Saw this image tooling around the internet last night.
This election result really is the End of the Line ™ for some people. Interestingly, the illustrator isn’t blaming Obama as much as the judges he’ll (allegedly) appoint (‘first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers’). The cartoonist is from Colorado, a state that (narrowly) flipped from Red to Blue.

I see your creepy image and raise you a thread full of any-second-now-the-world-will-end Christians wondering why God spat in their face.
That’s really quite disturbing the more you get into it. Not because it’s full of insults (that’s something at which we secular types tend to excel) but because they really do think that fire (or something even more toxic) is going to rain down on their heads. It’s the pentecostal version of ‘We’ll all be rooned, said Hanrahan, before the Year is out’.
At least the Oz poet was talking about a drought. Droughts really do ruin people.

Yeah, there was a Janet Albrechtsen piece in The Australian which outlined the horror of an Obama appointed progressive judiciary.
Thing is that both sides of politics appoint judges who they think will be “friendly” to their causes. You can’t protest about the other side of politics doing it without implicitly criticising your own side for appointing partisan judges.
Personally, I hate the notion that only “politically friendly” judges are appointed. I want competent and honest judges, and just because someone has views that are different to mine doesn’t mean he or she will make a bad judge.

It’s Bristol Palin’s fault. Fornicator!

Hear hear.
There was a scene in a Tom Clancy novel (I know, I know) where the President got his A-G to prepare a short profile of every suitable Supreme Court candidate, without their names on it.
Wouldn’t work for Obama. He’d recognise them from their decisions.
