Obama Wins!! (moderator supported thread)

*shakes head* Well I suppose not everyone values individuality and freedom as I do. To each their own opinion I suppose

That's true. Some people value individuality and freedom in different, more sensible ways.

Onion article title summarizes it well: "Nation Finally Shitty Enough To Make Social Progress."

(Oh, but it looks like Prop 8 might've passed. Way to fail, California.)

About damn time! At least McCain wasn't an ass in his speech.

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT. Fucking homophobes. I'm pissed (I live in San Diego, CA)

Well, let's put it this way: after two years of infant genocide, redistribution of wealth, a struggling economy, tax hikes for businesses, sucking up to Europe, China, and Iran, letting Iraq's government (and oil) burn, the persistance of radical Islam, and a general lack of cahones on Capitol Hill, the American people will put Republicans back in the majority in both houses of Congress. Then President Obama's goose will be cooked.

Fox news will now have all the fun that CNN and MSNBC have had for the last eight years.

There are dark days ahead, but Obama and the Democrats will end up paying for all the future misery.

Zing!

I'm not ashamed to say that I'm pleased with the results of this election-- due in no small part to the fact that I live in South Carolina and practically everyone I know supported McCain.

Ugh, disappointing. Obama winning makes me question America. *sigh*

The last eight years hasn't?

Yeah, I too am pretty wary of anyone who isn't questioning of his country when they begin, I dunno... torturing people?

infant genocide

Here's a little dramatization of your beliefs:

"Hey, look! It's an infant genocide right here in our own country! Innocent wittle babies are dying right now!"
"Shit! How do we stop it?"
"Why, it's easy. You just have to vote Republican every few years!"
"And... that's it? That's how we're going to stop the baby genocide that is happening right now?"
"Well, I guess we could also talk about it on the Internet."

(Same argument done more eloquently [http://slacktivist.typepad.com/slacktivist/2008/10/faith-and-works.html].)

Higher taxes equal better public services and better gun control means that people like you who perhaps might want to murder somebody or let every criminal murder people with guns. Murder rate in the US is way higher than pretty much everywhere that has good gun control. You think trying to lower murder rate is a bad thing?

People who like lower taxes are evidently those who just want it easy for the well of while letting the poor starve to death and not get a decent education etc. They are in general selfish pigs too, not just the people wo get handouts.

But some of us like to take care of our own lives rather then have a paternalistic government to take care of us from cradle to grave. People who are for lower taxes are generally for keeping more of what they make, and realize that wealth trickles down(generally)
And here in america no poor starve to death(there is Foodstamps WIC government housing, education is free, healthcare is almost free for many(medicare, tenncare,etc) I mean my god how much more can you ask for. In this country you are given every opportunity to make something of yourself. Why do we need even more government services (and higher taxes on me) just because people are to stupid or lazy to fend for themselves.

but its so fun!

And with the above post. I have to disagree more government is always better, just look at California and their amazing growth of industry.

 

[Brockyman]

Remember, remember the fifth of November. Not sure if he actually won on the Fifth but we should remember that date anyway.

Good for America.

Yeah...remember a terrorist attack... thats freakin great.... I hate the damned movie

I believe in small government in terms of making it easy for people to thrive, but big government regulation wise in terms of industry. Problem is, it's on the books that corporations can be considered "people". Something that needs to change since it's the ultimate loop hole. I am in favor of small government, once the population shows adequate ability to govern itself.

Because some of those services include schools. Which I don't know about you, but last year, in my county alone we had three close. Due to lack of funds.

Dang that sucks but we already spend according to the U.S. Department of Education, public schools spent $8,830 per child nationwide. IDk what you think but that's an ungodly amount of money to me. The local private school here in Knoxville tn Cost around 5k a year. So I don't think we need to increase taxes for education, just something needs reformed. When all my college classrooms have 30 computers in them we don't use, there can be cuts i'd say
