I have always thought that the direction our country would be set by people yielding to practical solutions that work. The left has always wanted us to be socialists but at least willing to push for changes that did little or no damage to our countries economy or its military status. The right has been patient with the left. Like a parent trying to discipline a child, the right has restrained itself and just like a parent has given in too much and given too little discipline.
However, I sense that we have reached a point of no return. The left doesn't care anymore if they destroy the country. They do not think our current country is worth saving. The goal of having their utopia created by government outweighs their rational thinking about the consequences.
The right has given up expecting their wayward child to change. They have metaphorically packed their kids bags and have disowned them. The right no longer wants anything to do with the left, even to the point that cooperation is reasonable. The right no longer wants to compromise because every past effort to compromise has ended with the left pushing just a little farther and no progress is being made for them to see they are wrong.
So, we are at a point that seems to me to be unbridgeable. We have two countries. Two countries sharing the same geography, government, businesses, social and religious structures. Two countries with two fundamentally opposed world views are not sustainable.
“Inspiring”
That was to me, but, I think there is still a chance. ONLY IF WE SEND REINFORCEMENTS NEXT YEAR. If that fails, then, put a pitchfork in it. Stock up on tar and feathers.
“I just need 45 minutes to go grab my gear and to put the word out.”
In 1776 they only needed 1 minute.
What would be the response? I think it would be massive upheaval, social chaos, and a determined effort from the political class to forcibly remove the responsible person from office-to say nothing of destroying that person individually.
So I think your answer is most probably, Yes.
I like to call it the feral government now.
Is the Right the many politicians in our Government who call themselves Republicans? Or, is the Right most Tea Party (supporting) Conservatives?
I always feel like we have the Left, who comprise almost all Democrats. Then we have Republicans, who claim to be representing the Right publicly, yet seem to support (secretively) much of the ideology of the Left. Then of course, there’s the majority of people in this Country who consider themselves Conservatives.
Your question of “Have we reached the point of no return in politics(?)”, I would answer no. I think we can take our Country back, if the current Parties don’t cause it’s collapse first.
“So, we are at a point that seems to me to be unbridgeable. We have two countries. Two countries sharing the same geography, government, businesses, social and religious structures. Two countries with two fundamentally opposed world views are not sustainable.”
One side wants the burn the house down, the other wants to save it. Not much room for compromise IMO.
Wow! Rarely do I see such a consensus on FR.
Send all the libs to Manhattan. The can build all their choo-choo trains and urban planning crap there. Wall it off and be done with it. FDR did it with the Japs, we can do it with the libs. I’ve had it “up to here” with this crap.
In my opinion we have and it happened on Election Day in 2008. That was when it was demonstrated that there were more parasites than producers.
It took the Alarm Riders more than one minute to get the word out.
But what do we mean by the American Revolution? Do we mean the American war? The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments, of their duties and obligations...This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real American Revolution.Adams, saying the same thing differently elsewhere identifies the "revolution" as having occured between 1760-1775 in the minds of the people, long before "Lexington and Concord".John Adams, letter to H. Niles, February 13, 1818
Revolutions that do not have that foundation laid are nothing but choas and upheavel making the way for opportunists.
In part, this is why the noisy Tea Party was and is so effective and the Weathermen were not.
Yesseerree! Let's git it on.

Yes. It's over and we are a communists Nation now.
Every state has the power to secede from the USA. They just don’t realize it yet, but THAT is the answer to 150 years of the Lincoln Curse.
I'll see you in DC!
Then there is the perfect president to do their bidding and the perfect timing it would seem.
God is not pleased with our immoral ways of living, Abortion, homosexuality, wicked ways turning from God, and corruption of our leaders. None of us want to believe it ... BUT ... it is right before our eyes. We call it political correctness, move away from our Godly faith, social justice and dozens of other words that are all in the direction of socialism, Communism, and Marxist ideas. Bit by bit our school system has stopped teaching history, geography, science, math, health, and moved to social sciences, mother earth, global warming etc. Our children as well as many of us are brainwashed and we do not accept the truth of it.
God help us in our day, we seek the LORD, in Jesus name, amen.
