You're not kidding.

We have family members that blasted us daily on how Obama is a Muslim and will convert the U.S. away as he is the anti-christ.

They are very angry now. Be interesting to see if they get over it.

Jesus has left the building.

Just don't bother to remind them he was never in the building bigoted religious hypocrisy built for them to preach hate and intolerance in, in the first place.

Sitting around in a congregation praying for self serving demands from GOD does not equal personal salvation and it is about 180 degrees away from it.

And do your family members still think Jesus was a white Aryan brother just like Santa Clause is?

And on that topic, religious types pretty much believe in Jesus like they did in Santa Clause as kids. Santa is the template for Christian religious indoctrination. Santa's watching you, Santa knows if you've been good or bad, just tell Santa what you want for CHRISTmas. This is all part of the brainwashing of children and making the way for Jesus. The problem is, the adults never outgrow the concept of Jesus, and it leaves most Christians in an infantile spiritual state before God, not an enlightened one.

God is either with you or He is not. God is either for you, or He is against you. Mankind and religions attempt to make God fit its preconceptions of what God is, solely based on social cultures and beliefs. This obvious fact alone proves the innate fallacy of all religions.

All religions are trying to enlighten a person spiritually, and yet the irony is that this can only truly come about after one casts off the preconceptions of what some one else thinks God is. Religions are only a starting point in this quest, not the end of it. Either God works the same way for all of us, or God does not exist for ANY of us. But good luck trying to convey that concept to some crazy religion brainwashed suicide bomber.

It was kind of sickening to watch McCain's defeat speech, though. McCain was fine, but his supporters booing Obama and yelling things out - it was just uncalled for. I think McCain is a pretty honorable guy and it weighed on him that his supporters were taking the defeat so badly - you could see the disappointment in him when he had to silence the crowd.

I guess you lived an isolated existence in your parents basement playing games to not have noticed what happened in the last 8 years.

Good luck with that uninformed and uneducated worldview. Thanks for sharing and stuff.

Well, I guess it's about time for you to go back to that basement now and play more games.

And thanks again for the opinion on Obama and the USA! Really!

WOW Peace at last. The economy will be fixed next month, the horrendous war will be over and we'll have free national healthcare and cheaper living as well as a complete 180 in world affairs and views and everyone will be much happier. I can finally buy a house and a car (maybe 2nd!) I'm so relieved.

I'm not really an Obama fan, but I say to at least give the guy a shot. I did vote for him though... mostly just so I could have this conversation:

Me: I hope Obama loses!
Someone: Why? Who'd you vote for?
Me: Obama
Someone: Wh... what?

It made for a good night :laugh:

I mean hell, I refused to vote for McCain because of Palin and my only options were voting for the commies (socialist workers) to say "I voted Commie in '08" There were people like Nader too, but what fun is it saying, "I voted for Nader." :eek:

I watched the McCain speech on MSNBC and I couldn't help but feel bad for the guy. He really should've been the Republican candidate in 2000, not Dubbya.

My only worry is just how far power shifted. The Senate might as well be filibuster proof considering some of the Republicans will basically vote with the Dems. I am not a fan of any party controlling everything.

The good (or bad depending on perspective) is that this means the Dems will 4 years of complete control to 'right the ship' so to speak. We should have a great indication very early on what they want to do and I do not want to hear any excuses from anyone that 4 years isn't enough. I'm a moderate and I vote based on past record and issues. Obama got my vote this year but he better make some good things happen fast if he wants it again 4 years from now.

democrat-majority congress in the last half, economic woes from policies originating part from Clinton's time and part far beyond (cannot remember which administration...), and some troubled policies from the Bush administration.
Hmm, our current troubles are FAR from something to blame republican's for, as you no doubt are attempting.

And that's the problem. No one is educated on the problems and their roots, just seeing the result of everything finally surfacing during the past 8 years, and blame the current republicans. Hmm, well that's convenient. Convenience and quick-fixes are all everyone is after these days, and what's the easiest thing to do? Blame republicans and basically hand government over to complete democrat control. Oh wonderful.
We're fucked if they actually try to do anything.

I seriously hope Obama honors the idea of working with McCain.
And I hope that the democrat-controlled government doesn't fuck up the country, but I'm doubtful of this being a positive few years, that's for certain. And yes, maybe a few policies will again take a decade or more to surface, and maybe they'll be beneficial. But at what cost now, and what policies will cost us in the long run? How much control is the government going to invest in what should be corporate-control of the economy and healthcare? How much is government going to expand in control in general? It most certainly won't shrink, that's for damn sure.
Sigh. Maybe this administration will piss off the small-government fans enough to finally get their act together and become a major factor in future partisan politics, maybe enough for Libertarians and Constitutionalists to become big players. Yes, I'm being extremely hopeful and a dreamer, but it's a goal that I hope is met someday. This country needs it, unless we want to basically reverse all the concepts this country was founded on.

I agree, that was the Mccain I liked 8 years ago. He gave a hell of a concession speech and it hurt to hear whoever the drunk fratboys were in the crowd that couldn't be solemn for 5 minutes.

I would have voted for Mccain over Gore in 2000, but never got the chance and after that election and what happened in the republican primary he was pitted against Bush. He bucked a few times, but shortly into the Bush presidency, the Republicans smacked Mccain down hard and made him make nice with Bush and behave. Mccain was never the same after that. He had to make too many concessions to stop the attacks from the far right of the party and the fundies.

When it came to his campaign it only got worse. He finally got to run for president and I don't feel like he got to make his run for it. He had to appease too many people on the far right, was forced by the RNC to flip on too many of his positions that most appealed to independents and ended up watered down.

You can't possibly be serious. The economy is cyclical and would bounce back regardless of who's sitting in The White House. Nothing is ever free, you will pay for nationalized healthcare...unless you're a deadbeat member of society suckling on the government teat.

And is thus why I voted for McCain, and is why I hate the dual-party politics. Too many people to please, too many trying to 'keep you in line', and forces issues to be merely opposites.
Would much rather a multi-party system, one in which McCain surely would have been in a different party.
And I do think McCain's actual actions would have been different from his spoken concepts. He had to please the GOP and maintain popularity, while trying to get his own thoughts on subjects accounted for as well. Very difficult, but once president, I can bet some of his ideas would have had some Dem's in agreement, and some Repub's.

On a different note, my biggest fear at the moment is Congress voting to completely pull out of Iraq and Afghan very soon. Bad idea, although we're nearing the point if progress is continually made. Pulling out now would be terrible and result in the loss of all the work that's been made. Media has simply fucked everything up, and bad management on the ground in the early years of the war didn't help. Don't subscribe to everything the media says as all that is happening in Iraq - the good things aren't full of blood and hatred, and don't get media attention. Can't get attention if it doesn't fuel the anti-war debate.

Sure, we all want the war to end, but on the right terms. I do think Obama, through the way he has addressed the topic, wants it to end well too, and likely won't be in favor of a hasty withdrawal. We'll see though.

I felt he was too far gone, and I do lean left so while I might have taken Mccain over Gore in 2000, I liked Obama. He's new, but he HAS to be his own president and part of that will be controlling the rest of the democratic party and not being controlled by it.

I think Iraq has calmed down, and we can pull out soon but the real challenge will be to get the Iraqi government to actually start doing something and I don't know what the solution will be there. I think he's then going to stay in Afghanistan and step up efforts there. He had to walk the line there, because a large part of the left has gotten so tired of first fighting not to go into Iraq and then to get an exit strategy that he had to stress that he would be getting us out. But I do feel and hope that he will be able to get it done in a responsible manner, or at least as responsibly as any politician can get something done.
