The map of the 2000 election proved that there are two Americas out there, a blue and a red. And when the Gore/Bush support areas were colored in depth representing intensity of support, there were no pink or baby blues. Those colors were deep red and dark blue. This nation is split and intensely so. I do not know if there has been such a division in this country since the civil war, but I doubt it.
Besides being basically two nations at war, the war is full of hate. Booing someone takes us to the level of the European socceer hooligans. Scratching up someone's car is unbelievable. The other day, a man wouldn't let me in front of him to exit a highway. The rage was scary. I couldn't figure out why until I realized he probably was angry over my Republican bumper sticker. To think that someone could die because of another voter's anger and road rage over a bumper sticker.
There are two Americas out there and it is "us" versus "them". Never forget it. The first step is to get a Republican senate and get judges in there who will legislate on the law and not the way they think things out to be micro-managed. The second step is to get rid of liberal teachers who teach kids "what" to think rather than "how" to think. Finally, we must be ever-vigilant because the tactics they use to cheat and steal elections today will be nothing compared to what they will figure out next when these klutzy techniques fail. This will be a battle til the day we die.
