Too bad, but reality is what it is. One tribe striving to preserve ancient traditions that got us where we are today, one tribe seeking to strike off on its own self-defined course, not just leaving behind but destroying anything of worth.
Bad times ahead.
“yep. After one such insane tirade Dennis Miller observed, “We really are two different tribes now.”

Good post, short and succinct.
Did you ever see one of those films — made through microscopes — that show a single cell dividing? The two cells as they exist just before the separation, still with some common material stretched between them?
That’s where we are today. Two cells, two “tribes”.
Only yesterday, I recall a post by someone who used the language (paraphrasing), “a candidate who can unite us” again. Great platitude, but that time is over in America and it ain’t comin’ back. The country will NEVER again be united. The two sides are so ideologically opposed that common ground is all-but nonexistent, and reconciliation is impossible.
We are reaching that point in America where one of the two sides will remain a part of the whole only through force from above. A nation of un-alike peoples forcibly bound together, similar to Soviet-era Czechoslovakia.
The $64 question is whether at some point in the future, we can resolve our differences as did the Czechs and the Slovaks.
If we cannot, then we certainly are destined for the bad times ahead that you foresee...
