(861 posts)I wish I had confidence he will do so, but I don't. If he "compromises" (read: gives in) or the gods forbid, cooperates, with some of the policies of the GOP right winger-totally insane congress, it's going to put a world of hurt on this country. Which can hardly take it at this point.

However, at the end of the war the soldiers from the north and the south were friends, met at reenactments. Confederate generals went to the funerals of the union generals that defeated them in battle.
Sometimes the ugliness of an ideology has to be exposed to the light in order for everyone to understand that it is wrong. It has to play itself out.

Same with Idaho, Alaska, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Arizona, etc.

Hateful remarks like the one above "where's Sherman". So helpful. Sarcasm.
