Here´s to hoping we all keep our jobs, the unemployed find new jobs, and Obama can´t do too much damage, and therefore focuses on different ways to get applause and adulation for himself. It´s the only way to keep him busy yet without harm to ourselves.

Happy New Year to one and all...may thing get better in your household!

Happy New Year everyone. Keep your heads up and your eyes on the prize.

Happy New Year one and all! Hang on! It´s going to be a bumpy ride!

Having some shrimp dumplings from Trader Joe´s and wonderful Korbel champagne.

I have high hopes for a "kick them where the sun don´t shine" year and will keep fingers crossed...and take back MY country. I can´t express the rage I really feel because my Irish temper would get me kicked out.

Happy New Year to all in 2013!

Happy New Year. I pray that in 2013 the Republicans in the House remember to read the Constitution and stand up to the Dictator-Wanna-Be Obozo and use the power of the purse to stifle this evil man and his agenda.

Boehner needs to stand up or stand aside.

My usual optimism is really being strained by the turn this country has taken and direction that was confirmed in November. God Help Us. Oh, and Obama Voters...you´re on your own, you´ll get NOTHING from me. Go ask your Uncle Sugar, I´m personally all tapped out.

Happy New Year to the staff of Lucianne.com and all the LDOTTERS who are the brightest people in the country and the only hope for our republic.

Happy New Year to everyone on the greatest site ever launched by the greatest family! It will be a happy one if LA gets a football team!! I cannot believe the Jets kept Rex Ryan.....

Remember! Breitbart Lives in 2013!!!

Best wishes to all. Party like it´s 1773...

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone.Be sure to take a moment to pray for our country and its moral rearmament.

I refuse to be beaten by the criminals in and around the White House. Perhaps some of the early GOP drop outs will raise their voices to take on this cabal.

Happy New Year, Lucianne and to your fine staff, too. Here´s to a much better 2012 for everyone.

To top off this great year, I just stopped up my garbage disposal. I came in to my computer to calm down before trying to fix it.

2013 has to be better!

Happy New Year everyone!! Here is to hoping the new year brings only good things to all of us. Stay strong!!

Happy New Year and here´s to a new year of excellent and pithy comments!

Thanks to all my fellow L-Dotters. This site is a fine oasis in a desert of emptiness.

And Happy New Year to all.

Happy New Year everyone, let us hope that 2013 is the best.

Happy New Year......one day closer to the end of the Obama era. Remember the old Charlie Brown strip, he´s walking out of the house with the weight of the world on his shoulders.
From inside comes a voice..."Have a good day Charlie Brown.........survive." That is my prayer every day for our wonderful country.......SURVIVE!

Two scientific predictions for 2013.

1) We are just over a week from breaking the record for the most number of consecutive days without a tornado fatality in the US (197). January is the safest month for tornadoes in the US, so we have a good chance.

2) There´s a comet coming in 2013 that could be a great show. Comet predictions have a terrible track record, so note the word "could."

Happy New Year to All.
My the Lord Bless and Keep You and Heal our country.

Best wishes for a New Year filled with health, wealth, & happiness for everyone!

Wishing everyone, especially Lucianne and her wonderful family and staff, a great, happy and healthy New Year.

We have our work cut out and will have to fight hard to keep our country from falling over the cliff into something we don´t know.

Gabula

Happy 2013 to all!

Free beer tomorrow!

Happy New Year to all.I´ve enjoyed reading everyones thoughts and ideas for a few years now.

All I can say is,keep pluggin away.Maybe we can restore this great nation some day.

Happy New Year to all,from the the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. Good luck and prayers for everyone in 2013.

Igor, my man. Beer for my horse, please.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to Lucianne, staff and every Ldotter!!!

And God bless America´s authentic patriots who have secured and maintained Life, Liberty and Justice for ALL throughout the history of the USA! We know that, ´´Freedom Isn´t Free,´´ but we cherish the bountiful blessings and possibilities which America´s Constitutional principles of respect for each individual´s inherent liberty provide.

God bless the USA and that personal Liberty for which it stands!

I am a born again optimist, so am looking for good things happening to good people...and trusting God with the rest. Greet the new year with hope and a smile and God bless you all...you are the best!

May this be a blessed and happy new year for all of us; and may health abound especially to our generous Hostess and her faithful staff.

To get our minds off the fake illnesses of various political actors in the news lately, I have put a platter of garlic bread sammiches at the end of the bar for those who forgot to eat hearty before clinking glasses in the new year. (Or for those who could get lost in a snow bank or a dense fog.)

How its done: 6 slices (purchased) frozen garlic bread--heat by directions on the package; top each with slice with dejon mustard, thinly sliced ham or turkey and some Swiss or Gruyère cheese. Toast lightly until cheese melts. Serve them on a pretty platter to mask how easy it is.

Happy New Year to all. Hopefully it will be a better year. We´ve gradually shifted New Years celebration from the 31st to the 1st, so nothing too exciting tonight. Have a safe and joyous night.

The happiest of all New Years to everyone who staffs L.com and to all who visit and share here.

May Obama not be able to completely wreck our country (please, Lord!!).

I am looking forward to reading everyone´s thoughts and hopes.

Blessings and best wishes to all l-dotters and staff. Have a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

A most happy new year to the Lucianne staff and all of the posters, from the north Georgia mountains. This web page has helped me in so many ways. I pray that 2013 will be a better year, personally and politically.

I did a lot of cooking/baking over the holidays, so my contribution to the virtual buffet is a Honey Baked Ham -all I have to do is pick it up and pay for it!

I have made sweet tea and have fresh shrimp at the ready. The Redskins won and now more football tonite. Stay safe,warm, and cheerful. and thank each of you for your virtual friendship. God is still on His throne. Happy New Year from Northern Alabama.

I´ll take a garlic sandwich with deli turkey on it. My crockpot of polish sausage in tomato sauce...aka ketchup and cranberry sauce...is beside the sandwiches.

Wish I could go back to my old name as I don´t feel like crashing anything.

Patrice d´Estawelle

Happy new year to all of our Ldotters friends. Here´s to our special friend Photoonist who seems to have given up the fight against this corrupt regime on November 6, 2012. I miss his posts and comments.

Tarragon chicken with my husband and Dad. We´ll probably be asleep before the ball drops. Everyone hang in there in 2013. I wish you all the best!

Happy New Year to all! Time for a little music, from Guy Lombardo. Step back in time, enjoy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2olK7cLP6KI

LawsyO, I arrived via cab ´cause I´m hoping Igor will introduce me to a music lover who will help me with my bag pipes when its time to leave.

Meanwhile, I put my minced clams on the coffee table next to the shrimp dip. Happy New Year dear Ms Lucianne and Staff.

If you will raise your glass tonight to our endangered Republic, let it include the boys of Lexington and Concorde who, when the King came for their guns, said, "HELL NO."

Tonight I also say, HELL NO!

Happy New Year.

Happy New Years from Utah!

A happy, healthy and blessed new year from our house to all the Lucianne family, the staff and all Ldotters. This country wasn´t destroyed by the civil war. We survived Pearl Harbor and successfully fought the Germans and Japanese simultaneously. A skinny Chicago street hustler is going to be a piece of cake by comparison, even with an allied MSM and an army of uninformed voters. Keep the faith.

Happy New Year and good health to all. I consider myself lucky, I remember growing up in the great State of Vermont, before the communists moved in, I remember how great California was before jerry brown became governor in the 70’s and things started to erode, and I remember how wonderful America was when the Democratic Party was full of patriotic folks, before carter, clinton and this wretched administration set out to destroy this noble Experiment in Democracy. But I still have hope thanks to all who share this forum.

Lazy pizza spread for this clan, but a hot and lightly spiced Tom & Jerry for all fellow L-Dots who wish to imbibe! God Bless and keep you well and sustained in this New Year. May He be ever on the side of righteous men!

I´m going to join my cousin and his wife at the San Diego Zoo for an early dinner, along with a group of friends. We always enjoy the company of the animals on New Years. They can´t regurgitate left-wing talking points, and they´re safely confined to cages, where the Left in this country belong.

It looks like 2013 is starting out to be the year of the venomous snake, a king cobra perhaps. Fortunately, snakes eat their young, so maybe Harry Reid will devour Nancy Pelosi, who will in turn be gobbled up by Robert Gibbs. Not that I wish ill on anyone, mind you...

They say it´s always darkest before the dawn-----if that´s the case, we will have dawn shortly!

A happy, prosperous, and blessed new year to all!

Happy New Year to the best people in the world (wide web)! I´ve made my annual New Year´s meat and veggie egg rolls as my contribution. I´m passing on any libations, though, as I may get to drive my daughter to the hospital to deliver a new granddaughter to our family at any moment! Her hubby is currently in Afghanistan, so I´m blessed to be his stand-in!

It´s been a tough year, but I´d just like to thank you all for your wit, wisdom and insight each and every day. I depend on it more than you can know. I wish you all of you lovely LDotters every blessing in 2013. Cheers!

Happy New Year to one and all, especially to our hosts and staff. Have a safe and blessed year!

Dear Ldotters,
2012 has been one heckuva year for me. I finally finished my divorce in July which went on for almost 3 1/2 years. I gave her everything there was to give money and property wise plus an extra $2,000.00 to top it off. It was wort every penny and more and I am happier now than ever in my life. My career as an Architect has hit bottom thanks to the economy. The good news is I went to school this month and now have a Security Guard license. I will continue on and become an armed guard and maybe I can protect children in schools in the future. Not sure what gun to buy. Thinking of a Sig Sauer 9mm, or the Smith & Wesson Sportsman 10mm. Probably will go with the 10. Bigger is better. Go ahead and make my day suckahs.... :-) 2013 is going to be awesome! Happy New Year to all!!!! JJ

Wishing all here at this special website a most Happy New Year. What ever would we do without our gracious Miss Lucianne? She and her wonderful staff are such a blessing each and every day. We WILL survive the next four years and am praying that our wonderful country will also. To Mama Elephant, congratulations and best wishes on the upcoming event. God bless.

Wishing Lucianne, Staff, family and fellow Ldotterrs a very happy, healthy, safe and prosperous New Year.

Bless you all.

Happy New Year to the best group of people on the web, and to the gracious Ms. Lucianne and her staff.

We will get through this. We have to.

So sorry to hear that, #36. Thanks for posting it, though.

Thanks for the shout-out, #39. Seems like Crasher and I are on the same wave-length re the garlic sandwiches. Maybe we´ll repel the vampires who would feed on the blood of our liberty.

A) Happy New Year!

B) Just three resolutions!

C) Don´t you wish Romney was getting ready.

D) As we just learned: so long as the children are OK nothing else matters.

And finally, God Bless and keep all who are serving, have served, their families and friends, and may we be among those who never forget.

Yes, 2012. I´m going to get very, very, very inebriated tonight. If we are still a democratic republic and the earth is not a radio-active ash heap in fourteen hundred and eighty days, would someone please awaken me and give me some black coffee?

Thank you Lucianne and Staff. You allow me to vent a lot of frustrations.

First, I am not a doctor, but many members of my family are. They all agree that the treatment of Hillary defies all medical logic. From her diagnosis of brain clot to the treatment of blood thinners. The usual result from such treatment is death. Sorry Hillary, but you know too much.

Happy 2013 everyone. Things can only get better.

Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year to all of you and especially to Lucianne and her family. Thanks for 12 plus years of sanity too.

Eagles up!

To Lucianne, WOW! From the idea to bring us this site, I bow to the vision and dedication of all involved. So much to be thankful for and only the ability to say so little. Again, Thanks.

To the L-Dotters and your contributions, Friends you enlighten me beyond the bounds of nation/state.

Happy New Year All! Be blessed in the knowledge that "Truth Prevails"

2013 begins my career as an author of "The Fighting Hawks at D-Day" an historical fiction to teach our kids the value of their freedom. Freedom isn´t free will no longer be just a slogan. One of the characters is my stepson who was killed in Iraq. Available on Amazon.

Please take time tonight to remember our military all over the globe fighting to keep us free. Please especially remember the families of the fallen in 2012. Tonight will be a very difficult night for them.

May God recognize that this country is still worth saving. There are still more of us than them.

Happy New Year fellow LDotters! It will be up to God, with our help, to save this great nation!

Happy New Year to all great LDotters, to our wonderful Hostess and her family, and to the Staff that helps keep this place on the ball.

Hagar has been busy shucking some delicious Chesapeake Bay oysters for us to enjoy as single fried oysters, all you can eat. If you prefer them raw, then we have those too. Blackeyed Peas are in the crockpot along with some yummy greens to round out the offerings. Sure hope someone else thought of homemade rolls and maybe some dessert....we got FAMILY to feed here!!

Some of you great folks join us the rest of the year on the Connection....we sure need all the good people we can get.

Bless you all.

I am also sad to see Photoonist disappear. What an amazing contributor and, poof! gone? Hazymac signed off, and I´m sorry to see him go as well. I hope they come back in the new year along with others who I may not have kept tabs on.

As for me, well, I really don´t feel like celebrating anything this evening. Do we have anything to look forward to? Is survival something to look forward to. I wish there was a bigger fight I could join in to defeat the hijackers who have stolen our country.

I resolve to do my part to go Galt in the New Year as I do think that is the best we can do short of a full-on revolution. Each individual needs to work to undermine Obama at every turn by simply not playing along -- don´t create wealth and don´t pay tax by not creating wealth. Live frugally. Find enjoyment in denying the leftists their golden eggs, as they cut us open to get them all now.

Glad to have a place to go for New Year´s Eve, lol. We seem to have hit this timeframe where the college kids get to go out and the teenagers still need rides because they need rides home, but we stay home! Ugh. I will be attending a Watchnight service tonight at church - my first, so I´m curious - but I´ll be glad to have a drink with you all in the meantime!

Hi everyone! Here´s to a happy, healthy and hopeful 2013 -- no matter what anybody else says. I´m not particularly religious in the traditional western fashion, but I love when I hear Christians say "I´ve already read the last chapter, and we win." Way cool. THAT´S the mindset that will get us through this beastly fix we´re in.

It´s cool and clear out here in the SoCal desert. New Years Eve is amateur night -- second only to St. Paddy´s maybe -- so I´m diving for cover safe at home this evening. A couple cocktails (ok, a few) and some fun on the phone with my out-of-state homies, a few pop-ins with you guys, and poof! it´s 2013. Up at 5:30 for an early morning desert bikeride, and that´s that. Life is good. Bring it.

Molon labe.

Happy New Year!

Well, Happy New Year´s Eve of Destruction, my friends.

Let us grasp each other´s hands, and all JUMP!

Should be a wild ride...... (don´t tell the libs!)

Thanks, Lawsy0, for the garlic sandwich recipe. Sounds delicious, and is about as complicated as I dare go in the kitchen.

Happy New Year to all my Ldotter friends, especially those who I´m not seeing around much anymore. It is my hope that they will eventually wander back home.

Happy New Year with heartfelt thanks to Lucianne and her fabulous staff. May the new year be filled with many blessings for you and yours.

Hard to be in a party mood when you´re teetering on the edge of the fiscal cliff and your beloved SOS is in hospital, but Happy New Year to all here and good riddance to 2012.

Also saw that on Election Day were Photoonist´s last post #36 and #53 ...

Hopefully he still lurks and will know how much we miss him... and maybe stop by and help me carry one of the magnum´s of bubbly from the back seat of Miss Lucianne´s pink caddy parked behind the diner... Stopped by our OC pizza bakery for three of their yummy white [extra] garlic and spinach pizzas, to keep with all y´all´s garlic theme ... and can carry them myself... And a virtual pound and a half of See´s dark chocolates for Miss Licianne and her team since she promised another song at midnight ... and a trip to see the Hop Bird at the Zoo at noon, which we hope will become a Blessed New Year´s Day tradition for all LDotters... xoxo

Another freaking new year the bamster et al will try and crush our spirit...our constitution...trash our church.... But hey L dotters and L sons will not let them win cheap.. Has been a gawdaful year.. The Hudson stopped 10 feet from the front door. Rex Ryan is still here ,ditto sanchez... Bloomy is more unhinged than ever ... Sooo here´s a stoli some , ice , a few olives.. Gotta hang tough..youse guys do make things bearable ...thank you Ms L , Igor all you brave hearts..

May 2013 be a damn sight better than 2012.

To all the Ldotter staff and all the Ldotter community, I wish happiness, peace and prosperity - in spite of the opposing gale force winds.

Happy New Year to all LDotters. I, too, am saddened by the departure of Photoonist on 6 November. His departure is a great loss to this forum. I only hope he may read our posts to learn how greatly he is missed. His comments were always the best.

Happy New Year to my Ldot family from south central PA. Sorry I already ate all the Brie. I received my latest Limbaugh Letter newsletter today. I´d like to share a little bit. The photo on the front is Rush wearing a tux. WOW! The back cover has an illustration by Mark Herron. It´s sad but at the same time deliriously funny. His creativity is suburb.

Thanks for the comfort and good laughs and also the tears from this wonderful group of like minded people.

After the election I was very upset and just happened to open the Bible to 1 Timothy 2: 1-3 and found my peace.

Thanks to Lucianne and all the staff. Happy new year to all and keep the faith.

The Chocolate Meringue Pie is cooling. My contribution to the New Year´s Day meal with family tomorrow.

Happy New Year to all!

You all are proof that the goodness in the heart of America still lives. God bless each of you and your loved ones.

Lucianne has made this a place of comfort and solace for more years than I can count.

Thank you so much.

May Lucianne and her loved ones have the best of health and happiness in the coming year.

Known in all the fashionable circles for my signature dish, “M?O?N!’s Elegant Velveeta-Slathered Ritz Cracker,” I’ve elected to contribute a freshly prepared antique crystal tray of them to the festivities. Bon appétit! And may 2013 be all you wish it to be. ’12 couldn’tve been much worse.

I wish for a Happy New Year for all.
2013 is as yet an unknown, and perhaps miracles will happen. We have to believe.

Happy New Year to all & God save our beloved Republic! I´ve brought chips & queso & skinny margaritas. Texas Forever!

Happy New Year to Lucianne and all Ldotters. god bless all of you.Here is hoping that we have a better year in 2013 than we have had since that person has been in the White House.God Bless and take care of all of us.

Red State America--Happy New Year!

Emperor Bam Bam, the MSM and the rest of the Democrats--SHOVE IT

I wish dear Lucianne and her family, the incredibly dedicated, talented staff and all of you wonderful L-Dotters a very healthy and happy 2013. 2012 was a killer with the disastrous ruling on 0bamacare and the even more disastrous re-election of the malevolent 0bama and all that that brings. It´s been a tough one. I too wondered what happened to Photoonist. There is definitely a void without him and his posts.

I have been avoiding the news for the last few days. I´m sick of hearing "fiscal cliff" over and over again. There´s only so much you can tolerate. I don´t know what we would do without this port in the storm during these difficult times where we can all comisserate over the difficulties are we facing in our nation. My best to all of you for 2013. We will all persevere somehow.

Happy New Year to Miss Lucianne, staff, and all of my fellow L-dotters.

In a crazy world, we help each other maintain some sanity. Together, we can hang in there.

Happy New Year Ldotters, Lucianne & your awesome staff. Y´all are a bright light in a sea of gloom & doom. Peace & prosperity to all of you in 2013!!

May God bless ALL of the fine American Patriots on this site. Ms. Lucianne has done a wonderful thing for America. She has brought like thinking Americans together. Bravisimo! And Happy Hew Year.

Happy New year to all. My New Year resolution is to be positive. We are strong and we will overcome.

Happy New Year to Lucianne, her staff and all of you.

We have to pray that 2013 is better because it´s been a long hard year thanks to Zippy.
Let´s hope somebody in Washington is willing to man up.

Don´t forget to eat your blackeyed peas for good luck.

Proud to be an L.com poster.

Happy Better-Than-Last New Year!

Dittos all...#36 sorry to hear that, I had been curious...Sorry for all our losses this year and praying for new blessing in the next year...and next election...May God Bless all my LDOTTER friends...

Happy New Year to dear Lucianne, her incredible staff and all of the L.dotters who make the political climate bearable these days. A few of you have become personal friends, and my life is richer for knowing you!

As of 50 PM 12/31/12, I am John Galt.

Happy New Year to all the Ldotters and real Americans. We will over come and stand tall even as the US burns and crashes under Obama and the fiddling congress. Hang in there. tighten your belts and then we will get back our country. Happy New Year 2013 and keep your powder dry.

I, too, am proud to be an L.Com poster. So many years have passed, and Lucianne, Staff and L dotters have allowed me to remain halfway sane. Hope all of us have God´s blessings in 2013.

I have really missed Photoonist. I really hope he comes back but realize that he was very disappointed about Obama´s re-election.
Happy New Year to all of you and for just being there.
No matter what the results I still love my country. My 17 yr old refrig gave up today. I picked up the phone and in 2 hrs, I had a new refrig delivered and the old taken away. Where in the world could you do that? Remember that simple joys matter.

Happy New Year to all! Thank God for Lucianne and this site. Without it and each other we´d all be nuts! The new year isn´t starting off well but I guess there´s always hope. Hope all of you have a great year in spite of HIM!

One Bourbon...One Scotch...and one Beer....!

Wink at Miss Lucianne, you are a game changer my dear!

Happy new year to all.

Don´tcha think Photoonist is posting under another name now - just gone underground to continue the fight? Ya gotta keep on keepin´ on.

Do you think some egg nog will settle the chili I had earlier?

God´s special blessings on our country in the year 2013 and years to come. Please, God, keep our country free. Let the dreams of the wonderful people in this country be realized and help us to be thankful for that.
Happy New Year!!!!!!

Happy New Year to all the L dotters out there. Your wit is my constant source of sunshine. Your insights and love most appreciated. Hope for a healthy productive New Year. Thanks to Lucianne for being such a fantastic hostess.

Happy New Year, folks. Best to all as we enter our "Teens". The Galt idea is seeming more attractive all the time. I´ve been running the numbers and it just might be feasible with a little frugality and some good relationships with the right people. Maybe just 1/2 Galt for now. We´ll see.

Happy New Year, belove Ldotters, Ms. Lucianne, and all of the hard working staff that keep everything going.

2012 was a rough year between losing AB, then later, the election. It has been the wonderful people here that have made going forward with hope, possible. We´ve already been to Mass, and prayed for our country, our enlisted, and our loved ones. We must endure.

I left a wonderful selection of hot Hors d´oeuvres- including our family favorite, hot beef and horse radish toast points- on the bar. The wine is on it´s way.

Love to all, and prayers for all of those who have taken a vacation from this family. Until they return, we will hold them in our memories, and welcome them when they are back.

Here´s to 2013!

Spousal Unit Prime would not approve of my partaking in garlic anything. I must obey!
I´m with #64 the pros are staying home!

Thank you all for keeping me frustrated and entertained throughout the year. I deeply appreciate each and every post. Your opinions matter to me in that it helps me see different viewpoints. I apologize in advance to they whom my words fail to convey my thoughts, it is not my intention to offend...but it is fun to see when I stick my other foot in my mouth.

I´ve been here a while as your grateful guest. I am not, nor will be one of the beautiful people or of the privileged class. Thank you for being such a gracious hostess.
