To tell the truth...I am terrified. Of course I will not let "them" see it but I am feeling like Paul Revere yet Americans are not heading the warnings.

I'd like to post a DU poll to see what other Dems are currently experiencing but I think I am too afraid to do so. I feel like I am sinking without a life raft. I do not want to be negative but I am sooooo upset I can't see straight. I wish I were dumb and ignorant and living like many citizens are. Ignorance must be blissful.

If it comes down to being a militant than I will be one of them. 3 months ago at my birthday dinner my sister said that if means taking to arms to fight for our country, she will be right there. We never discussed this before so I was sort of surprised. I am the activist in the family.
