I dont know....a civil war actually seems kind of appealing right now, when I look at the other half of the country.

"Like, for instance, how we both agree that making money is good outweighs our disagreements on whether or not its okay to stick a tube in the back of a baby's head on the way out of the womb and suck its brains out... /sarcasm "

Some days I think about that. Well most days. It boggles my mind that Kerry even has almost half of the white Catholic vote. Kerry who voted for PBA six times. It's unreal! I am not much of great Christian but for crying out loud. Partial Birth Abortion!??? How can they just ignore that?? And yet we supposedly "share the same values" with these people? I am sick of hearing that phrase. It is a lie. And whoever uses it is lying to himself and glossing over seething problems because they want to be seen as reasonable or temperate.

these two Americas are further apart than at any time since the Second World War

This country is more divided than at any time since 1971 - John Kerry stump speech

Yeah, and it was you THEN, too.

The reason we are divided if we really are is the media has done all they could to make that happen.

You are right. Sometimes, extreme measures are necessary to protect what is right and moral. I cannot abide by the likes of Moore and Streisand. I simply cannot and will not accept socialism, secularism and atheism. I WILL NOT!!!

If conservatives would move out of the blue states they could make them impotent. I think that is slowly happening anyway.

Everything's in reruns anyway.

I remember some sort of a show, Stingray or something, that reminds me of the puppets I've seen in ads for this Team America and there were commercials too in the last few years with puppet-like characters in it as well. Everything is in reruns any way!

See the movie. It has lots of profanity and almost got a NC-17 for puppet sex, however it is the funniest movie I have seen in the last 4 years.

Perhaps a physical civil war wouldn't occur because Democrats know our current commander in chief is popular with at least 3 out of 4 of the military.

we are in a Cold Civil War right now.

That is a precise way of stating the current state of affairs we face today. The left is obsessed with absolute power. Just elections mean nothing to them. They want to win at all costs. Our Republic is in grave danger. Al Gore took the first evil step in 2000 of lawyering our way to tyranny. The left does everything in its power to smear, to denegrate, and to humilate those of us who cherish Liberty and Individual rights. In the coming years, once they have the power they crave, the left will seek to use violence against us. They are evil to their core.

I am Catholic and there are people at our church that are voting for Kerry. It is mind-boggling. They believe the lies of the media. They belive Kerry's lies about the war and health care. We tried to point out Kerry's lack of opposition to late term abortions and they have nothing to say. I can't see how anyone can be a Christian and support Kerry. I pray every day for understanding and it is difficult. The left are pushing us to the breaking point with their lies and utter corruptness.

There are many more that agree with you. Recently in conversations with friends, many who are quite reasonable and calm in most situations bring up the civil war aspect. There is no doubt there is great polarization in this land. I fear there cannot be any reconciliation without great conflict. The left seeks to IMPOSE their rule over us. I WILL NOT LET THAT HAPPEN MY FAMILY.

"Perhaps a physical civil war wouldn't occur because Democrats know our current commander in chief is popular with at least 3 out of 4 of the military."

And the majority of the Republican base firmly supports the 2nd for a reason.

I never saw a show called the Thunderbirds but I might like to see this movie some day

Fair warning, the number of times they use the "F" word is easily up in the hundreds. That said, I laughed my head off. I talked to a couple of dyed-in-the wool liberals and they also liked it. It's just good satire.
