Eric Dondero on his future plans, posted the day after the reelection of Barack Obama:
However, for me, I’m choosing another rather unique path; a personal boycott, if you will. Starting early this morning, I am going to un-friend every single individual on Facebook who voted for Obama, or I even suspect may have Democrat leanings. I will do the same in person. All family and friends, even close family and friends, who I know to be Democrats are hereby dead to me. I vow never to speak to them again for the rest of my life, or have any communications with them. They are in short, the enemies of liberty. They deserve nothing less than hatred and utter contempt.
I strongly urge all other libertarians to do the same. Are you married to someone who voted for Obama, have a girlfriend who voted ‘O’. Divorce them. Break up with them without haste. Vow not to attend family functions, Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas for example, if there will be any family members in attendance who are Democrats.
Do you work for someone who voted for Obama? Quit your job. Co-workers who voted for Obama. Simply don’t talk to them in the workplace, unless your boss instructs you too for work-related only purposes. Have clients who voted Democrat? Call them up this morning and tell them to take their business elsewhere.
Have a neighbor who votes for Obama? You could take a crap on their lawn. Then again, probably not a good idea since it would be technically illegal to do this. But you could have your dog take care of business. Not your fault if he just happens to choose that particular spot.
And start your boycott of your Democrat friends and family today. Like this morning. First thing you can do, very easy, is to un-friend all Democrats from your Facebook account.
Go read the whole thing, it gets even better. (But there is a mild language warning.)
Really, he’s only advocating behavior the Democrats already endorse. But anyway, even if I don’t follow his advice at least he made me laugh really hard, which I haven’t done in a few days. I may even be doing this subconsciously anyway. I was at the grocery store today and found myself looking away from people in the aisles because I didn’t want to be the least bit friendly to anyone who may have voted for Barack Obama or Dan Maffei. Usually I smile at people, or say hello. Not anymore. Or at least not this week.
Oh, and does anyone nearby have a dog you want walked? I’d be happy to help out.
I would insist on a US House investigation of election fraud and those found guilty interned in GITMO!
Starting from the top down!
We need to take control of the senate in 2014 so elected and appointed officials can be impeached!

When I went to my job at the bakery on Tuesday morning the dishwasher working there asked if I had voted, and I said, ‘Yes, I did.’ Then he asked, “Who did you vote for?” and I replied, ‘Romney, and you?’ “Obama!” he answered with gusto. I thought I’d search a bit deeper into his psyche and asked, ‘Why?’ And he said “When freakin’ Bush was president I didn’t have a job, but when Obama became president…I got a job.” Puzzled, I asked, ‘Bush was in office for eight years, and you didn’t have a job all those years?’ “No,” he said, “only since Obama was president.” ‘And when did you get your first job under Obama’s first term?’…to which he replied, “At the beginning of the summer…here.” With eyebrows conspicuously raised I pressed further, ‘This is the first job you’ve had in twelve years?’ “Yep, so I guess I owe it to Obama.” ‘Well,’ I remarked ‘I suppose that’s as good a reason as any I’ve heard….’ withholding my ending thought ….coming from an Obama voter.
When I went to work the following day the recently employed dishwasher was not at his usual post, the three well sink. I asked one of the counter girls where [unnamed dishwasher] was? She said, “Oh, [unnamed owner] had to let him go.” ‘Really! Why, what happened?’ “It was some tax thing, or something like that,” she replied. ‘Uh-huh….I see,’ said I.
Well, those of us who didn’t vote for Obama know exactly why this fellow lost his job. Unfortunately for him he may never quite figure it out. His first job in twelve years lost to economic attrition. Wonder if he has any “freakin’” ill feelings toward Obama today.

He’ll probably blame it on Bush.

Just out of spite and stubbornness, I’m still wearing my “I Heart Romney/Ryan” button everywhere I go (except to work, where I’d get fired). Looking for a bumper sticker to place over the “Chicks for Mitt” one….something like “Soylent Green in 2016.”

Ugh. I’m a twenty year old in New Jersey and I have a sister a few years older than me who’s a hardcore feminist liberal. She already said on Facebook she wants nothing to do with anyone supporting Romney – a moderate no less! We actually get along okay just for having grown up together, but it puts a bit of a strain. The worst thing is that she recently started working as a high school history teacher for poor minority students. She said during the debates she taught her students about graft when Romney promised a college kid a job. I’m a little horrified, a little disgusted, and mostly sad that what she’s teaching these poor students will never help them out of poverty. Oh, and even worse. Our parents are upper middle class and she lives only a half hour away, but she’s on food stamps. Our dad offered to give her grocery money, but she decided she wanted to act like a victim. She’s stealing money from people she doesn’t know when she could easily just accept money as a gift from someone she does know. If that’s not immorality I don’t know what is.

I know she’s your sister, but you should unfriend her. Immediately. She needs to be shunned.

Boycotts rarely work. If 3 mil conservatives didn’t care enough to get to their tushes to the polls Nov 6, they will not join any boycotts. Having said that, I personally don’t buy products that sound creepy, like everything labeled “fair trade”. Some lefties went to Columbia and bought coffee… from whom? No, thanks. I buy non-”fair trade” coffee.

@David
There are many families in which similar situations exist. There isn’t a lot of advice anyone can give your sister if she won’t listen to the ones who care most about her. The best thing I have to offer, always keep an open mind, an open door and an open heart. She may be in need of those refuges one day.
