To my liberal friends:

1) Congratulation - with the help of the biased MSM you have won a bitterly constested campaign. Take as much time as you want to revel in it and rub it in. That’s just normal after winning a long battle and it’s what we would have done had you lost.

2) Know that most of us (unlike liberals regarding President Bush) will respect the election and the office of the President and you will not find us engaging in rioting or other illegal/crass behavior.

If President-Elect Obama came to my house I would say “hell’o Mr. President” and invite him in. If I was still working for the agency I retired from I would work to give my life for him if required. I did it for President Clinton even though his election by the American people was a personal slap in the face of this Vietnam veteran.

3) But also know we will spend every waking minute to neutralize as much as possible any policy President Obama promulgates that we feel is destructive to the principles of this Republic.

The battle for the soul of this nation will continue.

God bless America …………..

IF OBAMA WINS, YOU LIBERAL IDIOTS HAVE SADDLED US WITH A PRESIDENT THAT IS THE LEAST QUALIFIED IN OUR HISTORY! NO EXPERIENCE! NO RELATIVE WORK HISTORY TO EVALUATE! COMMUNITY ORGANIZER IS ENOUGH TO SEND CHILLS UP THE SPINE OF INTELLIGENT PEOPLE! WANTING TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THE SOCIALIST UNIONS TO DESTROY ANY PRIVATE BUSINESS! SCARY! RADICAL SOCIALIST MENTORS WHO ARE ANTI AMERICA AND PRO SOCIALIST COMMUNIST! THESE ARE ENOUGH THINGS TO SCARE THE HELL OUT OF ANY INTELLIGENT PERSON!

Jim, the writing was on the wall at least a month ago. I can’t believe that as a POLITICAL EDITORIALIST you weren’t astute enough to see it. But of course, your dogmatic views blinded you to reason. Typical Republican trait. Prepare for 40 years in the wilderness as young voters and Hispanics (the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population) continue to vote for Democrats and your influence continues to dwindle. Good riddance.

Zeke,

If Obama wins? IF? You may want to study up on your arithmetic. The only question now is how many electoral votes he will get above 300. It IS a landslide right now, genius.

Oh, and I’m a socialist, but unfortunately, Obama is not. (And an “intelligent” person would know the difference between “relative” and “relevant”.) The mind of the Repugs right there. Dumba$$.

I am holding Obama to his promises: I get free health care; I get a tax cut and refund even though I don’t work; I get my full veteran’s benefits that have been with held from me; (he wears a flag now on his lapel after years of carping at those who asked my he didn’t) I get some of that wealth spread to me from the fat cats who actually do work. Only one problem: When you raise a billion dollars, you owe somebody something and the bill is going to come due. Obama has sold his soul and doesn’t even know it yet. Hold on, it is going to be a wild ride with an interesting cabinet and government, full of personal favorites, like Lewis, Jackson, Sharpton, Young, Spike, Springsteen, Farrakan, and Wright.

Not just a win, but a bloodbath. Two questions: 1) Why is the South sticking with the Republicans in a solid block? 2) What can the Republicans do to change in the face of this massive voter rejection? After two election cycles of convincing losses, one would hope they at least see the need to change. Maybe the two questions are related.

“Rick, that “blithering idiot” was president of the Harvard law review. Your last blithering idiot (Bush) couldn’t even get into the University of Texas law school and your present great white hope was at the bottom of his class in the Air Force Academy. That “blithering idiot” was also able to outsmart all those Republican stragestists. Maybe we have moved beyond the tactics of the great mudslingers of the Republican party into a new era of true inclusion.

I wonder how gracious many who supported the president-elect would have been if Senator McCain won. Would you express concern? This country remains seriously divided, and I hope that soon-to-be President Obama’s politics will be centrist, and move out of the leftist fringe where he has spent his entire political career.

… along with censorship of all political dissent, confiscatory income tax rates, destruction of property rights, and rationed socialized medicine with non-party “undesirables” at the back of the line.

Yeah, there’s change for you.

At least there’s one delicious irony ahead… after the Great Prophet and Savior guts the military and intelligence services, thousands (possibly hundreds of thousands) will die in new terrorist attacks… and the overwhelming majority of these future victims will be some of the liberal nitwits who voted for the inexperienced bungling trainee.

Well, America voted for change, and it’s going to get change alright. Democrats have had control of Congress for nearly two years now, and their approval ratings have been in the teens consistently.

Well, maybe the excuse now is that they can actually focus on what they were hired to do instead of focusing 98.9% of their time investigating the Bush Administration. Time will tell.

The Democrats deserved this as did the Republicans before them with their incompetence, irrespective of the main stream popular media backing and absolute zero negative stories on Barack and his background, and that of congressional Democrats.

Let’s give them a chance now. They have full control soon and have four years. If they can’t prove themselves and extort power with arrogance and a heavy hand, the pendulum will swing back the other way in four years.

Based upon the popular vote tonight, the Conservative/Republican vote is hardly dead - it just got a well deserved spanking.

Coprophile, You keep talking about how you and others on the right will respect Obama’s presidency unlike the way we on the left treated Bush’s. First, do you mean respect it the way you did Clinton’s? Do you think it’s just coincidence that the rise of Faux News happened during Clinton’s presidency? No, it skyrocketed because right-wingers wanted a channel to attack Clinton relentlessly. The third of the country that considers itself Republican never showed a shred of respect for Clinton. Or his family.

Secondly, any lack of respect we’ve had toward the Shrub has been directly related to the facts that (a) he was not elected in 2000, but installed by the Supreme Court after a contested Florida vote that was a direct result of deliberate (and illegal) vote suppression and disenfranchisement of Democratic voters, and (b) he has put the Constitution through a shredder over the past 7 1/2 years.

I’d have shown respect for Bush had he shown any respect for the office he held or the citizens he governed.

Secondly, any lack of respect we’ve had toward the Shrub has been directly related to the facts that (a) he was not elected in 2000, but installed by the Supreme Court after a contested Florida vote that was a direct result of deliberate (and illegal) vote suppression and disenfranchisement of Democratic voters,

WRONG AGAIN. The Bush Administration and Florida Supreme Court put a STOP to the illegality of cherry picking counties to recount - that leaned heavily left mind you - and used the LAW to do it. STATES have election laws, NOT the federal government. Further, not one single person ever testified under oath he or she was “suppressed” or “disenfrachised” from voting.

Take a good look at the Republican Party and look at the Democratic Party. The faces in any Democratic Party gathering are White, Black, Brown, Asian, Native American, Gay, Handicapped, etc. The Democratic Party reflects the make-up of this country. Look at pictures of Republican Party gatherings and what does one see? White! That’s it.

The more the Republican Party excludes people and ideas because they are different, the longer it will stay out in the wilderness. Take a good look at the diversity of this country and take a look at the party. History is passing it by. Once the Republican Party realizes that and moves to fix that, the faster it will return to power.

John McCains’ concession speech truly was moving. He recognized the historical significance and he spoke about it pretty extensively. It’s been unthinkable my entire life that an African-American could be elected President of the United States. I’m glad to see the change finally come. When I was a small boy I remember seeing water fountains labeled white and black. I remember separate bathrooms for the races. I never attended school with black people until I reached college. I served with plenty of African-Americans in the Marine Corps and they were like me-trying to survive and get back home. I think, and pray, this election will serve to inspire many young black men and women to know they too can achieve great things. America now has lived up to its promise. Truly, it can be a nation that is inclusive of all groups. I’m an old relic, sixty years old now, and I remember an incident that happened when I was five. My family lived in the sticks of Louisiana and one day my dad asked me to go for a ride with him. We went further into desolation until we reached a singular house. My dad blew his horn and a black gentleman stepped out of the house and approached the car. He and my father talked a bit about I don’t know what. Then the man, Willie Smith, started asking me questions you’d ask a kid. How old, what grade, girlfriend, etc. I answered all the questions that required a yes or no with sir as I’d been educated to do. When we pulled off my father told me I didn’t have to do that. “He ain’t nothin’ but a n****. A few years later Willie saved my sister’s life when he picked her up from a bicycle crash and took her to the hospital. I’ve had wonderful blac friends all my life and i thank God for them. I congratulate all of them tonight. Welcome to America!

Before WWII the US defined Democracy as an inheirant danger. The US was and should still be a REBUBLIC. We want to start Democracies in other countries because after a time the lower-class will vote to take all the money the governmet has to spend and a revolution will begin based on class. The United States just moved into the fast lane to TOTAL CLASS WARFARE. Thw Whites still hold the Minor Majority and Capitol Control. The ASIANS work harder at education and family values. The Hispanics(leagal & illegal) now outnumber the Blacks. Blacks like the new power of their vote and now there is a power struggle between the smart/asian, the hard working/All hispanics, and the newly feeling empowered blacks. I gave the US 200 more years until total destruction. I now evaluate that time table to be 75 years. Please find humor in this assumption. All the European Royals married between countries and families to soildifly power. Germany, Russia, and England. What happened was WWI. An ASSUMED DEMOCRATIC US will do the same between the RACES in the US. Do you understand why CHINA was able to keep a basic culture for 4000 years? Poverty helped because those in power never let the masses rise up in voice until the masses over-turned China and they became MARXISTS/socialists. Marxists because there are still very many rich people in China. Welcome to your childs future. We produce our own food, but the farmers chilos wants to go to college and leave the family farm. Cities don’t allow people to keep farm animals in the city( can’t raise chickens and produce your own eges), The community garden is comming back but if A TV is worth braking to a house to steal what do you think it takes to pick food from a city garden or kill a chicken? IT is a BRAVE NEW WORLD. It would not matter if it was McCain or not, but the election of a Blackman that the world thinks will stop the US form dominating the world markets will rapidally start our decline. Look at the WORLD MARKETS. If the US does not have money and doesn’t buy products then the total World Markets slow to a hault and more WARS will happen to fight over resourceses. If we can’t buy OIL form Russia and the middle east then they start fighting for the POWER they see nextdoor. Spend a day at WESTPOINT in a class about GLOBAL ECONOMIC FAILURE.

He won this election because of the sheer incompetence of the previous administration.
If Obama were pure lily-white, it would have been a Reagan type victory.

The election of Barack Obama as America’s 44th President marks a significant milestone in the history of social relations in this country. For all practical purposes, racism can no longer be used as an excuse for lack of success or achievement. While there may continue to be individual incidents of racism, from time to time, in both the white and black communities, the fact that a majority of Americans have been successful in electing a mixed-race person to the highest office in the land ends the argument of Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, and many other mainline black leaders that America, as a whole, discriminates.

Words cannot explain the feelings I have about my country. We baby boomers are still hung up in our ways and some of us will carry the scars of racism, superiority and bigotry to our graves. What I saw last night were young and older people with new ideas and no prejuidices related to skin color. This will make America much stronger both here and abroad.

Barack Obama is testament to those who gave their life for freedom and civil liberty for all. Many of them were white people. Michael Schwerner, Viola Liuzzo, Andrew Goodman, John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy and many more that I cannot remember as I get older.

This black man will never forget them on this day of celebration. I will not let my children,grand children and generations to come forget them either. I can now put slavery and all of its after effects behind me(although I will not forget).

May God bless America and protect Barack Obama and his family.

Obamanomics Day 1:

Several employees where I work were quite giddy this morning over the election of Mr. Obama.

When we all went home tonight with 10-20% reductions in hours (and take home pay) they were as glum as the rest of us.

Embrace that change, comrades.

Seems that management had been delaying making this tough decision to see how the election came out. The election result was very unfavorable to business, so the belt had to tighten.

Despite all the predictions I heard on the TV this morning that the Stock Market would surge today, the Dow sunk 500 points.

I can’t wait for Day 2.

The Fall of Pax Americana has begun. Historian Arnold J. Toynbee attributed one reason for the Fall of the Roman Empire to: “a plunder economy.” “The economy of the [the final Roman] Empire was basically a Raubwirtschaft or plunder economy based on looting existing resources rather than producing anything new.” Wiki. This election, and its stark coming “taxing and stated wealth transfer policies,” mark not the ending of a past dark age, but rather the Beginning of the Fall of Pax Americana.
