Are We Ready for This?


Well I hope that everyone got out to vote yesterday. I know Mark and I did. Shoot, Mark even tried to get 2 votes for our candidate of choice! Silly boy.

Its certainly a great day in history for the good ole US of A. That's what will be in all the headlines anyways. All I have to say is it will be an interesting 4 years. I myself am choosing to go through them in denial. I certainly hope that everyone is praying for this nation and praying that Mr Obama doesn't screw it up anymore than what it already is. There is nothing more we can do now but wait and see how this all plays out.

Mark and I have already started to build a bomb shelter in our basement, we're stocking up on food, and hiding cash in the mattress. Remember what Mr Obama said in his book Audacity of Hope...

Actual quote from "The Audacity of Hope" [pg. 261]: Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

I encourage everyone to do some digging and try to understand what is happening in our country. Look at what is happening in Europe and see if we're on a fast track to self destruction as well. We have a very real threat here in the US from people who honeslty hate us. Let's not be fooled by the liberal media and the false sense of security they have given us.

Buckle up everyone, it could be a rough ride in the coming years! Ok Ok, Steps off soap box! Have a great day.

Always, Jessica
