Reply #10: An old lesson: [View All]

Alone, we are like individual fingers that our enemy can easily break. Together, we form a powerful fist capable of protecting our interests.

It is good to recognize that this powerful fist has four fingers and a thumb: no two are exact. Thank goodness for variety.

In politics, and especially in our party, we need to appreciate those differences. Each individual, like each group, will have some strengtyhs and some weaknesses. Yet if we all had the exact same strengths, and the exact same weaknesses, our party would rapidly degenerate, and it would always be easily defeated by even a weak enemy. Other people's weaknesses are not something that we should point fingers at, make fun of, or despise, any more than other people's strengths are worthy of some type of worship. We need to think in a more progressive manner than do children in Jr. High School, or our enemies will always treat us like 7th graders.
