I thank Hugh Hewitt for his cogent and concise analysis, making it abundantly clear that we must find a way to divide as amicably as possible into two separate countries. I am simply not willing to ever live in a country in which abortion is outlawed, discrimination against lesbian, gay and transgender people is legalized under the guise of "religious liberty," and anyone and everyone can legally purchase weapons of war. I do not doubt Mr. Hewitt's sincerity nor that of the evangelical Christians who obviously feel otherwise. As he unwittingly pointed out, there is simply nothing more to talk about and no room for reconciliation. It is time to admit that the United States is finished as a unified political entity.

"Blue-exit" now, and I wish the remainder well, though I strongly suspect they will rapidly devolve into a Third World Christian theocracy. Apparently, that is what they most ardently desire.
