And Now, The Schadenfreude...

Some random samplings from Free Republic, Michele Malkin and Gates of Vienna:

"So, is this the Fall of the Eastern Empire we’re witnessing - the last light of civilization (or in our case, freedom) diminishing and leading to the Dark Ages?"

"I wonder if this is how the Romans felt when they saw the barbarians coming down on them..:-("

"The hatred comes from Satan himself, from the pit of hell. He has been in severe spiritual warfare ever since he announced his candidacy. Satan couldn’t fulfill what he wanted to in our nation because of Mr. Bush’s faith in God. Now he has free will. Hope all you bashers are proud of yourselves. (I don’t mean you.)"

"Who would like to see some Republicans come out and say I'm pissed off we lost? I'm mad as hell, and would like to break something. I'm already mad and seeing Republican after republican come out and talk about the "historic" context of this election, ticks me off even more!!"

"The flag is currently hanging upside-down in our window. Not that it matters; we are in CA. I always felt the GOP would have to crash and burn before they got their act together again; even when they mimic socialists, they can’t get elected."

"A true patriot will tell the government to go to hell when they are about to ruin your country. That's what I'm saying here- Hussein can go to hell. I wouldn't cross the street to piss on Hussein if his hair was on fire."

"This country has elected a corrupt neophyte, which I guess makes us just like Europe now. You may be right about them loving it, but they’ll be singing a different tune when Iran is shoving nukes up their butts and we’re wallowing in economic depression with hardly any military to speak of. Oh well… welcome to the People’s Republik of Amerika."

"A dark hour for the U.S. and the world. The fulfillment of scripture cannot be far behind. Come Lord Jesus!"

"Our long national nightmare is just beginning. I’m gonna miss Sarah Palin. F U B O. And all your idiotic supporters too."

Last night, at the Official Chaotic Good Election Party, we toasted the networks calling the election with a fine Macallum single-malt, and dined on sweet schadenfreude pie as McCain made his concession speech.

There will be much work to do in the months and years to come, to make sure that we never get another village idiot as president. But today, let's enjoy the sweet smell of success... we earned it.
