| Last Tuesday evening I went to bed in denial, thinking that there must be some mistake. I declined to believe that a majority of the voters were stupid enough to re-elect a President whose incompetence makes Jimmy Carter seem Washingtonian by comparison, whose mendacity far surpasses that of a pathological liar like Bill Clinton, and whose administration is so corrupt that it actually evokes nostalgia for the Nixon era. (Snip) On Wednesday, forced to face the grim reality of the election results, I became angry. My seething thoughts turned first to the “news” media.

I´m making plans as these libs celebrate. Massive voter fraud and all we can do is shrug our shoulders. The corruption we´ve seen is only the tip of the iceberg. I wonder how long the money will last before the looting starts?

I agree, #2. We´ll never walk it back, but we can gather our spirits up and realize we have a bigger fight now than we had in 2009 and 2010. And we did pretty darn well in 2010 (except for Harry Reid, that is.... this one´s personal to me!).
Of course, one thing we CAN´T do, that the Democrat/Progressives are so good at, is pay our side to stay on our side. We could, actually, but that goes against everything we say we´re for.
I´ve been through these grief stages at least twice since election night, and I´m back at despondency currently. I was all up in FIGHT for 2 days immediately after, but I keep thinking..... what´s the point.
We are still HALF the country - if not more. We just don´t cheat and steal. We need to start fighting for our country on the same level they are fighting to destroy it.

We must never give up. Never, never, never, never, never. (Thanks, Winston Churchill).
Fight for our republic. And ask God to help us reclaim it. Let us be the country God intended us to be. If we are part of something that God is blessing, and they are working for the destruction of good things (such as Christianity) we will win. Eventually.

Either we still control the house or we don´t.
Either all funding originates in the house or it doesn´t.
Which is it ?
We should be able to hamstring this government and hope they don´t like it.

A pretty good article. However, I don´t agree with his assertion that Romney was a weak candidate. Over the past week or so, I´ve come to the conclusion that a campaign of ideas isn´t going to work anymore. Which is a testament to the idiocy of our voting public that prefers MTV & Dancing with the Stars, rather than developing their intellect.
What does that leave us for the future? The only way a campaign of ideas like Romney ran is going to sell, is to sugar-coat it or wrap it in a pretty package. The only other alternative would be to adopt Obama´s tactic of presenting no ideas, but demonize the opponent and divide their base. Without the help of the media, that doesn´t seem likely for the GOP.

There seems to be a pattern to Presidencies these days. Democrat alternates with Republican. Each President is given two terms unless the public perceive there to be extaordinary circumstances that warrant his removal after just one term. I don´t think it´s worthwhile wallowing in grief about it. Wallowing is a form of self-indulegence and doesn´t achieve anything.

Right now I´m in the "mad as hell" stage, and I´m not going to get over it. On the Lightworker´s Inauguration day, I will display my American flag with black crepe draped around it. I am also putting an empty chair, a flag, and more black crepe around it.
I live in a small neighborhood and I have two neighbors I like, but I think they probably voted for Obama, as did several others in the neighborhood. We have two sets of doctors (husband and wife) - all 4 are black, and a white person who is a cancer specialist from New York City in our hood.
We all get along beautifully, but I need to do something to show my displeasure. Hell I´m 70 and about to turn 71. If I have a brain bleed, I´ve just read, doctors can´t treat the problem - just make me comfortable, according to the death panel regulation!
We need to look forward (I hate that word) to 2014. Hopefully we can generate enough disgust that by 9/12/2013 we can have another March on Washington of a million plus people as we did on 9/12/2009 and do it again in 2014. We must show our disgust every time Obama does something unConstitutional.

As I posted on another thread, I believe this happened for the best. Obama would not have been gracious in defeat. He would have exhorted his minions to burn this country to the ground. If Romney & Ryan had won, and I am not so sure they really lost, we would have paid for 100 years at least for the victory.

Romney did not lose. The election was stolen from him. Chrissy said ´thank god for Sandy´ and the night following the election, Hannity said ´the media in this country is dead.´ It wasn´t too hard to add them up and get what happened.
All the media conspired to call the election for O by the 10 o´clock news. Then it was back to regular programming. I might be more enraged if I didn´t think Rove and Romney sort of deserved this. They chose the voters they wanted and it wasn´t those who listen to Rush or belong to the Tea Party. This was their fault as much as anything.

Good Article. After reading many election fallout articles I believe the best overall explanation is Our Lord´s words.. " The children of darkness are wiser in their own generation than the children of light" Obama is a big success at being destructive and uses every weakness in the population very effectively to retain power. Others who would end the destruction are too trusting and not real leaders. Romney was a good man but not a perfect leader. Where is the leader that could clean up this mess? It was not Romney, is there anyone in his right mind who would try and inherit this mess? The next candidate should be one who will articulate the situation clearly fully expecting to be defeated by the opponents wishful thinking!

I agree with David to a degree, however it still doesn´t explain the fact of why half of the population voted for a candidate (BO) whose record and corrupt admin should have been easily defeated and thrown out of office no matter who the challenger was (massive voter fraud maybe). We have raised at least two generations of a functionally illiterate population/electorate. Critical thinking doesn´t exist and we have a society of entitlement seekers...that said we are now on the road to the USA of Greece! In the end we the people could have stopped this skid into deep socialism, however a little over half of us were suckered into another four years of movement in a backward direction and changes that in the long run will not pan out the way that this half thinks that it will...bottom line (dollars and cents reallity coming for those in the entitlement half) is sooner or later you have to pay the piper!

I hate to be so negative but I believe that this country will never be what it once was. Many of our young people have been poisoned by the media and brainwashed by the educational system. A fair number of our politicians are corrupt. They go to Washington to line their pockets and acquire pension and health benefits most of us can only dream of. Not to mention the crony capitalism that has made them wealthy far beyond their ability to earn it. The work ethic that fueled our economy is lost. Religion has been mocked and ridiculed. Our society is profane to the point that any behavior is tolerated. Can we come back from this? I believe we had our chance on November 6th. We have to face the fact that actions have consequences and we will not be exempt. I am not a maudlin person but I can recognize the truth when I see it. Economic experts have been telling us the economy will collapse if we continue down the road of big government and more spending. The future looks grim and I loathe the voters who sold their freedom so cheaply. Guess I am at the resigned but still angry phase.

Pre Ordained, the only way out now is total collapse of the federal system.
It will happen down the road, prepare your selves and your families for the future.
The young in our society are not prepared for survival, the death and destruction will be unprecedented, the longing for freedom will overshadow the desire for material things, and the circle will come full.

And that´s the kind of voter the Republican Party was stuck with. I don´t see any fix for it and will put the question aside until sometime next year. Shame on us.

If America were a bus, Deneen Borelli would be the new Rosa Parks. Borelli is the very model of a human being, an African American and a woman who is just plain tired up to here at all of the back of the bus treatment dished by liberals — black and white alike — to conservatives who happen to be black. Ms. Borelli has in a figurative sense, as Rosa Parks did in the original and literal sense, sat down in a seat reserved for liberals at the front of the American bus.

The impending policies of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will affect individual farmers and their employees. There are an estimated 600,000 crop workers and roughly 20,000 livestock workers in California at a given time. For every job in farming, the industry creates two to three nonfarming jobs. It´s an industry that should thrive in California, where the climate is kind.(Snip)"There´s nothing affordable about the Affordable Care Act," Tom Nassif said to us; he´s president and CEO of Western Growers, an advocacy group representing area and regional family farmers in Arizona and California.

A country that stakes its future on lies will not have one. The fashionable lie of the moment is “gay marriage.” The push to deprive children of mothers and fathers for the sake of “genderless” marriage has never been stronger. The media propaganda about its “inevitability” is unremitting. One would think, judging by all the triumphant rhetoric heard this week, that over 30 states had approved it. In fact, over 30 states have banned it. According to the Washington Post, which just a few weeks ago was categorizing Christians as racists, the issue is all settled and done.

It was bad enough for the Obama administration to earn an overall grade of C-minus on its level of transparency from the independent watchdog group Cause of Action. When coupled with evidence of what is being hidden, the information makes the administration look even worse. Cause of Action uses requests under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), lawsuits, and other tools to expose what it calls “job-killing federal government regulations, waste, fraud, and cronyism.” As has been reported by Caroline May at the Daily Caller and others, the organization last week issued a report called “Grading the Government,”

Want to know if Republicans finally back immigration reform, stand a chance of picking up Senate seats in the midterms, or get their act together by 2016? Instead of the GOP, watch the Rubio-Paul Party. Forget John Boehner. Ignore Karl Rove. The real action in the GOP is coming from the newest wing of the party, the one born in the spring of 2009 - the offspring of Tea Party activists that almost single-handedly propelled Republicans to control of the House.

The weasels who wrote the Obama health law postponed the pain until after the 2012 presidential election. Popular provisions were put into effect immediately, such as allowing children to stay on their parent’s plan until age 26, offering “free” colonoscopies and mammograms (in truth, forcing you to pay for them in your premium, whether you get them or not), and giving women the thrill of getting contraceptives at the drugstore without paying anything. The White House also granted 1,472 waivers to certain companies and unions exempting them from insurance reforms

This may sound odd coming from someone who has spent his life working in political reporting, but I find it extremely sad when people can’t separate politics from the rest of their lives. I’m not talking about people getting worked up about politicians; we live in divided times, so things are bound to get heated when talking about elected officials. I’m talking about people who say “I want nothing to do with [Person X] because he is a conservative/liberal/Republican/Democrat in his personal life.” This is why I find the Orson Scott Card thing so frustrating.

Last week, President Obama told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that “we don’t have an immediate crisis in terms of debt.” It was par for the course (after all, he is almost always golfing) for the nation’s chief executive who just last year did not know the amount of our nation’s debt and made the preposterously naive statement that “a lot of it we owe to ourselves.” Apparently, our coming debt crisis is the only one Democrats do want to go to waste.

If President Obama’s rhetoric on domestic policy can be said to have a coherent theme, it involves his desire to use government to create a level playing field in which no single segment of the electorate enjoys unfair advantages or suffers disproportionate disadvantages in the pursuit of happiness. He is particularly concerned, he tells us, that the “rich” pay their fair share while poor and minority Americans receive their just due. Somehow, though, every policy decision made by his administration seems to tilt the playing field against the latter.

Celebrities are now upset about fracking, the injection of chemicals into the ground to crack rocks to release oil and gas. With everyone saying they want alternatives to foreign oil, I´d think celebrities would love fracking. I´d be wrong. Lady Gaga, Yoko Ono and their group, Artists Against Fracking, don´t feel the love. Yoko sang, "Don´t frack me!" on TV. Stopping fracking is the latest cause of the silly people. They succeeded in getting scientifically ignorant politicians to ban fracking in New York, Maryland and Vermont. Hollywood gave an Oscar to "Gasland," a documentary that suggests fracking

Staffers for Sen. Dean Heller have been bullying other senators’ aides to protect the Nevada Republican’s space in the Russell Senate Office Building, CQ Roll Call has learned. As part of the biennial Senate office lottery, junior members are obligated to show their office suites to more senior members, who then have 24 hours to decide whether to claim that space as their own. Heller’s office suite — which he inherited after the scandal-fueled resignation of Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev. — may be particularly attractive to other senators because its floor plan includes a larger-than-average member office.

Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Through an attorney, Stutzman declined to change her position.“As Attorney General, it is my job to enforce the laws of the state of Washington,” said Ferguson. “Under the Consumer Protection Act, it is unlawful to discriminate
