John Edwards was right in one thing - There really are Two Americas.
One difference between the two:
One is heavily populated by people with homemade names.
The other America, not so much.
Which group is the most violent?
Which group is most likely to live off taxpayers?
Which group spends their time demanding more handouts?
Which group shows the least amount of respect for others?
Which group is over represented in the courts and prisons?
Which group can be relied on to vote almost 100% democrat?
I don't say this facetiously at all, but neither.
One group is slow to violence, but if you give them an ideology, war, uniform or the king's consent, they'll stack up bodies like nobody's business.
The other group's violence is impulsive and constant, but thankfully not able to organize well.
All that aside, I am sympathetic to your point though.
