(13,943 posts)after W. Bush nearly wrecked the country, and got us into wars we still die in. I know that many critics of Obama act as a fifth columnof Putin right and Jill stein left, but if there is one critique of Obama, it is that he did try the whole "malice toward none, charity for all" approach" to "unify the country." I did not choose that metaphor by accident, after all, Obama compared himself to his fellow Illinois president, but also we all know that Lincoln got paid for his efforts by assassination, after which a confederate general named Nathan Forrest from the KKK, clawed back every concession, and pretty much continued right where Lee left off. Indeed, it is no accident that many GOP are actively engaging in the whitewash of the C.S.A.
in other words, let''s call this what it is, a COLD CIVIL WAR with agents actively wanting to make it a hot one.
