Chuck Norris threatens '1,000 years of darkness' if Obama wins

A video released this weekend by action movie hero Chuck Norris claims that America faces "1,000 years of darkness" if President Barack Obama is reelected.

"If we look to history, our great country and freedom are under attack," Norris warns, standing next to his wife. "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."

The pair go on to explain that Obama won in 2008 because more than 30 million evangelical Christians stayed home on Election Day. "We know you love your family and your freedom as much as Gena and I do, and it is because of that we can no longer sit quietly or stand on the sidelines and watch our country go the way of socialism or something much worse," Norris explains.

Quoting President Ronald Reagan, Norris's wife Gena adds that defeating Obama "will preserve for our children this last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into 1,000 years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done."

Norris has been an outspoken critic of Obama's since even prior to the 2008 election. He's claimed in recent years that the Christian savior character Jesus would have been aborted by his mother if "Obamacare" were available 2,000 years ago, claimed that American progressives want to enshrine Islamic moral codes into U.S. law, and accused the Obama administration of trying to force the Boy Scouts to adopt a "pro-gay" position.

He also warned in 2008 that if Mitt Romney won the Republican presidential nomination, he'd "buy the White House." Norris hasn't repeated that particular criticism this election cycle.
