I think America is far, far more united than the punditocracy would make you believe. Cable news media has to blab on about something and finds its audience by playing to the differences of people. But for the most part, this red state/blue state is vastly over-rated. Americans are Americans. The differences between conservatives and liberals are not much different than the same differences that you see in most other countries. The only difference is the American context in which it is set.
I agree in the sense that we seem to all have the same goals. The means of getting to those goals is very different, however. But what I find interesting is that the self-professed defenders of the right who ahve posted on this thread have refused to offer up their "vision" of the society their ideology would create. If they believe in the things they espouse, they should be able to see a decent world coming from those beliefs.
Yet all they've done is whine about "the left" and insult people. I find that pretty amusing. One would think they'd look forward to talking about the "vision thing".
