Good thing there are not many like you.

If the economy recovers, the population will reward the democrats with their trust and let them pass all their socialist agenda. If the economy instead gets worse, the population is more likely to resist it and throw them out of office at the next election.

Ben Franklin said “Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”

On Glenn Beck the other day, they were discussing the college student that said he was in favor of the bailout so he'd be able to get a job. He was willing to give up his liberty in exchange for the security of a job.

You may fall in the same camp as the college student, but not me. Count me proudly in the category of those willing to sacrifice a little security (a job) if that's the cost of thwarting attacks on my liberty.

You have it wrong. If the economy tanks the people will want more socialism. If the economy recovers, and it will, the people will boot out the tax and spenders. The uS economy is greater than obamas actions.

Count me proudly in the category of those willing to sacrifice a little security (a job) if that's the cost of thwarting attacks on my liberty.

Quit your job right now and join the ranks of the unemployed to further the process of "righting the system". Somehow I don't think you will.
