More and more people share these same sentiments, including myself. Individuals can no longer accept Washington bureaucrats micromanaging their lives in Oregon or New Hampshire.
Local control is needed, and European peoples are laying the blueprint as we speak: Flanders, Basque Country, Bavaria, Venice, etc. It is time to dissolve these empires once and for all. Local or regional control for the people and by the people, it's the only way.
That's be the WORST thing to happen to the US. I say because we'd be a bunch of weak ass little countries and could be picked off 1 by 1.
What are you talking about? It's usually ILLEGAL to discriminate by race in 2012 although affirmative action is Jim Crow. Sheesh!
It's officially illegal, but the United States has endorsed bigotry in hiring by overturning McDonnell Douglas Corp v Green with St Mary's Honor Ctr v Hicks. In the former, the U.S. established that corporations had to prove that hiring decisions were made based on qualifications, skills, etc. But the latter changed that; the Supreme Court required that victims of racism prove bigotry, which is nearly impossible.
That you don't know this begs the question: what kind of American are you if you don't know these rudimentary facts?

Well, we know what kind of american you are by simply "requiring" everyone to share your opinions.

How did you get that I require agreement on issues rather than that I expect that people whom have opinions on an issue know the most rudimentary facts related to the issue?
A very good writer is Max Hastings, the question that needs to be asked is why those in flyover country vote Republican, even those in trailer parks vote for them when they are on minimum wage.
Or does it boil down to god and guns ? and lack of education ?
It's about freedom, liberty and not needing the government to parent us from cradle to grave. I know this comes as a complete shock to some of you liberals, (hell, I'll admit, even I was shocked), but some people who "live in them thar trailer parks and eat raccoon for supper", actually LIKE how they live.
The most important thing is that the government stay the hell out of our business.
As for your link...the Daily Mail? LOL. C'mon. That's trash tabloid crap.

Opinions differ from facts. You do understand that, right?
Thank you for presenting a demonstration of the kind that this thread was meant to allude to. As a liberal, I believe it to be utter stupidity to even carry the notion of eliminating divisiveness with the authoritarians hell bent on being what comes naturally to them.
Plutocracy is using division to create a merger of state and private power into one tiny all powerful class.
