We are at war. You can pretend we can be one country again, but we can't.

We are at war, but where is the battlefield ?
Right now the war is still being fought within the confines of the system that those before us created. The one sure way that you will know that we have lost is when you can no longer have this kind of discussion on the net. The odds ( and all the money ) are stacked against us. But there is still hope; otherwise why bother to post here? If the only option left was to pick up my Weapon and fight, I would not be here .
Unless, of course, you mean that it is time for Dems to stop trying to foster bipartisanship all the time. That I agree with. The GoP deserves to be crushed, without mercy. But it can still be done in the public arena.
But if this is meant to be some type of call for revolt, it will not happen.
There may be riots and chaos, but it will be directionless .
Hell, there is probably an NSA computer tracking down the location of everyone who has posted on this thread right now. Not a conspiracy theory, just a frightening possibility.

Taking a antagonistic stance with all those that vote republican is a losing proposition for us.Could a republican confrontationally convince you to change your vote?
Many of the people who vote republican do not realize the damage that the people that they vote for cause. Those "pro life " republican voters who elected Tom Delay probably don't realize the role he played in contributing to the perpetration of forced prostitution and forced abortions in the Marianas islands. Those NRA supporters who plan to vote for Romney probably don't realize that Mitt (Willard) is going to make them so poor that they will not be able to afford anything other than a .22. Or that they will need that .22 when they retire to kill their dinner, because Mitt and Co will destroy their pensions.
It is important to point out that the turmoil in the rest of the world can very easily happen here. We have led a sheltered life , here in America. 9/11 was bad, but that kind of shit happens in the rest of the world every day .
The main point is that we are all here because we believe that there is still a chance to win this war at the Box.
