    No. No one is.

    Our economy is crashing. Credit lines are shot. The housing / real estate market is dead. Foreign investors are fleeing. Everyone's retirement is at *least* half gone.

    And to cap it off, people's emotions have led them to blame the Republicans. We have a Democratic majority Congress led by Nancy Pelosi. Now, we are potentially on the verge of electing a socialist-leaning President in Barack Obama. Frankly, I would accept a dying economy if it means we get to keep the American Dream alive - not a Welfare State like in Canada or England. I do not believe in redistribution of wealth, or punishing the rich and successful just to give welfare to the poor.

    Wake up America, before it's too late. Be pissed at the Republicans. Be pissed at the Democrats. But do not, do not, DO NOT, trade away our one great freedom on November 4.
