the culture war begins

At Toastmasters this morning, my friend Matt made an impassioned impromptu speech about the country not needing to come together to heal, because the two parties are so fundamentally different ideologically. He also talked about how that has historically sparked discourse and positive change.

After the meeting, we talked about how to connect the Blue States of America, and he quipped that the Dems need to take gun control off the table, since what keeps Montana and Wyoming from being blue is the "God, guns, and gays" rhetoric of the GOP.
