    Thank you, Wil

    for this little gem which as clearly and concisely gives us a microcosm of our country today.

    I fear this cold civil war we are living with can never be resolved....unless liberals totally capitulate to the madness around us...and cede the battle to the dark side.

    Alas, that is not a viable auction, and so there will be those who refuse to take a principled stand will claim that there is extremism on both sides.

    Our families are being torn apart. Our country is divided. And every day is a battle for sanity....because it is just too damn easy to win by appealing to the worst instincts of a frightened people.
