These comments were taken from a metropolitan newspaper in Texas. Again I have simply copied and pasted with no editing except to excise the screen names of those who commented on an article about the election of Sen. Obama to be our next president.
"As a business owner who employs 30 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama, will be our next President, and that my taxes and fees, will go up in a BIG way.To compensate for these increases, I figure, that the customer, will have to see an increase in my fees to them of about, 8%. I will also have to lay off 6 of my employees.This really bothered me as I believe we are family here and didn't know how to choose who will have to go. So, this is what I did. I strolled thru the parking lot and found 6 Obama bumper stickers on my employee's cars. I have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off.I can't think of another fair way to approach this problem. If you have a better idea, let me know.I am sending this letter to all business owners that I know"
"WILL NEVER BOW DOWN TO THIS MAN, I WILL NEVER OBEY HIS WORDS. I AM A CHRISTIAN FIRST AND AMERICAN, WIFE, MOM, GRANDMOM. I BELIEVE IN MY COUNTRY, BUT THIS MAN WILL NEVER BE MY PRESIDENT."
"Obama to Inherit Economy in Worst Crisis in 70 Years"Good, I sincerely hope he goes through 4 years of utter hell."
"Hooooray!! I'm so excited for this day in history! We have elected a terrorist to the white house! Next thing, i guess Hugo and Osama will be sipping tea and having meetings at the White House! A historic day indeed!"
"If you thought things were bad before, watch 'em go straight to hell now."
"He is not my President. Like some of my friends did with Bush, I can turn the television off when he is on, vigorously exercise my right to free speech, and, I guess, send him a big check every April. And pray, which would no doubt anger him the most."
"To quote Obama on the subject of global warming and greenhouse emissions: "the cost of electricity will skyrocket". Did anyone think their light bills weren't big enough already?And what is his Civilian Security Force all about - something he says will be funded equally with the military - sounds a little like Hitler's SS.Spreading the wealth giving tax credits to those who don't owe taxes is socialism.He refuses to wear the American Flag lapel pin because others might be offended for what it represents. So just what country is he planning on representing?I mourn for our country. We have lost our way and it's pretty much the fault of the Republican party who drifted away from its core conservative base so republicans had no true incentive to vote. McCain was 7th or 8th down the list of potential candidates. This election was between bad and worse and worse one."
"6% black....50% white................44% ARABIC"
"The worst has happened, the downfall of the America we know now begins. McCain's concession speech showed the type of man he is - calling for people to work together, th think of Obama as president, etc. Any doubts that Obama concession speech would have been full of racism? I sincerely hope that all of you who voted for this clown, especially the young people who are started out as wage earners, I hope you feel the pains of his ecomonic plans - that might be the best lesson you wll learn in life. Watch for the foreign aid to Kenya to increase"
(To me, the following is the most offensive comment. I thought it was offensive when Mrs. Obama said something similar, too.)
"Today, for the first time in my life I am ashamed to be an American"
Again, as in the earlier post, I point out that not all the comments are of this ilk. Many are patriotic and hopeful that President-Elect Obama will be a good president who will help solve the many problems we, as a nation, are facing today. It is just astounding to me that so many people who claim to be Christians and patriotic Americans harbor such hate in their hearts. I'm also sad to say that I suspect that the hate comes from a different place than simply disagreeing with his policies.

I have recently dropped out of the church I had been attending for years. The hatefulness of people who call themselves Christians was shameful. They have been voting Republican for years while that party has failed to follow through with promises and has also undermined the interests of working Christian people. And yet they remain true believers in their politicians. I can't figure it out.
