I agree with this observation:
"...the "partisan divide," you can simplify it. I think you could really cut to the chase and boil it all down by saying that the nature of the partisan divide today is, on the left you have a significant number of people who do not believe in this country. They just don't. They find fault with this country. They are trying desperately to change this country to accommodate whatever their version of values or whatever. They are not traditionalists. They're not interested in the past. They're not interested in the institutions and traditions that made the country great, such as the founding documents. They are more in favor of changing the Constitution. They're more in favor of blurring it and watering it down because it stands in the way of what they want.
The people on the other side of the divide -- you could call them conservatives, just for the sake of this conversation -- are actually formed, their foundation is the Constitution, and the Founding Documents, and the traditions, and the institutions that made this country great."
Regarding Castro, I hate his guts. However, there is nothing in this world like a good, aged Cuban Cigar (the Montichristo Edmundo is my favorite right now) and Cuban Rum.....
