I wish I could feel that way. The way the schools are churning out liberals, the way the text books are being written to promote socialism, communism, and group-think.... there is little chance that the country isn't going down the sewer.
We need calamity if we are to be saved. All the institutions of influence are controlled by liberal/commie/socialist/one worlders. There is no chance without calamity to bring people to their senses. These are awful times. This nation needs to be cleansed, and it is coming in the form of great terrorism. Our reaction to that terrorism will bring us back to our senses.
The democrats have spent two years griping that Bush hasn't spent enough on domestic security and first-responders, that the war in Iraq hasn't made us safer, etc. etc. This is so that when an attack occurs they can campaign on the "we told you so" platform. Probably quite a few Americans would listen to them.
My preference is the foiling of a terrorist attack in a very public manner, so that the terrorist threat is understood as a real danger, but that no one is hurt.
I also must say that it would not surprise me that domestic groups like PETA and ELF have thrown in their lot with Al Qaeda, and would launch a terror attack just to get Bush out of the White House. The democrats are stirring up all the weirdos in the country, and we live in a very dangerous time.
