“I fear the worst. Right now Americans are angrier and more divided than I’ve seen them since the 1960s. What fires this rage is that we’ve become a post-Constitutional society,” says Michael Savage (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/michael-savage/), who is more alarmed than usual about the state of the nation. The talk radio host has much to say in “Stop the Coming Civil War: My Savage Truth,” his 25th book, published on Tuesday. Passivity is not the key here. The author is now asking the public to confront what he calls “the leftist administration’s successful and devious attempts to divide our country.” The battle lines: those who treasure the nation’s founding principles vs. those who undermine such principles in the name of change.
“Right now the prognosis is not good. We have an incompetent zealot taking the nation down the road of weakness and centralized governmental control of every aspect of our daily lives,” Mr. Savage declares. “Just as individuals snap when the pressure becomes too great, so, too, does a nation.”

So electing a Republican in 2016 will make it all magically disappear right?
As far as I'm concerned both parties are undermining the founding principles but for different reasons. Liberal Democrats are doing it in the name progressive ideology where everything is open to interpretation and acceptance no matter how bizarre. Conservative Republicans are doing it in the name of national security.
