Chuck Norris: Obama Re-election to Bring 1000 Years of Darkness (Video)

The Internet's already dampening down the sharing flames of the "Eastwooding" meme of sharing photos of pointing one's finger at an empty chair, in honor of Clint Eastwood's mystifying rambling at a chair during last week's Republican National Convention. Just in the nick of time, something really interesting comes along to re-fan the social flames...

On September 1st, long-standing Internet share-a-saurus Chuck Norris released a heartfelt and over the top GOP "Get out the Vote" video. Oh, you gotta watch this one...

In the video's lengthy description, Norris and his wife Gena call evangelical Christians to action, warning them to get off their Total Gyms and act quickly "across the nation to join him in crushing the creep of socialism under President Obama." Citing 30 million evangelicals declining to vote in 2008, wife Gena reminds those viewing the YouTube gem that President Obama only won the election by 10 million votes.

Quoting the late Republican President Ronald Reagan, Norris' wife Gena stated "We will preserve for our children this last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness." Strong words, indeed. Why don't you take a round-house journey into two minutes of iron-staring doom and gloom...

The two minute video is peppered with strong warnings for anyone willing to listen. "If we look to history, our great country and freedom are under attack. We're at a tipping point and, quite possibly, our country as we know it may be lost forever if we don't change the course in which our country is headed."

Quoting 18th Century philosopher Edmund Burke, the chin-fisted one stated "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men and women do nothing." An unusual choice of quotes, given the very socially progressive body of beliefs Burke held while alive, including that of "a sense of the responsibility of the educated, rich and powerful to improve the lot of those whom they directed."

As many stated to those in attendance at tonight's Democratic National Convention, it is the responsibility, as Burke himself would put it, of those who have been blessed with so very much to pay it forward to others in need.

Twitter responded with commentary and a searchable #1000YearsofDarkness hashtag...

After enjoying the DNC's first powerful night of rousing speeches, I just might opt for 2,000 years.
