You think Obama is bad because he's an America-hater but you voted for the guy who regards half the country as parasites?

" God was in control when Israel went into Babylonian captivity. God was in control when Stalin killed upwards of 60 million people"
This is entirely true. Now if only you could connect those dots...

"Already, stock prices in other markets around the world are going down."
- Yeah, that's never happened before (sarcasm off)
"Small businesses that have been barely hanging on are going to go out of business."
- While large corporations reap bigger-than-ever profits. Say, do you suppose the corporations are using their influence to try and make this happen? Naw, they're swell, patriotic job-creators. (dang, thought I turned that off)
"Energy costs will skyrocket as O enacts more of his anti-coal agenda."
- On the plus side, we'll be able to go on breathing.
"Israel is in greater danger."
- Of...what now?
"And on and on."
- Yeah, we know

The Dow has DOUBLED under Obama, the Israelis themselves have said that Obama's done more for them than any other president in decades, and he's given numerous tax cuts to small businesses, which have been suffering under an economy and deregulation brought to you by the Republicans.
There's your check on the "lying media" (i.e. Fox News).
Turn off Hannity and Rush and do some reading.

Again, all the things you said in 2008 that never happened...

Not Eliezer Yudkowsky, unfortunately
The last paragraph is the most sane I've heard, even though I'm an atheist.

People keep saying "God is in control" as if that makes everything okay. God was in control when Israel went into Babylonian captivity. God was in control when Stalin killed upwards of 60 million people.
First inklings of doubt and cognitive dissonance? There's hope for you yet, now if you could just reason it out.

Oh, so close!
"Small businesses that have been barely hanging on are going to go out of business."
TBF if your business is suffering that badly it ain't actually going to make a difference who is in power you're likely to go bust anyway.

Go to bed. Pull the covers over your head and don't come out until 4 years later.

Feeling ill. And angry. People are celebrating
And enjoying conservative angst and despair. Don't forget that.
Of course, how much would conservatives be celebrating had they achieved their goal of making Obama a one-term president?
People keep saying "God is in control" as if that makes everything okay. God was in control when Israel went into Babylonian captivity. God was in control when Stalin killed upwards of 60 million people.
So then God allows terrible things to happen. If he allows terrible things to happen without stopping or preventing them, then he's an evil god.

God was in control the times our beloved Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills played in Super Bowls. God was in charge when the Sacagawea dollar coin was introduced. God was in control when the Prohibition Amendment was repealed. He's really not all that impressive at this control thingy.

If your god is in control, we can take it as a fact that he doesn't give a rat's turd about you and your fellow fundies. Maybe he's just sick of you screwing over his image with your batshit lies.

When your religion involves the belief that God is going to suck you right out of your clothes and fly you off to heaven to marry Jesus at any moment, you really don't have much claim to reason.
Reason and Rapture Ready mix like oil and water.

Y'know, no matter how much you claim otherwise, liberals weren't this deranged about Bush.

"Energy costs will skyrocket as O enacts more of his anti-coal agenda."
If nobody wants green energy than yes.
"Israel is in greater danger."
They do have an army themselves you know.
"People keep saying "God is in control" as if that makes everything okay."
Which is one of the reason I deconverted, the evidence stopped supporting the fariy tale (Hey, I was 9!).

Sure, we seldom know exactly what we're in for. But, as Obama has been in office for four years, it's probably more of the same. Hopefully a bit more than before, as we can still feel the slump of the eight Dubbya years. At least we were spared the anti-human-rights arrogance and rich-people-first that the Other Side was spouting.
Israel has only itself to blame; if you treat others as subhumans and invade their country on a regula basis, they are going to retaliate sooner or later.
If God is in control, he put Obama where he is.

Coal is getting hammered by natural gas. But since Obama is a liar he'll probably help them out with loser regulation anyway.

Who cares about Israel?
Apart from Israeli people, of course? What's this concern with them? So far they are holding on.
