Unity

By Blogger "Teddy Roosevelt"

Chairman Puharics's comments in the APP suggest that the ultimate value in his mind is unity.

Too use extreme examples merely to prove a point, the Japanese and Germans were united during World War Two.

The real question is united to what purpose. To merely hold the reigns of power a little longer. United in salving some career politicians ego. United because hey, we are not as bad as the other party. Not very compelling.

We need to be united in a new purpose. The people of this county ney the state and country hunger for a new type of party.

A party that is truly dedicated to rooting out corruption and back room deals. I do not mean the big your going to prison if caught corruption. Every party is against that. I speak of the minor corruption like cronyism and pork barrel spending which infect all levels of government. I speak of the corruption of purpose where what matters is no longer what's best for the public but what is best for getting a politician re-elected so that they can remain powerful and their ego be gratified.

That is the unity of purpose we should be seeking.

However history would suggest that unity can not be obtained without purging those who refuse the call to unity.

You can therefore determine what the purpose of a call to unity is
by looking at the values of those who have been purged.
