Topic: The "if Obama wins" thread

[AmericanPatriot]

I remember hearing the story of my granddad from 1932.
Apparently, he didn't get out of bed all day when FDR won.

That was a fundamental transformation.
But America was still recognizable

This proves that America and the idea of America are only nice ideas that are in the history books.
For now.
Until that has been completely eradicated

This sucks.  I didn't sleep well, not even the bourbon helped, I tossed and turned all damn night...wondering wtf is wrong with people, wondering how fast I can sell all my crap and not work, just hasten to collapse of this terminally diseased nation...

The "Free Shyt!" party is triumphant, we can expect full implementation of ObamaCare, higher taxes are a certainty, as are increased regulation in to every aspect of our personal and economic life, the debt will soar...that crying pussy Boehner might as well introduce legislation to raise the fricken debt ceiling to $100T and just let everybody spend like drunken maniacs and kill this sorry ass state.

Only fire can purify this contagion, and fire is coming, bank on it.

I had to buy small bottles of Jameson last night.  Liquor store was out of the bigger bottles.
I watched Blues Brothers with the kids- and sadly I am not as upset now as I was the day they upheld Obamacare. 
I guess I have gone trhough my stages of grief over the past few years and I have accepted it. Maybe its just that there is no more worry.  We now know.  Its scorthed earth socialism  from here on in, and History WILL play out as it has in the past.   Because of that we know what is coming. We know what we must do.  There is no more Hedging the bets, wondering if we were wrong, or  depending on false hopes.  However, do not think that  the country really went against us. The Democrats cheated. They always cheat.  In some places the cheating was blatant.  IN some places fewer Republicans voted than they did in the 2010 or 2008 elections.  Does anyone think that is possible.  They lie. They Cheat. They Steal. and they think they are clever because they do so. After all, its only wrong if there is a consequence, and there won't be with Holder Justice.

The only rational course is to Go Galt,  and the go on the Dole (if you can stomach it)  Why work when you can hike, fish, hunt, and spend time with your family and live nearly as well as you do now? Can't save for retirement?  You can't if you are working ether.   Can't take that trip to Europe? Did you really still want to go? The reason you rarely see mega-rich conservatives is because MOST of us decide  that we don't NEED that much.  We don't enjoy or want  the power. And while everyone point is different, after one has that first million or two in the bank, I think most decide that they  are comfortable enough and devote their attention to other things.

The only question is how many have reached that point where they understand further advancement is not possible, and how many others  Beck, Limbaugh, etc will encourage to muster on (because if we loose interest in the politics, they loose their jobs)  The movement might be massive.. lots of people moving IRAs, and taking cash out could even cause a  bank run..  I very well might take 10K out in cash today just because. . How many will close businesses, cut back on hours, or just stop working hard?  How many will pick up and move to NZ and other places? Capital flight is real, and there are no points of light to cling to now. There is no stopping them. They will try and stop the engine of the world and return us to poverty.


 

Yeah, I am not interested in soldiering on in some dumb herd to stupid to realize it is experiencing the end of the species as we know it, I am going elsewhere.  I just want to go into the woods and be left alone.  I am feeling totally disengaged, completely uninterested in the fate of those who brought us to this sorry state.

My grandfather survived FDR, not many will survive Obama, some choices have real consequences.

I'm also reassessing my charitable contributions. I don't want to give anything which may end up in some northeastern socialist hell hole. If I give something or assist someone, I'll hand it to someone directly.

I'm also seriously considering asking anyone doing work for me who they supported in the election. I'm not too keen to do business with obamaites. I don't care if it may be considered illegal.

I just walked outside to pay the lawn-guy - he's blowing the leaves now instead of mowing -- and he unloaded; "I'm so upset.  I'm usually a soft-spoken Southern man, but I, I just don't understand people.  Four more years of this; FOUR MORE YEARS.  I just don't understand people.  Fool me once, shame on me; fool me twice ....  I'm upset, my wife's upset, my two sons are upset, he's upset (gesturing at the young man working with him) and he's biracial!  He's more conservative than I am and he's always arguing with his family .... they're all liberals, y'know ....... I'm sorry, I'm sorry for unloading on y'all".

Gunsmith had come outside at some point, so he was standing there nodding.  I took the man's hand, and I couldn't help it, I just started to cry.

So sorry about your puss, 'Hawk.

I slept two hours last night.  I woke up and I felt like throwing up.

My dear youngest just asked me "should we go to Canada?"    she's trying hard to understand

[ToddF]

Tossed and turned myself most of the night, as I'm prone to do if upset with something, deep down.

I know, it's not very Christian of me, but we started a food drive Monday at work.  Bring something, wear jeans.  I brought Monday and Tuesday.  Today I'm not in jeans, nor will I be up to Thanksgiving.

Dear Leader provides all so why bother?

I think charitable giving will take a big hit.

Copy that, and I feel bad about it.  Surely, I have something for which to give thanks, I say to myself.

I woke up and I felt like throwing up.

I didn't feel like throwing up until the lawn-guy made me cry.  Now, it won't go away.  It probably doesn't help that the Left is everywhere crowing.  Gunsmith said, "yeah, that's what they do -- crow .... until they're the first to be lined up against the wall and shot".

saw a car cruising down the road yesterday with bumper sticker "I Heart Obamacare".  Car driven by old lady.  The first to suffer under Obamacare.  But she'll never know.......

My mom tells me she felt ill until a few hours ago and now she's ready to move on.

I guess I need to grieve a little longer.

We may be entering the new dark ages.
I think I will try to keep the embers of Liberty and Freedom going through my kids.
Talk more about what it's like.

Work on withdrawing from this society and interact with it as little as possible

Maybe this is time to re-read the Winter Soldier message

"These are the times that try men's souls.
 The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will,
in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country;
 but he that stands it now,
 deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
 Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered;
yet we have this consolation with us,
that the harder the conflict,
the more glorious the triumph.
 What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.
 Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods;
 and it would be strange indeed,
 if so celestial an article as Freedom
 should not be highly rated."

[Libertas]

Thomas Paine, another old dead white guy racist out-of-touch loser.  I guess I was born 200 years too late.   

As for what to do now...

I like the enclave model, it's worked for unassimilated immigrants, why not flip that around and create our own true conservative Founding principles enclaves?

I'll tell you what, if a liberty-loving state were to secede, I would be sprinting to it in a heartbeat!

Guess that's where my heart is......I may fight like hell 4 years from today, but now, I'm gonna focus on my family, be quiet, live as best I can, show as little sales as possible and stay in my own little world.

sounds like a good plan

Massachusetts voted for legal physician assisted suicide. That will dovetail nicely into Obamacare. And the next stop is physician mandated suicide. They're already doing it in Europe without calling it that.

Can't blame you for that.
For me, I'm on the hill I'll die on

As I was watching the returns last night at work on the computer, one thing that really struck me about the Pa map as it filled in.

Of Pa's 68 counties, maybe 8 were blue.
The whole rest of the friggin' state was red and still Romney  (and Tom Smith) got their asses handed to them

Did you get the election result you wanted, AP?

[AmericanPatriot]

No, Pan.
Really saw very little to have hope for.

I was always hard on Romney here but he was always better.
Far from good but a lot better.

Local guy, Tom Smith, ran for Senate and was trounced by the empty suit Bobby Casey.

Across the country, I saw mostly defeat.

Not sure of the final Senate numbers but I think we lost ground
If the House would do anything, they could go a long ways to save the country.

But they won't

[IronDioPriest]

...If the House would do anything, they could go a long ways to save the country.

But they won't

Hell, we could have Obama laughing on tape swearing allegiance to Vladimir Putin and promising to destroy the country, and the eunuchs in the House of Representatives wouldn't have the balls to impeach.
