Obama wins the popular vote.

Romney wins the electoral college.

As much as we might all dream about there being, one day, in this country, a pure form of democracy, much like in many western European countries. We do not have this sytem yet.

If Mitt Romney becomes the next president, we might have to relive the hell of another middle eastern war.

The horrifying zombies of the Bush administration have not receded into the shadows, the facts show that a large number of neoconservatives from the former Bush administration, have indeed gravitated towards Romney.

We have people such as John Bolten, who is rumored to be the next Romney pick for secretary of state, Eliot Cohen who has written in several Romney campaign publications, Gary Schmitt an original signatory to (PNAC), a vehemently hawkish neoconservative manifesto, Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle all jumping on the Romney boat.

People there might be a possibility that Romnay’s policy might drag us into another war in the middle east!

We might also have another 2000 Florida style election, and if we do, you can be certain that there was voter fraud, voter intimidation and corruption at high levels within the swing states that go in Romney’s favor.

All we can now hope for is that the United Nations election moniters do a good job, by stoping any voter intimidation, which might come from right wing extremist groups, and if violence does erupt from Christian extremists, let us welcome the UN troops who will bring peace and tranquility to a scenerio where the election might be stolen for the second time in our nation’s histroy.

Ohh… when will we ever learn…

Unfortunately, i am not as optimstic regarding President Obama – everything that President Obama has done in his life shows that he is a moderate – probably by the 1950s or 1960s definition a moderate conservative even (the fact that Obama is basically an old fashioned moderate Republican shows just how radical right wing the REpublicans have become as well as how much driven by pure racism and sexism they really are)..

Obviously moderation is better than the wholesale radical Mammonism and Socialism of Risk represented by Mitt Romney and the Republicans, but i believe that the odds that President Obama will suddenly turn into a real progressive is about equal to the odds of Mitt Romney donating all of his wealth to feed starving children of parents who lost their jobs due to vulture capiitalists.

Could be….

If so, I fell into the tiger trap, and I apologize for my indignation. It seemed like Jason Sockpuppet in his endless manifestations.

Even meditative monists get “irritable” once in a while….:)

And as it looks likely that Obama will remain in office as of latest polls, it might be wise to hunker down and prepare for the hurricane of right wing rage come Wednesday…like all spectacular disasters, a meltdown of Republican zeal is always interesting but it should be observed from a safe distance.

I for one am pleased to have voted for Obama and hope that he will remember his progressive support base in the second term. And now, I will meditate.

Comments like that don’t offend me. They simply embarass me. You, and those like you who think racist jokes are funny, are truly an embarassment to my country.

You make America look bad.

I think the issue is that we should be concerned about doing whatever we can urgently to halt global warming, regardless of the causes, and not just twaddle our thumbs and say, well, since 1% of the earth scientists say it could be methane from the ocean, let’s go for a joyride in our F250.

Regardless of the cause, our species is facing possible extinction or at least global calamity (floods, food shortages, increased mortality rates, disruptions of all kinds) due to the effects. What we are seeing is only the beginning, I think.

Ice coring does indeed provide climate information through pre-history. However, our current temperatures this year in North America were the second highest in known history, based on those samples.

Carbon in the atmosphere is now 27% higher than at any point in the past 650,000 years, also verified by ice core samples. The notion of “natural cycles” which is popular among right wing circles and plutocrats like the Koch brothers in defense of hydrocarbons, remains unproven by global science. It is a gamble we should not take.

Even if methane released by oceanic microorganisms were contributing to the greenhouse effect, there can be no doubt the use of hydrocarbons creates greenhouse gas pollution, in addition to the factors that caused species death before.The vast majority of the world’s scientists agree this is the case.

The last time so much carbon was present in the atmosphere was 60 million years ago. And that period of the Paleocene coincided with massive reduction of life on earth. The carbon in our atmosphere is obviously related to burning hydrocarbons, and any theory of natural cycles must also take hydrocarbon use into consideration as a causal factor.

On a serious note:

Interesting use of possessive pronoun “their.”
Kind of reminds me of that part from any authentic Passover Haggadah called THE FOUR CHILDREN. The quote below is from a Jewish Federation web page:

“The wicked child asks “What does this Passover service mean to you?” The parent should answer “It is because of what God did for me when I came out of Egypt.” Specifically ‘me’ and not ‘you.’ If you had been there (with your attitude) you wouldn’t have been redeemed.”

So I guess he’s on board for separation of church and state.
Yeah right.
