The greatest threat that faces the US isn't terrorism, or Russian nukes, or socialism, or Obama, or the new oligarchs........
The greatest threat facing America is YOU!
Polarization is the most dangerous threat facing our nation today. Political polarization, social, ethnic, you name it.
A house divided can not stand.
Obviously polarizing us one against another is a tool to make us the people weak so leaders that we despise can still manage to get elected. Divide and conquer. But the net effect is that it makes our nation fragmented, promotes conflict, erodes social cohesion and erodes the very fabric that binds us together as a nation of people sharing a common national mission.
The bottom line is that as a nation we are no stronger than the bonds we share to our fellow citizens, PERIOD!
Whatever your party, preferences, self interests, ideology, etc, all of that is secondary, tertiary, ranks last.
If your first priority is anything other than finding common ground and uniting your will with your fellow citizens wills and directing that united will toward a national effort than you are far, far, far more dangerous than terrorism.
We were too strong to ever be defeated by an outside enemy. But as our unity and cohesion fragment we are becoming weak, ineffectual, act contrary to our own self interest and worse of all enable a bought and paid for leadership that betrays us continually regardless of which party holds power today.
In synopsis, the parties are the problem, if we subscribe to and support their "divided and conquered" agenda then we as a nation will fall.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Think about it before you post some asinine retort that means nothing.

~regarding Patrick Henry of "Give me Liberty or give me Death" fame.Let us trust God, and our better judgment to set us right hereafter. United we stand, divided we fall. Let us not split into factions which must destroy that union upon which our existence hangs. At the end of his oration, Henry fell into the arms of bystanders and was carried almost lifeless into a nearby tavern. Two months afterward, he had died.
