Do Conservatives And Liberals Have Enough in Common to Keep A Country Together Anymore?

I’ve always explained to those that argue that we have a democracy the differences.

Everyone thinks democracy is freedom. It’s not. Democracy is simply 3 wolves and 1 sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

A republic is a well armed sheep contesting the vote.

Democracy is simply mob rule. Republic is law and order and everyone has the same rights.

I’m amazed at how many people don’t know the difference.

Certain issues may united us sufficiently enough to keep the patriotism strong, such as wars or innovations from powerhouses such as Apple or some new version of General Motors, Tesla, but on a strict budget.

Don't be ridiculous innovations by globalist corporations is going to instill patriotism? Are you high?

What is a right wing ideologues? Please, name a few.

Secession will prevent bloodshed. Nobody want to keep CA in the USA but state-ist thugs; which are a small minority.

“lonl” (lots of no laughs) Separating the country into smaller countries wouldn’t be good enough for libs. Like islam, liberalism wants complete control of everyone in the world, no separation of ideology allowed unless its separation from what founded this most unique nation. They are obsessive psychopaths who want hive mentality instead of free will. The obsession of their psychosis is the destruction of the rest of us aka those they not only disagree with but harbor hatred against for thinking and believing diversely from them.

Well Vlad then, according to you, there is no solution. Why not just off yourself now?

There are many of us to like in Oregon. I am attached to the Constitution and keeping the US whole. The answer is simple. They move. They are the ones always threatening to leave, that hate the country. The communists can leave.

We must take their book, applying the process but applying our principles. Getting education back under control of the states. Teaching our history and civics.

Seems to me giving up land in hopes of a lasting peace hasn't worked so well for Israel. Better to just eliminate the bad blood and keep the body intact. Our Founders not only told us bloodshed is expected, it is required, to water the tree of liberty. When the time comes, it is our duty as free men and women.

[Lopeover]

I think it is less numbers on their side. If we had a real free press, many of those folks would be lining up with us.

They left depends on on people’s lack of knowledge & understanding. They also deliver their message through charismatic messengers! Hollywood types, musicians artists etc.

That is why Milo is such a great threat to communists! He is so cutting edge! It is like he says, politics is downstream of culture!

No. The blame falls at Soetoro’s and Clinton’s feet.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Well Vlad then, according to you, there is no solution. Why not just off yourself now?

The solution is long term.

Regain control of the education system and stop inculcating children and adolescents with liberal mush, PC thinking, racism, and hate for their own country.

Perhaps in a generation or two the majority would once again find common ground.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Let 'em go.

Do it county by county - but they have to promise to take Washington, DC and the Clintons or it's no deal.

Fence them in, build toll gates and toll roads between their islands.
Charge for travel on our rivers and lakes and for overflights of their despised "Flyover Country".

Let 'em grow their own food and take vacations in each other's cities.

[Olog-hai]

That leaves the country open to invasion, if too many strategic points are given over to the left.

[ought-six]

In a word? No.

[ought-six]

I think you mean WESTERN Oregon and WESTERN Washington.

“Is it time for people who love their country to get their guns, head to D.C. and do something about what’s happening in our country?” The short version of what I told him was “no.”

i disagree with the author.
