"Tyranny on the Potomac"

Most Americans believe there is 'tyranny on the Potomac,' and the news was reported by no less than CNN--a liberal bastion of Leftwing bias.

But the big news in the story did not get any media attention and is encapsulated in THIS:

There are a couple things about this poll that I find astonishing. First and foremost is the fact that the polling was done by CNN and that once they got their result -- which must also have astonished them -- they went ahead and reported it instead of burying it.

The second is that the divide is 56 to 44 WITH NO UNDECIDEDS. Every poll in the world I've ever seen has an undecided column in it. Not this one. This bolsters my contention that we are now, and have been for some time, two peoples sharing nothing but a border, a common language and an argument over which is to be the master -- the federal government or the citizenry.

We are in truth more alienated from one another than the Tidewater planter and the Maine lobsterman were in days before the firing on Fort Sumter.

No matter how the final scenario plays out in real life, we are not getting out of this without violence. If nothing else, the experience of human history tells us that. Events have gone too far.
