Well agree to disagree in that case.

I won't stand for these ad homonym attacks

Anyone? Bueller? Where is CJ at? I need someone to pat me on the back.

Does anybody know what racism is?

Race has 2 meanings.
He used the word contrary to what you would think in the context of an election.
Hence the humor you may or may not find in that.

Not everything has to be offensive or taken seriously. I won't stand for these ad homonym attacks

most people have no idea what racism is.

plus obama isn't even black

I got his autograph on $1 bill Monday! Still waiting to hear what the flub ub was when he spoke in Convo!

I actually found his comment to be very clever when I read it and know it wasnt racist in the slightest bit...simply because I know him. However, when I read it I did think to myself "this will not end well" simply because of his name and know from experience that people hold comments from those bearing a last name to a higher standard than most. Not really fair but its what I've signed up for so that's life.

If only I had a dollar for every time Doc or some other admin would call my father or myself for something ignorant I said on here...let's just say this....I'd have enough money to buy Flamefans

in the aftermath of the election I've come to the following realization:

life in the US, as I've known it, is pretty much a thing of the past -and I need to get used to that.

it is what it is.

Evidently most people don't share my sense of values or work ethic, and there's nothing I can do to change that.

A pundit on ABC yesterday said it best: "Republicans are Madmen living in a Modern Family world and it just doesnt work anymore"

[PAmedic]

my observation of the ads in the days/weeks leading up to Tuesday was one party's approach amounted to: "Don't let the Repubs take away your stuff"

bottom line: fiscal conservancy will no longer win elections on a national level. It works in YOUR town where you don't want YOUR taxes raised, but not federally.

also, look at the electoral college map: Red carried the day in "flyover country" but your urban centers will always override that. Voting demographics in Philly were something like 90-10 in most races. Guess which way.

I feel the worst for my kids: their generation will never fully understand the concept that you can work hard and achieve anything in this country. Thanks to the ever-growing popularity of the whole "redistribution of wealth" concept (ie: socialism or better yet, "get even with 'em-ism") our capitalistic roots may be weeded out in another 50 years.

Interesting that the actual campaign went through the night feeling the exact way us shlubs with no inside knowledge felt.

"He was shellshocked," one adviser said of Romney.

Romney and his campaign had gone into the evening confident they had a good path to victory, for emotional and intellectual reasons. The huge and enthusiastic crowds in swing state after swing state in recent weeks - not only for Romney but also for Paul Ryan - bolstered what they believed intellectually: that Obama would not get the kind of turnout he had in 2008.

They thought intensity and enthusiasm were on their side this time - poll after poll showed Republicans were more motivated to vote than Democrats - and that would translate into votes for Romney.

There have been some really good post-election thoughts over at Triablogue. Actually encouraging if you're a conservative, helps you take a few deep breaths to ward off the panic.

Triablogue is an apologetics blog (they tend to focus on destroying atheist and Catholic reasoning), but they're great thinkers and analysts of all sorts of things.
