Any of you pessimists that want to move to another country, do us a favor and GO AHEAD. You sound like those crybaby actors wailing about moving to Canada if Bush got re-elected. While the portents are bad they are not yet catastrophic. I mean REALLY catastrophic. 1932 FDR – Wiemar Germany catastrophic. Get a grip. If the Socialist monolith approaching landfall on Jan 20 is so hell bent on the End of Capitalism, why is Obama making so many bipartisan CYA noises instead of calling for the lynching of evil rich “malefactors of wealth”? I’ll tell you why: He (and most of his Democratic Party colleagues) don’t believe their own bullshit anymore than we do. They know that crap is stale and doomed and ultimately going to boomerang on them HUGE if they keep all their loony left promises. It’s great for election time (or was this time) but as for really enacting it? They know deep down they are PARASITES and that while they want their bloodsucking, dead weight body to grow as large as possible, it can’t grow too large or it will KILL THE HOST and then THEY DIE TOO. So they are desperately trying to figure out a way to LOOK like they meant what they said without really, completely DOING what they said. Oh I am sure there will be new, appalling and permanent expansions of government of formerly free market activities, and spending and taxes are going up big time, but the Republic is not yet lost because in the end their actions have to be perceived to have WORKED or it’s lights out in 2010 & 2012. And they won’t work because they can’t work and never have worked.

So go ahead and move to Chile, Australia, Panglossia or wherever the hell you think its better. I’m hanging in, fighting the good fight, with faith that we’ll figure it out.
