My wife at dinner had a political altercation with an Obama supporter back during the primaries, former friends who have cut us off from all contact. This is the most divisive election I can remember. It is impossible to discuss facts with these true believers no matter how gingerly you approach the subject and if you avoid the subject they'll start the conversation anyway. My wife does outside sales and had me take the McCain sticker off my truck so she could drive it in Houston without fear. A nation divided cannot stand, so it's going to be a rough four years socially either way I fear. I carry and it's time to get get my wife licensed to carry so she can upgrade from pepper spray. I am telling her to take a look at the business location she is visiting and if it looks unsecure or is in a “bad” neighborhood drive away. Call it red lining if you will, but it's not worth a hassle much less an attack to try to sell people who are so emotionally charged over this Obama messiah thing.

Your experience is likely not that uncommon. All elections are divisive, but this much more so than any of the others I've participated in.

McCain is far from the perfect candidate and is far from being conservative enough. However, with his past of walking the aisle between parties, even threatening to switch parties, he just may be the best man for the times.

Normally I would not feel this way, wanting instead an overwhelmingly conservative ticket and not someone who has had such a long history in DC, but in times like these, perhaps that is exactly what is needed. I know the divisiveness and general unrest we see now will be much, much worse if 0bama wins and he, Reid and Pelosi have their way with the country, courts and Constitution.

That should give you pause to be thankful. Long ago, during Clinton's "reign" we decided not to trust Left family members and that has proven beneficial. While they rage and explode out of control, we are clear of them and their behavior. It is truly a mental disorder and that is no joke.

Our lives are much more peaceful, we continue to fight for our conservative candidates and watch our former family/friends go off like skyrockets, it's the one little pleasure we have these days.

Remember: even if they win by a landslide, they will still be deranged and not content until you are silenced completely even if that means having you picked up at 2AM by the "National Security Force but not the military, but larger than the military".
