Can't we all just get along? :-)
I gladly welcome the thought of civil war. All the liberal panywaists won't know how to fire a weapon and the US Military will undoubtedly support the Red States (or quit and join a Red State army). Bring it on, Eleanor.
"During the Reagan years, any thought of cutting and running from the likes of Osama bin Laden would be considered cowardly and shameful."
Lebanon ring a bell?
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Reagan fan. But this writer needs to bone up on his recent history before he starts his lectures.
More aptly red country vs blue cities.
There are two Ameircas, but both are not occupied by Americans. The Americans voted for Bush and our future. And the Hate-Americans voted against Bush and our future. Nobody voted for John Kerry.
That's why he combs his hair that way!
Yes, because the Euro-like blue voters can't live without the red voters, and the red voters could quite easily live without them. We forgive, but it will take a hard dose of reality to bring the blue voters around. Even 9/11 didn't wake up the blue NYC voters.
Spouting words does not demonstrate understanding the situation.
It's just like saying it's after 5:00 somewere. You are bound to be right.
SINCE the Reagan administration, while we "reds" have been making a living, raising our kids and being active in our churches communities, the "blues" have become progressively more dependent on therapy, support groups and prescription meds just to maintain their psychological fantasy world. So the answer is "yes".
In ancient times the Barbarians were beyond the gates, now the Barbarians are the urban dwellers.
Communists/socoalists ALWAYS try to divide normal people into mutually exclusive categories and then drive wedges between them by characterizing the differences as inequities.
It is a failed tactic!! Yet, the lefties still love to emphasize the differences between the "wealthy" and the rest of us. So, when Bush returns 10% to the guy who paid $200,000 more in taxes last year than I, and I get nothing, I'm supposed to be outraged.
The ultra-left wing, arrogant elitist, neocommunist, Eurinal-loving democrats simply do not understand the essence of being an American and living in our country. We are not stupid, as they believe.
Once they are safe, then we wall-off the blue regions, kick 'em out of the Union, and let them try to create their Brave New Society according to their heroes Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Kim.
After that, we'll get to watch 'em rapidly collapse into the 3rd World squalor they seem to hold in such high esteem.
They would learn not to bite the hands that literally feed them.
This is coming out of the mouth of some guy that makes millions a year on somebody else's suffering? That alone makes him a "haves" sucking off the "have nots". He should certainly be well versed in that, materially.
The real "haves" and "have nots" are the people who still have some depth in their soul, that understand that this country was not founded on the principles of materialism. Edwards & Co. lost this election to a power much greater than his understanding of siphoning off material possessions.
Even North Carolina hates him, just as Tennessee hated Al Bore. These people are so disconnected with reality, I don't even know how one could make a Sunday comic strip of it.
Yes, there are two Americas: the one embraces the Founding principles, and the other seeks to pervert them.
