andy predicts:
"I don't enjoy being the bearer of bad news, but the divide is irreconcilable.
There is going to be a conflict and a consequent division of some sort. It may not be war, but it will change everything we have known, regardless."And Bigun responds:
"I'm very afraid that's true"Fishrrman:
It
IS true.
And... such conflict/division should be prepared for. It is not for the other side to resolve -- it is up to US to do so.
Back in the 1770's, when the Colonists realized the same "irreconcilable divide", they took the first steps toward resolving it -- by calling for an assembly of delegates from the aggrieved colonies.
They met first in 1774, and then again in 1775, creating a body that forged a new direction for the colonies, documents never-before-seen in the world, leading to "a Declaration", a conflict, and an entirely new nation with a new form of government.
Those assemblies were (of course) known as The Continental Congress.
Without them, we probably would not have had the guidance that produced the United States as it lasted for 200+ years.
And Andy's prediction above is exactly why we should be thinking of convening a NEW Continental Congress, with delegates (again) from "the aggrieved states", to discuss what is coming and what must be done in response to it.
Wasn't it Ben Franklin who drew this?
The "Heartland States" must re-join into a new entity.
Or else wither and die under the weight of democrat-communism imposed from the Washington DC government.
