TheTies that Bind? How Much Longer Will the US last?

[JimBowie1958]

From an old gospel song that used to be commonly known:

Blessed Be The Ties That Bind.

Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.

Before our Father’s throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one
Our comforts and our cares.

We share each other’s woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.

When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.

This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way;
While each in expectation lives,
And longs to see the day.

From sorrow, toil and pain,
And sin, we shall be free,
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.
*************************************

Love that song, but all the things that once held this nation together in common values, axioms, political basics, that is all polarized into opposite camps that cannot even understand each other any more.

Our ties have been unbound, so how much time for us remains?

How long? Who knows. But we do know factions in America have been at odds in more vehement and dangerous ways, and yet the USA survived.

Go figure

The frigging White Southern Conservative Christian culture of the Confederacy was not shared by all of the USA/America. And Jefferson/Madison versus Hamilton/Marshall was often viscious.

The misty eyed sentiments of violent and bigoted xtians pining away for the says of slavery, women treated like chattel and dragging homos behind their horse carriages is so touching.
