Can anyone sum up this discussion between us? I say Bush's speech in Jan 01 was in the evening; he claims they are always early afternoon. Can't find anything online except Bush's acceptance speech....HELP..

Yep, it's always at noon eastern time. I'll be eating lunch, or rather throwing it up! We are in for a terrible four years. God help our country! Well, as the Israelites whined and whined for a King, God finally gave them one. Not the one He had wanted to, but they whined so long and hard He gave them what they asked for. King Saul. We have our King Saul being sworn in tomorrow.

Within 4 years the U.S. will quite possibly be in pieces.

Liberals think that everybody is going to be mixed race, the world is going ot be in peace, and we are all going to be singing "Give Peace a chance" in a giant drum circle that runs through France!

They are not smart enough to see the end is near!

Then you won't deserve whatever nation gets built up without your participation. But you surely should receive some of the blame. If you're going to be childish and pout because the world isn't going your way, the world will go somewhere else and leave you behind. Besides, all those crackers and dry ice cream will make you too large to fit through the exit door.

Well crap - I just dismantled and buried the huge old bomb shelter in our backyard this past summer. It was a LOT of work!

In other words, shame on him if he behaves like the Democrats have behaved the past 8 years!

You realize that socialism requires the complete overthrow of capitalism, don't you? Obama's election will move America somewhat leftward, but even then I don't think it'll be by a ton. Besides, if the GOP were so concerned about it, they should have thought of this before the election, you know, when they nearly made FDR blush with their spending habits.

So you think most Obama voters are bums and hippies? Hm...none of the Obama voters I met were in that group. In fact, most were upper middle class centrists. (well, maybe that one ex hippie lady I met....) In any case, I think America will do fine. It is much bigger and stronger than one man anyway. The country came out of the Clinton years okay.

And yes, we're closer to the end now than we were...yesterday

BTW I didn't vote for Obama, but I'm not convinced he's a socialist, and I'm still willing to give the guy a chance.
