GOD and the American people have chosen Barack Obama to be our next President! Surely we can all honor this verdict, and do what's best for our great country? As Lincoln spoke at another time of trial for our divided country--can we live "the better angels of our nature!"

If God and the American people chose him, then God chose the form of government that elected him. Under that form of governmnet, it is my duty as a citizen to do whatever I can within the constitution to oppose him where I believe he is on the wrong track.

Lincoln, who presided over the deaths of 650,000 Americans... Appropriate comparison to Obama, I di believe...

I can honor this verdict. I do wonder who President Obama is going to blame for the economy that he inherited this time... who is going to take the fall for Libya... who is going to take the fall when our medical system crashes? It's going to be a wild and interesting ride and I pray that our country survives.

I am praying against you, Momham. I pray this country collapses so that at least some of us can enjoy freedom. And the sooner, the better.

I will ask God why he allowed this, with no compunction about it, as a child would ask a loving parent.

Then secede. It is only right that the slighted should be free to cite the Declaratio of Independence, take his ball and go home.

And God Bless Texas!

America Is Two Countries, Not on Speaking Terms

You know who won the election (or whether we face another Florida 2000), and as I write I don't.

But whether Barack Obama is re-elected to a second term or Mitt Romney is elected the 45th president, the contours of their support during this fiercely fought campaign show that we live in Two Americas.

The culturally cohesive America of the 1950s that some of us remember, usually glossing over racial segregation and the civil rights movement, is no longer with us and hasn't been for some time.

That was an America of universal media, in which everyone watched one of three...
