The Civil War happened when people stopped talking and being rational and starting acting emotionally. Both sides did it. It is happening again but it is no where near that level (yet).....

Spiraling contests of rhetoric and infammatory speech has a history of leading to equally ill-considered deeds. We see such speech today (most clearly from the left), and it is only a matter of time before it becomes acts. I think it is only the lack of the geographic sectionalism, despite the Red-Blue state ideal, that has prevented it so far.

Happy Independence Day Mike.

that and our focus has really been overseas since World War 2.

The Iron curtain, then Desert Storm and the subsequent issues in the ME have more or less distracted much of the US population....at least IMO....

and the Left is all about that type of rhetoric. Some on the far right do it, but no where NEAR what the left does. Thank you Karl Marx.....
