I am really hoping the Dems get complete control of both the Congress and the Presidency. Strange considering that I am politically a very conservative person, ex military, and have spent a great deal of time in the Middle East. But as usual I have devious reasons.

Historically we are at the same point the world was in 1938/39. In hindsite you wonder how people then could be so blind as to not see WW-II looming. But when you read the newspapers from the time everyone was arguing, basicly no concensus, anyone pointing out the looming conflict was labeled with everything from ignorant to jingonistic. Appeasement was the preferred approach by the "intelligent" media, educators, etc.

911 and previous acts of terrorism weren't anywhere severe enough for Americans to see what is on the horizon. The lesson was either not learned or quickly forgotten since it actually had almost no direct effect on most people other than the shock of seeing something real on TV for a change. It will take a few more "lessons" before the intelligent learn. Instead we debate who said what and was there some actual meaning in the words. We have leaders who only look for political advantage so they can continue to rape the country for personal gain.

So the only way this election helps us is for the extreme left to gain control so they can totally disengage from the world, allow the UN (a hundred guys with leopard fezs and doorman uniforms from the Plaza, each representing countries with the GDP of a SuperWalmart) to decide on US security, and tax the nation into recession. The results will end the debate and motivate us to do what is required. Eventually the world, including my Arab friends, will be better off after a very long period of pain. And worldwide even traffic will be lessened cause we will be without about 10 to 50 million current inhabitants.

Sorry to be brutally honest. This is a serious world. It requires serious people with serious answers. America doesn't have those leaders yet nor does it deserve them -- yet.
