Feeling ill. And angry. People are celebrating and they don't know what they're in for. Already, stock prices in other markets around the world are going down. Small businesses that have been barely hanging on are going to go out of business. Energy costs will skyrocket as O enacts more of his anti-coal agenda. Israel is in greater danger. And on and on.
I wish that only the people who voted for this arrogant, American-hating man would suffer, but unfortunately we will all suffer (except for the solar energy execs who get money from the govt, etc.).
Most angry at the lying media.
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.

"Already, stock prices in other markets around the world are going down."
- Yeah, that's never happened before (sarcasm off)
- 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)
- On the plus side, we'll be able to go on breathing.
- Of...what now?
- 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.

First inklings of doubt and cognitive dissonance? There's hope reason

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.
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?

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.
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.

You're ALMOST there---keep going down this path.

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.
It's a strange illusion, this idea that merely by the election of one man, either everything bad will happen or everything good.
Anti-coal agenda?!
Darn it, last I heard, he had an anti-petroleum agenda.
Which is it? You're making my head hurt.
"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."
Yeah, you must be really pissed at that dumb-fuck now, eh?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
