I voted McCain and lost. You won, congratulations. The US (and world) economies had to collapse for him to win, but he did. I promised last year that I would come here the day after the election and so I have. This is my last post, and it will be my last visit to Salon after over 10 years of reading it (and subscribing at one point).
I do not consider Obama my president and I never will. I consider him a political opportunist whose only skill is a great ability to mesmerize people with speech. I have always been wary of such people and the public reaction to this man scares me. I have watched videos of great psychological manipulators such as Hitler and I am struck by the similarities. I will not support him or his policies.
For those who did not vote Obama, you may be receiving a newsletter via email in the future entitled "Guerilla living under Obama Nation". It will touch on topics that will be of interest to us under this new regime: civil disobedience, tax evasion, forming interlinked support groups, message encryption using PGP, etc. For obvious (personal security)reasons this cannot be distributed via blogging.
So, Nobama people, take heart! A grain of sand in the cogs of this regime will get crushed, but a million grains will bring the machine to a halt. Join the insurgency! The time for action is coming! Do your share to ensure he only gets four short years :-)
