The Democrats literally hate the Republicans and visa versa. You know, George Bush did this and that or Bill Clinton did this and that in a never ending political war between neighbors.
As the economy continues to run downhill with no sign of any braking, the tensions will become further elevated. Blame will be placed primarily on Junior Bush for all that is wrong with America. King of Simple News readers know that we started on our immanent collision course with reality long before Junior was born; but most folks aren’t much on history.
Is it possible that our political leanings will become so totally polarized that our nation will begin to separate into like minded enclaves? I know personally that there are areas of this country where I could not and would not live. Let’s just say that there are areas that don’t suit my clothes.
We have had vast differences in the core beliefs of our populace a couple of other times in our short history which resulted in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. Is this time different?

I’d like to hear your thoughts on that subject.
