Having come of age during the 1950's & 60's, I can testify that today's America is so sharply divided along cultural, moral and political lines as to be virtually unrecognizable compared to that country which existed during the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations. Back then, people, whether Democrats or Republicans, held to a set or shared values based upon the love of country, faith in God, hard work and devotion to family life. No longer. And it must be fairly stated that the cause of this fragmentation was begun by the rise of neo-liberalism and neo-conservatism in the political arena during the mid to late 1960's. People became polarized and have been at each other's throats ever since. I see no peaceful solution to this division, as each group sees itself as the sole repository of moral and cultural truth, while viewing the other as heretical traitors. The storm that began as "a little cloud like a man's hand" has now grown to hurricane proportions. My advice is, "you better run, you better take cover."
