President Government

Crap.

We can pray that he is up to the job.

ISRAEL: ATTACK NOW!

why am i laughing maniacally? i must be going mad.

I will extend my insincere congratulations.

fuck.

Charles- you're a class act. Personally- I have no comment.

Actually, he's president-elect.

Ouch.

and now the tears rolling down my face.

0bama. Old enough to rule the world, fool enough to loose it.

I feel like we just lost the Cold War...in 2008.

re: #13 obscured by clouds

I feel like we just lost the Cold War...in 2008.

We did. America elected a marxist.

He will be our president, and I respect the presidency of this great country.

But God save America.

Your sarcasm tag is missing.

President Barack Obama
POLITICS %P% Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 8:10:15 pm PST

Barack Hussein Obama is the next President of the United States, and we extend our sincere congratulations.

Country first.

Good bye. Have fun.

I think I'll go moonbat: He's not my president.

Look! The ocean is going back down!

/

onwards

Very very dissapointed. Soon the Americans will learn how bad of a choice they have made. Sad sad day.

fuckit, you win...don't screw it up to bad...

Freedom First. This country is about freedom, not Obama.

I think we've just witnessed the first late term abortion of a country.

re: #9 Soccermom

Actually, he's president-elect.

Actually, he's messiah-elect.

Just as I predicted;

Every network since the beginning of networks announces the President elect's full name, middle name included, when victory is clear.

Except for this time.

No one has the balls to say "President-elect Barack Hussein Obama." Incredible.

Can we say Hussein now?

Best we can hope for is that he doesn't fuck it up, and that maybe his ego is bigger than his ideology, like Hillary (as in, he'll play "moderate" to keep his approval up, rather than go straight Chavez right out of the gate).

I hope terrorists don't kill anybody I love.

Oh, and Barry? Tax your base first. They wanted you, they should have to pay for you.

Sorry, Charles, while I wish him no harm, I will not consider him my President. Ban me if you must , but that is my stance!

Charles are you going to be on PJ's TV?

I'm looking forward to "magical solutions", meeting with American enemies without preconditions, gas lines, and unemployment.

How about you guys?

Charles,

Who is we?

This is a sad day for America. I vote Present.

For the first time in my adult life I'm ashamed of my country!

Fuck him. Charlton Heston is my president.

seriously, what abt. acorn?
we know those fckers cheated in all the swing states.
wtf.
now that's not an issue.

Sucks to be Iraq, Israel, South Korea, and Taiwan right about now. Run up the white flag. Pass out candy in Gaza.

So can I stop paying my mortgages now, or do I have to wait until Feb.?

re: #20 Ojoe

Yeah, hey, those oceans are receding, and we began to provide health care for the sick, and food for the needy, and... uhhh...

Ya know, I never thought I'd cry over an election. I'm a conservative. I'm supposed to be tough and hawkish and ballsy. But I hate to see my country go down this path. I worked to prevent it, and it happened anyway. Futile, futile, futile...

As a public service we at Casa Reject would like to introduce the American public to some new terms which will become common in the next four years. These terms describe things that, until now, have been largely unknown in American culture...

Our first term: The "Perhaps Bag"

re: #28 FightingBack

Can we say Hussein now?

Until January. After that, it's blasphemy.

NO way to BO. Not me, not ever.

I should be upset, I am really not. Maybe its the wine? I am seeing this as our chance, our opportunity to take back our party. But we have to do it, not talk about, not whine about it, get off our butts and DO IT.

We won't have the luxury of the media pointing out flaws, or making them up as the case may be, as the Dems did with Bush. Its up to us. He will screw up. People will say "oh what did we do". We must be there with the answer, and that is going back to what our founding father's designed. If we sit and wallow in self pity about this, we too will deserve what we get.

Night all. Its going to be ok, so long as we stick to our convictions.

We won NC

1,942,000
1,919,000

And it felt GOOD.
I can sleep tonight.

Thank God for the Tar Heel State and the fine Military men and women we have here.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

So sorry, but it your fellow Republicans lost that fight tonight, Rev. King.

re: #31 Jetpilot1101

Charles are you going to be on PJ's TV?

Discussing it with them. Not tonight.

the origin of the material below may be attributed to Alexander Tytler, or even Arnold Toynbee, or Lord Thomas Macaulay.  Whoever can lay claim to the study of democracies that had existed until that time had remarkable conclusions.
He had this to say about democracy in general,
“A democracy is always temporary in nature: it simple cannot exist as a permanent form of government.
A democracy will continue to exist up until the voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority will always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship.”
 
Does this sound familiar?  With almost one-third of all Americans feeding at the public trough, its only a matter of time before everyone receives some form of benefit and henceforth, the entire country will crash and burn with most likely a military dictatorship filling the void.

The professor went on to say:
“The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
 
    From bondage to spiritual faith;
   From spiritual faith to great courage;
   From courage to liberty;
    From liberty to abundance;
   From abundance to complacency;
    From complacency to apathy;
    From apathy to dependence;
    From dependency back into bondage.”

I'm not going to pull the left's kind of immature crap and say he's not my president. He is, for better or worse.

I'm just glad it's all over. The whole thing has been emotionally exhausting, and it probably wasn't so healthy for me to be as obsessed with the campaign as I was.

When will the hammer & sickle get added to the flag?

I pray for President Obama. I promise to remain a good American. So help me God.

Indeed, history was made tonight. I'd have preferred that we'd elected our first female VP, but alas, it was not so to be.

In the interest of "Country First", I'll congratulate Senator and President-elect Obama. Your grandmother would have been proud to see this day.

Our work as loyal opposition has just begun. Let's lock and load! (metaphorically, of course)

re: #39 ClosetConservative

The people who have been ignorant will now learn some lessons; there is no way for Obama to keep all his promises.

The office will be a rude awakening to Obama

Palin is young

Portae Inferi Non Praevalebunt

And Massachusetts is going deeper into the shitter than we already were. Proposition 2 to decriminalize possession of marijuana under an ounce passed. The campaign was run by George Soros out of California on the premise that being charged with possession was jailing people and ruining their lives.

FICTION: People in MA are getting jailed for possession of under 1 ounce.
FACT: According to the Suffolk DA, nobody has been jailed for possession of such an amount in over a decade.

FICTION: Such a charge is preventing people from getting jobs because it's on their criminal record.
FACT: In small possession cases, the record is sealed.

FICTION: 1 ounce of marijuana is a small amount.
FACT: It's about $600 street value and 50 joints.

WOLVERINES!

Got a call from a buddy without kids at the local Republican HQ, told him to yell that into the room and see who got the reference. It's that or saying, "I, for one, welcome my new communist masters!"

Obama is not worthy of the White House. He bought the election. The MSM is complicit in his election. He came to power through fraud, ACORN, lies and deception.

It's now up to us to get conservatism together. If we can keep people fifty percent as engaged as they have been for the past three months, in four years we can TRULY be the maverick party.
I just took an emotional trip back in time and remembered how lousy of a candidate I thought John McCain was, and sans Sarah Palin he really didn't change my mind.

re: #43 ArmyWife

Ditto.

Our attitude may be "country first", but the president-elect's attitude is decidely not "country first", at least not THIS country.

People, don't despair. Without a Jimmy Carter, would Ronald Reagan have been able to do so much and so well? Without a Bill Clinton, would the contract with America have been able to happen?

We need to transform the GOP and turn it from a mush-mouthed pseudo conservative party into a real conservative party.

Fight on! Flood the phone banks of the house and senate whenever the wrong legislation comes up in the next 2 years.

But, remember, this is our country, and Obama will be the next president. We don't like it and didn't want that to happen, but make sure that we are a loyal opposition.

Strong loyalty to the country, and strong opposition to the wrong policies.

While I think America just made possibly the biggest mistake in its history, I wish President-Elect Barrack Hussien Obama well. Please govern wisely.

And God help us...

NOOOooo!

/cheesy Anakin Skywalker impression

God help America.

My Lord, is he going to win Missouri?

I should add that I'm in the "he's my President" camp as well. I will feel completely free to attack him and his policies in all appropriate ways (voting, campaign contributions, etc). That said, if some furriner talks smack, or acts as if we are divided, they can pound sand. This is internal, American business.

Eternal vigilance.

We must now be more vigilant, more active, more vocal to control a one party government.

There are bound to be serious challenges coming up in the next four years, with all sorts of unforeseen consequences. The likelihood is great that Obama will find himself in way over his head, and he may screw up massively. Pride goeth before a fall...

The Lord is Sovereign and He has placed Obama in this position for His own Will and Purposes. It may be for bad, it may be for good. It may be for reward, it may be for punishment. It may be for testing and trail.

I still am not ready to give up. BHO needs Virginia and Ohio, and much of Ohio hasn't reported. The Panhandle is still out in Florida. And BHO needs to crack the Rocky Mountain West. He may get New Mexico but I think Colorado and Nevada can hold.

Our country's going to need a lot of prayers.

I'll never stop being proud of my country, but I hope someone wrests this nation out of Obama's hands before we really get effed over.

You can respect the office if not the man. He is my next President barring any pre-inauguration discoveries that would prohibit such. Not what I wanted but I'm not about to lower myself to the useless tool status the left has been running around like since 2000.

Don't give the lefties anything, people.

Well, now American students will know what those growing up in recovering former satellites of the Soviet Union already know: the promises of socialism are hollow, the deification of it's leaders is vacuous idolatry, and it generally sucks to be them.

Congratulations to President-elect Obama on this victory. As for those of us now in the opposition, heed the words of Winston Churchill: Never give in — never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. And start work to take back the Congress in 2010.

I agree. He bought the presidency illegally. No credit card checks, ACORN etc.

I'm very sorry, this is unacceptable.

Hey Lizards. I know you're not happy. Damn straight I'm not. We're all very emotional right now. Hell, I'm in Ann Arbor Michigan and I have to deal with the O-bots running up and down the hall of my dorm SCREAMING like savages. Who knew mindless zombies could run so fast? And people outside screaming. And my parents said via phone they hear gunfire (from Detroit). But at least Jesse Jackson will have to shut his race-baiting trap (like he actually will, heh).

But I have three questions if you would be so kind as to answer; maybe they will help take your mind off things:

1. I was supposed to by an AR-15 carbine from my cousin before he left for Iraq again. Long story short, missed my chance and won't be able to buy it until he returns, after sometime after the Assumption. That is, if he decides to sell it. Should I drop the money on a new one? Cost difference is not substantial. I consider it an investment, anyway.

2. Anyone here an economist/know any economists? I am strongly considering switching from an engineering major to economics. The election is not really a factor in this, I have been mulling it over for quite some time. I would love to fight the fight for classical liberal economics-if it isn't killed entirely by this liberal mandate from heaven. Opinions?

3. Any advice on how to striptease? My girlfriend, a fairly moderate Obama supporter, bet me a striptease if McCain won. I have no idea how to do such a thing. Damn it.

Things will feel better in the morning. And as we know, it's all about how we feel, not what is, right?

re: #98 neocon hippie

The likelihood is great that Obama will find himself in way over his head, and he may screw up massively.

Maybe he can ask someone in a higher pay grade what to do.

Wonder if Obama gave McCain the finger when he was talking to him on the phone?

My fellow lizards,

I fear that bigger government will intrude on our lives in the next 4 years. I fear that civil liberties will be cut for those that don't toe the Obama line. Government will determine what the pursuit of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. The fairness doctrine will curtail free speech, The right to own fire arms will disappear into a "home guard". Wealth, hard earned money, will be redistributed.

That is...unless we stand up and keep the good fight going. Not to submit our beliefs, the rights of the individual and to become subservient to the Government.

My friends, I hope, I pray im wrong. I hope this is the peak of Obama’s popularity and that his socialist goals do not come true.

I hope for a conservative revolution, eyes opening to the threat of an all controlling government and that it does not, it can not, it will not work.

I hope in 4 years that the country can wake up to the mess that happened tonight. That the BDS and the democrat mantra of blaming other people will not work and will not last.

I look foreword to the “Change” of presidents 4 years form now.

Never Surrender.

McCain is conceding as I type this.

I think we have to look on the bright side.
If you have lived long enough, you realize that the ship of state doesn't turn on a dime.

I think we as loyal Americans must congratulate the first African-American president and try to realize the historic significance of this event.

Voter turnout was very high and young people and minorities were especially enthusiastic. I just heard on CNN that "forty percent on the millennial generation are minorities." America will go forward with a renewed
spirit. But of course that doesn't mean you should agree with everything the
Democratic party wants to do.

I am glad the head lizard has extend his congratulations on our behalf.

the origin of the material below may be attributed to Alexander Tytler, or even Arnold Toynbee, or Lord Thomas Macaulay. Whoever can lay claim to the study of democracies that had existed until that time had remarkable conclusions.

He had this to say about democracy in general,
“A democracy is always temporary in nature: it simple cannot exist as a permanent form of government.
A democracy will continue to exist up until the voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority will always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship.”

Does this sound familiar? With almost one-third of all Americans feeding at the public trough, its only a matter of time before everyone receives some form of benefit and henceforth, the entire country will crash and burn with most likely a military dictatorship filling the void.

The professor went on to say:
“The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependency back into bondage.”

re: #92 Random_Lizard

Should I plan on moving? Where can I move to where they would not have problems with a Conservative American? Is there anywhere safe in this world?

I just looked out the window. Country's still there, and it's still the finest place on the planet. Resolve to make yourself a collossal pain in the asses of your representatives, so they can't ignore you. Shoot, we were going to have to be vigilant with McCain anyway.

The O is for Obstruct, which is what I plan to do.

Country first, despite Obama.

Well I just explained to my kitty that under Obama's plan 40% of his 9 Lives Cat Food will be going to the mutt next door, 49% of his cuddles will be with me under his favorite comforter, and his arch nemisis (the psycho kitty that likes claw my hands to shreds) will be in control of the State Department and psycho kitty will be in favor of all the psychotic middle eastern governments that want to claw us to shreds

Well, even if the Left can preen for a while, the victory isn't as complete as they may think. This republic is much stronger than their agenda.

God bless us. I sincerely hope President Obama will lead us successfully in the next 4 years.

Sarah Palin in 2012!

would it be wrong when i put my flag up tomorrow to fly it upside down? just asking.

This sucks. Think of all the moonbats moving back from Canada and France now. Ugh.

re: #154 Sharmuta

Um- Ohio deficit is still shrinking.

Even if Ohio flips is not enough.

McCain can have OH, FL and everything from the Mississippi to the coast states. It's still not enough.

Current EC count (old)
Obama 220 McCain 135.

Flip OH's 27 (still slim chance)
O 193 M 162

CA, OR, WA are a given to O 73 ECV.
O 266

HI is puts to O 270.

Not gonna' happen.

My congratulations to our new President Elect, Barack Obama. Only in America could this election have happened, and it does speak to the greatness of this country. I hope you serve the country well, and that you fullfill the promise of the many great speeches you made. I hope you remember that first and foremost you serve all Americans, and those are certainly big shoes to fill. I’ve seen that onerous burden prematurely age several presidents in my lifetime, so you have my support and my best wishes for success.

Congratulations to Obama. He deserves everything he accomplished and everything to come his way...

This is a historic accomplishment that will inspire many young people. He is not my choice but I will respect the office he has won. I wish him only the best. May he live a long and prosperous life, having served only one term as president.

And the Republic ends...not with a bang, but with a whimper. The shining city on the hill is no more.

I think it would be an appropriate time to take a moment and say a prayer for Mrs. Reagan, especially in light of her recent health issues. I can't begin to imagine what is going through that dear lady's mind. Thankfully, as is the case with my Grandparents (coming up on a whole 20 years now), perhaps it's better that the Gipper has already moved on to a far better place.

re: #61 nyc redneck

he has stated his intentions. most are terrible for our country.
people just refused to believe him.
what will the coal miners say when the whistle doesn't blow anymore?

They should tar and feather their stupid fucking union bosses.

A few thoughts...

Looking for a silver lining: I am glad the outcome is decisive and will not be disputed in the courts. The court should not be deciding our elections for us.

Even though the electoral map looks decisive, current vote distribution is very close, which tells you the country is still almost evenly divided. Reps, if they are organized, can take things back.

On the half full/half empty category: if the Dems have a majority in both House and Senate, they are likely to go overboard, setting the stage for Rep gains in 2 years.

I hope Obama performs better than expected vis a vis Israel and the Middle East, or things will get very ugly very soon. I'm wondering what effect an Obama victory will have on Israel's elections. Are Israelis more likely to vote Likud, reasoning that Israel will need someone firm to stand up to pressure from Obama?

I think Obama adulation will start to die down once he is in office and making actual decisions. There is no way he can live up to the inflated expectations of those who have projected every dream onto him. In reality there is only so much a president can do, and despite the aura, he can't walk on water or multiply loaves and fishes.

God help us and God help Israel,Iraq,South Korea, and Afghanistan...

re: #110 hermeneutics

Yes.

Maybe its time to start seriously talking secession. There's just got to be a safe place somewhere for libertarians.

I am sorry Herm.

I have to strongly disagree.

Talk of secession is talk of surrender.

No surrender. Not now. Not ever.

Besides, talking about secession is just crazy talk. It will only make us look goofy.

We will be all right.

Have courage. Your friends and your children will need you to show them how to survive in the world that is to come.

We will be all right.

re: #170 PattiO

What the hell was up with McCain's concession speech? When did they write that, last week? It went on forever, he sounded like the big pussy he's been throughout this entire campaign. I'm starting to believe the conspiracy theory that he took a dive.

Go Fuck-yourself.

The Misery Index is inextricably interwoven with the history of Jimmy Carter - and now we are going to bring it back - just in time.

Ironically, we are and will do very well during this down turn, due to the type of business we run - business is already up - and we will save our money and not buy chinese crap - and not pay the sales taxes.

Somehow, this cartoon isn't as funny as it was yesterday:

Welcome Back, Carter

Shut up already, you sound like those asshats predicting that W would declare martial law and stop the election.

Hmm. The party that will now have virtually unrestrained power has on its agenda a law which will make voting on the issue of admitting labor unions a farce.

This election was tainted with widespread voter fraud, frequently aided by government officials.

People still get to vote in totalitarian regimes, it's just that their votes don't really count.

How sad that, in those two words, you've already said something that our president-elect, his "finally proud of her country" wife, his bomb-throwing, unrepentant domestic terrorist buddy, and his spiritual mentor have ever been able to say.

When Obama says, "country first" maybe he means Germany, since he seemed so happy to campaign there.

Congrats, Obama.
...with that out of the way...

I am concerned for all the good work done so far in the Middle East, it feels like hopes for democracy are not the hope we can count on anymore.

re: #164 FortunateSon

2. Anyone here an economist/know any economists? I am strongly considering switching from an engineering major to economics. The election is not really a factor in this, I have been mulling it over for quite some time. I would love to fight the fight for classical liberal economics-if it isn't killed entirely by this liberal mandate from heaven. Opinions?

3. Any advice on how to striptease? My girlfriend, a fairly moderate Obama supporter, bet me a striptease if McCain won. I have no idea how to do such a thing. Damn it.

Switching majors might be a good idea. There may be a lot of experienced Engineers looking for work in the next few years. Depends on The Messiah's defense budgets.

On the strip tease, go for some unusual underwear, that should distract attention from the awkward movement.

re: #176 jtm371

Here's hoping that the pendulum will start swinging the other way. I suspect another Clinton-like scandal-ridden administration. Maybe the electorate will be sick of Democrats in four years.

Don't leave, that will just make it more difficult in 2 and 4 years. If all the libs that went cuckoo after 2004 had followed through on their threats of abandoning the country this would have been a conservative sweep. Instead they lied, stayed, and conned a few more million half wits into following them into the abyss. It may be a painful 4 years upcoming, but pain builds character and teaches lessons.

We'll be back.

Charles,

Maybe the first thread tomorrow could be a place to graciously concede victory to Obama but tonight I just can't.

God bless Senator Obama -- I don't agree with anything he espouses, but we have to be impressed by this achievement. He'll need our prayers and support.

Jindal-Cuda 2012!

I can't imagine that being POTUS is easy - I truly hope he can handle it.
Having said that, Congratulations Senator Obama. I also hope you prove all of your critics wrong.

Frankly Charles, I appreciate all you do for us in an atmosphere of extreme prejudice against Conservatives in the media. That being said I don't care tonight what the left wing thinks about me. I'm profoundly disappointed I'm my fellow Americans and I am not the least bit interested in getting along.! Ban me if you like, but I believe it is in the best interests of America to dissent!

this pos might be your president, but he is not mine. I will never, ever give my support to the nazi dems. I will give them what they gave us.

While we try to figure out the logistics of our new Socialistic utopia and enjoy our free lollipops and WRCs (Wealth Redistribution Checks) from the government, keep your eye on the Middle East ball.

Yes- I realize I said that twice. They're traitors. They are the enemy. I'm angry at the fraud we just watched be perpetrated on this country by their lies and distortions.

Let's not be overly dramatic. America is not finished. No matter what hardships we face, we will persevere. It's not political parties or politicians that make us what we are. It's the American spirit, and the grand experiment that continues on. Are we in for four years of difficult times? Quite possibly. But, America has survived worse in the past. God willing, it will survive worse in the future.
