You may think it is so good to have the split ,but what do we do when we all need each other? You are forgetting one thing,there is an enemy out there waiting in the wings. How can we stick together when we are so far apart in this country?Sooner or later whether the blues or the reds like it we may have to. Then what?Who is going to give a little to per serve this union. A union that has survived longer then you and I have been alive. They did not lose the union then, I would hate to lose it in my lifetime. Bending and talking to each other does not mean you give in. It just means you are smart enough to talk. Talking to each other would never hurt anybody > Ideas are what moves mankind. There might be good people with good ideas on how to handle this issue, but the more people are treated horrible like some of the posts to me in this forum by some pretty nasty people only make enemies.Then no one wins ,not the minutemen, not the citizens and not the illegals.Nobody!
Sorry, I think you took my #149 too seriously. It was meant to be a joke.
I have a million reasons not to want any kind of split in the US, not the least of which is that I live in a border state, surrounded within miles by sites from the Civil War. Our family had folks on both sides then. We may have our profound political battles today, but pray nothing like that happens again, in my lifetime or ever. I don’t see it happening.
To put the original comment in context: You may have forgotten that following the 2004 election, the libs were so angry with the Kerry loss, theoretically based on the “Christian values vote,” that someone came up with a map showing all the red states as “Jesus Land” and then the blue states were combined with Canada which then, under Cretien, was very anti-US.
Since 2004, US-friendly Hunter was elected Canada’s Prime Minister; pro-Americans Merkel in Germany and Sarkozy in France won their national elections. The anti-American Left, which insists the US is despised throughout the world, has fewer options of countries friendly to their thinking.
The rest of the world is ‘getting it.’ Western Culture, with the USA its most visible entity, is at risk and we must all hang together or surely we will hang separately. (with thanks and proper attribution to your friend, Ben)
