Vote or Die?

Just a random bit of musing to stir some discussion.

How many of you think we may, in fact, be approaching a 'vote or die' choice? Are we on the cusp of having enough voters on the 'right' so disgusted by the lack of action by the people currently in charge that they'll either vote 'against' or not vote at all in sufficient numbers to usher in a truly bad government?

And if we do get the government of Pelosi's dreams - the one that insists on "turn them all in Mr. & Mrs. America" will it lead to some nasy Unintended Consequences?

If the great thinning of the herd does come will we make it through yet again? Unlike the 1860's we've got a lot of folks ready, willing, and quite possibly able to join in with gleeful abandon and no great care as to aim.

Or am I just being paranoid? Do you think that no matter who wins the upcoming election they'll manage to retain at least a tiny bit of sanity - or fear, that works too - and avoid any attempts to try to slam through official recognition of their self-selected elite status?

These are the thoughts that swirl through my soul in the still parts of the night.

Then again, maybe I'd sleep better if the cat would snuggle into my armpit facing me.
