"Republicans" and the loss

For a laugh I went to Glenn Beck's page to look at some comments on the various articles about Obama's win. Here are some choice bits:

- Texas can show the US the path to prosperity by nullifying Obamacare, creating a silver-based currency, and preventing the EPA from operating in the state. Secede if necessary. Texas' secession is inevitable, so you should move to Texas if you don't support Obama.
- Obama can now put into effect his plan to let terrorists make further attacks here.
- When Obama said "This is my last election" to Medvedev, he meant that he is going to make himself a dictator so there will be no more elections.
- Unless God intervenes, America will be destroyed within the year.
- The fact that he was re-elected means that somehow Obama can now destroy America like he's always planned.
- The root of Obama's evil is when Satan created the Federal Reserve.
- Obama couldn't have lost because 100% of people receiving food stamps and unemployment voted for him.
- Sharia law is imminent.

I remember a lot of nonsense about Bush from some on the left when he was re-elected, but I don't remember if it was this bad.

Oh, that's the cheaper option than JetBlue's proposal (http://talk-politics.livejournal.com/1572338.html)!

We could pre-empt problems by selling Texas back to Mexico, see how the local crackers like that!

That will probably work....until you get as far north as Waco. From there, the competition to that concept is a more fully armed citizenry.

We could sell it to the drug cartels. They have plenty of money.

Yeah, we all know seceding over losing an election worked so well the last time it was tried. ;)
