9. I Have Been Saying That We Have Been In A Political Civil War For Months

And if you really look at what has been going on we have been in one since Obama was elected. The attacks on him and any liberal agenda have been fierce. We have gotten little accomplished in 4 years compared to what could have been done.

Even though Obama acts like a Republican in some ways, he has been labled a socialist, communist, Islamist etc. He is destroying the country in the eyes of conservatives.

You can go back to Reagan when everything changed and Newt Gingrich lent his hand in the obstructionist evolution. All you have to do is look at red and blue states and how they are divided. Look at all the states that refuse to implement the Affordable Care Act.

We are split in so many directions it is not even funny. The gun issue is even more divisive than other issues. Expect a particularly vicious and divisive fight as we try to move forward on sensible gun control.
