    Elections have consequences

    http://lasvegas.cbslocal.com/2012/11...-22-employees/

    “Well unfortunately, and most of my employees are Hispanic — I’m not gonna go into what kind of company I have, but I have mostly Hispanic employees — well unfortunately we know what happened and I can’t wait around anymore, I have to be proactive. I had to lay off 22 people today to make sure that my business is gonna thrive and I’m gonna be around for years to come. I have to build up that nest egg now for the taxes and regulations that are coming my way. Elections do have consequences, but so do choices. A choice you make every day has consequences and you know what, I’ve always put my employees first, but unfortunately today I have to put me and my family first, and you watch what’s gonna happen. I’m just one guy with 114 employees — well was 114 employees — watch what happens in the next six months.
    The new demographic "won" the election and they also are going to "win" the consequences. This is just the beginning. We'll see how far Obama gets with fudging the unemployment numbers after the first of the year when all that Christmas part time help gets laid off.

    The way has just begun. From the record of Barak Owbama and his fawning posse and the comments on this forum, the intent seems to be to completely crush the opposition.

    Never forget the old Asia caution of 'never take all from from your defeated, leave them enough to live and, especially their pride, or they may rise again and to do you what you have done to them."

    No party can thrive without dissent from without.

    you lost the election.

    You will lose election after election.

    There is only one way to stop this trend.

    For you and your party to be more inclusive of people who dont look or live like you do.


    That is a cold hard fact.

    Your life will be instantly better the momment you embrace the reality of the world you actually live in.

    And you lost the country. In the past, something like 80 percent of the jobs were created by small business and you just nuked them.

    Enjoy the ride, stupid.

    Yep . . . as someone noted yesterday, low information and the politically self-indulgent [also the hysterics] voted Obama back into office on Tuesday and since Obama was raised and trained by socialists he is definitely going to push socialistic approaches now that he has his fabled second term 'flexibility' and the economy is going to spasm and flatline -- again and again and again -- as an inevitable result as grim business owners hunker down to ride out the next four years.

    The huge irony is that even most Left of Center voters in poll after poll admitted that Romney was definitely the candidate capable of healing the economy but that they were going to vote for Obama because he was more likeable or because he was more interested in 'woman parts' or because all White males are EVIL racists . . . since MSNBC and the white male racist, Chris Matthews, told them so. Sheesh!

    So the idiots and $#@!s and outright lunatics of this nation wanted Obama and his guaranteed free ride and very soon now they are going to be collectively scratching their heads and wondering what the hell just happened to their sources of income and to that 'free ride' in life that Hope and Change Obama promised.

    If the Republican party sends a message of Liberty they will start to win again.

    The Republican Party definitely needs to get out of the bedroom and be totally focused on economic freedom and the benefits it brings.

    But frankly, I agree that it won't make the difference. The fact is that more people are getting checks than writing them and that the progressive efforts to dumb down the population have succeeded. Like all great nations and cultures, this one has had its time in the sun and turned its back on what got it there.

    Cigar's "new demographic" divided up by race and class and only united by hatred of whites and the successful are the majority in America now. Their ideas are bearing fruit in the pervasive economic and social decline of the country.
