Glad to see someone just come out and say it, as Dennis Prager does here.
There will be no unity in America until either the left or the right wins. The differences go deep, to the fundamentals of the nation's founding.
Enough of this wimpy talk about "my friends across the aisle". Some of them might be friendly with you at lunch, but they are not the friends of America, who they will not have over for lunch but rather have for dinner.
And enough, Senator McCain, of this silly, or at best disingenuous talk of "I respect Barack Obama and his accomplishments". Please tell us just what those accomplishments are that you "respect"?
His steadfastness in supporting the killing of born-alive infants? His channelling of millions to oufits like Acorn for a failed attempt to indoctrinate, er, improve the educaton of our children with anti-Amercan ideas?
His "organizing" of "communities" to stage in-your-face protests to get themselves money, and get the organizer more personal power and advancement?
His non-support for Israel? His willingness to meet unconditionally with some of the world's worst tyrants?
His writing two books about, well, himself and outlining his non-accomplishments?
His throwing his grandmother and then his Pastpr/Mentor under the bus?
His funding whith others money of the hoptal where his wife works that resulted in her getting a huge wage increase of a sort sedonom seen in the "caring industries".
His not playing the race card by accusing you of playing the race card?
His big accomplishment of sitting quietly in a pew for twenty years listening to Reverend Wright decry the hated American "white establishment"? Maybe that would be an accomplishment if Barack had been chained and beaten while being forced to listed to Wright's bilge, as you were forced to do in the Hanoi Hilton. But Barack volunteered for this "servce" and sood it lik a (new) man.
Ah well, maybe we're just to complacent with the good times we've had here in the U.S., largely due to those "permanent things" the left despises. Maybe we're content that since we have fewer years to live than do our children, and we've worked hard, we can sit back and let the other fellsa as play at being earnest for awhile.
We've been spoiled by not having had the experience of those millions upon millions who lived (and more often died rutally) under leftist regimes in the 20th century. And most of our children, miss-educated by the likes of Bill Ayres, aren't aware of, or don't believe any of it did or even could have happened.
As I recollect, probably imperfectly, from Whitaker Chambers' marvelous book Witness, the final battle between left and right will be fought by communists and the ex-communists (Chambers was one); between those who have released the dogs of tyranny and cried havoc, and those who have seen the loss of freedom, sheer terror, and dehumanization, at first hand.
Sadly, seeing might truly be our only way to believing.
