Dissent versus Divisiveness
Burt Prelutsky has an excellent column on Townhall.com about the silliness of Democrats accusing Republicans of being divisive.
Democrats boast about encouraging dissent while accusing anyone who disagrees with them of being divisive.
Both parties are guilty of overusing the goal of "uniting the country." What politician, or any salesman for that matter, doesn't want to unite the country behind his or her campaign? Can you imagine a salesman advertising that he only wants half the people to buy his products? Instead of criticizing the politicians, perhaps I should say that the voters are too prone to buy into the "unite the country" sham.

Thank you! This is 100% correct, and people need to call bollocks on that unity line more often. It's not happening, unless it's Sept. 12, 2001 and almost everyone in the country unites behind Bush by default.
