Well, It's official; I don't know anything.I thought for sure that given such a clear choice, Americans would vote for love of country over revenge.I was wrong.I thought, that just as every presidential election in my lifetime, the bad economy would be hung around the incumbent's neck, sinking him.I was wrong.I thought that even those few Americans who were fortunate enough to still be fully employed (not counting those leeching off the public system) would be cognizant of how much pain their neighbors were in and elect someone who would at least try to make improvements.I was wrong.I thought that now that FINALLY some of the disturbing truths about our first black president had come to light, voters would reject a man so dangerously at odds with the American experience.I was wrong.I thought the 2010 elections and the Tea Party meant something.I thought the enthusiasm on display at Romney/Ryan events, contrasted with the lack of same at Obama/Biden events meant something.I thought Americans would never sell their liberty for the sake of trinkets like cell phones or even big shiny lies like 'free health care'.I was wrong.Never in a million years would I have supposed that America would support a president who left his (our) people to die at the hands of our enemies overseas without lifting a hand to help, then lie about what he watched in real time for over two weeks, then lie about the lie for another month.I was wrong.I thought Americans could tell a hawk from a handsaw.I was wrong.We were offered the clearest choice we've has since 1980, where we had malaise and a misery index on one hand and a shining city on a hill on the other.  Back then, we chose the city on the hill.  This time the choice was between a man who says 7.9% unemployment and $4.00 gas is the new normal and a guy whose entire career has been about fixing broken entities.We chose to stay broken.  And Broke.Maybe I'm wrong about the ramifications of this choice.  Maybe windmills will actually turn out to be a viable energy source.  Maybe America diminished will be loved overseas.  Maybe a nuclear Iran won't be a threat.  Maybe Israel is over reacting. Maybe western civilization was always over rated. Maybe life under sharia is fun.  Maybe when the rest of the world realizes that we have no intention of ever paying back that $16,000,000,000,000.00 (and counting) that we've borrowed from them, they won't devalue the dollar, causing hyper inflation here at home.  Maybe China will just keep on giving us money and not demand our hearts, souls, national monuments and marriageable daughters as payment.  I've watched my candidate lose elections before but I've never felt the way I did last night when this one was called for Obama.It wasn't bitterness or sadness or even disappointment.  It took me a while to figure out what it was.  Then it hit me; it was horror.Pure, unadulterated horror.Not because of Obama, but because of what it says about us, the American people, that we chose this.It shouldn't have even been close.  Faced with the choice between taking charge of our destiny and tackling our financial problems, we opted to get high and have sex. We re elected a guy who doesn't understand that a growing economy that creates more tax payers will bring in more revenue than higher taxes.  A Commander in Chief who doesn't know our military still uses bayonets. A man who wants to control the economy without even knowing the difference between bankruptcy and liquidation.  It was one thing to elect an unknown quantity, buying his line of 'Hope and Change'.  It's something else to deliberately choose his failed policies over someone who has actually achieved success in life.  I never dreamed America would do that. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, Hello Idiocracy!Goodbye, recovery.Goodbye, energy independence.Goodbye, religious liberty.Goodbye, liberty and justice for all.Goodbye, America dream.It profits a man nothing to lose his soul for the whole world but we threw ours away for cell phones and birth control pills.In the twentieth century (the American Century), we stepped up to the plate three times and saved the rest of the world from fascism, nazism and communism.  We were the cavalry, always riding to the rescue.Now, we've gotten rid of our horses, spent all our money on windmills, alienated our allies, bowed to our enemies, cut ourselves off from our own natural resources, thrown away our children's birthright and spent their inheritance.And we did it on purpose.When the wolf is at the door (and he's coming, yelling 'Allahu Akbar') we're going to find out that there is no one out there to come to our rescue.On the bright side, maybe it'll all turn out great.  After all, I don't know anything.

Bla bla bla. Mitt Romney is a crook & offered nothing of substance, nor was he likeable or believable. That is why we voted against him. Obama was not the best choice but we had no other choice because of a corrupt election process. Get over it. The Republican party is so disconnected, they had no idea how stupid their campaign really made them seem.

WE THE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DUPED AGAIN....WHEN YOU HAVE RIGGED ELECTIONS AND YOUR VOTE DOES NOT COUNT, HOW COULD ANYONE WRITE THIS WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?? THE TRUTH IS MOST PEOPLE JUST PLAIN DO NOT HAVE TIME TO SIT DOWN AND LEARN ANYTHING. THEY ARE TOO BUSY RUNNING AROUND CHASING THE OPPOSITE SEX, GOING TO MOVIES OR SPORTING EVENTS. I SPEAK TO YOUNG FOLKS EVERYDAY AND 95% OF THEM LOOK AT YOU LIKE WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ON ABOUT. I CAN FOR INSTANCE, SHOW THEM SEVERAL PLANES LAYING DOWN CHEMTRAILS AND THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE EVEN WHEN YOU GIVE THEM LINKS TO GO READ... IT IS TRULY PATHETIC... FORGET THE MILITARY SAVING OUR BUTTS. WE NEED TO GET UP AS MANY MILITIAS AS NECESSARY TO ARREST O AND ALL THE BAD ASS SOBS IN THE DISTRICT OF CRIMINALS... IF I WAS YOUNGER AND IN BETTER HEALTH I WOULD BE LEADING A MILITIA TO DO SO ..... WE CANNOT KEEP LETTING THE SWEET TALKING PROGRAM HOSTS CON US TO STAND DOWN ANY LONGER. WE ARE ON THE TRACKS THE TRAIN IS COMING AND WE NEED TO DERAIL IT.

Amazing that ANY American would even BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE A VOTE when the votes are switched on them right before their eyes and before the buttons are even pushed to record their 'votes'! And when there are only 2 candidates that are ALLOWED to be in the 'race' and BOTH WORK FOR TWO OF THE MOST EVIL CRIME SYNDICATES in the world. And when things only get MUCH WORSE for ALL Americans no matter which candidate is put in to the office. And when Americans continue to REFUSE to recognize that this is NOT their true government but a CRIMINAL CRIME SYNDICATE that is so intent on TOTALLY DESTROYING THIS NATION AND ALL AMERICANS IN THE PROCESS. And that this CRIME SYNDICATE is so deep in graft and so AGAINST ALL THAT THIS NATION ONCE STOOD FOR, and which continues to bury themselves deeper in lies to cover-up. And those who come to America and those who ARE Americans who continue to live off you and me to get toys while the rest of us are losing the shirts off our backs in the process..and I am NOT referring here to those AMERICANS that are TRULY IN NEED and those who are receiving back only a TINY portion of funds that have been STOLEN FROM THEIR PAY FOR MANY YEARS and are receiving a portion back, such as social security or medicare. Sad as it is Americans are about to reap their 'reward' for allowing all of the graft to continue while they look the other way, which is saying that they don't care unless and until it affects THEM, AND THAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN IN A HUGE WAY.

This poor guy has been drinking the cool aid, believing that the UNITED STATES is a country and the constitution applies to its governance; maybe even putting something in his cool aid. He's been buying the main stream media bull shit hook line and sinker. He is living on fear porn and trying to spread it on to other ignorant souls who actually believe that the UNITED STATES is a country and that they have constitutional rights. The good news is that Romney lost! If he had won, we would probably be starting world war III sometime in January of 2013. And of course it would be because of some false flag operation pointing to them attacking us, in some way or another. Whoever wrote this piece needs to take a few deep breaths and get over it!

When in the hell are you sheeple going to wake the f--- up?
No other choice? The better of the 2 evils?

No one won any election if u want to call it that. Just as it has been for generations. ALL BY DESIGN.
The political parties are nothing more then a diversion of deceit and illusion both wings flappin the same bird. You are getting the regime you deserve. You are the text book example of the frog in the pot.
The real danger in this country are the ignorant apathetic sheeple.

"A nation of well educated men who have been taught to understand and cherish their God given rights cannot be enslaved. It is through the regions of ignorance and apathy that tyranny prevails.”

"When fascism came to America - it was wrapped in the flag and carrying
a cross" --- Sinclair Lewis

"What luck for the rulers that men do not think."
-Adolf Hitler

Now the EPA makes requirements that the dirt that collects on your car is a DEADLY TOXIN, just as Obama declares CARBON DIOXIDE, what you exhale and plants inhale is a DEADLY TOXIN, to collect numorous penalties!

San Diego Residents Face 6 Years In Prison For Washing Their Car
http://www.infowars.com/san-diegans-face-6-years-in-prison-for-washing-their-car/

"San Diegans could face 6 years in prison and fines of $100,000 dollars a day for washing their car in the driveway or failing to pick up dog poop under new EPA-mandated environmental regulations related to water quality.

Although residents of the city are forced to drink toxic waste in their water supply in the form of sodium fluoride, measures imposed as a consequence of the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Water Act would turn the most mundane of activities into a criminal offense."
