Thankfully, Obama's not Palpatine.

Obviously I don't think he'll be good for the country. But it's a tough country- it'll survive fairly intact.

I really hope that Republicans can come out of this election with more or less that attitude- because it was really obnoxious four and eight years ago to listen to people moan about how Bush would be the death of America. (Apparently, he wasn't.) Now that it's our turn to be on the outs, let's not do the same thing.

Though, Palpatine didn't look or act like The Emperor when he first took office. ;-)

That's the vibe I am feeling at the moment. I am a very worried conservative right now.

Fortunately, the Judicial Branch will be able to prevent any blatantly unconstitutional stuff he tries to push through Congress.

I'll happily be proven wrong, but right now I have the feeling like a large portion of Obama supporters didn't vote for what they thought they were voting for. Or had not idea what they were voting for and voted anyway.

I agree with some of the stuff I've seen out there, that we should stand behind Obama as our president to help him get our country back on its feet. This, however, does not mean I won't stand in steadfast opposition to him if he tries to turn this nation socialist or other such things that I believe are not going to better our country.

Weird. I'm dead positive Padme said "democracy" instead of "liberty" in the version I watched. But I agree. I was also reminded of Augustus Caesar's initial demeanor last night.

We must keep our Senate seats so that we can at least do what we can to derail the communist tide. Then we have a bunker of sorts.

And by the same level of respect, I will blast Obama for anything I disagree with him upon. Of course there will be a double standard. I'll be called a racist for disagreeing with him.

I have no problem with a Black president. I just have a problem with him. Lots of them. I weep for the unborn and the Iraqis. Conservatism is not dead. As long as I draw breath, there will be at least one left alive.

At least until I get silenced by the Thought Police. And I don't see that being far off.

I'm just saying that my eye will be watchful. When I didn't like what my party was doing, I spoke out about it as well.
