If you think this election will resolve the differences in this country, I doubt it. Since the 2000 election, positions have hardened; in 2004 the hubbub be came roars. The volume is only rising.

After ACORN rigged mortgages for illegals, then registered them to vote including the Dallas Cowboy Football team in Nevada, I’m not confident this election is going to be an “OH Well” on the 5^th of Nov.

The congressional GOP sold their honor for pottage. They’re toast.

However this election turns out, there will be turmoil. If Obama wins, a large part of the country will feel angry and powerless against the will of the left leaning blue states, the news media, Hollywood and academia. (In fact, they already feel that way, I assure you.) They will believe that ACORN created enough false voter registrations to put Obama over the top. If McCain wins, the left will riot and claim, “The Diebold machines were hacked!” The blue states, the news media, Hollywood and academia will resent that the will of the “dumb hicks” in flyover country overruled that of their “betters”. And we will hear the cries of, “Racism! Racism!” ad nauseam.

I hate to sound all doom-and-gloom, but I see absolutely no solution to this. Or at least no solution in which America stays in the same form it is now. I hope I’m wrong about that. I guess we’ll see.

This started with the spoiled kids of the ’50’s whose parents didn’t want them to suffer the pain of the depression and post depression life.

And of course, as David Frum has written, the sixties were really the vanguard, the early warning detector of the looming culture war, which rages–if a “cold civil war” can be said to rage–to this day.

Guess what brats, welcome to 2008 and the great meltdown.
