America's Unknown Future.

I think we are all in shock.

The media won. There is no accountability for the Democrats on any issue. They can run rampant. They never get indicted, sent to jail for corruption, election fraud, etc. Only Republicans are held accountable.

This kind of power in the wrong hands has led many countries to their destruction. We must continue to pray for America.

I think the shock has finally worn off for me. I'm not so certain that it was even really shock (because NOTHING shocks me anymore after this year) so much as mock horror and contempt for my fellow Americans turned sheeple.

Nobody really knows what the future holds, but I believe that over the course of the last 21 months, we have enough evidence to be able to speculate. With those facts in mind, it is time to start holding EVERYONE accountable for their actions by any means possible and to get our message out that tradionalism is the heart of this nation today, regardless of the fact that Obama is now Comrade in Chief.

Polls showed that people were doing "what was cool". They showed that people had more faith in McCain as a prepared and trusted leader, but people wanted to go against the grain and their gut.

This is obviously a time for reflection and yes PRAYER, but we have to remail optomistic about OUR ability as a movement and a PArty and do what is needed to regain the House and Senate. WE can do it ,we WILL do it.This financial meltdown may turn out to be a gift grom God in that Obama and Dems will be unable at first to implement thrir progtams in a first 100 days stampede. He will need move slow which give us TIME

It does seem the media can now win elections in this country.

We will see it all unfold, but there is no way to predict the future...We will know soon enough...

One thing is for sure, Bush is doing everything he can to make the transition a smooth and seamless transfer of power.

Hey Kev!

It will be clear pretty soon, I would guess, what is ahead for the country and the world, with this admin. Have you heard about the dem plan for taking everyone's 401K and putting it into SS?

If there is a future for America to return to conservative values in the future, there are some great new faces in the GOP, who will be rising in the party, like Jindal, for one. We could be in for massive growth in the GOP, if we see a fiasco unfold...

The world is watching...and only God knows what is ahead...

MAssive buyer's remorse may come. Sometimes its nice being on the outside. We do not have urgency of making decisions, they do. We don't have to fix economy - THSY do. We do not have to react to international crisis, THEY do and better get it right first time. There are no do-overs in the bug ligues! They wanted the ball so its all theirs

We will see if they really want to be bi-partisan and work with our side...and the way the economy is tanking since the election it doesn't look like they are the miraculous answer to our challenges that they have been portraying themselves to be.

I have a feeling it won't be long before the bloom is off the rose, the new president and everyone on the left will be at Pelosi's low poll ratings...

I have a feeling people will be missing "W".

Lets see - where is my check? If I heard one more person at the polling place or coming out of the polling place all excited because they were going to get help with everything from mortgages, cars, gas, food, college tuition, etc..I was going to pull my hair out. I guess it could have been worse. My relatives in PA said it was terrible listening to everything they were saying and what they getting. Also, now the African Americans are going to get what they have been owed. This was overheard in PA and also in CA.

By the way Pelosi got so many votes compared to her challenger. I wish that woman would get booted. That potato head thinks she has so much power.

I was not shocked that Obama won. I was shocked that Murtha got re-elected. I really thought that there was a chance he would go down and be sent home - FINALLY! But that did not happen. I am still shocked that Al Franken actually got votes and that race has not been called yet.

Al Franken...who would have thought people would be that empty headed, to vote for that guy.

I do hope all expectations of failure will not occur,and we will have a great admin that will keep our nation safe and free. I don't particularly want the mayhem that we are fearful of...

One thing is for sure, Bush is an amazing guy. His priorities have always been to keep America safe, and his transition plans show the class and steadfastness he has, trying to make sure the trasition for the new admin is smooth, for the nation's sake.

An island sounds nice.

By the way, is Franken winning in the recount? I keep getting conflicting stories about that election. I still can't believe the guy got that many votes.

I am hoping that the ones that voted for Obama and his free stuff do not getting really upset a year or two down the road because they are not getting what they voted for.

The last I heard, on Medved's show, was that somehow they "found" 100 more Franken votes with the wrong date on them...

I have a feeling this will wind up in court, due to the lying and cheating from Franken.

It is sad the left always has to cheat.

I still can't believe he got all of those votes. WTH? I really thought he was going to lose by a large number. Guess I was wrong! Really wrong.

I saw kids coming out of school and standing on the corners with "no on 8 signs". Since when do we brainwash the kids on this stuff?????

Before election day, there were tons of elementary school kids with "no on 8" signs. I also got stuck in a traffic jam last week. The police were called. The No's were on side and the Yes's were on the other.

They just keep protesting. Did you like the large crowd in San Diego? At least they handled themselves. Saw the one on the news tonight. Every day we are going to have one of these or two or three or four or five.

They really need to stop picketing the Mormon churches. They heading my way tomorrow. According to the polls, 70% of the African Americans voted "Yes on 8." I don't think they are all Mormon.

Gov Arnold

Reporting from Sacramento and Pasadena -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today expressed hope that the California Supreme Court would overturn Proposition 8, the ballot initiative that outlawed same-sex marriage. He also predicted that the 18,000 gay and lesbian couples who have already married would not be affected by the initiative.

Yeah, I guess the left simply doesn't believe in free elections decided by the people. It's how they always do things. They want to cram their agenda down our throats through liberal courts...

You're right they will not stop, the children are now brainwashed and who knows what the dems in the majority and the WH will do next.

I hope people on the right who are predicting that our new pres will govern to the center are correct...

And with the repub minority fighting back, maybe we can hold on to some semblance of what our country was founded on...

Btw, the protesters were at Saddleback Church yesterday...go figure...they already have domestic partner rights in Cal without passing prop 8. If the definition of marriage is changed, we will have an avalanche of lawsuits against churches for not recognizing the new definition.

Lovely.

Back in Septemeber I was on the bus on my way home from work and I was reading an Ann Coulter book, the girl across from me (we went to HS together actually) was reading an Al Franken book.

Awkward! But now I am completely justified in my previous opinion of her that she is a freakin lunatic.

People like her are a HUGE problem. She was always kind of a hippie and "damn the man" but Al Franken? Effing PLEASE!

I wanted to hit her in the head with my book. lol I get enough dirty looks from people as it is for my choice of reading material and the fact that I still have my "Coldest State, Hottest Governor. Sarah Palin for VP" button on my bag lol

the first time I ever saw her was in 2004. she was on tucker on msnbc. I was flipping channels and saw "coulter" at the bottom of the screen and i've read catherine coulter novels so i stayed on the channel. Boy was i off! she was explaining reasons why bill clinton is gay. I laughed my behind off and was hooked on her from that day forward.

I have to say that I am surprised with McCain. He should have come out when this started. If he comes out now, great, but I have lost a some respect for him. I know he served his country well, so no disrespect there, but come on and get there and stick up for her.

Did hear any of Arnold's comments? Yes, he wants to raise taxes. He is excited that the election is over, now he can get back in the bedroom and it is great. Gov Gaffetastic in the making!
