  1. Only during times of war has our country been unified. And that's true of everyone, even Genghis Khan's Mongols. But even that hasn't been working for decades. (We weren't unified in Viet Nam, or Iraq.) We are a melting pot: The U.S. has all kinds of people, with different points of view, unique talents, and individualistic hopes and dreams. Because of this, we have always fought each other, going back to the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794, to say nothing of the decades leading up to, and following, the Civil War. But we are a special place (or we have been) because of COMPROMISE, not acquiescence. And, yes, compromise is nearly impossible with politics now being a team sport.
