I would not be surprised if it leads to civil war.
The anger we're currently seeing is an anomaly that resulted mostly from Gore's attempted theft of the election. It will pass, and Gore's continued foolishness will help it pass more quickly, as even the Extreme Left realizes he would have been a disaster.
It also is important to recognize that only a small minority, perhaps 20%, are carting around such unbridled, free-floating hosility toward moderates and the Right. These are the Michael Moore-Howard Dean liberals, so extreme that they are largely, and correctly, considered as unreasonable people.
Watching the Left run John Kerry is going to be sheer joy. I'd rather have seen Dean, but in reality, Kerry is at least as liberal as Dean, but with a war record. It really sounds as though his anti-war activities may be so extreme they won't play that well outside of Mass. But the American People are not ready for a Teddy Kennedy liberal.
One only has to read your post to see how angry you are and how polarized this country is. Apparently, its been a boil forming for many years, and now, Bush has brought it to head. It was inevitable......if it wasn't Bush, it would have been someone else. We have been two countries operating under the guise of "One nation under God" for too long a time.
And just for the record, there are many places besides Mass. where Kerry resonates well! If you fully got that point, you would understand the extent to which we are alienated from each other.
This subject is not just fodder for a message board on SI. |
