How did I miss this post.....? Thanks Carlos, I appreciate that dude. ;)

I read this quote today...first time I've ever seen it, but it really shows how smart of a man President Lincoln was. "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." - Abraham Lincoln Even though we may not agree with Obama's stance on issues in the past, we conservative/republicans need to respect his presidency until he proves that he is not a man of character while in office. Bill Clinton is the perfect example...he proved himself over and over...scumbag. GW Bush also proved himself I believe...Person of character. I would also like to say for my fellow Bible thumpers, lets not forget that God said that He ordains the leaders that are in place. They are there for a reason. God's will..will be done. In Romans chapter 13 you can read all about how we are to respect their authority. Can we disagree with him...absolutely. If he goes against God's word it is our job to voice our disagreements and such, but he is still our president and should be respected for that. Also, another thing I wanted to add. The only thing that will heal our land is not who is president, or who is in congress, etc.... 2Ch 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

The intent of this thread when I started it was not to turn it into another political debate...I also promised to keep it civil, so I will. But, I have to respond to these. See, I don't get that. I have never been a person to judge people by how much melanin they have in their skin. I don't think people should have special "rights" or be promoted for that reason either. If a conservative black man would have been running, I think we would have supported him just the same. Not more, not less. We look for qualifications, and obviously Obama was/is not qualified for the job. You can argue if you like, but it's simply a fact. Now, I don't get this either...we have not been attacked in 7 years, Bush did a great job with National Security. I'm pretty sure our forefathers never intended the gov't to be the size it is now nor have the power that it does now. They would roll over in their graves...well, if they were buried alive and could roll over in their graves :D

YES....Woohoo.. also Prop 4 which was another biggie (Parental notification for Abortion) passed...Woohoo.

You see Hope over Fear....I see Style over Substance. Obama is very articulate and very charismatic...very hard to go against.

Kevin, Jeff and Matt...I'm curious why you guys think McCain lost. Please keep it civil. My opinion is this: I don't think McCain was the person that conservatives like myself were looking for. It was very hard to get fired up about McCain in this election. He's not conservative. I think we got off track to what we normally and historical stand for which is less gov't spending, less gov't intrusion etc... Just my take, what do you guys think?

Nah, I don't roll like that. I'm not in to hurtin people...well, unless of course they are trying to hurt me, but I'm talking more like this.

Well, I don't drink, but maybe we can go shoot something...you said you like to hunt...

*virtual handshake offered* Now lets all get to work and make some money so we can give it to the jerks that are too lazy to work....hahahahh...just kidding

Hahah...sounds like one of my lines. To bad you are a liberal, you sound like a pretty cool/smart arse/ like me :D

Me desperate? HA HA... I'm not the one, nor my party, out in front of voting places with nightsticks trying to intimidate voters. Look in the mirror dude... By the way, I don't rely on the gov't for my prosperity, you may, but I don't.

Yeah, and if you're white, you may want to bring your guns because there may be some black panthers there blocking your path. You may have to defend yourself. Can you imagine if some KKK members were standing outside a voting place with their garb on??? My goodness, how these racists are soooo anxious to get their guy in. Just like Colin Powell...it's all about race.

Nader...hahahah...good one. Never been to Philly, the only Norhteastern state I've been to is New Yawk. What a dump that was. It's about race everywhere dude. Some people just mask it better than others, but it's always about race. At least to liberals..hahahahah

Hey, I don't revile our setting president and I said that we should respect the office of the presidency, no matter who is setting in there. You pickin on me? Or even worse, are you calling me a democrat? :lgangry: :D

Maybe the Black Panthers stood at the door and prevented him from voting...unless of course he's gonna vote for the black guy. I thought this wasn't suppose to be about race.

Yeah, California is full of wackos...I'm glad I don't live there....oh wait...D'oh!

Nobama is a legend in his own mind...he hasn't taken over anything. Maybe tomorrow he will, but for now, he is nothing but an unqualified, senator from who knows where that couldn't even be a police officer in most departments. If he does win the election he deserves to be treated with respect. As much as I disagree with him on just about everything, I will still respect....well, that may be the wrong word...nah, I still respect the "office" of the presidency.

Just signs EVERYWHERE....I think the silent majority in this issue is tired of being silent and taking the backseat on this issue. Let's just hope that it's a slap in the face of those judges tomorrow thinking they are God... Protect Marriage, Vote Yes on 8 !!!

What freedoms has GW taken away from you? Are you a terrorist? I can see that if you are, he has been ruthless on them....and so would McCain.

"They can take away our lives.....but they can't take away.....our FREEDOM!!!" :D One of my favorite movies.

Here is the full interview just so you know it's not taken out of context. Chicago Public Radio - Audio Library: Eight Forty-Eight

I had never heard this before....for myself at least. He wants to take away CCW permits. This guy is scarier than I thought...this is real people. He's gonna take away your guns, your money and your freedom. Don't vote for this POS. [yt]q-4jqZSEo0Q[/yt]

Yeah, if you're a terrorist....or a democrat.

Can't remember where I heard it, but it sure fits in here :D

Scott...it's no use, I think Rod's mind is so "open" that his brains have fell out.
