I'm scared about Tuesday. I think something may happen.
Nothing is going to happen on Nov. 04 as long as Obama wins and it appears that he has the lead. However if Obama loses, then all bets are off, although I would expect that Obama himself would make a personal appeal to his supporters to remain calm and it does seem like he has a great deal of influence on his voter base.
I have girded myself with my magic armor and Sword of Destiny, I'm ready for ANYTHING:

I think McCain will win on electoral votes while Obama takes the popular vote. There will be massive calls to do way with the electoral system and then they will only have to fix the votes in a few big cities.
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. Thomas Jefferson, 1802
You can reasonably expect a great deal of celebration and singing, but instead of slow gospel, "WE SHALL OVERCOME" type of songs, expect more stuff like Leadbelly's PICK A BALE OF COTTON.

Wasn't there one today when the Phillies won or something??
If he wins, then why would his supporters riot and destroy the property that will eventually be re-distributed to them by Obama over the course of the next 4 years...
Sorry I don't follow baseball - riots by the winning teams' fans? Sheesh. This would never happen with Stanley Cup hockey fans...too classy a group...ha!

The reality is the NWO/Rotchilds-Rockefuckers/Ilumminati want riots and disorder as that provides the excuse for a Police State clampdown. That is why it is important to NOT take the bait.
Of course the Sheeple in the 'hood are so mind controlled that they react on cue. They don't know they are being manipulated which is what really makes it sicker.

I'm scared about Tuesday. I think something may happen.
What do ya'll think?
I have so much anxiety about all this.
Be prepared for riots. Especially if you live in or near any large city. Just check out what happens in the cities that have professional sports teams. Win or lose they d@mn near destroy the town.

Follow my instructions.
Breath all of your anxieties out through your mouth.
Breath in all that is peace.
Go get your guns out of the safe and the Hoppes #9 and some patches.
Disassemble your weapons. Feel the cold steel against your skin.
Smell the wonderful aroma of Hoppes #9 as you begin to clean your weapons... ...slowly..methodically....letting you anxiety go with every stroke of the bore brush.
Now reassemple your weapons. Fondle them. Admire them. LOAD THEM.
Now your worries are over and you can be in peace.
I've moved on to the hip new cocktail: Break-Free CLP followed by Hoppes Bench Rest-9 Copper Solvent. All the cool kids are doing it....

Yep! And I bet they are all blacks that are doing the destruction. I've read that over and over on 4um the last couple of weeks what the blacks are going to do if obanger loses and I'd like to know if any thing we can do to civilize them? Now I'm reading they will destroy anything in sight even if obanger wins.
It's up to each of us, as individual citizens, to make out our own salvation.

BTDT, going back to klinton possible canceling the election, to y2k, to whatever latest potential source of chaos that always seemed to come along every few months.
I dont worry about it until it happens.
I dont know how to help you with your anxiety, except to say to be as prepared as you can be, and just watch.
Re: WHAT TIME ARE THE RIOTS TUESDAY NOV 4th ? 13 minutes ago
RIOTS WILL TAKE PLACE AFTER POLLS CLOSE AROUND 10pm est
JIHAD WILL TAKE PLACE A WEEK LATER AND WE WILL BEHEAD ALL INFIDELS AND ANYONE THAT WILL NOT BECOME A MUSLIM!!!
I JUST RECEIVE THE ITINERARY TONIGHT SO OUR SLEEPER CELL IS READY AND WAITING FROM OUR LEADER BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. WHEN HE TELLS US WE WILL SPRING INTO ACTION. OH YEAH RUMOR HAS IT THAT SINCE OBAMA WILL BE PRESIDENT BIN LADEN HIMSELF WILL COME TO AMERICA AND LIVE WITH BARACK, MICHELLE AND THE KIDS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.................PRAISE BE TO ALLAH..
Well, it's looking like Obama has a good chance of being elected, in which case there will be a long sigh of relief, even joy, for a lot of people, and consternation for others who think the sky will fall, which it won't.
The only way McCaca wins is if he cheats, like Bush and company did, twice. The Repubes are doing their best to purge voters, intimidate, mis-inform, a good bit of which is illegal. The great promoters of democracy seem to have to resort to voter suppression most every election now....
If the latter does happen, there will be a serious fuss for a while, and I hope the Dems don't cave this time.
No riots, maybe some rowdy celebrations, back to business-as-usual by the end of the week is what I expect. I'm more afraid of what Bush and company will do in the last three months of this disastrous administration
And then there's the long haul. It's gonna be tough digging out of the hole that got dug for us.

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. Thomas Jefferson, 1802

I'd never seen democrat spelled that way.
What a bright, insightful reply, Rotara. Can you utter something besides invectives?... Seems you're about to have a Democratic government, for a change. Best you get more comfortable with it.
Scrolling through the comments, seeing X-15's repetitive anti-Christ graphic, I'm reminded of the anti-Christ schtick that was laid on Reagan because each of his names consisted of six-letters. 6-6-6 was supposed to be some kind of sign.
While I didn't and don't appreciate his Presidency, I think that was BS then and is BS now.
You worthless Traitors are fortunate anyone even acknowledges your existence in a Freedom forum.

And for Rotara, thanks for more mindless invectives. When you get rational, maybe even civil, there might be a discussion to have. Meanwhile, I don't intend to be the wall on which you throw your shit.

Oh please. Go back and merely review the vicious crap Rotata spews at me.
You know, the search result you get when you put to userids/posting name in the search function, one from the other to.
After you do that come back and say the only thing that would leave you as an honest response: "Oh... Hey OK I see your point, I'm sorry."
Or something quite similar. I mean, I really can't even believe you just posted that.
Talk about irony.

She just expects everyone to toe her line, now; is that so much to ask? ;-D

I'll give you a pass on your condescending instructions to me for using the search function because you appear to be in a bad mood. However, in as much as Rotara has said nasty things to you in the past, how does that excuse salemguy for his impolite remarks especially since he's new here and hasn't even had the time to demonstrate he can make positive contributions to the forum to offset his negative input?
Hey, I know let's all put every new poster in the iron maiden and on the rack if they offend anyone's sensibilities.
Frankly scrapper, I don't give a damn what he said when he came in here.
As I said, if the skin of 4UM wasn't different, and if it didn't have the new version of the interface, I'd have to periodically scroll to the top to see if I was here, or in my other surrogate account at LP.
It's been as nasty here lately as it always is there.

So you consider these to be positive contributions? Everyone here seems to have pretty strong opinions. How, pray tell, have I offended?
They have a double standard. If you are a NeoCon or conservative, you have an open season to say whatever you wish, regardless how bombastic or threatening it is.
But if you go counter the official line of the approved clique, they get teething pains and need to be burped.

You are free to ignore impolite remarks. In fact as a new poster with not much of a positive contribution posting history - with an aim of creating good first impressions and putting your best foot forward and all - I think it would have been a prudent thing to do. But you're not me. And this is a free speech forum after all. So carry on.

Oh balderdash, Mike. Give me a break. When has christine ever moderated in a heavy handed manner that would suggest that she has encouraged a double-standard for posts by conservatives and neocons vs liberals or is there any evidence whatsoever that christine supports or condones an insider clique-ish discussion board environment with newbies or minority position posters being treated as second class members?
You're really going off the deep end here. And you are making patently false allegations.
Actually, you are wrong. When an apocalyptic group expected the end of the world, some of them went home to die at the end of the world with family, and others stayed together to die with their cult mates.
Those who stayed together reacted to the end of the world not happening by rationalizing and figuring out if mist happen later, and that their belief system was sound, but they had gotten the day wrong.
Those who went home were helped to see they were deluded and most of them recovered from having belonged to this group which is still in existence.
Here in forum, you have everyone rationalizing the impossible and not diverging from the most common thread of thought here. Everyone helps everyone else here shield their little piece of the communal house of cards against the winds of reality's wrath.
Sometimes as in the topic of 9-11 as an inside job, that's a strength, but with the lies regarding Obama, it is an Achilles heel waiting for an arrow to hit it.
Anyone else with different belief systems are attacked persistently in an ugly manner by some. They are shunned by others, and there is no real substantial community made with them.
I can be stubborn, nasty and I have no social hungers that effect me when some shun. I have learned to notch up to return fire for fire sent my way, and to be just as stubborn and stoic as I need to be to post.
Nothing but a ban will get rid of me, especially when effort is made to bad vibe me away.
I know that all these little Swift Boat games are going to decisively crumble, and I am going to rub people's faces in that. And that is just one subtask I look forward to.
And I will enjoy every second of it.

i don't think you have offended, salemguy. you're correct that everyone here has strong opinions, but obviously some are more vitriolic in their expression of them than others.
i understand that emotions are highly charged at election time with this one moreso than ever. for that reason, i'm allowing them to cyber-duke it out.
a. Anyone else with different belief systems are attacked persistently in an ugly manner by some. They are shunned by others, and there is no real substantial community made with them.
b. Nothing but a ban will get rid of me, especially when effort is made to bad vibe me away.
a. You're getting melodramatic. I know you have probably suffered hurt feelings from some of the posts but buck up and instead of attacking, why not present new information that supports your position. I took a minority conservative position some months ago on expanding SCHIPS and introducing universal healthcare, and though I was pummeled incessantly by a small group of posters, I stuck to my guns, presenting more articles of support for my position than they did for theirs and eventually I think I won over a few fence sitting people to my side of the debate. Everyone is rather emotional now because of the nearness of the election.
b. No one has ever expressed the desire - that I've read at least - to run you off the board or to ask for you to be banned. I recall christine the moderator of this board praising you for your articulate posts. And I personally have always valued your input and I would be one of your strongest supporters against anyone trying give cause for you to leave.

Hope you're not still scared, Lady X. The sky hasn't fallen, no one's been injured that I know of, sun rises, world turns....
I didn't take the insults personally, scrapper, don't worry about that. I was just wondering what positive contribution they made.
And now I understand my Bush-bashing was likely the problem. Well, to make you all feel better, I will be doing that until the day I die. His presidency has been an abomination. I only regret that he wasn't impeached and convicted. He deserved that. Don't speak his name to me unless you want your blood pressure to rise.
For the diehard neocons, out there, I'd offer up a couple web pokes for you to wallow in a while, starting with this short clip from the first:
Ken Duberstein endorsed McCain in 2000. They met in early 2007, McCain expected an endorsement, and this is Duberstein's recollection:
"I told John the right wing never wants to be satisfied; they're professional whiners," Duberstein remembers now. "They are never happy. So don't kill yourself trying. They will never trust you, no matter what you do for them."
Duberstein eventually endorsed Obama.
Whole article is very interesting, at http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1856613,00.html
For those neocons who can contain themselves long enough to read and learn from these short pieces, you'll perhaps gain an understanding of what us libruls are angry about.
