Bipartisanship No Longer Applies

[T]here is now a palpable division in America. A division which is as impregnable was the separation the bible says is between heaven and hell. There are two Americas. One America which wishes to preserve American culture, American tradition, and the American Spirit. And another America that wishes to fundamentally change everything and remake everything in the image of Europe or some unknown utopian fictional spot in someone's liberal progressive mind.
Hearing a Conservative speak about the need for bipartisanship is like hearing a Democrat ask for Russia to help in U.S. elections, with all that has recently transpired neither makes any sense.

Democrats have brought the United States and Russia to the water's edge of a new Cold war. Democrats have accomplished this by making the hysterical and unsubstantiated claims that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential elections thereby allowing Donald J. Trump to defeat Hillary Rodham Clinton for the presidency.

Base on this unsubstantiated claim our U.S. Congress fashioned a sanctions bill to punish Russia for the alleged non-crime of meddling in U.S. elections. They then forwarded that bill to the president for his signature. The president has been relentlessly, brow beaten for better than 7 months with scurrilous charges that he colluded with Russian. So much so he has been virtually forced to sign this unsubstantiated bill into law. Lawmakers on both sides have to know is bill will destroy all on-going diplomatic relations with one of the most formidable powers in the world today. Yet they are more than willing to do it because Democrats and some Republicans in Congress want to slap unjustified sanctions on Russia. This way they deflect their constituents' attention away from how wrong they were about what the American people wanted. In addition, their sanction of Russia also helps their effort to delegitimize the Presidency of Donald Trump

This notwithstanding, there is now a palpable division in America. A division which is as impregnable was the separation the bible says is between heaven and hell. There are two Americas. One America which wishes to preserve American culture, American tradition, and the American Spirit. And another America that wishes to fundamentally change everything and remake everything in the image of Europe or some unknown utopian fictional spot in someone's liberal progressive mind.

Realizing that there is this stark contrast, how then can a Republican any Republican say they are interested in working in a bipartisan way with Democrats? If Republicans are for American culture, American tradition and the American Spirit and Democrats are for fundamentally destroying American culture, American tradition and the American Spirit how in the world can a Republican reach across the aisle and work with the Party that is the sworn nemesis of America?

And no, the irony has not escaped me that in a bipartisan act Congress Republicans and Democrats voted to sanction Russia. This is my point. The only bipartisanship available now is a bipartisanship that Republicans will join Democrats in very destructive ways and acts that will only hurt America.

It is fact now, that when either Democrats or Republicans speak about Bipartisanship both are speaking about Republicans abandoning conservative values, abandoning American culture, American tradition and the American spirit to join Democrats to work against and destroying these ideas.

The word, bipartisanship is a dog whistle! It is mouthed by Republicans and Democrats to mean something that you and I can't hear. What the Congressman or Senator is really saying is they are about collude against Donald J. Trump. And they are also going to collude against America and the American people.

Bipartisanship between Republicans and Democrats that used to benefit the American people no longer exists. Instead today's bipartisanship is a red rover, red rover call for Republicans to come over to Democrat values and causes.

Therefore and unfortunately in America until Democrats repatriate bipartisanship no longer applies.
