When the Polemics Ruined America: The Divided State of Our Country

The Republican Party is headed down the wrong path.

Conman Karl Rove and Conman Dick Cheney carry flames fueled by Presidential Conman George Bush, Conman Sean Hannity, Conman Ann Coulter, Conman Bill O'Reilly, and Conman Rush Limbagh. Their flames light an all too familiar path for America; if we continue to follow these flames the morning sun will reveal a sad reality of regression to a pre-civil war America.

In the recent Presidential election, for example, we saw two campaigns for "change;" only the strategy of the Republican party, when scrutinized, ran almost exclusively on oppostion to the Democratic party. Besides cutting taxes and remaining at war, we heard far too little Republican party policy and far too much Democratic apocolyptic mumbo jumbo. If you listend only to Republican Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, you might think that the Senator Osama Terror Hussein of Illinois were running on the
