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 |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
