Christi Adkins says "America 2009 is Poisonous Politics and a Country Divided"

Arguably, the great divide between liberals and conservatives in America has never felt wider than now. This pronounced polarization has grown in the past few years at alarming rates and can no longer be considered election undertones. This energized division was actually examined by Bill Bishop, a reporter from Austin, and statistician, Bob Cushing. Their three year investigation revealed a chilling trend:

“There’s a steady trend line from ‘76 to 2004 of the country being pulled apart-becoming more politically segregated. We began to see this pattern that we eventually end up calling the Big Sort… It’s at that community level that people are becoming more segregated,” said Bishop.

The distinguishing idiosyncrasies in ‘party’ segregation has aroused not just a political feeding frenzy, but a moral, ethical and financial rupture among all American citizens. According to ABC News, today, half of all Americans are living in polarized communities. Essentially, like minded people have migrated closer to like minded people breeding intolerance.

This dissension is being energized at an alarming rate by the internet, main stream media and talk radio-by the left and the right. Evidence of such dissension litters the networks as well as networking sites like Facebook and Myspace. These virtual communities of like-minded partisans’ breeds political poison which even further stimulates disunion. South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham told ABC News:

“The best evidence I think of how polarized America has become is that it makes news when Democrats and Republicans do something of substance together and that truly is a shame. We’ve gone from the Senate being presumed to be above party politics to where the news is we rejected party politics.”

While leading Democrats hoped that once elected, Obama would ‘unify’ the country, we see little along those lines. In fact, arguably, the country has never been in such turmoil. It isn’t simply a question of political affiliation, gender, race or religion: it goes much deeper than that. Some experts even suggest civil war, such as Professor Igor Panarin (Diplomatic Academy of Foreign Affairs Ministry.) Panarin theorizes this inevitable civil war with economic collapse leading to the country divided into 6 geographical parts.
