His CV is that he is passionate and when there is work to do, he gets to work. People over party to swipe Brown's good, but unoriginal, tag line. The question is what happens with the Tea Party Horror show over the next 2/4 years.

If the most successful business executive to ever run for president can't get elected with 23 million people out of work and an 8 percent unemployment rate, than it's over. No incumbent President in history has won reelection under those conditions. Mitt Romney didn't just lose an election, America lost its foundation.

This is the new America. And it will slowly start to become something foreign to many of us. Kindly check your individualism and creativity at the door. Wealth creators need not apply or we will confiscate it. For every dollar you create you will redistribute to others who did not earn it. If you complain we will have the United Nations seize your firearms and you will be eliminated.

Does this sound far fetched? Do you not think this scenario couldn't unfold here in America in the next 15 to 20 years?

Tonight is the official beginning of the end of the Republic. The America we all thought we knew and love has become a figment of our imagination. Like a dream that is so amazing and spiritual that you just knew it had to be real. Only to wake up and realize it was just a dream from a long time ago.

Some reading this might think I’m just angry or sullen because of the President's reelection.The fact of the matter is it’s more than just sadness. Mitt Romney didn’t lose tonight, America did. Every entrepreneur, businessman, and risk taker was just reminded that creativity and individual success is no longer celebrated and eventually might not even be tolerated. You see, this election was not just about winning an election; it was about preserving the core foundation in which the country was founded upon. And we blew it.

Newt calling Obama an "anti-colonialist" and intending it to be an insult.

O'Reilly bemoaning that 50% of the country just wants "stuff" and then naming Blacks and Hispanics a moment later.
