In the years leading up to the Civil War, the divisions between North and South became so irreconcilable that members of Congress would arrive on the chamber floor armed with pistols. At one point, Massachusetts senator Charles Sumner was brutally beaten with a cane as he sat in his chair in the Senate. It wasn't just that emotions ran high. It was that both sides began to see the other as aliens – citizens of a different country. |

There is no reasoning with delusion, and the left is delusional. As to 'both sides seeing the other as aliens', the truth is that one side IS alien, and the other is not.
THEY are the aliens, Q.E.D. Ours is the original founding philosophy and therefore is indigenous. Theirs is the insurgent Marxist infection and therefore is alien.
And there is no 'reasonable' way to reconcile that. |

TO REMEMBER |
| They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note: This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work. — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ] |
