There is an overwhelming arrogance and selfishness that has infected our country.

100% true.

The only way to eradicate it is a revolution

A revolution of want, and hunger, and pestilence, maybe. Otherwise, let's just separate from them. They are lost.

But, you separate from them, and sooner than later, they are right back with us. Then those among us push for more “compassion” towards them. Then they start demanding. Destroying.

When does this looney cycle EVER stop??

"The only way to eradicate it is a revolution"

And how are we to separate from them in a practical manner -- draw a line through the country and tell everyone to move to "their" side of the border? Call for a constitutional convention to dissolve the Union?

America's ideological split doesn't conveniently align with some natural regional difference, such as existed at the time of the Civil War. Left and right live cheek by jowl, all across the country, and cannot be physically separated without monumental dislocations to the entire populace.

No - we're only going to fix this country the hard way, and that is by undoing over a half century of Socialist infection that runs throughout our culture. You want your country back bad enough, that's the daunting task you must accept.

I see such posts on here from time to time, and think to myself that people who say such things are just venting their frustrations. I myself, have sometimes commented that I'd just like to revoke the leftist's citizenship and kick them out of the country, but I know that's never going to happen, either.

The way out is through.
