Is America at War?

[qwerty]

So after doing a lot of thinking about the latest events in general--what with Obama getting elected President and whatnot--well, all of a sudden, out of the blue, a thought struck me.

I wanted to ask all of you, out of curiosity, if you think America is at war. And no, I don't mean the War on Terror, or anything related to that. I'm talking about the kind of war that doesn't really use explosives or armies of soldiers. I am talking about the Republicans and the Democrats--I mean, it just sometimes seems like each individual party is bent on having the country go the way they think it should go, and in some ways... well, if things keep going like this, with the two warring political factions, things could just get messy.

At times I almost wonder if one political party might be better, because this almost seems like a political-civil-war--just a war without weapons, but where words and ideals are used. But at the same time... it's still nice to have the ability to choose a point of view you'd rather support. Although lately, I find myself more of a middle-of-the-road person, more than anything else...

But meh. What do you guys think?

i'm not really too sure on this one, the economy isn't good at all right now, but still it's not as bad as the great depression was:p

Well the economy problems aren't unique to the US.

As to the Rep/democs issue. To be honest, both sides have so strong patriots that would commit suicide at seeing the nation divided.
Not to mention quite slowly gaining federal government, which IMHO should have somewhat more power on a number of issues than it has now.
