but I did not call you stupid, nor did I intend to suggest such. I said that secession was a "stupid idea", not that the person discussing the idea was stupid. I stipulate that you are quite bright, and tenacious by reading your posts. I also suspect that you are driven to seek perfection in government and it's operations. It's noble, but you will be disappointed.

Humans always fight among themselves, I have always hoped that we could reduce the amount here at home and then abroad, but it will never go away, we have to live with it.

Rebelling will only de-legitimize liberals and give more credibility to the far right. They will happily apply the labels of "traitor, insurrectionist, and collaborator" and smugly say "we told you so". Don't help them by acting in anger, and don't give up on the red staters either, most are not acting out of hate, just out of concern for their families. True, we tried for 4 years, let's try another 4 years and this time let's be nice and tone down the rhetoric. I believe we'll get results.
