[...] SO PEOPLE ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT ARE BOTH worried sick about the election. Both seem more worried about the other guys controlling the White House than anxious to win [...]

As I said here, I have a great concern, regardless of how the election turns out, based upon the "Obama = Jesus Jr." crowd. The way I see it, either there will be a large number of people on Wednesday firmly believing that most of the country are racist pigs who stole the election or six months later they'll be looking to blame someone for why they never got their pony.

Sergey Says:

“I also can not completely agree with a view that only free market is at stake now: all other freedoms are endangered, too, by any government intervention in economics.”

Classical liberal thought always has maintained that you can not have political freedom or personal freedom without economic freedom.

The most influential French leftist intellectual, Bernard-Henri Levi, recently defined Left (approvingly) as those who refuse to choose between freedom and equality. They are delusional, of course: in real world this choice is inevitable. Economic freedom always creates inequality, and without it no freedom is possible. But free market can exist without political freedom, as in Pinochet’s Chile, or, to lesser extent, in Putin’s Russia. I also can not completely agree with a view that only free market is at stake now: all other freedoms are endangered, too, by any government intervention in economics.

Occam’s Beard – When I hear “national civilian security force” one question always springs to my mind: security…against what, exactly?

You should asking against who, not what.

Crime? Nah – criminals are a core Democratic constituency. Illegal immigration? Nope. Dems are all for it. Terrorism? Dems believe it’s a minor problem, smaller than global warming.

So, what then?

Please tell Ms. Wasserman there is at least one conservative who would never vote Obama, and not because he is black. I am deeply offended by insinuations I am racist becuse I’ve not been enthralled by an empty suit. The backs of my ears have been dry for 35 years. I would vote for former Congressman J.C. Watts or Condi Rice in a heartbeat. What I will not vote for is a pseudo-Marxist who came from the vile cesspool of Cook County, IL politics. So far as stealing elections goes, is that why the left and the MSM seem so dismissive of the ACORN shenanigans?

I will be on my knees, praying, whichever way it goes when I learn the outcome.

Either I will be giving near hysterical thanks and praise for giving America another chance, or I will be praying for my family and country and asking for forgiveness of our foolishness and apparent national suicide and surrender to the forces of evil in the form of neo-communism.

Wow…I haven’t been here in forever (since at least 2004ish) and I really need to start back up.

Excellent article. Can I admit to being scared of an Obama presidency? I am trying really hard to NOT be truly scared but it is difficult since he is completely opposite in every way of my view of life and liberty. Free speech? Taxes? Federal government spending? Expanded government into our lives? I truly fear these things.

I am praying for a McCain/Palin win though it is too easy to get depressed in this bright blue state in which I live. *sigh*

One of the PUMA sites (Hillbuz ?) posted a clip of Obama saying that he would definitely get all of Hillary’s voters if he got the nom, but she would need to be worried about getting his. It was one of the more arrogant things I’ve heard him say (quite a list). He sounded like a total jerk saying it as well.

I’m hoping the PUMA’s prove him wrong tomorrow!
