Who Won The 2012 Election?
  • Who won the election? The Government won.

    In this case, it was the left-wing government.

    Here is a small sampling of the things that Barack Obama supporters backed — please own it — in backing Barack Obama:

    Mohamed Morsi — first Islamist president in Egypt’s history and a member the Muslim Brotherhood which openly advocates violence against women much like the unspeakable deed we see in this photo — is supported and sanctioned by Barack Obama and his administration.

    Barack Obama recently welcomed the election of the first Islamist president in Egypt’s history.

    This is a man who during his campaign, a campaign the Obama administration openly supported, said: “The Koran is our Constitution, the prophet is our leader, jihad is our path, and death in the name of allah is our goal.”

    This same man, Mohamed Morsi, belongs to an organization called the Muslim Brotherhood, which among other things explicitly pledges in its charter to “infiltrate western society and destroy it from within.”

    This same man, to whom Barack Obama sent $450 million taxpayer dollars, also supports forced female circumcision, genital mutilation, and the absolute rejection of women’s rights.

    If, therefore, you believe, as I do, in women’s rights, gay rights, and the inalienable rights of all human beings regardless of race, sex, sexual orientation, color, class, or creed, please note that if you backed Barack Obama, you backed a man who backs a man who sanctions this. Because when the Obama administration says, as it recently did: “We look forward to working with President-elect Mohamed Morsi, and the government he forms” — they were not, I assure you, kidding (though in reality it sounds like a very sick joke indeed).

    The bureaucratic monstrosity known as the Internal Revenue Service — the IRS — will now control the majority of your healthcare decisions, thanks to ObamaCare. The private, one-on-one relationship between you and your doctor will be effectively abolished.

    Obama not only extended but expanded the so-called Patriot Act, for which by liberals George Bush was properly vilified, and which supports among other things warrentless wire-taps, invasive surveillance, and spying on American citizens.

    Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which among other things grants him the power to indefinitely detain and arrest any American citizen any time he wants, under his discretion. Obama supporters (unwittingly) called Barack “a psychopath” for these very policies, although when they realized it was in fact Barack who signed these policies, everything became inexplicably okay:

    Instead of “cutting the deficit in half,” as he pledged on February 23, 2009, Barack Obama has amassed the greatest debt this country has ever known, and which will turn a once economically great nation on its economic head.

    When pot smokers and recreational drug-users voted for Barack Obama because, during his initial campaign for President, Obama promised “a compassionate drug policy,” they may not have realized that in actuality Obama requested $25.6 billion for drug control by 2013. That is the highest yearly total ever by an American president. More here on this absolutely pointless and profligate life-destroying war-on-drugs:

    And let us not, of course, forget the so-called stimulus package which Barack Obama rammed through before anyone had even read the bill — a very partial listing of which expenditures runs something like this:

    So congratulations are in order, I suppose, to all Barack Obama supporters who, even though they don’t have any real understanding of political-economic philosophy, got exactly what they wanted — while the rest of us must deal with the utterly despicable and disastrous consequences.

  • Thank you, Tisha.

    And thank you for dropping by.

  • I appreciate the information provided. It is very true that most of the population do not know or understand many of the issues and take what is said at face value. One of the issues I find interesting is that the US government (thanks to our forefathers) makes it so that one person CANNOT effectively accomplish anything in government – it takes the whole body (i.e., Senate and House as well), which for the past few years has been right-wing. So my question is: will you write a similar blog on Romney (as he too is no angel)?

  • Hello Susan G. It’s good to hear from you. Barack Obama by his own admission seeks to subvert what you correctly call the “whole body” of government and thus, as he himself recently said, wishes he could “impose [his] will upon congress.” Despite, for example, promising during the 2008 campaign to “broadcast healthcare negotiations live on C-Span,” he and his corrupt administration instead slammed through his filthy piece of healthcare legislation before anyone had read the bill by means of countless shady backroom deals and against the will of the majority of Americans, including many who supported healthcare reform. As one commentator, who is no Republican, perceptively put it just days before this past election:

    Many evils are in store for us if Obama wins a second term, ranging from crippling taxation and Obamacare to the war on energy and the imminence of economic collapse. These are certainly legitimate concerns, but to my mind what is even more frightening is Obama’s practice of ruling by executive order—that is, by moving into the legislative realm and instituting federal policies he himself approves, regardless of the ideas of Congress, and even in contradiction to established law (e.g., his latest edict on immigration).

    There is therefore no comparison between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney — the latter of whom I am also no big fan of — because Obama and his administration are utterly hellbent on imposing their socialist-statist agenda onto America. But in answer to your question, yes, had Romney won I would have written articles critical of him and his policies, as I have written many articles critical of the right-wing. Here are a few:
