Again, not my words, I just thought it an interesting read:

Nice article. I wish we could divide the country into 2 equal halves, and have the homeless, the entitlement fans, and gun control nuts in one side, and the religious nuts, pro gunners, and carry your own weight advocates have the other.

Yes, it was a split decision.

Your home is your home. Anyone who values everything that home is may have to pick a side.

Well I pick neither side so I recon that makes me un American.If I agree with neither there is no benefit to me and it would mean that if the two sides Neal mentioned where the only option if either win I loose.

In that case I'd find a new home rather than kneel to one of two sides that I do not agree with.Because a completely liberal state or a completely conservative state no dice.

Unamerican? IMO what home is by name is irrelevant. America, Canada, Germany, Japan, it doesn't matter. Home to me, is everything you know and love. It's your friends, your family, your property, your neighbors, your community. It's also your ability to come and go as you please and to make your own choices for yourself. It is also, IMO, the only thing in this world worth fighting for. Home isn't always perfect, but in the end it's still home, and you have to make a stand somewhere.

Now on liberal vs conservative state, I think it's obvious I've already made that choice, though not by design. In fact I live in the most conservative county, in the most conservative state. However, personally, I'm not big on religion, I could care less about abortion, gay marriage, and all the other big social hot topics of the day that Left or Right tend to get butt hurt over. To me, it's all small stuff when compared to your enumerated rights, and your ability to live your life how you see fit. Needless to say, I don't sweat the small stuff.
