It’s as if they are being told they are a racist, or on the other side, being attacked and it has really set us up for a lot of grief.

"Th...Great piece! But, what is with this bit? <br />"The country now is more divided than at any other time in history – not only politically but racially and ethnically..."<br />Either you are under 45 and just never really absorbed what happened from the late 40's to the mid-70's, or you are just spinning off hot air to pump up the choir.<br />Last time I looked violence,riots and murder (on both sides) does not characterize the last 30 years, thank god.Guy DeWhitneyhttp://hereticscrusade.comnoreply@blogger.com
