1. Good. I hope this eats them up from the inside.
Say it with me: President Barack Hussein Obama.

SCOREBOARD, motherfuckers.

4. Let's hope 8 years is just the beginning
Obama and the dawn of the Fourth Republic
Salon.com, by Michael Lind

Nov. 7, 2008 | WASHINGTON -- The election of Barack Obama to the presidency may signal more than the end of an era of Republican presidential dominance and conservative ideology. It may mark the beginning of a Fourth Republic of the United States.

(snip)
As I see it, to date there have been three American republics, each lasting 72 years (give or take a few years). The First Republic of the United States, assembled following the American Revolution, lasted from 1788 to 1860. The Second Republic, assembled following the Civil War and Reconstruction (that is, the Second American Revolution) lasted from 1860 to 1932. And the Third American Republic, assembled during the New Deal and the civil rights eras (the Third American Revolution), lasted from 1932 until 2004.

(snip)
Policy shifts, more than public opinion polls or election results, suggest that a truly transformative moment may be upon us. The first three American republics display a remarkably similar pattern. Their 72-year life span is divided into two 36-year periods (again, give or take a year -- this is not astrology). During the first 36-year period of a republic, ambitious nation-builders in the tradition of Alexander Hamilton strengthen the powers of the federal government and promote economic modernization. During the second 36-year phase of a republic, there is a Jeffersonian backlash, in favor of small government, small business and an older way of life. During the backlash era, Jeffersonians manage to modify, but never undo, the structure created by the Hamiltonians in the previous era.

(snip)
If this analysis is right, what causes these cycles of reform and backlash in American politics? I believe they are linked indirectly to stages of technological and economic development. Lincoln's Second American Republic marked a transition from an agrarian economy to one based on the technologies of the first industrial revolution -- coal-fired steam engines and railroads. Roosevelt's Third American Republic was built with the tools of the second industrial revolution -- electricity and internal combustion engines. It remains to be seen what energy sources -- nuclear? Solar? Clean coal? -- and what technologies -- nanotechnology? Photonics? Biotech-- will be the basis of the next American economy. (Note: I'm talking about the material, real-world manufacturing and utility economy, not the illusory "information economy" beloved of globalization enthusiasts in the 1990s, who pretended that deindustrialization by outsourcing was a higher state of industrialism.)

7. Especially when they get the bill for the past 8 years.
Of course they won't see it that way. They'll see it as "income redistribution". But the truth is we are ALL going to be paying for the war, the bailout and the tax breaks for the rich for years to come. It will just be harder on them because they've been told for so long that their tax money goes to pay others to sit around and watch Oprah that they believe it.

20. I'd like to see justice come to a few of them.
It's time to teach them a lesson.

9. I only hope they suffer as much agony...
Edited on Fri Nov-07-08 06:11 PM by Juniperx
As their horrid leader has caused others. I'm not even going to mention or type his name again, starting today. He is dead to me ever since I saw him puddle up and cry. Cry me a river, asshat!

10. I only *wish* this was as bad for them as Bush was for the left.
Edited on Fri Nov-07-08 06:13 PM by Marr
From day one, Bush made it clear that he was the President of right-wing America, and everyone else would be actively trod upon. Call me petty, but I wish the Freepers actually *were* about to get the same treatment for eight years. They deserve to have their paranoia validated.

12. The interesting thing is their emotional response to this loss.
I was disgusted, disheartened and downright disbelieving when Bush won again in 2004;
but some of these RWs are in a frenzied state of hate-filled rage---extremely poor losers.(scary)

14. I was in disbelief in '04... Still am.



I didn't think it was possible for the vote to even be close, considering his performance in the first term.
That's what makes me convinced there had to be a lot of election fraud taking place on a large scale.

13. I think they should organize a mass protest.
Then they can write all their grievances on colorful signs and march around with them.

15. I turned on rash lumpwad to listen to him whine
today and I laughed at his pain. It was a loud sarcastic, fuck you and the slug you rode in on kind of laugh. I enjoyed laughing at him, his idiot callers, and I am going to enjoy the fact that he and all his callers lives are going to be rip their hearts out miserable for at least 4 and probably 8 years. Every day I am going to laugh at them and enjoy it. Ha ha ha ha HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Bwwwahahahahahahahh, Hahahahahahah Lol You wingers can all just suck it up and obey your new President. I am going to enjoy typing President Obama with a capital "P" every time I type the name President Obama. It's been 8 years since I've typed President with a capital "P". He's your new Commander in Chief btw. You too Rush, how about that.
