Hybrid Country

Whenever there is one party in power in our government you will inevitably hear someone from the other party say "we are headed for disater, If we don't get the current administration out of power their policies will destroy this country." These comments to me seem to be directlt contridictory to what our founding fathers set up for us as a government. If you really think about it, our government is set up to prevent that very scenario.
One of the most treasured constitutional right we have is our freedom of speach. Each individual person is entitled to their opinion. Now, if we need unity and agreement for this country to work, then it would seem we are doomed. You cannot have unity and differences in opinion at the same time, or can you?
I had a very interesting example of unity vs disunity presented to me today. Lets say for instance you have two people and you find that when those two people meet and talk, you find that they both have the same smartphone. Well, you would then be able to conclude that these people are united - correct?. They have the same phone, therefore they are united. But then, when you look a little further, you find that when you check the contacts and apps on each phone they are very different, in fact one person could not function with the others phone. There lives would be in turmoil until the could change the phone to contain the information they need to function. So then they must not be unified correct?
I say to you that unification is not dependent upon people acting and thinking the same way. Probobly one of the biggest issuers I have with the concervative view, is not their beliefs at all, but the need to call all other views lies. They claim all who disagree with them are unpatriotic, people with liberal opinions hate america. I say to you nothing could be further from the truth. In fact the policies of the current administration which are very liberal and impose a larger amount of taxes on the american people to pay for government programs, and the policies of the concervatives who wish for less taxes, smaller government and free markets are unified. Both partiers have a common ground in patriatisum. Yes, the apps and contacts are different, but both parties begin with the same smartphone, The United States of America. Both parties have the same phone, they just have different apps. Both parties  are doing what they believe is in the countries best interest, they just have different opinions on how to achieve the american dream.
The problem is not in the idea that we have different opinions. The problem comes when one opinion feels the other opinion is wrong and must comply with what they believe in order to be a patriotic american.
Do you remember when Toyota created the Prius. For most of us, this was the first time wer had ever heard the term Hybrid, however, we have been living in a hybrid society (The only one of its kind) for more than two centries. At times, this country will need to run on a smaller, less intrusive form of direction, which conserves money and power and still keeps us moving forward, while at other times, we will need to move faster, or need more power to keep our country moving forward. A unique form of republic government, where the people periodically vote on which type of government we need based on the current conditions of our country. If we lose either one of these driving forces, we lose the ability to have the american people chose their government. We lose our fundamental right to speak, have an individual opinion, and the choice for the direction of our country.
A vote for one type of government over another is NEVER a moritorium to dispense with the type of government currently facing defeat at the poles. The current climate simply didcates a change. The climate will change again and we will need the other form of governmental patriatism. To think otherwise is to say we do not need opinions. We are fine with one trane of thought, all the time.
Nothing could be further from what the founding fathers setup for the United States of America.
