It baffles me that people are talking about leaving the country, committing treason, or other anti-Obama actions.
A large portion of those people claim to love and defend democracy.
By saying that Obama is the wrong choice is saying that democracy doesn't work and is wrong. The idea behind democracy is that the majority makes the decisions for the country. By subscribing to it as a choice form of government means that sometimes the nation will not decide the things that you believe.
THAT IS NOT A BAD THING!
You do not have to agree with the decisions made by the government, but if you think that democracy is the best form of government then you have to support then you have to be okay with any of the choices made.
Protest if you disagree, or wait until the next election and get out and push for more similar minded people to get out and vote. Only 64% of Americans voted this year. If we can get more people to vote we can get a more accurate representation for the nation's desires. From my personal encounters the Democrats were far more active in getting people out to vote which probably aided in the results in Colorado's presidential choice as well as the choice for the Colorado amendments, Congress and Senate.
There are things that people need to think about before they get up in arms about the decision that our country made. Please think about what to do next time around instead of planning on ways to escape the next four years.
