Democracy beat the billionaires tonight. Go fuck yourselves superpacks. And most importantly, my Mia gets to have health care all her life.

If I had anything to be invested in American companies right now, I'd be sorely tempted to sell them all short. Or better, buy as many put options as I could find fools willing to sell them to me.

After all, whether I'm right or wrong, I still got the guvmint to wipe my ass and give me free hemorrhoid treatments. They'll just find new ways to tax DakotaT and all the other schmucks dumb enough to try to create real value by working for a living to support me.[sarcasm]

All the while sending their kids to private schools and getting boutique medical care so they don't have to stand in lines to get a throat culture taken.

Billionaires aren't going to be affected. Whether there's a Demolican or a Republocrat in office doesn't matter a bit to them. They're mobile and so are their funds. They'll just spend a few years living in Aruba and cabling a Liechtenstein private bank when they need a bit of petty cash to buy a few skyscrapers in Montevideo or Dubai.

The USA probably won't crash and burn during Obama's tenure. But I'd hate to be the useless asshole who gets elected to deal with the mess he leaves.






And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

when that happens the result is, the workers feel those hits. And when people are given health care where there is no chance that the can pay enough premiums to cover their expenses, the workers again are impacted.

Congratulations Barack Obama. The American people have spoken, undoubtedly. Such is our democracy. There's too much emphasis on the President anyway, imo. Either way, let's hope America continues to trend up, even if it's slowly.

The fact that you actually believe this stuff about Mitt (and I don't like him, mind you) proves that you, along with every other lefty out there, have slurped up every last drop of propaganda they pump out.

I like you Flep, but c'mon man.. That's like me making the accusations that Obama = Communist. And yes, I know I have made those accusations. And yes, they were tongue in cheek to get people riled up.

I find this thread extremely amusing.

No one around here cares about the Democrats or Republicans, because both sides are out of touch with what's going on, don't get anything done, don't represent your values and club baby seals to death with puppy bones, but somehow, this thread is the most active one since the religion and Favre threads we had going a couple of years back.

You guys care. Foster's most likely crying in a corner somewhere in his non-insulated room, Zombie has done a little white-man victory dance and Vikesrule finally got rid of that agonizing feeling of Viking fandom for a couple of minutes, cheering after an Obama victory.

I've read all the pieces and funny thing is, I probably agree with Foster the most. Europe's ENTIRE HISTORY has been genocide, racism, war, and violence. So now, they have a generation of effeminate men and suddenly, they get a free pass? I don't think so.

Yes, we have made mistakes, but we WALK ON WATER compared to Europe. Our two worst sins - the slave trade and what we did to the Native Americans, we got from Europe. Hell, England was still supplying slaves right up to the end and actually took the side of the South. I love how they conveniently forget that.

As for Romney/Obama, don't give a flying fuck. Both of them are pro-police state. Both of them are warmongers. Neither of them gives a damn about our Constitution and wouldn't know Freedom if it kicked them in the ding ding. Plus, both of them will spend us into oblivion. So pick your poison. You might as well vote for the guy with the wife with more fashion sense, because that's about how intelligent I see the Romney/Obama supporters.

Ironically, we do still call that our Golden Age, but you can't have everything.

If anything slams the US now, it's because you've been at peace for, what? A total of twenty years?

Personally, I don't care. If you feel like you have to bomb every country that looks at you funny, feel free to. I'm not slamming the US, at all. It's absolutely ridiculous to go with generalizations like that, making out the entirety of America for warmongering idiots, while half the people I know would like their country to just pull out of all foreign affairs.

I guess it's time to forgive the Germans, as well, as GermanGilbert makes some good points. It's just hard when every second German rides a bike they stole from us 70 years ago.

Congrats, man.
