When was the last time you heard someone say America is too polarized?
They might add that we’ll have a completely divided nation at the rate things are going. Instead of the United States of America, we will be the divided states of America.
The presumption of the aforementioned is that polarization is bad, not good. But what if the opposite were true?
To better understand our constitutional republic, we have to go back to the founding of our nation and the original Puritan settlers who preceded our government. Essentially, we were people seeking freedom and the right to be guided by our conscious and our God, without Big Brother watching over (or unduly taxing) us.
Bluntly put, those principles were conservative. Our forefathers opposed King George taxing us without giving us a vote, as it seemed reasonable that the fledgling colonists should have input in their pioneering lives. Moreover, they didn’t want to bow to a state religion. Our great-grandparents essentially wanted to love their neighbors as themselves and be left alone to prosper or fail.
GOP will do absolutely nothing but rake in donations. Socialist have one and will never leave. America is now Europe. Pay your taxes and keep quiet is the best advice. Thank you.
