President Barack Obama was reelected. In a distinct move toward socialism, the old adage came true that if a liberal Republican is pitted against a Democrat, then the Democrat wins. Republicans will be sour for a while. They will ask what went wrong, but in the end, it was the choice of the establishment, left-winger for the so-called "conservative" candidate that did them in. People read through the lies and flip-flops.

The good news is that with the makeup of the Senate and Congress, I predict deadlock for the next four years, and that is a good thing in many ways.
