"Republicans" and the loss

[hikarugenji.livejournal.com]

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.

Well, depends on whose watch the Yellowstone caldera goes up. It's due anytime now. But blaming it on the POTUS might be stretching responsibility just a trifle.

"Obama can now put into effect his plan to let terrorists make further attacks here."

I have yet to see these attacks... at least from the mooslims.

Remember, we only have until December 21st... (or did I get that right?)

A silver based currency... Ooo-kaaay.

Texas' secession is inevitable, so you should move to Texas if you don't support Obama.

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

Unfortunately, I know what this is about.

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

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

But, but, this means no vampires!

This guy wasn't very specific, he just said he liked silver better than gold for this purpose.

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

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

What the Lone Ranger's horse has to do with this..idk...

[rick-day.livejournal.com]

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.

Part 2:

- Because of Obama's re-election, Iran will nuke the US within months.
- Obama is showing a "growing insanity" that will result in him pursuing a scorched-earth policy towards the US Economy.
- Obama intentionally allowed the Americans in Libya to die in order to weaken the US' position in the world.
- True patriots will soon be shooting people looking for handouts.
- Obama's victory is God's will to destroy America, but true Christians should stay alert because God will save a remnant.
- Obama's victory proves that he has supernatural (i.e. demonic) powers.

What I also find funny is people who are flummoxed that Glenn Beck incorrectly predicted events. They seem absolutely shell-shocked that Romney didn't win by a landslide victory.

It was definitely this bad. I remember predictions of basically concentration camps for political dissenters.

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

Beck was a "shock jock" on Houston radio. He didn't have a clue what state politics were all about when he lived here, and he knows even less about Texas now.

Honestly, who cares about what the assclowns butthurt about losing the election have to say? It was annoying that people still won't let the 2000 election die, but with 2012 having 303 votes in the electoral college, we do not have 2000 repeating itself now. As far as I'm concerned after four years of being told a bunch of steaming piles of bullshit about Obama that miss 90% of what he's actually doing wrong, shade 5% of it very wrongly, and have no comprehension of 3% with 2% being the usual trolls just throwing a flaming bag of shit on the door, the next four years are going to be quite entertaining indeed.

[underlankers.livejournal.com]

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

[underlankers.livejournal.com]

So supernatural powers = 303 electoral college votes? Very underwhelming powers those are. He must be the Aquaman of the Injustice League of Doomy Doom. ;)

the next four years are going to be quite entertaining indeed.

That is why we vote is it not?

Fluoride in water is another crazy Libertarian talking point.

DON"T TREAD ON MY WATER!

It seems comparable to what I remember but I'm sure someone will take issue with my assesment.

In the mean time where are some choice words for my fellow conservative leaning folks

[underlankers.livejournal.com]

I would have thought we voted based on policies we agree with, but hey, since the GOP spent the last two years working for Obama to be a one-term President, I wish them equal success with all their goals for the next four years. They can keep up the good work just fine. :)

Part of me wishes they WOULD secede. Go. Make Galt's Gulch. Enjoy. Put those great ideals into action. Let's HAVE that experiment. Let's see which society fares better.

SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GO ALREADY!
