We had an historic election indeed. An election that would point the country in either the direction of dependency, or the direction of self-reliance. Simple as that.
My first reactions were anger and disappointment. The fact that 60 million Americans would vote for President Obama after the last four years with his economic record, with his personal track record, and with his presidential statistics was just infuriating. After the anger came a deep feeling of disappointment that the country was not going to be able to benefit from a Romney Administration. My view was that Governor Romney was precisely the type of presence we needed as a leader, as a President. Governor Romney is a fine and decent man with a humble and gracious approach to his life of faith, family, and business. The contrast of success between the two men is staggering.
The low level at which the Obama Administration and his campaign have taken the presidency brings out very strong emotions, and that 60 million Americans said “Ok, we can stick with that” … well, I guess you know how I feel. Angry and disappointed.
Then the sadness kicked in as I watched Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan on the stage with their families after the concession speech. You could see the disappointment on the faces of the candidates (especially Ryan) and their families. It was very difficult to watch, especially knowing that we most likely will not see Mitt Romney on stage again. America lost that privilege. America chose, and that is the game; that is the deal, and that is the law. We must accept it as conservatives, learn from it, and move on with the fight for what we believe in.
That is the resolve. That is what is needed, and that is what we must do. To walk away, throw our hands up, or give up would be as bad as voting for Barack Obama. We need resolve to go forward, learn from the mistakes made, and improve on what was done well. This country is the greatest country on earth, and that is because the people have always fought and not given up. The country needs a strong and motivated conservative force that will get the message across day by day, week by week, that the values and ideas we have are better for the country then the left’s.
That is what I have resolved to do. Starting with this post.

I say the elections should be done over, everyone with proper Voter ID, and all the reprogrammed democrat machines get trashed and go back to manual machines, they don’t make mistakes. and anyone caught trying to committ voter fraud, arrested and exiled from the U.S. forever
There’s proof now that Obozo stole the election. Go to: http://www.wnd.com/2012/11/did-voter-fraud-swing-election and read Joseph Farah’s proof of voter fraud He says that there is no doubt in his mind that voter fraud amongst the Demonrats stole the election. We really didn’t lose guys. These liars and cheaters in the Demonrat Party stole the election. Now, we should work for them to be brought to justice and punished. Nuff said.
I wasn’t just disappointed, I was in despair and still am when i allow myself to think about what was stolen, again. (Barry stole the nomination and the election with about the same amount of voter fraud in 2008).
I would love to bring these totalitarian freaks down but my question is HOW? The GOP needs to be the Grand New Party, or start a Conservative Party but with the RINOS of the ruling elite, I don’t see it happening.
It took us a generation to get to this third world dictatorship, it will take a generation to get out. I won’t live to see it.
So much of what many have said here is shared by that whole red part of the United States we saw glowing back at us on election night, and even in the blue states there is a lot of red there, they are just outnumbered. I am doing some homework now and reading as many commentaries that aren’t the mainstream and noticing a shift in direction toward the idea of the red states seceding from the union. Namely, it might be time to pick up our toys and go home. The response from the liberals would be we’re selfish and therefore couldn’t take our toys home, but the fact is if they have a right to change the rules of the constitutional game, then we have a right not to let them play with our toys that we brought in good faith. We would be fine without them, but they could not continue to nurse without mama dog. Something is happening in this country where those who didn’t realize how constitutionally oriented they are …are suddenly realizing they actually care quite a bit about our constitution’s principals. The reason being it is now hitting home. Liberals used to maintain a platform that played more fairly and were about causes which most people agreed with even if they didn’t agree with their government-heavy approach, but they have gone so far left, they have left America. Subsequently, if Obama and part of his administration aren’t implicated over the Benghazi shameful mess, and if this administration continues to compel self reliant types to support what actually amounts to enabling dependency, it’s like fingernails on a blackboard, they will have to yell, STOP, and they will find a way NOT to honor this.
The GOP is the only thing that has stood against Obama pushing our country into a total slide toward communism and a muslim state. Unfortunately, those getting their free cellphones and all kinds of government gifts have thought differently, wanting their freebies to continue, as they have. Interestingly when you look at the voting, you realize that the majority of the votes for a socialistic state come from large population centers where people don’t have the personal strength of self, their fears being in their own abilities to survive without the help of someone else, like the government, their only real friend. As well, they look to immigration of the poor so they can take advantage of them while at the same time creating a ruse on the self-sufficient Americans. And that inlcudes blacks who they have taken advantage of for decades. And they call these people progressives.
You can look to mid-America, where people are more self-sufficient and show the strength of their being able prosper based upon their own abilities, not worrying about the government to take care of them. They are one of the facets that made our country great, self-dependency and the resolve to prosper, without government intervention and without having the government making everyone equal in terms of their abilities and achievement. Tax the rich more so you can lessen their incentivize to achieve and innovate, and have more to spend on their socialist ways and bloodsuckers wanting still more
Amazing times we live in. Amazing. It wasn’t only the lady in Ohio that said: “I’m gonna vote for Obammmma cuz he gave me a cellphone.” It was also the 47 million food stamp giveaways, the welfare increases, the unemployment extensions, and the really BIG one was amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. Plus the O team the DOJ going after states to not allow the military absentee ballots wow wow wow. What about that plane that went up in flames and crashed carrying all those absentee ballots to Afghanistan or from there one or the other any way no mention of that anymore either. Then there were apparently 20,000,000 (20 million) Evangelicals that didn’t vote AGAIN. How sad is that? Very. So for anyone to say things about the Mitt Romney team messing up on who they forgot to entertain during their campaign well to me it is so dang obvious that “FREE STUFF” as Bill O’Reilly put it so well that “O” bought the people that didn’t understand that “WE THE PEOPLE” that have to work two or three part time jobs PAID FOR THAT DARN PHONE (a special fee for these phones get charged on everyone’s phone bills go look it is there whether it’s a land line or a cell phone), THEIR FOOD STAMPS, THEIR HEALTH CARE, THEIR RENT, AND THEIR DANG VOTES FOR “o”. There is NO way an incumbent no matter who he/she was or how wonderful he/she was could have won. Figure it out people. There was a little over 2 million vote difference this time, but last time in 2008 I think it was 10 million. I figured out that 2 million votes divided by the total number of states averaged out to be forty to fifty thousand votes per state plus the non existent military votes. PLUS the digital machines being calibrated that if one hits Romney’s name it would change to Obama. Now go figure that one out. This whole thing stinks to high Heaven. But, O’s buy off’s of votes worked. Now, when O is forced to turn off the benefits in January 2013 or before America goes over the financial cliff trust me there are going to be riots in the streets for sure??
Still hanging out there is Benghazi Gate…that’s coming on the Nov. 15th and not a day too soon either. It is a shame and a sham that Generals Ham and Petreues both lost their jobs. Gen Ham was 30 seconds away from pushing the button to save Ambassador Stevens and 24 others but his second in command put him under arrest and that was the end of that. Except for his “early” retirement. Now General Petreues has a whole set of new problems, one called an affair that ended months ago and the other is that apparently he informed people that the CIA did NOT tell anybody to stand down. Soooooo, all fingers point to POTUS. Wow that is a shocker….NOT. I wonder if one of two things could still happen here. 1. What if POTUS is given the option to resign for gun running from Libya to Turkey and then to Syria Muslim brotherhood, etc. or 2. take his chances to be charged with tyranny or treason or murder…his call. Then there’s still that Fast and Furious gun run to Mexico where a U.S. Border patrol agent was killed and hundreds of citizens in Mexico as well. It just keeps getting piled higher and deeper in my opinion. 3. The DNC has backed the POTUS who has not proved in writing that he is a “natural born citizen” under oath and showing originally certified documentation as well to back it up. Then #4 Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan could legally be the next sitting President and Vice President of these United States starting 01/20/2013. Wow what a thought, because POTUS would be M.I.A from D.C. again, now is he in Kenya or in Levanworth???. I wonder. God’s blessings for sure.
Sanvan, I could not think of anyone who could have summed it up as well as you did. Thanks, I was beginning to think there was no one out there who couldn’t see through all the deceit lies. Kudos!
I believe as our founding fathers did; that to move forward in whatever direction one might choose is to heed what was declared in the Declaration of Independence: to trust in God for “the rectitude of our intentions” which means that they recognized that without God’s blessing on their efforts they would not succeed. Most of our fathers had faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and so must we so that even those that do not believe will recieve the blessings of liberty “to ourselves and our posterity” even as God causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
