"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.

A silver based currency... Ooo-kaaay.

Unfortunately, I know what this is about.

It's... bad. Like facepalm bad.

Ah, I just remember a fringe group that wants to horde all this silver and wait for the End of the World as We Know itâ„¢.

They want it to happen, so they can be the new ruling elite while everyone else is running around crazy in their new anarchic paradise, eating each other.

This is a real thing.

I thought Beck was all about endorsing Goldline - I guess they pissed him off too.

Good point. Silver currency would deflate Beck's retirement portfolio.

Fluoride in water is another crazy Libertarian talking point.

DON"T TREAD ON MY WATER!

Exactly... Treading on water is Jesus' job.

I did not realize that your water broke.

I am a bit old for that sort of thing.

I'd bet on a dry one.
