Culture Wars!

Does anyone actually want to be engaged in this kind of culture war? Is this the kind of division that serves anyone's best interest? What part of community organizing does not put country first? How does Palin's rhetoric here put country first? I understand that for a long time small town America has felt looked down on by the "liberal elite." But its not the liberal elite that have shit on your country for the last eight years. And now that we are given a chance to reflect upon the destructiveness of our being so divided over the last couple of decades why are we not bleeding a desire to really put our country first by putting that which divides us aside? In this election who even attempts to offer us a chance at this? McCain? Palin???
