Our country fought one Civil War. What is the ultimate soltution to the mounting divide between Liberals and Conservatives in this county? Rush talks about working until he converts over the last Liberal. How do you convert over people that aren't concerned about facts or politcal discourse? Are we headed to a complete political and social gridlock?

We’re already in political gridlck. The far left needs to be marginalized and I think conservatives winning some elections will do that.

We have to change the schools.

We are headed towards conflict with the extreme left in this country which is out of control.

You ask for God’s help.

You bring God and prayer back to America.

Otherwise, THE USA will self-destruct.

We need to stop the raid on the Treasury, follow the Constitution and stop the Federal power grab.

I see it as a fight for the middle, which in itself is scary considering what just happened in the last election. If it comes down to who gives the most to those who don’t pay into the system, we lose.

What is the ultimate solution to the Liberal-Conservative divide?

Killing liberals in vast, sprawling death camps, surrounded by barbed wire, with the stench of burning bodies slowly wafting in the breeze whilst the screams of terror emenate from the boxy Quanset killing huts. As you look on, small childrens' sad faces peek from between the strands of the barbed wire while a single, dirty tear rolls down their cheek.

I’m not sure we will this generation. To take a method from Alenskys rules - we must ridicule them. It’s the only thing that works - facts are nothing to them. I am fairly articulate and at work we cant even discuss cars. If you don’t have a hybrid - you are a loser in their minds. And the fact that I wont buy a union made car incenses them and they foam at the mouth. I live in Michigan and my wifes family all says - cnn is the only news network - Rush and Fox are evil and unions are only looking out for the small guy. They are not changing their minds anytime soon.

I’ve never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a ‘fat cat’ and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a ‘public-spirited philanthropist’. - Ronald Reagan

One side is generally more capable, believes more in personal responsibility and the rule of law. The other side is generally more dependent, believing that taking from someone who works hard is ‘fair’. The dependent side cannot win ultimately. The mass human suffering the second side can cause is immeasurable but, must ultimately fail. Something from nothing defies not only moral and common sense values, but the very laws of physics.

There isn’t one. We have reached the point where the liberals would sooner see the country go to hell than work with the conservatives, and the conservatives feel the same way. As Abraham Lincoln said once, a country so deeply divided against itself cannot stand. We will either become all or almost all of one, or all or almost all of the other.

The solution is for liberals to get over themselves and put ideas out in the free market of ideas. Conservative ideas prevail every time.

They come round to our side as certain as day follows night.

It is so frustrating you feel like pulling out a map and dividing the country in two. One part for those that want to go by the Constitution, and the other for the left figure out how to feed off their own teats for a change.

I am not sure, but I think that part of it will solve itself.

The reason we have so many leftist morons around is the fact that since the 70s, they have taken over the universities where unscientific courses are now taught. With the crisis, there will be less and less demand for this kind of courses and kids will be less and less indoctrinated...

I've gotten in a few of these arguments with libs lately.
The thing that struck me is these aren't kids anymore.
Many of these people are in the 40’s,50’s and up. They
aren't going to start listening to reason now. It would
negate the views they have based their whole lives on.

Well its a nice fantasy but it isn’t remotely realistic for the vast majority of Americans.

If you eliminate public schools you get millions of kids who don’t get any education at all. Also there are many millions pf parents I woundn’t trust to educate their kids because they can barely read themselves. Millions of families can’t afford private schools which will lead to federal programs to help them pay for it which will in turn lead to federal meddling in private schools.

Better to return public schools to local control, eliminate the federal money and guidelines in public schools and strip the teachers unions control of teaching away.

Conservatism thrives with an informed public. The more informed people become the less liberal they are. Even people with no political affiliation or who are otherwise apolitical are inherently conservative. Conservative is the natural state of being. So our battle is to educate and inform the public as much as we can. We have made great progress with the alternate media, as evidenced by Hussein’s collapsing poll numbers, and we will continue to build on it.
