The Washington Examiner ^ | October 28, 2015 | Paul Bedard

Despite President Obama's two election victories, the nation has become increasingly racially divided in its politics and "tribal" in its voting patterns, according to the president's election pollster.

I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

Might check on that 18 year old high school girl who resisted the deputy’s demand.

Where did that attitude come from ?
Washington, DC.

Did the deputy over react. Yes. No question.

The Kenyan did a wonderful job dividing Americans. Who’s the racist here? It sure as hell isn’t American Christians and American conservatives.

That's why the Democrats are down to 3 old white folks running for President while the Republicans still have a variety of ethnicities running from their tribe.

That was EXACTLY what the Demonrats wanted.

Make women feel like there’s a b.s. ‘war’ against them.

Promise gays ‘marriage.’

Make blacks feel like victims and promise handouts.

Chop the nation up into little interest groups and create ‘deal breakers’ that keep them from supporting the Republican.

#blacklivesmatter is certainly designed to increase American tribalism. We are getting close to a shooting war right now.
