Hanson's suggestion that 'Americans need to take a deep breath, step back and rein in their anger -- and find more ways to connect rather than divide themselves' sounds good on the surface but does not address the deepest, darkest, most divisive and irreconcilable problems separating blue from red.

For example, the blue side is primarily godless and pagan materialist and mystical pantheist. It seeks a godless City of Man that can only ascend on the ashes of the traditionalist side's ''One Nation Under God' where all people are created by God the Father thus are persons endowed with God-given rights, rather than evolved aspects of the divine energy field as the other side contends. America's Constitution is a great spiritual doctrine premised upon creation ex nihilo, the only source for the personhood being stripped from people and given to gorillas, rivers, and other aspects of nature by the other side.

One side is offended by and hates the Biblical conception of the living, personal Holy Triune God. This hatred is extended to our Constitutional Republic and to all people who uphold and defend it. In this light, it appears that calls for agreement between these two sides will only lead to where it always ends---with further compromise by traditionalists.
