Start calling for Bush to be tried as a war criminal.

a viewpoint received in a mass emailing today...

Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read 'Vote Obama, I need the money.' I laughed.

Once in the restaurant my server had on a 'Obama 08' tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference--just imagine the coincidence.

When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that in recognition of his support for Obama, I was implementing the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.

I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.

At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient needed money more.

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application. Too bad that more of these Obama supporters are not able to experience his policies first hand before they cast a vote to destroy the country.

But the lives of conservatives will be hardly empty going on. Obama has received only 52% of the popular vote, despite all of his investmets and media bias. So as long as we learn from this election and use it as opportunity to rebuild the conservative movement and actually turn into something much more meangful than it is today, we can still prevent he worst things from happening.

Good Evening Everyone! I just got into LGF after multiple (40+) attempts today. Every time it said Cannot connect to the server. I am so relieved to finally get on the site.
Charles, Thank you for your level head and big heart and for hosting this great website.
PJM had an audio recap of the election from last evening by Allapundit that I just listened to and enjoyed.
One of the 5 guests, brought up the question about What will happen to the MSM and newspapers post election, now that conservative Americans have seen first hand how unethical and biased it has become. One guest said well maybe now he could start charging for his work online.
It made me think about this alot.
Charles, Suggestion: If this is the case and possible to do, what about YOU, Charles Johnson, doing a daily feature story. Perhaps it's time for us all to start considering LGF with a VALUE attached. Tips are nice, but this has got to be oh so expensive without advertising to offset the costs. Perhaps charge for outside of membership participation to read it online. Members who are currently registered could contribute an annual payment based upon a sliding scale determined by the amount of postings they submitted. This would help pay for the power, updates to the system, and make LGF a world wide web newsource. LGF is the place to come to find out what IS actually happening here and will become more and more popular worldwide now that all the media sources are known to clearly be in the tank. Who will tell the truth? We will. What ya think?

My question is...

If they were almost completely unhinged while conducting a "political campaign" to put The Anointed One in the Oval Office, now that they'll be in power, what will they do with the power?

Somehow, I don't think the words "magnanimous" and "restraint" are in this bunch's vocabulary.

"They've proven their minds can be taken over by empty rhetoric."

Truth through satire.

Are we more screwed now than when Carter won the Presidency?

Carter did not have the shady associations that Obama did far as I know, and was not associated with fraudulent fundraising, associations with & actually working with criminals* and 'squirrely' (if you get my drift) organizations, and all the other sins that Obama has.

Carter was a linguini spined and ineffectual liberal, but not a thoroughly corrupt leftist (correct me if I am wrong).

So, we really are more screwed now than then.

I just read the newwpaper account of my hometown describing the election yesterday here. It bears no relationship to what actually happened. None. Zero. Zip. Nada.

I was on the ground. I was there confronting ACORN lawyers and thugs intimidating the poll workers and the voters. I was there when they called the cops. I was there when I called the cops. I was there when they tried to have the pastor of the church housing the polling place arrested. I was there when the ACORN thugs started dragging people from the neighboring housing project in and filling out registration forms for them.

I was there.

Yet according to the local papers everything went like cotton candy in Unicorn-land.

There is no relation to what you read or hear in the MSM to actual events on the ground. I have the police reports to prove it.

Oh, and I missed you yesterday, but I want to tell you how much I admire your hard work on this campaign.

I have been trained to experience an Obama transition. Some years ago I was ordered to be the Shore Patrol Officer for the evening in Olongapo City, Subic Bay Philippines. The job consisted of dividing up the assigned troops from every ship in the port into teams, sending them to their assigned sectors, going around to check that they weren't slipping off to an assignation with a bar-girl, at least until after the SP duty ended, and seeing to it that intoxicated sailors got back to their ships intact. First thing I did was choose the biggest ugliest sailor available to go around with me. After I won that argument it was a fairly pleasant evening. Just remember to always remove all glass from the table before waking up a drunken sailor. The area patrolled consisted of two streets Magsaysay and Rizal that formed a T ending at the famous "Bridge Over the River Shit" that lead into the Naval Station.

At the end of the period given to our patrol I met some of the men at the top of the T. We then marched down the street to the bridge at the bottom as other members of the patrol fell in with us when we reached their assigned posts. Behind us a enormous din arose as the bars erupted now unconstrained by any formal presence. The girls leaned out of the windows blowing kisses and calling for the troops in my patrol to hurry back. I imagine that the departure of the Roman Legions from Britain may have elicited a similar scene. The departure of the Republicans from Washington and the arrival of the Democrats behind them will produce a similar orgy.

Please describe what you think substantial improvements would be.

Low unemployment. Reduced Federal deficit. Economic growth. No terrorist attacks (still). You know, good stuff.

re: #75 boogberg

What if the US is doing pretty good when the 2012 elections roll around? Would any lizards vote to re-elect Obama? I voted for McCain but I'd have a hard time voting against Obama if substantial improvements were made across the board.

And what if I drop a hammer and it falls up?

Personally, I can't wait to see to what use Zerobama puts the armed force as well funded as the US military. I'm sure it will make me feel all warm and fuzzy.

I ran into one of these brain dead Obamatons last night. He seemed surprised I was not happy. I asked him if he knew anything about Ayers, Dohrn, Rezko, Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson, et al. He had no clue.

Of course, the odds of this occurring, are about zilch. Likely to have nukes flying around the middle east by then. Unknown if our financial hoohah will be resolved yet - with luck, it will be. Bet your house on unbelievable corruption scandals throughout his administration. The Obama brown shirts will be passing out happy pills on the street corners and arresting anyone who frowns.

re: #86 doppelganglander

They spent a lot of money buying that election. I think they could have bought most Americans for much less -- a $50 gas card per voter, times 62 million votes, comes out to only $310 million.

Actually, that would come out to $3 billion.

The Obama campaign won because it had more volunteers and more money. And even then, it would not have won.

But Obama is young and charismatic, and McCain is neither.

And even so, Obama would not have won.

But we hit a perfect economic storm, breaking in the middle of the campaign. For those who have watched the movie, there comes a point at which the situation is just beyond repair. McCain gave a valiant effort, but a 30% (or so) market dive in one month, rising unemployment and foreclosures, and the MSM lying its head off about the Community Reinvestment Act and Raines' corruption at FannieFreddie and its having seeded the whole mess, swamped his effort.

re: #75 boogberg

What if the US is doing pretty good when the 2012 elections roll around? Would any lizards vote to re-elect Obama? I voted for McCain but I'd have a hard time voting against Obama if substantial improvements were made across the board.

Unlikely. The Exalted One's announced "initiatives" sound very much like what Jimmy Carter wanted to do in the 1980-84 timeframe, and which he probably would have done if not forestalled by the small problem of losing the 1980 election to Ronald Reagan. Those policies would have been disastrous then, and they will be disastrous now.

I really cannot see that President-Elect Obama's plans have the potential to do anything but tremendous harm to this country economically, legally, and in terms of foreign policy. I also do not see any evidence that he will miraculously transform himself into a moderate centrist, as Christopher Buckley and Peggy Noonan seem to believe. He is simply too convinced that he is absolutely right about everything, and that anyone who disagrees with him is ridiculously wrong. Yes, he said he would listen to those who disagree with him. So did Carter. Then Carter went ahead and did what he always intended from the start. I expect Obama to do the same.

His principal problem for the next four years, as I see it, is that sooner or later he and his followers are going to run out of scapegoats to blame their failures on- just as Carter did. I predict that, sooner or later, there will be an Obama "national malaise" speech, or its equivalent, in the National Archives right next to Carter's- under the heading "Things Presidents Should Know Better Than To Say To The American People".

Myself, I will at least be able to entertain myself until 2012 watching the lot of them whining that "It's Not Our Fault!"

(Well, actually, kiddies, yes, it is. As The Doctor once said, you buy your privilege to experiment at the price of absolute responsibility for the consequences.)

But I will truthfully be able to say it's not my fault. Because I voted for the other guy.

This is true. It's probably unparalleled in any election in U.S. history to have such a mega-cataclysm during the campaign. The fact that the election was so close in relative terms speaks to the intense doubts this country has about Obama.

Perhaps we should be more forgiving - a good % of people panicked. Many will certainly have impulse buyers' remorse.

And I am not a conspiracy theorist regarding the timing of the economic collapse, although you can be sure if Mac won, the left would be attributing it to the collapse as engineered by Karl Rove.

I have to admit that The One has motivated me. I registered a Ruger GP 100, .357 revolver this morning. Immediatly payed the fee for an additional purchase permit and was back in an hour with a Ruger P94, .40 cal. Police Chief oohed and aahed at the latter.

Then I asked her if it wasn't racist to discount them just because they were Africans. It got really quiet

But, I began to get more and more of my information online and canceled the subscription 3 yrs ago. I do miss it sometimes. Mort Zuckerman writes the best op-ed in the business.

... If there HAS BEEN, in fact, a rational just system for choosing our government ... [and] avoiding 'lying politicians' we would all benefit...

/but I have been sternly asked NOT to discuss that alternative here.

There is a way. It's called an fMRI (brain scan), and it clearly shows when someone is lying. I've read it can even be used remotely. Its use should become mandatory . After all, TRUTH can only be good for the health of this nation, right?

Good morning Reptilia. Perhaps appropriately, it is a gray, rainy day outside. I wasn't able to connect very well last night due to the load.

And I would like some really good reasons why I should not abandon the sinking ship (going down with it is a reflection of the inability to keep it afloat) and move to the Daily Kos.

Cognito (#227),

Not abandoning print. They're going monthly.

Actually they're abandoning printing "news".

The Post added that the monthly print edition would also be entirely devoted to consumer guides and not news.

What happened to the links that lizards used to include to Pinky and the Brain Youtubes and Roman Emperor Wiki pages? Is the charm of the old LGF getting burnt out?

Thanks

Not abandoning print. They're going monthly.

My mother paid for 50 issues a year. They cut it back to 25 after she renewed. Now they're cutting it in half again.

If it were a non-custodial father instead of a national weekly, he'd be in jail right now for non-payment.

Dean Barnett will be missed.

Two quick thoughts:

Anyone else see all those college kids from George Washington Univ. hopping around outside the White House last night? Some even in hammer and sickle garb? How funny--their parents are paying the highest tuition in the country this year, for that kind of idiocy.

Also, did anyone else notice that all the Obamas were wearing red and black? Aren't those signal colors used by the Bolsheviks and then the Cubans during the 26th of July movement? Just saying. That dress did nothing for Michelle, no matter the color--the cut was weird.

Whoa, is the premium vanilla ice cream tub almost gone? I really must have gotten shitfaced last night.

Scipio Africanus

He wasn't African, though. They just called him "Africanus" because he whupped the Carthaginians in N Africa!

I don't think BOzo getting elected president is going to help any race relations. From what I've seen so far, its making them worse.
