I’m ready for the national divorce. What the people who have the “union at any cost” opinion miss, is that in 1861 the union believed in patriotism, followed the constitution, was overwhelmingly religious, believed in the ideals of the Declaration. Today the federal government represents the opposite of every single ideal which Americans of previous generations fought for. The left in America IS just as much the enemy as the Soviets were, and the communist Chinese, North Koreans and Iranians are. We can’t share a country with these people because they hate the country we are forced to share. They are totalitarians Marxists in every sense of the word. Either they go, or we lose the country. It’s that simple. The author begins by saying that he doesn’t understand how more people don’t see what’s happening around us. I don’t understand how someone who understands that, still fails to grasp the full gravity of the situation.
