From ABC News...
In an article about people feeling like they are no longer welcome in their own country, and thinking about a move, I pulled this:
Kelly Ann Thomas of Houston, said she has put her house on the market and a real estate agent has been showing her properties in a Central American country. She said she did not want to say exactly where, because her agent told her he received 45 calls in one day from Americans looking to move to the same location.
She has been concerned since Bush took office in 2001, she said. She started buying gold and investing in euros, because she and her husband, an oil trader, were worried about a "significant stock market collapse."
Much of her anger at the president is related to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, both of which she believes were being planned by the administration months before Sept. 11, 2001. But her opinion of former Democratic candidate Sen. John Kerry isn't much better.
"I can no longer in good conscience support a nation that believes it is OK to lie to start wars," she said. "I will not live in a country where dumb and dumber are my two choices for president. I'm taking my assets out of the country and moving to Central America, where ironically, I will have more freedom to live my life without interference from a corrupt government. My husband and I will leave within four months."
This is just one of MANY such statements I've seen of late...and like them I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by the prospect of four more years of further erosion of civil liberties, environmental protections and foreign respect, as well as the almost certain terror strike that will come, fired by a hate that is stronger than ever before (Before, the terrorists hated us...now 80%+ of the Muslim world hates us).
And its not just him, folks. Its that 51% of the country that put him there that frightens me. Arbiter of Cool posted a link yesterday that really chilled my blood...Gotta run without finishing this...
