Some people just Never want to be Together! Obama is wrong about one thing, he will not heal the divide between the two Americas. Why because it is a divide between two types of humans.
It is a divide between incompatible temperaments or personality. In every race, in every culture, in every country you will find the great divide.
Here is an example from the NYT:

TOKYO — A high-ranking Japanese military official was dismissed Friday for writing an essay stating that the United States had ensnared Japan into World War II, denying that Japan had waged wars of aggression in Asia and justifying Japanese colonialism.

There are history books in conservative Japanese schools that claim Japan won WWII, and never did any of the things the did in WWII. All that is American and Chinese propaganda. That's all crazy, right?
Who hasn't heard all about "Holocaust Deniers"?
What Democrat recently hasn't hung their head in wonder at the weird stupidity of the hard rights's hatreds of Obama?
What Republican has not been aghast at the suggestion that we "Share The Wealth!"?
They are Lost and We are Found!
The World is truly Them and Us.
The more sophisticated of "Them" or is it "Us" say well I don't like their "philosophies", or "ideologies", their "viewpoint" or whatever euphemisms. Bullshit, they just don't like that kind of person.
What kind of person is that you say? Well that's easy it is those like "Them".
I blogged in general about this on October 9th:
There are serious and real difference in those humans who call themselves Democrats and those who call themselves Republicans. For real guys. They are not like us!
Ask Dick Armey one of the Republican leaders of the 1990 Republican "Revolt": "... more interesting is Armey's non-apology apology the following day, when he told reporters he was simply making a broader point about liberals' wrong-headedness. "If you were a southern Anglo Baptist liberal, I promise you I would say you were not well educated and probably not a very deep thinker, because that's what liberals are," he said. "Liberals are, in my estimation, just not bright people. They don't think deeply, they don't comprehend, they don't understand a partial derivative, they have a narrow educational base as opposed to the hard scientists." (Washington Post September 25, 2002)
Now Armey is not a dumb guy. He is an academician, and has worked with "Liberals" his whole life. But this is what he believes them to be. Being a "Liberal" most of the time I don't quite recognize myself in Armey's description however.
You see we can not come together! We can't even work together. At best we may be able to work around each other in both senses of the word. That hard core 20% and their interbred 30% leaner's are not going to join us in celebration. So our hard core 20% and 30% interbreds shouldn't even think that they will come around. They won't.
The Pakistanis have a saying: It is all about Zar, Zan, aur Zamiin : Land, Women, and Gold.
You need Women to make more like you and land to live on and provide for you and fight from and gold to fund it all.
Class warfare ? You betcha baby. It always has been. It is either them or us. Don't ever trust Them and don't betray Us. No Kum By Ya. They/Us can't be changed. There will be no conversions.
On November 2nd I'm going to my doctor and up my meds. Not because I'm wrong to rant like this, no not at all, but because no matter what happens all I can do is rant. So, better to be a mellow fellow than sprout like a dragon's tooth.

Well, of course We are gonna have enemies. But We are still admonished to love 'em. Shoot, if we all really *were* brothers, whither the Gospel?
No, not enemies, Thems. Love'em, hell we marry "Them" and breed with "Them". Where do you think all of the inter-breds come from?
But they are still "Them". We wake up one morning and the "Them" has divorced one of "Us", left one of "Us" or shot one of "Us". Most Thems are not aware of being Them and many of Us are stupid enough to believe there is no Them. Get it? Only when That One comes along and calls us do we see the difference.
