| I have never been so unhappy to be right. I've long said that Barack Obama would win re-election, and two weeks ago I stated as much in print. In making this prediction, I was almost alone among traditionalist pundits, with some, such as Dick Morris (Mr. Batting Zero), actually forecasting a Mitt Romney landslide. And, no, I'm not pointing this out to numb despair with some perverse kind of gloating, like a man consumed in flames looking to suck on an ice cube. It's because of why I knew that Romney would lose: America is lost.

Comments: November 8, 2012: political victories from here on out may only be possible for socialists, especially after Obama cracks the Supreme Court and cements into place one-party state demographics. Our survival strategies, now focused on winning elections, must radically change.

Change is going to start in my home. It's really simple, that's where I go from here.
I have been blessed with great success for myself and my family. I plan to double those efforts, with enough money, gold and other assets, to protect my family when I am gone.
My business decisions will start to become political. What do i know about my vendors? I will find out the political backgrounds of any employee I plan to hire, and they will not know about it. Liberals, and the weak minded will not work for me.
Donations to any organization that has ties to abortion or "women's rights" will never happen again. Sorry Komen and others. You lose. Cry about your breasts and vaginas at another doorstep.
Yep, getting personal with my politics, because now it impacts my family. Now you are screwing with my friends' lives.
Don't like it, take your products and services down the road and sell it to a 47 percenter living off the government. See how far that will get you. Maybe he can pay you in pot.

Something funny about this. This should have gone like it did with Carter. Do people no longer care if a President lies or are they to stupid to see a lie? Could it be votes are missing?

The election has totally reversed my position on one thing: abortion.
I now want it performed as often as possible every time it's requested by any woman for any reason at all.
Consequently, most births will occur in intact two-parent conservative households which will not force everyone else to support an additional life-long indoctrinated liberal / communist who grows up to vote against the best interests of our country. That will be enormously less expensive in the long run. In the event that any complications of the procedure(s) result in the death of the mother or their inability to procreate in the future, that's just an added bonus.
After last night, I'm tempted to advocate for the above to be forced / mandatory, but I'm not quite there yet.
Harsh? No, survival.

It's heartening to find others who know that ''it's the culture, stupid'' and that further weakening our beliefs in order to ''win'' is not winning. OTOH, it is very disheartening to have to face the state America is in now.
The author calls it a dark winter. I think it corresponds to the Bible's ''great tribulation,'' and the woes to be endured will not be all man made.
Christians know that the spring season will come when we hear the trumpet sound announcing the Lord's return. Glen Beck advises moving to Oklahoma or Texas. Many of us are planning to move some place higher - soon. Keep looking up. Jesus spoke of a time when men's hearts would be failing them for fear. But then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. He tells us, ''And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.''

Two things...1) For those saying we should split the country, that is not only silly, but impractical. If you look at a map of California, for instance, you would see that more than half the counties are RED. The problem is the coast is where the population is greater and has more leftists. Even in populous blue counties, a third of the population is Republican. 2) I don't advocate war nor violence, but in other ways, we should be emulating our Founding Fathers when they were losing the Revolutionary War, were greatly outnumbered and fighting against the greatest military in the world then. They kept their cool & their resolve. They didn't give up or blame. They did what they HAD to do to make things right. And they sacrificed! These were men who had a LOT to lose too! They weren't poor farmers. They were mostly wealthy, well-educated, respected men with strong ties to England. But they knew they had to do what was right. That was more important than anything--even their lives. We must take action!

If you stay in the US there are several things I think should be done
1. Remove your children from public schools.If you live in a place where home schooling is not allowed or there is no private school available MOVE. If you have elderly parents who do not want to move from their liberal waste land leave them. Your children are the only hope of the nation value them more than your parents To quote one of the hard sayings of Jesus "Let the dead bury the dead"
2. Reduce your tax burden to ZERO donate enough money to a charity that you pay no income tax period. Let the rich liberals pay
3.If you live in dark blue state leave if at all possible. Declare bankruptcy if you have to get out from under a a bad mortgage. It is only going to get worse there
4. If you must stay in a blue state quit your job and sign up for welfare. Then spend your time educating people on why being dependent upon the government is a bad idea. Use the left's money against them
5. become self sufficient. The policies of the Obama administration ARE going to lead to hyper inflation. one or two acres, some basic garden tools a few chickens and couple of pigs will keep you from starving
6. Alternatively look at actually leaving the US.
7. Have no sympathy for people in Blue states or blue areas

Also, if you work in a dark blue suit, consider changing up once in awhile. A charcoal gray pinstripe is very appropriate for most occasions. If you have any relatives that are not sartorially savvy, shun them. Do not acknowledge them at church, synagogue or the Food Mart. If all else fails, have some kids...buy food for them, i.e. Gerbers. Eat it and make them watch you do it.

Knowing where we go from here is simple... merely look at Europe. Socialism has impoverished so they can no longer defend themselves... against Islam. Watch Obama's actions... several Mideastern countries handed over to the Muslim Brotherhood, plans to cut our military, "reaching out" to Muslims. He and Jarrett, the Dem Senate, and the unelected czars comprise "the worm in the apple." If we do not want to go there (sharia law), resistance and support of resisters must begin in earnest. We are not just facing socialism, but the "what next?"

It's not just "the demographics," it's the pervasive mindset of envy that exists among white people as well. Where did the missing McCain voters go? Many did not vote at all because of an extreme resentment of Mitt Romney. Admittedly, this is anecdotal, but I have met and many other family members have met people who just could not "like" Mitt Romney. Why? Apparently, the O people tapped into a deep vein of jealousy among whites as well as other "demos." BEing an honorable, courteous, generous, successful, faithful family man just doesn't cut it anymore in these United States.

With Obama getting re-elected,millions of people have blank slate futures,where nobody knows what's going to happen. Who's the happiest,the investment class that's cashing in on Bernake money or people at the bottom who love being retired from simply having children?
White population births are way down because they have to pay for their own kids. Meanwhile teen latino girls are having babies out the wahzoo.
We're being lectured by people saying we need to reach out these people when it's impossible to reach people who are getting a free ride and being offered a job instead.
Even if you concede that a lot of latinos are hard workers and they are for the most part,they're working under the table,not paying federal taxes and even sending money back out of the country.
If you make any proposals to change any of this stuff,you're beaten back by being called racist or whatever phobic people.
Arguably,the richest man in the world is a Mexican and he's somehow getting a cut of every Obamaphone.How did this happen? Despite being worth countless billions,he doesn't believe in charity because it makes people lazy.

Still, let's not underestimate the role stubborn, spiteful Christians who stayed home played, or the very probable tampering with votes by the Soros supported Spanish company that counted the votes.

"And we can't elect a better government when we've bred a worse people."
Remember when the "pill" was invented for women? Take a moment and think what kind of changes this created in our society.
Talk about "rights" in any manner you feel...and the word feel is presented for a very specific reason.
Note that one other word seems to be "in the closet" for some time now: "Responsiblity" is for who?

The red states get redder, and the blue states get bluer. We are two countries. The only way out is to go our separate ways. Otherwise, all that happens is the red states end up subsidizing the blues until there is nothing left for anyone.

My wife and I are devoted to 3 goals;
1) prepare for the pending economic meltdown (the ability to feed ourselves, always have water and protect ourselves and our property. Really bad times are coming
2) Prepare for the time when we can leave.
3) Get our 3 sons to get degrees/skills that can prepare them to live somewhere other than here.

The author is correct in identifying the ill effects of rationalization, and the role its played in the conservative movement since Bambi’s immaculation. I think a primary motivating factor for the Tea Party movement was the belief the silent majority that elected Reagan still existed, and it just needed education to awaken in the numbers required to boot Barack back to Hawaii. It is the shattering of that rationalization that has knocked us back on our heels.
Even if Romney did legitimately win (presuming probable dem fraud), it would have been a narrow victory that only enabled us to continue to rationalize that we were still a center-right nation. That band-aid got ripped off rudely, but its time for the wound to be exposed to the healing Light.
I believe now is the time to turn to God. Many tribulations and persecutions lie ahead. Only those who truthfully try to discern God’s Will through prayer and faith will be able to navigate what awaits us. Take care of yourself and yours in concert with your neighbor. Strengthen your church and your community. As St. Francis of Assisi said, “Preach the Gospel constantly. Use words when necessary.”

Besides illegal immigration, there are about one million legal immigrants entering the USA every year. Most of them come from socialist oriented third world countries. After they are here five years they qualify for what is in essence duel-nationality and US voting rights. Most of those people are natural liberal Democrat voters.
The liberal Democrats now want a massive amnesty for the up to 20 million illegal aliens who are here and for the legalized aliens to be put on "a path to citizenship" which is liberal Democrat code speak for eventually granting them duel-nationality and US voting rights. Most illegal aliens are poor people who earn low wages if they can even find full time employment, have limited educations, large families, and little or no bottom line tax liability and come from third world socialist oriented countries. The percentage of them who would register to vote would overwhelmingly be liberal Democrat voters. That's why the liberal Democrats are always supporting amnesty and oppose and sabotage all seemingly effective immigration law enforcement measures.
If the Republicans go along with any such amnesty they will be handing the liberal Democrats many millions of eventual new liberal Democrat voters and will be committing long-term political suicide.

It´s a perennial favorite of scammers to claim we face pending doom that can be averted only if we quickly send them more money or do what they want us to. From The Music Man´s "Ya Got Trouble" to the emails purporting to be from family members who´ve been robbed or imprisoned overseas, the game is a constant money maker for the con men who employ it. Count President Obama as one of the masters of the art of diverting attention from facts, crying doom and grabbing yet more money from our pockets to enrich his buddies

Let’s take a step back and recognize the breadth and width of the Obama administration’s assault on the US economy. We tend to divide ourselves along economic lines, upper, middle and lower or working class. It’s clear that Barack Obama has a plan for all three levels. If you’re a top earner, in his mind you’ve “made enough money” and should pay more in taxes. That’s his plan for the wealthy: Pay more taxes. This will take some money out of investments and companies and send it to the government. Some jobs will be either lost or aborted.

One of the least remarked upon aspects of President Obama’s inaugural speech was his attempt to co-opt the Founding Fathers’ Declaration of Independence to bolster his liberal-left agenda. Sure, the president quoted one of the most important sentences in world history: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” So far, so good.

In college I read a novel called The Last of the Just by André Schwarz-Bart inspired by a legend/theory from the Talmud — that there are thirty-six righteous souls (the Lamed Vav) in every generation whose existence justifies “the purpose of mankind” to God. From Wikipedia: As a mystical concept, the number 36 is even more intriguing. It is said that at all times there are 36 special people in the world, and that were it not for them, all of them, if even one of them was missing, the world would come to an end.

The 2008 and 2012 elections have revealed that an escalating number, perhaps a majority, of Americans are comfortable with the concept of transforming the United States into a Euro-Socialist democracy. While this may be easily sold to an increasingly ill-educated populace by those desirous of capturing political power, the reality is far different when it comes to the price to be paid. A price that is not only monetary but societal as well. Yet there is no party in this nation willing, regardless of the political cost

Last week, a book review appeared in the Wall Street Journal by South African journalist Rian Malan, a man from the Afrikaner family who ran the apartheid regime but broke with them and became an opponent of apartheid. Still, he was a journalist of integrity who did not hesitate to report on and to write about the dark side of the African liberation movement. His first book, My Traitor’s Heart, was an international bestseller in which Malan traced out his return from exile as he sought to learn the truth about his racist ancestors

Being just weeks away from reaching our debt ceiling and with frightening talk about a fiscal cliff, there´s much sympathy in Washington for tax increases. Even conservatives are wavering. A few Republicans have dumped their anti-tax pledges, and former Nixon official-turned-actor Ben Stein favors taxing the wealthy. He says that we can´t cut our way to a balanced budget and insists that the revenue end must be addressed. But I have news for him: he´ll have a better chance finding Ferris Bueller on his day off than he will locating fiscal sanity through tax increases.

White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
