RE: So, how are your conservative friends taking it?

More right wing stupidity I found on facebook!
Twitter, I love you so much because when people say something really stupid, you broadcast it so we can all see it. Case in point, Kristen Neel was upset Obama won the election. She said she wants to move to Australia because "their president is a Christian and actually supports what he says.'' The problem with that statement? 3 things, specifically:
1) Australia doesn't have a president at all; they have a prime minister. Small difference, I know, but it's there.
2) Australia's prime minister isn't a man, it's a woman
and
3) Their prime minister isn't Christian; Julia Gillard is an atheist.

Just so stupid. Reminds me of all those guys who say they want to move to Canada because Obama is going to socialize health care..... even though Canada already has universal health care, legal same sex marriage and a host of social welfare programs that would get shot down in a heartbeat here for being socialist.

We will likely have a devout Catholic Male Prime Minister in a year. Because the current prime minister’s party has not been terribly popular for two years now.
Anyway I did read that somewhere and thought either Kristen Neel is extremely thick or having a piss as we like to say in Australia.
Our head of state is Queen Elizabeth II, the head of the Church of England. Her proxy in Australia is governor general Quentin Bryce (who is also a woman). I am not sure if Kristen would like to live in a constitutional monarchy, not to mention a nation where we have openly gay judges and politicians. Also I believe if Kristen Neel had been born in Australia, she would be an ardent Monarchist and think Australia becoming a republic would be a disaster.

Almost half are glad Obama won and almost half are upset Romney lost...the remaining few are liberals. Everyone moved on with their lives.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

They are preparing to resist the socialist police state and super tyranical power trip Obama is apparently going to be on.
Seriously shit might get crazy I suggest you get a gun the conservatives in my area think a civil war is about to break out but not know they will be the cause if it does.
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.

Meh. I trust our police and military to keep the dumbfucks in line. No guns in my household thank you.

Lucky you. I live in Texas, so if another civil war does go down, I'm pretty confident that the police and military here won't be on my side of that war.

They're doing a bang up job aren't they. In between murdering homeless people, locking up a disproportionate amount of black people, and pepper spraying peaceful young women I mean.
Nemo me impune lacessit.

There's so much butthurt. All of my Republican friends have been shitting their pants for the last week.
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon

Then you can come stay here in DC with me :-) I'm fairly confident that DC will be well protected in such an event... or perhaps the epicenter... Gah... must not give in to paranoid anxiety! Anyway, I'd rather be here than back in Arkansas...

My Facebook is just about over the butthurt-fest, I think (thankfully!).
