I have the guts. I won't do it unless it continues to get worse, but I have no problem leaving America if it stops being what it once was. I have no doubt that Bush has it in him to make it a lot worse, too.
The scapegoating, the fear-mongering, the demonization of dissenters all have the stench of proto-fascism. People think it couldn't happen here, but of course it could.
However, none of us is leaving without a fight. Get used to four years of increasing resistance. I predict that it will be months, not years, before the debacle in Iraq is widely considered to be a grevious error. With any luck, people will break out of their panic-induced post-9/11 stupor, and return sanity and reflection into our national psyche. Then we can look to ONLY four more years.
