It's about time everyone woke up & let the past belong to its place in history...The Past.

We cannot be held accountable for the sins of our fathers, & its time we all looked ahead to the future as if we don't.....

...there will be no future!

Sirius, you have not seen the light yet. The light just appeared to me Tuesday night. The past does matter. We (I) must now make the wrongs of the past right.


Incorrect - what we must do is "not to repeat the mistakes of the past".

2 different things altogether.

We absolutely must be accountable for the sins of our fathers, going back hundreds of generations. It is the only way the system of hate works. Tolerance can not be allowed to exist. Blame must be assigned and it must be paid for over and over. It is obvious that you don't have a clue about the reasons that the courts in America have cited for programs such as affirmative action to exist, or the Robin Hood entitlements. They of course also validate the hatred between the Arab and the Jew. Hate is how you obtain power. Power is to be desired above all else, even money.

Hate is the Power! and the glory forever. Amen.

many white guys (and everything else) learn, grow, adapt. As we get older we tend to adapt less, and where we came from seems to carry more weight than where we can go. So the moral of the story: you may no longer lead the herd.
Let someone else take the lead for a while. And watch as things move forward beyond your expectations.

And if people even START to treat others fairly.. wow what a day.

The History Of White People by N. I. Painter, a non-white woman author, has been On The Shelf, and since there has been all This Disparaging Remarking of Whites, I've decided to dust it off and Read The Screed.

As An Extremely White And Old Man, I hope to Have Revelations Imparted to me, which will Shine The Light Of LibberDom on my Empty Chair/ into Mind and My Soul Infused.

In The Future(the robots betrayed me on this) I hope, when the Map of the US, showing all Voting Districts, instead of 90 Percent painted Red, they will be The Enlightened Blue Blue Blue of The Sky and Sea, caressing me with The Warmth Of True LibberLub.

So I can Vote and Be Happy, Not Angry. FORWARD Broheims!

DEMON...Hot Blue

May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!!

It seems to me, that a few on the dem side of the fence, now feel free to be rather proud now that their chosen [expletive deleted] has won.
And they wish to think their views are always correct and give no second ground to others.

That is the way of the dems, I guess.

And the way Obama is taking.......

50% unhappy? read a good part of the south is still very very racist. Like many animals Racists learned you can't walk down the street screaming racial epitaphs at people and get away with it. Racism has take a much more subtle tone. Its there, just waiting.

A close friend of my mothers. Preaches love kindness forgiveness charity as a nice older baptist lady. When it came to the candidates she hated Romney with every fiber of her being. Untrustworthy, slimy, and shifty were words used. She still voted for him though. Couldnt bring herself to vote for a black man.

Putting to one side this Electoral College thing, the country voted virtually 50/50 for the two candidates. Hardly surprising then that 1/2 the country is unhappy. If we get a hung parliament we can have a coalition, your system doesn;t allow that. Its a voting system by politicians, for politicians. But then again, most state governors run their patch like a private estate, whoever the president is.

Ignore the President, get your LOCAL politicians doing what you want them to do!


The basis for counting presidential election votes has been unchanged since 1972. The last significant changes to election system in the US were the 17th Amendment (direct election of Senators, 1913), the 19th Amendment (Women's right to vote, 1920) and the 26th Amendment (Voting age set to 18, 1971).

If anything, the Electoral College inflated the number of pro Romney delegates, Wyoming will send 3 pro Romney delegates, where he collected 170,365 votes (56,788 1/3 votes/delegate), whereas California will send 55 pro Obama delegates, where he collected 5,658,572 votes (102,833 votes/delegate), and New York will send 29 pro Obama delegates, where he collected 3,873,680 votes (133,575 votes/delegate).

Winning the majority of the popular vote nationally is not a requirement for winning the votes of Electoral College delegates (e.g. Bush 2000), though it helps, and Obama did both.

Your comments about Governors appear to be based on a misunderstanding of how the States of the Union operate. An approximation might be your Mayor of London.

Similarly your statements about a "hung parliament" also appear to be based on a misunderstanding of how the US Congress operates, where it is possible for a 3rd party to have the balance of power and form a coalition.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

Last statement.

I voted, did the single, most important thing I could do.

Obama bought to offset my vote with my own tax dollars by catering to those I like the least.

Witless welfare recipients that just want it to go on foreeeeeeeeeeeeever.
And less than amusingly entitled illegal immigrants.

Don't give me any crap about this.........
They are the only contingents that pushed Obama over the edge.

And before you give me any ####, just remember that about 48% of the US voters agree with ME, you damned, ignorant, snotty liberals.

I may be "damned" and I may be "snotty", but I personally take issue with the charge of "ignorant".

On these boards most are. Elsewhere I can't repeat the posts as they are not kid friendly, trash talk worse than at a sports bar after a few pitchers of beer have been consumed. Yet those people "want compromise" or so they say. They better look in the mirror. They are going to get exactly what they give. Isn't that the golden rule?

Yeah, I guess it is.
But there is a highly pissed off almost 50 percent of the nation to deal with right now.

And I, and they, are going to be watching very closely.
