One Nation Under God

Yes! It can't be his god or her god it has to be whomever is speaking or acting's brand of god. Then as long as it is god's will it is OK. Kill people if they have the wrong "god".

This statement intrigues me. Looking from the outside it appears that some scars of the Civil War have never really healed. States seem to be much stronger than the concept of nationhood, at least in the practical sense, and they are mostly ideologically and politically aligned as they were in Lincoln’s time. It probably takes an external enemy to hold the United States together which could explain US foreign policy since 1945.

As I said, that is my view from the outside. I am open to correction.
 

On further consideration, I really don't know why we are divided; maybe we've always been this way. Or maybe merely my perception late in life.

Drifter, I blame some of this division on incessant red meat advertizing by some political action groups whose purpose is to divide and
thereby gain support of various factions. In many cases I don't think even *they* believe what they say. It's all about money.
 
Then another reason to end political parties on our ballots. Let all get to know the persons running so they will know they are voting for the ones that will do the job they want. So no more R and D on the ballots will make our voting much more honest.
