So, it's Tuesday morning and damn near every Red state wants to secede from the Union. Wow. As if we didn't have enough ammunition for the Obama-Lincoln comparison, this is just fuel to the fire. Not only is this election already being painted as the "fall of the white man" by the pundits, but now we're actually having elected representatives attempting to break apart the United States because their side lost an election. As if the grandstanding and hyperbole wasn't at a peak, now the party leadership is comparing this to pre-Civil War era. There has to be a choice made by the GOP leadership, and soon. Either agree to work with the Democrats for the good of the country and have their voices and ideas shape the future policy, or tear the country apart in a fight that they cannot win. This is beyond brinkmanship, this is pure destruction. We cannot go down this road.
