and C.
PresidentXYZ implements X, Y, Z, and, realizing that everybody hates A and B, gets rid of them.
President123, of course, does his 1,2,3, changes Y and Z a bit... and now we have C, X, and some bastardized versions of original ideas.

Seriously though...some of you might be suffering through some kind of psycho-depressive issues, 'cause no matter what happens, if it's not what YOU wanted to happen...it's completely wrong, and thus, the worst possible case in the universe will undoubtedly happen. Maybe it's the pre-election chemtrails still affecting your otherwise sound reasoning abilities. =)

[Dixielee]

I have voted for "losers" before. I sure didn't vote for Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton. This time it is different, very different.

Well, I for one, believe instead of groaning we all should be praying, both for Obama and for the United States of America.

I am, and for the peanut gallery of libtards and such, I hoped McCain would win but I truely felt the bastard Obama would. We will now suffer because some many white libtards wanted to try and make their white guilt go away. The joke will be on them because we all now will suffer.

 

[Freeholder]

You know, I couldn't believe it when this country elected Bill Clinton President the first time, because I'd done enough research on him and his wife to know they were sleaze balls -- it totally floored me when he got re-elected, after proving to the entire world what a sleazeball he was. I had an equally hard time believing that Bush got re-elected four years ago, although by the time it came down to the main election, there really wasn't much choice left.

But THIS time! We've really done it this time! This Obama of the very questionable antecedents and the seriously questionable sanity -- the parallels to Hitler at the beginning of his power over Germany are so striking as to lead a whole lot more people than me into a comparison. I agree with wait four years and then evaluate what we've got -- I will be very surprised if some of you who support him now are still singing the same tune then.

ichoric, "search" is your friend. Those same type comments, fears and subjects have been prevalent here for the last 8 yrs over concerns/dislike of Bush too. Surely you don't begrudge one day, or even one year or longer of venting from those who have endured 8 yrs of those type posts???

Let's just wait and see if any of these fears come to be. Although, might I point out that some of the itemized things you listed have been talked about by the O himself, maybe just slightly different wording...civillian security forces and higher taxes/spread the wealth. I haven't heard or read about the sending money to Kenya thing.

[kozanne]

There is no alternative. For good or ill, we are stuck with the system as it is. If the third parties ever want to make their mark on the Hill, best they get started on a grassroots 'awareness' campaign RIGHT NOW in preparation for the next election.

The other side of the coin is Congress. People best wake the hell up and start riding herd on them like never before. We have Harry the Undead and Botox Nan looking to their president to help them unfold their agenda, if they even have one that makes sense. Watch Congress and get loud about it. Protest at every opportunity.

Prepare your household like never before. Do something about money and guns. Soon.

 

[fruit loop]

The same things were said about every other president....it's just part of the natural anger. I hope that it subsides during the next few years.

Obama is not the AntiChrist, he is not the Illuminati, he is not going to usher in a New World Order with concentration camps. People will realize that once they're not so riled up.

You may now return to your regularly scheduled prepping.

Listen, your pious attitude is not helping the matter.

Were you here for the past elections? This happens every time, what do you expect? Up until a few days ago I was STILL hearing whining about 2004 being a "stolen" election.

Besides- many hard core doomers are expecting the worst-case scenario, and have been LONG before this election came about.

And to Thomas Paine-in-the-ass...

I am not a "libtard," and fiercely resent the term.

I voted for B.O., and not because I am trying to salve my "white guilt." I voted for him because I am educated and literate, and can recognize that the world changes (anti-conservatism), and I welcome change when it is necessary.

After the last 8 years, change is necessary. Why don't you try supporting this new president the way you can't-think-outside-the-box conservatives told us to do with GWB?

So fold that 5 ways and shove it.

Dennis,

I wasn't around here when King George was elected/installed, but I do remember the general popualce of like minded folks was that he would be a disaster. We were proven correct.

Why don't we try to give the new guy a chance?

 

[sparkky]

absolutely dead on!!
"payback's a bitch"

 

[kozanne]

We don't have the option of giving your president a chance. He will do what he will do, and with the backing of people like Reid, Pelosi and Frank [who said once they got the first bailout over us the second one would be easier I spit on his name], the only option we have will be to live with it or resist at risk to ourselves and our families.

Just remember, 49% of us did not want that man in office. And some of us are just as educated as you are, possibly more so. Education does not indicate character, it indicates you went to school. I went to what is commonly called the Harvard of the West, the University of Denver. I saw plenty of idiots there, too. Education does not indicate common sense or intelligence.

 

[Bassfisher1964]

Why don't we try to give the new guy a chance?[/QUOTE]

I would say this new guy has the same "chance" as any other president.

A lot of like-minded people are saying his "chance" will be a disaster as well. Just like any other president when he drops the ball, and he will, there will be many people pointing this out, just has been done with all other presidents.

I can't see where the attitudes are any different toward this new guy as they have been in the past for former presidents. Is he supposed to be treated any differently? If so, why?

Larger numbers of folks than that didn't want GWB in 2000, but we got him anyhow. Gore won the popular vote by a much wider margin, and GWB did not have the landslide of electoral votes that B.O. enjoyed, but we got him anyhow. So, who cares about the 49%? None of you seemed to care about our wider margin in 2000!

Conservatism lost. The world is changing. Get over it.

BTW...Drexel U grad here. And I've never heard of the University of Denver referred to as the "Harvard of the West." It doesn't matter what is referred to anyhow, cause it ain't Harvard. Drexel is Drexel, however, and there is NO comparison.

Thanks for listening.

I don't disagree the world is changing. I do not have to support it and I can choose to resist it if I so desire. Did you take your own advice and get over it when GWB got elected to his second term?

I will support the change I believe lines up most with my personal beliefs. Regardless of what the rest of the world thinks. One of those beliefs being I do not use my education to try and get a leg up on people who do not agree with me. That is simply elitism.

 

[TheSearcher]

Change. Change. Chaaaa-nnnnge...

For an educated person, you sure seem prone to the power of suggestion.

As for conservatism not being for change, you labor under a delusion. Conservatism expressly values progress, and real, lasting progress comes from taking aim at what you want to change very carefully. Obama proposes a shotgun approach to his "changes", and there WILL be colateral damage. We will survive it, but my high suspicion is that part of that survival will be in the rebuilding when he is gone.

I want all sorts of change, but I did not include redistribution of wealth, gun-control, and race-baiting as part of the national plan.

Let me also address the issue of your literacy, via comparison:

The Clinton had many rumours that swirled about the administration, hints that something was wrong, anecdotal tales of evil that were always hard to prove. Obama's machine was much different, in that they didn't cover their tracks very well at all. The confirmed associations, writings, videos, audios, and whatever else that was known about the man were discounted. For you and people like you, in your great intellect, you have dismissed it all as too damning to be real. You may live to regret that rationalization.

However, it is what it is. I am not going to endlessly moan about our loss to your guy. It doesn't effect the outcome, and it sure doesn't make me feel any better.

Regardless of what the ultra-liberal mantra might be, I will never "celebrate diversity" on a scale which will be forced upon me by Hussein.

The anger has to be acknowledged. It has to be dealt with. When GWB got his second term in 2004, I thought this board was going to blow up, and I was just a lurker then! The liberals went on tirades that probably should be called 'epic', and we let them do it. We should give the conservatives the same right.

Let it be acknowledged, let it run its course. But do not let the issues die. Resist, protest, watch Congress like a hawk, do everything in your power to let this administration hear your voice LOUDLY.

 

[kozanne]

Regardless of what the ultra-liberal mantra might be, I will never "celebrate diversity" on a scale which will be forced upon me by Hussein.

The Domestic operations section of HR 808, sponsored by Kucinich, will tell you just how to celebrate, Dennis. And I think at the end, we are 'urged' to celebrate diversity or some damn thing. My only question is in what form this urging will appear.....

We may have regretted George Bush for the last eight years -- I am quite certain that we will ALL regret Barack Obama for a lot longer than that.

Please don't misunderstand - I'm still angry, but I am focusing it, and I won't be whining. I does me no good at this point.

Yep, we have to watch Obama and the Congresscritters, expose their missteps and overreaching moments. LOUDLY expose. But we have to be smart about it. By no means do I suggest that you are being dumb about it, Kozanne. Far from it.

And I also agree about letting the venters get their venting completed. The sooner that "stage of grief" is surpassed before January, the better. We have much work to do, and we need a sea of clear heads to be successful.

Because B. HUSSEIN O is a very, very dangerous man-boy. He is a radical, naive, glib, arrogant, pompous jack ass. So is his chia pet Biden. He will be tested and FAIL. The media and your crowd will cover his mistakes. It might take some time for you to recognize he is nothing but an empty suit.

And by-the-way, please don't use how "educated and literate" you are just because you voted for him. That crap shows you as an elitist.

Kathleen, there is really no minimal limit to what the American voting populace is capable of. Most often recently we have plumbed the lowest depths of what many would think even remotely possible.

I speak to this topic from the state of Minnesota where our residents have had a ball electing an egocentric professional wrestler to the office of governor. We also elected the first Muslim congressman into office at the height of a war on radical islam, representing a district that is of course all about the welfare state. And now we are on the verge of still possibly electing a failed comedian, porn writer and radical liberal talk-show host to the Senate via a vote recount now in process.

There's room for a whole lot of analysis on how easily most Americans are manipulated through the media. But we know all that rather well. I suspect things will continue to get worse in this regard.

As far as being a sore loser? Sure, conservatives are disappointed and despondent at this point. We are wary about what the future holds and feeling especially protective of the basic principles on which the nation's history has been built since so much of it is being openly challenged by the victors.

All in all, though, it appears we are clearly abiding the election results with perfect restraint and great decorum, willing to allow the new housemasters to play out their fantasy script. The proof will be in the pudding as they say.

But we will certainly not be laying down and rolling over for anyone. Hopefully the new guys will do the nation some good. If not, their time will come to an end as it does for every failed political movement.
