Ok - so we are not all over the place, lets make this the place for the post election discussion.....
*************************************
Well, First off.... Much like after Y2K, I am glad to see that my computer still works. ;D
2nd I think I am going to fly my flag at half staff today because yes, America as we know it just died.
3rd Any guesses as to how long it takes for "In God we trust" to be replaced with "Yes we can"?
4th If you own a helmet, put on the damn helmet.
5th I really hope socialism works out for us. It doesnt have a really great history.
6th So now that he is President Elect, when is he gonna pay off my mortgage? And when is gas gonna be free?
7th It was 349-162.... that is a blood bath
8th I guess this is how Keith Doberman felt when Bush got reelected.
"So this is how Democracy dies..... to thunderous applause."

This election was way to close to call our Great Nation lost, but I will carry on with my priorities:
1. I will flaunt God and Jesus every chance I get in public issues to make sure they understand that our Nation was founded by Believers looking for a chance to freely worship and not be free from worship;
2. With the new group I feel they will just reinforce the right to kill the unborn innocent, so I will support groups to help bring those lives into the world and give them a loving and caring home;
3. I will work to strengthen our gun rights, and the bottom line will be when they pry my guns from my "cold dead hands" they will find my Bible in my pocket!
My problem is that when they start telling us they know better than us on how to spend our money and help the needy, how will I continue to give to others when the money has gone to the higher taxes they pledged not to raise.

Not really...... electoral vote was a huge margin, and the Pop vote was 52%-47% (about 6.5 million votes) ..... also a big margin by presidential election standards.

California has 16.1 million registered voters, so this margin is less than half of California's registered. And, California has registered a low percentage of their eligable voters.
Minnesota has 3.1 million registered voters.
In the scope of the United States population and registered voters, the huge number of 6.5 million really isn't that big. It is like talking about the National Budget. The numbers are so big it is hard to put in perspective.

Nothing to watch, a little reading, but very good message to remember today and always!

anything out side of AK...

I agree for the short term. Howver, I believe that if she works her way up the ranks, and doesn't screw it up, she has the capability of being a contender in the future.

Unless you LIKE double digit inflation and double digit unemployment you best be working your smug sounding "wet blanket" a$$ off to change that. Folks who have lost their jobs and 10+% of the value of their cash are not going to be hiring anyone to renovate the old house the may lose. Where does that leave you ?

Thats just it, her cherry has been popped... IF she were to say had another couple terms as the govener or in congress, Views of her would have been diffrent. Once your "type cast" its very hard to change peoples Views of you.

Do you really think anyone can fix the current econ with out drasticly changing the things?
Take this last election in CA as an example, we are broke, I mean 11 bill in the red this year broke... so what do the voters do? only pass every single bond measure that will cost this state almost 100% in intrest...
When the population does not care about how deep the goverment is in the hole, only that they keep getting "hand outs" things will never change.

I found this quote on Neal Boortz's web site, I listen to him just about every day while I am driving during the day. If you haven't heard of The Fair Tax, this is the guy who wrote the book with Rep. John Linder (who wrote and proposed the bill in Congress). Every time I read this, I can't help but shudder when I see how true this could be.
From Alexander Tyler. No, he wasn't writing about the United States. This quote is well over one hundred years old. Tyler was writing about the fall of the Athenian Republic.
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage."

No TAB I do not. Because what the economy needs most is for politicians to quit "fixing it" and making it "fairer", and that just WILL NOT happen. If you tied a politicians hands to keep his fingers out of things that don't need him , he (or she) would fu%#ing explode.
Hmmm, Remember that old movie "Scanners" ? Picture Chuck Schumer, his face starts turning red, then a little trickle of blood from his nose, BANG his head goes off like a grenade. ;D

2012, End of the world as we know it,Mayan calendar ends in 2012, calculations based on the Great Pyramid also indicate a date of 2012 (December and May respectively) every one we are having trouble with , or MIGHT have trouble with, or ISRAEL might have trouble with has nukes, we have LOTS of nukes, Israel has nukes. After the deluge God promised Noah that he would never destroy the world with water again, as sort of an after thought he says Next time it will be fire. Guess he did not want to get repetitive and bore us, or seem like a "one trick pony, "yeah, yeah, We've seen the flood thing already, don't you have any NEW material. We ARE looking for CHANGE you know.
Of course God has OTHER options besides just"Hardening the hearts of Rulers", He could take a direct hand and wallop us with an asteroid, it certain straightened out that dinosaur infestation , probably not a bad thing, can you imagine driving along the hiway, come around a corner and hit Brontosaurus turd in the left lane ?

That is a part of life and death I don't worry about. Got my plans worked out, or given to me, and will just take it as it happens.
