First, the bad news.
If the election were held today, Obama would win in a near-landslide. Scott Rasmussen reports that Obama has opened significant leads in 4 out of the 5 main battleground states that will determine the next President.
The culprit? The economy and the fact that many Americans erroneously blame Bush for it. Thus, the ignorant assume that anyone who is Republican is automatically to blame.
Unless something major happens to turn this thing around very soon, we are looking at not only an Obama Presidency but a significantly strengthened Democratic majority in Congress.
And now, the good news.
This may be ultimately the best possible thing for the country. Nothing will serve to wake up, motivate, and energize the vast conservative mainstream in this country than for voters to elect a gang of leftwing radicals to run both the White House and Congress.
You think the present economic crisis is bad? Just wait until this bunch gets full control of the government. We are looking not only at a recession but a severe depression on a scale never before witnessed in the history of this country--just the scenario needed to open a window for leftwing radicals to move in to force their liberty-robbing agenda on a vastly weakened Republic.
The ensuing catastrophe in the economy and in social structures will thrust the country into such disarray that the electorate will demand the ouster of the radicals in Congress and in the White House, either by impeachment or by waiting until the next election cycle to clean house.
Thus, in the long run, an Obama Presidency and a 60-seat majority for the Democrats in the Senate may be the best thing to happen to the country.
The question is, how much irreparable damage will this team of extremists do in the meantime?
We may be forced to live through some of the most painful, tumultuous years in modern times because of the big electoral mistake Americans are about to make. We all will suffer atrocities that have not been witnessed in this country since the Civil War.
The end of the troubled times, no doubt, will result in a massive sweep by conservatives who will be chosen by the citizens to bring back some sanity to Washington. But unfortunately the electorate will not listen to these conservatives unless a massive national political catastrophe occurs.
At present we are headed for that very catastrophe in November.

I must disagree. I truly believe an Obama win will result in a level of violence that will destroy this nation.
I wish I didn't believe it, but I will not passively suffer the atrocities of which you speak and I do not believe I am alone.
That is certainly a possibility. I would hope that before we allow Obama and liberal Democrats to destroy this nation, enough patriots would rise up in defiance.
But I could be wrong....
Plus, the ensuing violence may not destroy the nation but be a precursor to a renewal of liberty rising out of the ashes...
What say you?
It's like someone (was it Woody Hayes?) used to say about the forward pass: "Three things can happen, and two of them are bad."
The other potentially bad thing is related to the unfortunate fact that there are conservatives, and there are, ahem, "conservatives:" "national greatness" types who decide that the national honor (and the parlous state of the economy) demand that it be a Bad Day for many a mother's son. Some might have it coming to them, but a lot more won't.
I don't personally hold with conspiracy theory (meaning no slight to them as do), but it doesn't take a conspiracy theorist to recognize the possibility that the other thing that could rise out of the ashes is Kratman's Empire.

I have been debating a "lose the battle, win the war" theory. However the will of the "mob populace" is at best fickle. I believe there are AT LEAST the 3% we are aware of. With todays complacency in the Union, will it be enough this time? That is the hold in my lack of an answer. How do you iform those who are "wrong" that you are "right" without becoming despot yourself? Choosing freedom is easy, demanding.... that is a whole other set of rules. I am scared, but await the trials that are coming. May liberty shine again.
