Start a Second U.S. Civil War as rebels. We could make a mass patriot movement into the Heartland of states like Texas, form a new Republic and <br />attack the federal government.<br /><br />2. Head for the hills and form "Galt's Gulch Communities" and wait out the storm.<br /><br />3. Leave the country for Australia's Outback and somehow create a new USA in the desert sands.<br /><br />4. Support and vote for every crackpot socialist idea suggested by the Obama Regime in the firm knowledge that the country will soon fall into a Super Depression - then fall to pieces like the old Soviet Union.<br /><br />5. Commit mass suicide next on July 4, 2013.<br /><br />Ronbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767498198886077632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-54286074154421015942012-11-09T09:29:31.308-08:002012-11-09T09:29:31.308-08:00MIMs are the cause of Obama's: Minorities iden...MIMs are the cause of Obama's: Minorities identifying themselves as Minorities. MIMs.<br />Romney does not address minorities. He addresses people as adult AMERICANS. That just doesn't work anymore. Especially the Hispanics are problematic here. They felt "slighted"? Not enough attention to the immigration issue? I can't believe their arrogance... They are americans first, and should be rejecting illegal immigration whether it comes from chinese or russians or martians or mexicans.<br />Shame on mostly Catholic Latinos to vote in such enormous numbers for Obama.

That is unforgivable in my opinion, but there has to be a reason for it. When you can't get your base out to vote in an election THIS CRITICAL, you have a serious problem. At this point, I can't begin to guess what people were thinking. I have twenty odd theories, but it could be any one, or all, of them. I'm sure someone will eventually take a poll then maybe we'll gain some insight into why they didn't vote, but one thing is certain. Until we do something to re-energize our base, we aren't going to win another election ...<br /><br />Or, maybe there was there fraud on a scale we've never seen before? It's hard to say ...<br /><br />Ugh ...Guy in Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427016567260606130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-33992041414776295732012-11-08T19:26:51.069-08:002012-11-08T19:26:51.069-08:00Hmmmm Harry,

The three branches of government sure seemed like a good idea and a good way to govern but it now seems to be a complete mess to me. Where did it go wrong and how can we fix it?<br /><br />I am beginning to believe that the Communists have infiltrated every part of the federal government as well as the military and the CIA. You can see this in today's statements regarding the Nov. 1 attempt by Iran to shoot down our drone and the delay of the announcement until after the election.<br /><br />As for Harry Reid, he is one of the biggest problems in government and I find it hard to believe he has attained a position of such power. I felt the same about Nancy Pelosi, a person who should be no more than a joke.

The Presidential election is a beauty contest, first, last and always, and the President is primarily a celebrity, a popular king, whose looks and manners fit the mood of those who elect him. The election of one as bad as Obama, is enough to make me want to see the office of President done away with entirely, because after 40 years and 11 heartfelt votes on my part, I am tired of watching other peoples' pathetic, childish lusts win the day over principled, well-grounded judgment of character and ability -- and because power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely, and giving ultimate executive power to one who is basically just another g--d--- king has always struck me as utterly and irretrievably stupid. And if you would say the President does not have such ultimate power, then why the blue bloody h--- do the other powers that be allow Obama to appoint "czars" and rule by "executive order"? Stupid idiots, all, I say. There, that is my rant for the foreseeable future -- nobody wants to hear that, I know. (And by the way, Congress does not work now, and the Supreme Court is a perverse mockery of justice. It is all too much like a mafia organization, especially on the insane Left, a criminal syndicate that considers itself untouchable.)Harry Dale Huffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210275295826050501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-53470178319764944242012-11-08T15:37:03.611-08:002012-11-08T15:37:03.611-08:00Thanks for all your input.

In retrospec...Yes, we are shocked and in mourning. In retrospect, I see that most of the Obama voters seem to not be able to see the issues. They want handouts, they think he is their saviour. I personally know people like this, and no amount of talking with them has resulted in them being able to change. One is disabled, on disability, with two small children to support-perhaps his wife is working. I do know that he is a person that used cocaine for awhile. He claims to be a spiritual shaman, fighting with evil spirits.. but it appears to me that the evil spirits have won him over. His emails are full of vicious four letter language and sad to say, it looks to me that this is typical of some of the liberals - not all of course. Quite a few Obama voters speak beautiful 'airy fairy', New Age pronouncements of 'ascension; transformation of our DNA, declaring that Obama is a Golden Light worker come on a special mission for humanity, directed by entities just up there in space ships! They get all this through 'channeling.' No, I'm not kidding. <br />Others seem to be over-educated lawyers, unionized firefighters, etc. And they swallow the hype not being able to look deeper into what's really happening. Too busy, perhaps. These above types I'm talking about are personally known by me, but resemble across-the-board descriptions I've been seeing in the 'net. One of the lawyers seems to be a closet lesbian. There are even some members of my family who have adopted mixed race children (bless them) and I suppose they identify with Obama's color. One has lost his job, but still spouts derisive rhetoric. I could go on, but I need to go to some more positive thoughts for awhile at this point.

I thought that...Alan,<br /><br />I have to agree with you. <br /><br />I thought that Mitt Romney was too timid from the start but I also feared that if he really hit hard at Obama, the MSM would do everything to protect Obama and then they would attack Romney. <br /><br />From my observation, some well educated individuals believe that the US white male is responsible for all the hatred and evil in the world. These well educated individuals believe that the America white male owes the world for our sins and for the sins of prior generations and they believe that President Obama is correct in make us pay for our evil ways. These individuals also agree that we must atone for Global Warming, for using more than our share of energy, and for having too much wealth.<br /><br />ThanksBrodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602236391955998926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-15514026234856019392012-11-08T14:42:56.858-08:002012-11-08T14:42:56.858-08:00Can we use a machete to lance this *boil*??

If they don't have, the government will give them. They don't understand that what is given has to come from somewhere - or perhaps they think that's what Republicans are there for, to provide for them as they do care about all this difficult stuff? Wouldn't it be wonderful if the 58 million who voted for Romney just sat back and also didn't care? I watched Bill O'Reilly last night and Dennis Miller said exactly that. The poor idiot earning $41 000 a year and doing the right thing by paying his taxes can earn just as much, if not more, by going onto welfare, so why should he do the right thing? Maybe, just maybe, that would be the wake-up call Americans need. Obama supporters just don't care. The numbers are too big for them to understand.Lime Litehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062140213877618320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-8923520635406732832012-11-08T13:16:07.065-08:002012-11-08T13:16:07.065-08:00Fred...

Many of those who do work wouldn't accept the fact Obama is a failure and, worse yet, many wouldn't listen to the arguments against him.Many, many black people voted because of the color of his skin.

One note; according to the book China Inc. which is standard fare for MBA programs these days, China is producing about 100,000 engineers of various flavors each year! That's scary by comparison to our paltry rate. By the way, many of their engineers are coming from great US schools! How's that for irony! Keep charging.
