I say we keep dividing ourselves more and more until we're two warring factions that hate each other's guts so much that we resort to violence against each other. That's what freedom is all about, hating other people so much we want them locked up. It's only freedom if we have it and they don't, right?
We're doing a great job of that so far, our country is definitely headed in the right direction. Now if only we could hate the other side even more, then everything will be perfect.
That’s why we should treat with suspicion those who continually and pretentiously lament parties, partisans and partisanship
There's a difference between unrelenting partisanship and people simply having different opinions. The kind of partisanship we have today is not healthy
There's no such thing as peace in the current political climate. There's a difference between healthy debate and outright hate. We have the latter right now.
How long do you think that will last? We have both Democrats and Republicans begging for someone to fire the first shot.

So things aren't peaceful then? If shots have been fired then your idea of "peace" isn't exactly a reality.
It's the sign of a healthy, free society, where competing interests can engage peacefully in the democratic political process.

Ok Les, sure you didn't.

I know your game so I'm going to opt out of the circular arguments.
