And the stock market continues its fall into nothingness
Anyone who thinks that the Market's fall is due to anything outside of Obama's election, really needs to look at reality.
And, as an aside, I'm curious as to what defines a 'rich person' for you all?

Congratulations to President-elect Barack Obama
As our great country, the United States of America, has managed to do every 4 years for over two centuries, we have once again elected the next President of the United States. Even more importantly is the fact that we elected an African-American man less than 50 years after Jim Crow laws were in force. This is a very good thing. We are not a racist country, and I believe that has been true for quite awhile. This just proves it.
I hope and pray that those of us who are in the loyal opposition will not stoop to the lows of those on the Left after President Bush won his elections. I hope there will be no such thing as Obama Derangement Syndrome among the Right.
I pray that we, unlike many Democrats in the past 8 years, will pray for and support Barrack Obama's presidency. Mind you, that does not mean we should support all of his policies. But we must support his presidency. I don't ever want to hear anyone in this country comparing Obama with Hitler or wishing him anything but a long and healthy life.
The left has treated President Bush shamefully for too long. I believe that those of us on the Right can be good examples to the rest of the country on how to properly respect a President even while disagreeing with him or her.
Obama has a lot to learn about America. He is too focused on big city politics. He will have to give respect to those of us in rural areas, and he needs to do that quickly by assuring us that he will not look to remove our 2nd Amendment and 1st Amendment rights.
I have to get ready to drive to KMBZ Radio this morning to talk about the election results. You can listen on-line if you like. I'll be on from 8 am Central to 9 am Central with two other folks who are faithful listeners to the Morning Show on KMBZ.

Interesting thoughts from a Polish friend
My photographer friend, Jordan, sent me this email tonight:
Dear Beth.,I keep my ′fingers crossed for America - in so important day
how it will look America for several hours ? I reflect . I do not know which choice will make americans. On its own manner every choice will be good. Because this is the democratic choice - and free election this is a holiday of the democracy. But , in a way , dead me which polarization followed. Just OK , such rights of the democracy. But is still another thing which gets on my nerves lately . The lack of the objectivism of media. They made their own hero the only one person. And where I will not look - there He is.. I open the newspaper - only about Him , open TV set - He, I am going with the street - I see his posters - even I approach to the refrigerator - I see his label. I already fear this refrigerator to open - because I seem that soon he will jump out. It is some madness and the madness. My starting page ,at my PC is Yahoo.com - whether I do not want, I begin the day from crying titles with their hero name, as not He - it is his family.- funny little bit .. .
tell me how you live these hours of elections ? How opinions your nearest environment? I am very interested.
. Of course I am working with my photography - I must even boast that last week Prime Minister of Poland bought from me 10 large sizes of photos ( the second time - as year before too).
I run to the television set that to check last results ! - if all they voted so as in
kentucky ....
I wrote Jordan for his permission to post his email - in reply, he said, in reply to a comment I made about Obama's pro-abortion/anti-life stance and also my fears of socialism
:
yes, its a problem ., but you know , Obama wants to be a kind of "flowers child" of revolution of 60' - but problem is that he did not notice that flowers in the vase sear long long ago ago - its other time , other days .. and main problem that Obama is only an instrument in other , what a paradox,rich people hands.( see his election money and great praises of Soros for example ... anyway Soros its a VERY interesting person - I would be very interesting about his role in last finance crisis - and how much money he earned..- he has a g o o d experience - he almost did not bring with speculations to the bankruptcy greatest financial institutions of United Kingdom few years ago...)
And, his last words, in regards to communism:
the socialist redistribution came true nowhere - and will not come true in america
Sometimes, I think our friends in other countries see the USA with better understanding than many of our own citizens. Especially those from former Communist Block countries.
Thanks, Jordan. I love hearing from you!

If you enjoy the food choices we have here in the USA
Do NOT vote for BHO. Obama wants to change the way farming works. Yes, a guy who has lived in cities thinks he knows the way to make American Agriculture - which grows food that feeds the world - better. Or at least better in his way of thinking.
From HatChat.net:
Just days before farmers will be going to vote, Democratic candidate Barack Obama made a major slip when he criticized American agriculture. In an interview with Time Magazine he said, “I was just reading an article in the New York Times by Michael Pollan about food and the fact that our entire agricultural system is built on cheap oil. As a consequence, our agriculture sector actually is contributing more greenhouse gases than our transportation sector. And in the meantime, it’s creating monocultures that are vulnerable to national security threats, are now vulnerable to sky-high food prices or crashes in food prices, huge swings in commodity prices, and are partly responsible for the explosion in our health care costs because they’re contributing to type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease, obesity, all the things that are driving our huge explosion in health care costs. That’s just one sector of the economy. You think about the same thing is true on transportation. The same thing is true on how we construct our buildings. The same is true across the board.”
Which leads me to wonder - is Obama going to ban tractors, combines, tillers, plows, anything that uses diesel or unleaded gas? Are we going to be forced to use horses and oxen to till our fields?
And, it's nice to know it is all our fault that Americans can be obese. Is Obama going to force farmers to only grow arugula? I know he was unhappy about the price of Arugula at Whole Foods.
But I do not know any farmer who shops at Whole Foods, or even where a Whole Foods may be. Does he think arugula grows on trees? Does he know that temperature, moisture, sun and wind all affect the prices of anything grown by farmers?
Gad. I've already voted - for McCain. Please, vote for McCain/Palin. At least they have a decent chance of understanding farming.
Obama has no chance at all. I am hopeful that he does not want to point to third world nations as prime examples of how American Farmers should be farming!!!!!

Obama's friends should be a signal to all of us
William Ayers, Rev. Wright, Obama's own wife - all of these people hate the United States. How can anyone believe that Obama would hang out with people like that and not notice their political outlook?
And now, I hear obvious shills calling into local radio shows simply to push Obama and to mock Palin and McCain as unworthy and stupid.
I do not trust Obama. I believe he is going to be very bad for our Country if he is elected president. Too many of his supporters are making threats - this is the USA, not Kenya or Venezuela or Cuba.
All I can do is vote my conscience. Vote for Palin and McCain.

Why I vote
As I stated in my post below, Obama's pro-abortion pro-infanticide beliefs are one of the top ten reasons I will vote against him and for McCain.
Here is another reason:
October 10, 2008
Fellow Sportsman,
Hello, my name is Rich Pearson and I have been active in the firearm rights movement for over 40 years. For the past 15 years, I have served in the Illinois state capitol as the chief lobbyist for the Illinois State Rifle Association.I lobbied Barack Obama extensively while he was an Illinois State Senator. As a result of that experience, I know Obama’s attitudes toward guns and gun owners better than anyone. The truth be told, in all my years in the Capitol I have never met a legislator who harbors more contempt for the law-abiding firearm owner than Barack Obama.
Although Obama claims to be an advocate for the 2nd Amendment, his voting record in the Illinois Senate paints a very different picture. While a state senator, Obama voted for a bill that would ban nearly every hunting rifle, shotgun and target rifle owned by Illinois citizens. That same bill would authorize the state police to raid homes of gun owners and forcibly confiscate banned guns. Obama supported a bill that would shut down law-abiding firearm manufacturers including Springfield Armory, Armalite, Rock River Arms and Les Baer. Obama also voted for a bill that would prohibit law-abiding citizens from purchasing more than one gun per month.
Without a doubt, Barack Obama has proven himself to be an enemy of the law abiding firearm owner. At the same time, Obama has proven himself to be a friend to the hardened criminal. While a state senator, Obama voted 4 times against legislation that would allow a homeowner to use a firearm in defense of home and family.
Does Barack Obama still sound to you like a “friend” of the law-abiding gun owner?
And speaking of friends, you can always tell a person by the company they keep. Obama counts among his friends the Rev. Michael Pfleger - a renegade Chicago priest who has openly called for the murder of gun shop owners and pro-gun legislators. Then there is his buddy Richard Daley, the mayor of Chicago who has declared that if it were up to him, nobody would be allowed to own a gun. And let’s not forget Obama’s pal George Soros - the guy who has pumped millions of dollars into the UN’s international effort to disarm law-abiding citizens.
Obama has shown that he is more than willing to use other people’s money to fund his campaign to take your guns away from you. While a board member of the leftist Joyce Foundation, Barack Obama wrote checks for tens of millions of dollars to extremist gun control organizations such as the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence and the Violence Policy Center.
Does Barack Obama still sound to you like a “friend” of the law-abiding gun owner?
Go read the whole letter at John of Argghhh!'s place.
I am a gun owner. I'm a pretty good shot. If I want a gun to protect myself, my family and my home, the Constitution gives me that right. Obama, Pelosi and Reid will do what they can to take away my Constitutional Rights.
I know that Sarah Palin will do all she can to protect those rights. So I vote for Sarah Palin and McCain.

Why I vote
Pope John Paul II stated:
“Disregard for the right to life, precisely because it leads to the killing of the person whom society exists to serve, is what most directly conflicts with the possibility of achieving the common good... It is impossible to further the common good without acknowledging and defending the right to life, upon which all the other inalienable rights of individuals are founded and from which they develop.” (The Gospel of Life, 72, 101).
That is one of the top ten reasons to vote for John McCain and against Barrack Hussein Obama.

Joe the Plumber
I am absolutely shocked at the vitriol of the Left and the MSM. They are treating Joe the Plumber like a criminal - why? Because he asked Obama a question and Obama's answer actually revealed that the Obama campaign is all about turning this country into a Socialist Country. He wants to "Spread the wealth around" because, don't ya know, that would be good for everybody!
Everybody except for those who work hard to succeed. Obama plans to punish any of us who do well by taking more of our earnings than we are currently taxed - a lot more. A whole lot more. And then, to take that money, take out a bunch of it for bureaucrats and then give it to people who have not earned it, don't want to earn it and are now just going to sit back and do as little as possible, since the Joes of the world are making it possible.
Even the Toledo, Ohio City Officials are investigating the poor guy.
This is freedom of speech? I've never seen anything like this before, and it scares the absolute shit out of me.
Naturally, Obama, as always, says that he is not responsible for what other Democrats do or say. He is trying very hard to be a teflon candidate.
He should speak out against this persecution of anyone who speaks against him.

Alpha Omega?
Remember that video of the boys chanting Alpha Omega and then chanting about Obama being the reason for everything?
It is here.
Anyway, today, I find out that video was made in a Kansas City, Missouri PUBLIC Charter School! Not even a high school, but a MIDDLE SCHOOL!
I'm pissed.
The Kansas City, Missouri School District has been an awful mess and an embarrassment for decades. The School Board is perennially unable to do anything to educate the children there. They continue to be voted into office by people who were apparently educated in the Kansas City School District, because they have apparently learned nothing!!!!
The teacher, whose name is not being released by the school, has been suspended - but, this fascist display of Obamadoration cannot be undone, and should warn everyone of how wacked many of Obama's supporters are - not all, but many.
I am SO GLAD I no longer live in Kansas City.

Ya think??????????/
Obama May Have Overstated Role in State Ethics Reform
Barack Obama likes to give himself star billing for his role in enacting ethics reforms in Illinois a decade ago, but he didn't act alone."When I was in Illinois, I passed the toughest ethics reform in 25 years there, despite the opposition of Democrats and Republicans," the Democratic presidential candidate told a New Hampshire audience last month.
In fact, Obama was part of an ensemble that negotiated the legislation and built support for it. And the ethics bill passed by lopsided margins of 52-4 in the Senate and 102-3 in the House, although its riskier moments came earlier during those behind-the-scene negotiations that Obama was heavily involved in.

An Obama Regiment?
So, now, Obama fans are creating junior regiments with Obama T-shirts and camouflage pants?
I really don't care for this Obamadoration. Too much of a cult of personality - you know, like Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, etc.
Not to go over the top with this, but I don't recall anything like this during any election in my lifetime. It's scary to me.
Thanks to Blatherings for bringing this to light!

All these graphics remind of Soviet-style propaganda
But this one, demonstrating some kind of goofy Obama Salute really makes me ill.
In fact, I think the graphic would be more accurate like this:
