[[... But it was intentionally divisive...]]
"To everything there is a season, turn, turn, turn...."
There have been times in American history that called for "unity", rightly so.
But those times are -- at least for now -- over.
This IS a time for "division", for the taking of sides. For the other side, "the left", has declared war on American traditionalism. It's (for now) a "cold war", unlike the "hot war" of islam against the infidels in general and the Israelis in particular.
The left has moved so far from where traditionalists and conservatives are, that there is no "common ground" any longer. As they used to chant back in the Vietnam era, one is "part of the problem, or part of the solution". You can't be both.
We must take sides as did the North and the South back in 1861. We are that divided, now.
Just like Florence Reece wrote back in 1931:
"They say in Harlan County
There are no neutrals there
You'll either be a union man
Or a thug for J. H. Claire
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?"
... there are no "neutrals" in the struggle we face between the left and the Right, and of course the struggle between The West and islam.
Which side are YOU on ??
