Pundits all around thought that not only would Virginia’s 13 electoral votes go to GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney, but that also at least another 257 votes would go the same way.
With the president’s re-election, a storeowner in Bedford, VA was saddened and dismayed and advertised that fact in his shop windows. The most prominent one proclaimed that the store was “Closed to mourn the loss of the America our forefathers endowed to us.”
The signs were displayed on Wednesday, but according to WDBJ-TV, one sign indicated, ”Lyons will reopen tomorrow to continue the fight against a president who seeks my demise” and “Shame on VA & USA.”
Yet another sign played off a remark the president made during a campaign stop at a Roanike, VA fire station that business-owners “didn’t build that.” The sign simply said, “I know I didn’t build this — God did.”
In response, a customer hung a sign outside the store which read: “I am sorry you feel this way!!! I do bussiness [sic] I guess I will take it somewhere else!!”
When he reopened, R.T. Lyons, the shop’s proprietor said, “I just didn’t feel like coming to work. There are many days I feel like that as a small business owner.”
As for his mourning process, Lyons said, “I don’t know how many steps there are, but I went through them yesterday.”
I know just how he feels.

Mr Lyons I know how you feel. We didn’t lose our forefather in this election only. We lost them when they desided to stop teaching them in school. They took prayer out in 1962 and its been a steady slippary slope as they say. The class room has been turned into a giant experemental lab to see how our children fits into this politacally correct social club. Its more important for them to learn how to put condoms on a banana or why Jonny has 2 dads and Sussie has 2 mothers. We do not teach them the Bill of Rights, the Constitution or anything of importance. The learn all these video games and they have all the toys any kids could want to the point parents use them as babysitters. Why teach them how to read and write or do math. It is really sad but the more the government gets involve and the more they put into things the more they produce. Look at who is in office Pulosi, Harry Reid, Obama, how do they get into the possions they get into. Ignorance. People they breed in the classroom and keep them ingnorant. Give them things to appease them so they will vote for them. A Santa Claus every day. (on of my weaknesses is spelling I’m not very good, there is not any spell check on facebook).
I know how you feel! I have a business and have been struggling for the past 4 years and it looks like it’s only going to get worse! There is no way I can stay in business and pay for all the new tax increases, Obamacare, and then my regular payments, and employees. He just put the final nail in my coffin!
we now know how obama won it was by desighn -he simply planned to close as many buisneseses that might vote for romney knowing that most homeless and jobless wont vote – i say it was treasonous and i want him charged with that for deliberately ruining our economy just to get elected.
shouldnt be hard to prove just look closer at the unreasonable regulations that forced soooo many buisimeses to close.
I am heartbroken. I feel like my country died. I am renting my house, and moving to Europe. I am not going to pay taxes to support illegal aliens and welfare hoes. I am not paying taxes so that Obama can sign executive orders and give millions of our tax dollars to enemy muslim countries. I am also going to stop contributing to the charities that assist the Obama leeches. The Salvation Army pays the utilites of welfare people twice a year, they are off my list. I will no longer take the name of a child off a tree and buy him a present. Tell his parents to get a job, or maybe sell their Obama phone. No more giving to food pantries where the welfare hoes go to get food for their kids to make up for the EBT they used to buy steaks for the man of the week. I will continue to give to the soup kitchen where poor Americans go and to agencies that aid poor native Americans like Adoptanelder.com. But never again will I give a penny to any agency that helps welfare recipients.
