“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.” — Antoine de Saint Exupery 

There has been a lot of talk about the need for unity in the Republican Party. The division is between two elements. One element has been referred to as Grassroots, Liberty or MAGA while the other has been called Establishment, Traditional or Republican In Name Only (RINO). Both sides invoke the spirit of Ronald Reagan and his claim that if you agree with someone 80% of the time they are not your enemy, even if you disagree 20% of the time. Both sides call for unity. But what is unity? We need a clear understanding of what “unity” means.
