I have absolutely no clue what unites us anymore. When a Republican President is criticized by the left for how many times he says "America" at the state of the union, and a guy like Mitt Romney is called a sexist Neanderthal because he keeps a notebook of resumes of promising female employees, I don't know what meaning the word "united" has anymore, as it pertains to the USA. Half the country spends almost no time discussing policy or ideas, and 99% of their time telling you how evil the other side is.

It wasn't all that long ago, when the notion that people who have a wee wee should go to the men's room, wasn't a controversial thing to say. What's next? Too scary to think about.
