LOL. It could happen here, except that it would be more likely under Hillary than Edwards. I've become fascinated with 17th century English politics -- well, from Henry VIII to William and Mary, which is somewhat more than the 17th century -- because Civil Wars about absolute monarchism vs. Parliamentarianism went back and forth for many decades. I can't imagine the US being as polarized on issues as England was then, but we certainly have had our moments, see, e.g., slavery and the US Civil War. When I was a child, we were indoctrinated heavily on the beauty of the United States Constitution, which I will support until my last breath. I don't think the younger generations are taught to revere the Constitution anymore. Well, my kids were, but they live in Virginia, the cradle of American freedom (ignoring slavery, of course).
