Last night after they called it for Obama, I immediately logged onto Facebook to see what the multitudes of Conservatives were saying abotu the outcome. I knew people would be upset, but some of the things I read were downright shocking and scary. There are people out there (people I know!) that are so racist and…well, redneck…that they can’t get past the fact that an African-American was elected President. The following list is a compilation of Facebook status updates that popped up after the election was called. Prepare yourself, because this is scary to think that conservatives in Arkansas are actually thinking this kind of garbage. With this response to Obama, and with the passing of Act 1, I am completely embarrassed and ashamed to be from Arkansas. At least Pulaski County and Little Rock (where I vote) voted FOR Obama and AGAINST Act 1.Here’s the status updates my friends and I found:
“…at least Arkansas didn’t support him. Its sad the intelligent people have to pay for the ignorance of others. RIP America.”
“…don’t get too excited just yet, Liberals. He won’t make it to the inauguration. Hitler gave great speeches, too.”
“hooray bring on more taxes.”
“_______ thinks we are doomed.”
“_______ is dumbfounded… Who wants to move to England? We need to pray for our nation now more than ever…”
“today is a very dark day in history.”
“_______ is loving the idea of killing more babies and less deer. Loving a lottery that won’t give scholarship money ot anyone and enslave the poor. (sarcasm)”
“_______ is hoping everyone has been living their life right for the end is near”
“_______ thinks she might be selling everything and moving to Mexico! It’s a good thing that I LOVE MEXICO!”
“_______ would like all the people running around screaming outside to enjoy it before the world ends.”
“Pray for our nation and our new “leader”. We’re gonna need all the help we can get. America, we’re screwed.”
“Well, it was nice knowing you USA and guns… Hello Socialism! L ”
“YeP…WeRe SCREWED. I can’t WAIT 2 GIVE AL My TaX DoLLaRS 2 LaZY PeOpLe ThAt DON’T wANT 2 WORK!!”
“obama blows”
“Please no… really?!”
“moving to Canada.. anyone coming with?”
“Fuck.. gotta move to Australia or something.”
“Going to throw up now, and .. watch my future and my children’s futures go down the toilet because of the far leaning left that is now in control of the US.”
“Welcome to East Africa, est 2008”
“planning on quitting my job because I will probably make more if I am living on the national government now! awesome!”
“So, America is fucked. Period. Thanks you ill-informed voters in swing states for letting this happen. You’re too blind to even see that you’re blind!”
“so which lazy mother f*cker wants my paycheck first?”
“PISSED HOW THE ELECTION TURNED OUT HAS EVERYONE LOST THEIR MIND?”
“At least it wasn’t a woman.”
“Obama sounds too much like osama.”
“…well, we’ve got until January. Start packing.”
“_______ will now be supporting a family of five that she isn’t related to.”
“Our country is now in the hands of Al-qaeda. You thought 9/11 was bad, you f*cks just wait.”
"___________ is thinking the world will end!"
"___________ hopes America is happy that they elected the muslim."
"____________ will never take orders from a muslim president."
"It’ll be OK! He’s not completely black. He’s still half ours!"
