I think that Michael Scheuer, unfortunately, is right. And I don't think that Scheuer is "hoping" for millions of deaths, but commenting on the stupidity of the voters lately and saying that a wake-up call of unprecedented proportions is the only way out of this.

Maybe when your energy bills double with no effect on either the climate or other countries actions - except that they become even cheaper in relationship to the USA due to lower energy costs and cause more job losses by luring more manufacturing away - the average American might decide that Cap & Trade isn't all that wonderful - but I'm not counting on it.

Or maybe the average voter will realize just how much Obama outright lied to get elected and get pissed off about it. (If your taxes aren't higher, and the dollar not badly inflated, in 2 years I will quite happily retract those words.) Or how fraudulent Al Franken's election was when there were more votes tallied than voters who appeared at the polls in some districts. (He reminds me of a particular - and quite excellent - Murphy Brown episode circa 1995 where a horribly unqualified Republican was elected to the U.S. House by riding in on the coattails of the Contract with America movement.)

I, for one, do not want the USA to become like Europe. If I wanted that I'd move to Europe. And in your situation so close to our northern border I cannot believe that you are unaware of just how many Canadians who can afford to do so come south for their medical care and pay for it entirely out of their own pocket. The most financially healthy hospitals in the country are in your north-west nook of the woods because of this.

I am also surprised that you listen/watch to Glenn Beck. He would not have seemed to be your cup of tea.
