The Election: I cannot accept…

Every losing party seems to have it's extremes that think that their party loss means the loss of the nation. Those stupid enough to believe that their political ideology is the endall, beall of the universe deserve the heartburn.

In the case at hand, " the loss of the nation" refers to the ideas and ideals memorialized in the Declaration, and the Constitution.

Assuming that you've read both- and understood same- you cannot be foolish enough to think that the principles of progressive/liberal/Democrat elites in any way correspond to them.


In simple terms, one guarantees equality of opportunity, and private property....the other, equality of outcome and 'spreading the wealth.'


Wise up.

Wise up, yourself. You are the one acting like a bratty five year old. Americans chose a differant route than you like. Happens. And my nation will be here long after either of us, and doing well.

Are there many bratty five-year-old's who could have summed up our differences so succinctly?

"In simple terms, one guarantees equality of opportunity, and private property....the other, equality of outcome and 'spreading the wealth.'"


I support the former....you the latter.

These cannot co-exist....one must be banished by the other.
I mourn the passing of a great nation, and a step backwards in the advancement of human society.

You should know better.

I celebrate the equality of oppertunity that a leveling of wealth would give to all Americans. I reject Fascist ideologies that celebrate the 'Man' over all the citizens that daily work for their families and the good of the nation.
 
Let me give credit to the Alinsky designs, the vicious personal attacks, the lies that were supported by the media, the class warfare. A respectable, religious man, successful in business, who has demonstrated an ability to govern, attacked and sullied by a socialist raised by communists, steeped in 20 years in a Marxist church, a failure in economic policy as well as foreign policy….yet he proved that the more despicable the campaign, the more successful…

I always love the rightwing rants that are based on a premise that the right never engages in personal attacks.

There is no personal attack in the OP....merely a description.

1. Ann Applebaum of the Washington Post, has just written a book, “Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe.’ Said ‘crushing’ was based both on both the extreme violence of war, and the slow, ineluctable penetration of government into every aspect of the people’s existence. This is called totalitarian government...

Perhaps to understand your failure, you should take a look at your own philosophy and wonder:

If the Republican party didn't seem like such a bunch of crazy-assed conspiracy theorists, continually spouting absurd hyperbole, perhaps they would have attracted a larger voter base.

As it is, many of their chief proponents sound utterly insane to a good portion of the population...

and another good portion of the population simply think that they don't believe a word of their own crazy rants.
 
You know, I keep saying this in other threads, and I'll say it here now:

You are all over reacting. All of you.

Step back for a moment and look at the election as a whole. The incumbents for the most part won in nearly all the national offices. There were exceptions and random senators and congressmen unseated, but for the most part the larger picture was, incumbents win. Which they statistically do.

You all are freaking out about Obama winning, but keep in mind, the GOP held the House and most of the Democratic gains in the Senate had more to do with unvetted idiots being idiots and losing elections.

So the country absolutely did not give either party a ringing endorsement of their policy or dogmas, it simply re-elected gridlock.

If there's a larger lesson for the DNC to learn, it's a question of why their candidates seem to do well in larger scale elections (Senate and President) but fall apart on the more local level (House).

For the GOP, the lesson is how do you take what's working on the local level (House races), and make it work at the national level. Especially, how do you sell a Southern Conservative world view to a place like Massachusetts where one of the few incumbent GOP Senators lost.

For the American People, I think the larger lesson is how do we bridge the extremes in politics to get actual stuff done. The People clearly don't trust either party enough to trust them with control of Washington. Following 2000-2006 (GOP years) and 2008-2010 (DNC years) I can't say I'd trust either party either. So what happens next?

The biggest challenge facing out nation isn't the apocalyptic scenarios you all laid out. It's how we find compromise and what does that even look like now?

You might want to go check your numbers. The GOP only retained the House as a result of Gerrymandering Districts. The Democrats won the popular vote.
