Mr. Samples rightly describes our country as culturally divided. However, I hadn't heard that people were actually moving to "live near others who are culturally and politically similar." I didn't realize we were so rich we had that luxury. I always thought that, like me, people tended to move where there are jobs. Be that as it may, where are these places that I, culturally, politically and economically conservative, can move to? Everywhere I look, I see dysfunctional big cities, localities banning smoking on private property and state governments running deficits to the moon. The only place I see where I might find Americans like me is when I look up -- to the moon! And I'd go there if ever NASA would get out of low orbit!

p>Finally, regarding Samples's quote, "Once Obama stops talking about 'a common purpose' and starts governing, he will discover concretely how little Americans have in common." I think Obama already knows this as evidenced by the church he went to for 20 years as well as the radical friends he keeps. br> -- Douglas Skinner br> Alexandria, Virginia /p> p> CENSORED br> Re: Christopher Orlet's American Exceptionalism : /p> p>I must respectfully disagree with Christopher Orlet's statement, "Today such social criticism (of Protestant Christians) is considered 'stirring up racial hatred,' whether or not race is the element being criticized." In America's Democrat-controlled media belittling traditional Christians is not only acceptable, but a moral obligation so as to defend Muslim terrorists, hate mongers like Jeremiah Wright, racists like Bill Clinton, anti-American activists like Michelle Obama, slanderers of brave Marines like Democrat Representative John Murtha and national security Judases like Democrat Senator Jay Rockefeller -- and the sanctimonious NY Slimes itself. Other than that minor point I am in full agreement with the sentiments of the article especially considering the anti- 1st and 2d Amendment Democrats control Congress and are pressing ahead to elect a charlatan of "change" to the Presidency.
