Here's the reality: Sectarianism was an urge our founding fathers
assumed we could overcome. And so, it has become our greatest vulnerability.
Why now a vulnerability? Is not America’s current political system debilitated,
or in the least undermined by this type tribalism? Sectarianism is a form of
bigotry, discrimination, or hatred arising from attaching relations of
inferiority and superiority to differences between subdivisions within a group.
Have we not witnessed the Democrat Liberal left work incessantly to split
Americans in ever smaller groups that are at each other’s throats? The democrat
left has become masters of doublespeak and attaching relations of inferiority
and superiority based on class, ethnic identity, gender, and factions within
political and regional movements. Adherents of a given faction may believe that
for them, for the achievement of their own political goals or plans, opponents
must be rehabilitated or purged. Notwithstanding the current Brett Kavanaugh Supreme
Court Justice confirmation hearing, better yet circus or fiasco. If
you want to get a sense of how bad sectarianism has gotten, we’re having fierce public
forum debates about transsexuals who, depending on how you define or slice and
dice it, make up less than 1/4 of one percent of the population. More and more,
the attitude is moving from the annoying, “You just can’t understand because of
your race/color/gender/class” to “You Hate Me, and I Hate You” because of
differences that are often conflicting and irreconcilable. Is this not
extraordinarily perilous to our future as a Republic? Can one really expect to
hold any group of people including a nation together for any length of extended
time when people no longer believe they share the same goals and values as
their fellow citizen? Is not our nation’s motto being E pluribus Unum (Out of
many, one)? But, what happens when liberals insist that the many never become
one? Therein lies the problem.
