       In the run up to the current election, wingnuts of all stripes were predicting quick disaster for the United States if Barack Obama was elected president.  We would be lucky to still be existing on January 21, 2009.   All types of bad things were predicted by these nutters.  Obama would move the total population of Kenya to the United States ASAP.  He was a secret Islamic terrorist who would institute sharia law and build a mosque in every town in the country, and then force everybody to bow down to Allah.  Or he would head a move by the Chicago mafia to new headquarters in D.C. to carry on their nefarious business.  Sound pretty crazy?  To anyone with an ounce of common sense, yes.  To the right-wing nutters who wouldn’t know a fact if it bit them in the behind, no.  They spread this stuff around the net day after day, and, sad to say, some folks actually fell for it.

      Much to the wingnuts’ chagrin, nothing close to their overwrought  pre-election rhetoric occurred. It was just the usual changing of the guard, as easy as always.  Of course, just because all their idiotic warnings never came to fruition, doesn’t mean they have learned any lessons.  They’ll be around for the next four years, making similar nutty predictions as they have before, and they will be found to be just as ridiculous as before, and the country will just keep moving ahead without them.
