MORE Sanity breaks out on the Right...
Red State:We try hard to be a serious website where serious-minded people can interact and a website that can be read and quoted in the media and in political circles without people laughing and pointing. You can’t do that when your comments section is infested with people espousing various conspiracy theories.

This last election was a hard loss of all of us, even those of us who were never Romney fans. I think we all realized the limitless ability to harm the nation that Barack Obama and his minions represents. Be that as it may, the people have spoken (the bastards) and we are saddled with this guy for another four years.
If we are going to move beyond this we have to face the facts. We were out hustled. They turned out their base and we couldn’t be bothered to turn out ours, much less do what it takes to win uncommitted voters. We lost. They won. And the nation will suffer because of it.
What did not happen was any “stealing” of the election. No one denies that there were irregularities in some places but the sum total of the allegations do not reach Kennedyesque proportions where they actually affected the outcome in any material way. This is nonsense and just as silly when people on our side make the claim as when the left howled about Diebold machines giving the 2004 election to President George W. Bush (President… George… W. … Bush, my gosh that sounds so beautiful today).

at least the post is mostly reasonable.
Except for--
" I think we all realized the limitless ability to harm the nation that Barack Obama and his minions represents."
That gets my goat. I am not a minion.
I used to go to Ebbets Field !! 
don't know why. 
They got 47% percent out to vote.. that's a hellava lot of brainwashed people.
"George Bush sounds beautiful today".. I rest my case.
