It wouldn't be much of a fight since about 80% of the military supports President Bush and the country boys know how to shoot.

Lol, 80% (an exageration, but not by that much) of the military can't even control/secure/win Iraq.

It is only a desire to keep civilian casualties low that prevents them from turning insurgents into dust. Even at that, they are winning, it is just slower.

Im waiting. Prove this recent "divided nation" premise. The numbers are easily found.
Show me the division.

Well nobody wants to prove the "divided nation"

Here. Some facts. Now Id like some proof we are a nation divided.


President elected and % of popular vote

1976 Carter 50.1
1980 Reagan 50.7
1984 Reagan 58.8
1988 Bush 53.4
1992 Clinton 42.9
1996 Clinton 49.2
2000 Bush 47.9


If the % of popular vote is the evidence of this divided nation assertion? Point to the years where we were truly divided. Now explain how this is something new.

I pointed out this division a while back. In fact there is a whole website and book devoted to it: http://www.retrovsmetro.org/

That just it. It the same thing, perceived as a problem, with each generation. It only makes the division more apparent yet continues not to affect any one on a daily basis.
