I agree with you and Pat as well. For the most part he is correct and I have been saying much of what he has all along. We are in SERIOUS SERIOUS trouble. If Klinton gets in I see it as the beginning of the end for the US as we know it. We are on a suicide course for sure.

I don't think it matters if Hillary gets in - I look at Giulani and some of the other candidates, and the way the GOP members in Congress act, and at times it feels like we are talking about socialism vs socialism lite when it comes to democrats versus Republicans.
I remember all of the talk from Bush and from Republicans in Congress how, with a Republican President and a Republican Congress, they'll be able to shrink the government, shrink the power of the government, shrink the budget, put more power and choices in the hands of Americans, etc, and after several years of a Republican Congress and a Republican President, all I've seen is a bigger government with more power. On top of it, we've got a government that is intent on keeping our borders as open as possible - sure they'll pay a little lip service and throw up a few fences here and there (or webcams if you are in Texas) but they are doing that to lull the conservatives into buying their spiel.
The fact is, I have consistently voted conservative since I was 18 and that was several decades ago, and I find myself feeling like I'm the RINO, because I don't recognize the GOP - sure, I see a few people like Hunter and some others who are trying to be conservative, but the overwhelming majority seem deadset on electing a liberal Republican.
It's very disturbing. I look at how much the country has changed since I was a child, and I think that my great-grandchildren and their grandchildren will probably curse my generation someday. That is, if they realized what we once had. By the time they are adults, they will accept big government and some form of socialism as the norm.
