Happy 4th if you can keep it.*

*Benjamin Franklin on our new form of government: "A republic, if you can keep it."

At times like this the "if's" are becoming so large they seem to take on their own personalities especially when democracy's opponents say they feel that we are democracy's greatest enemy and feel our threat immediate and very, very real.

In the past two weeks Fox has become even more shrill concerning the dangers liberals and democrats pose. "The window is quickly closing" (for conservatives to save the nation and democracy), as I heard one commentator exclaim today.

What's coming? Do they know something? Something about August?

"If," indeed.
