An
old proverb states: “A rotten apple spoils the whole bunch.” Many of us have seen how one rotten apple in
a basket can cause all the apples to spoil.
The one bad apple must be removed to save the rest.
This
same principle is true with people. One person’s
words or actions can impact an entire group negatively, but we should also not
condemn an entire group without trying to identify and eliminate the rotten
apple or apples.
This
principle is valid in business. When I
took over as manager of a recreational vehicle manufacturing plant, I had to
make a lot of changes fast. I did
identify a rotten apple in the plant and let him go. This move improved morale and productivity. I
later thought the individual had learned his lesson and hired him back. It was a mistake. I had to fire him again.
The
principle is also true in government and politics. There are many good people in the FBI, but a
few rotten apples at the top have hurt the image of the FBI. People like James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter
Strzok, Lisa Page, and James Baker must be held accountable or they will spoil
the credibility of the entire FBI.
There
are many good people in the CIA , but rotten apples like John Brennan must be held
accountable. The Department of Justice
must be held to a very high standard, and rotten apples like Loretta Lynch,
Eric Holder, and Bruce Ohr must be thrown out and held accountable.
Many
other rotten apples are spoiling the image of good government agencies and
departments. James Clapper in National Intelligence, Susan
Rice as a National Security Advisor, and Lois Lerner in the IRS all must be
held accountable.
One
of the worst rotten apples has to be Hillary Clinton in the State Department. Considering all the scandals she has been
involved with, how could she ever have been the Democratic nominee for
President?
Most
Democrats are good people. I have many
friends and relatives who are Democrats, but the Democratic Party has a big
problem with rotten apples. Left wing extremists
like Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, and “The Mob” seem to have taken over the
Party.
Republicans
have a problem with rotten apples too.
What is the problem with RINOS (Republicans In Name Only) like Mitt
Romney? I find it hard to believe
Republicans actually nominated him as their Presidential candidate in 2012.
We
have a real Constitutional crisis with corruption in government. How high does this corruption go? Did Obama know or had he lost all
control? This conduct must not be condoned
or treated as old news or forgotten. The
truth must be revealed and the guilty held accountable so this political
corruption by a few can never happen again.
God bless President
Trump and guide him to make America
“Trump did not bring division. Division brought Trump.
If you don’t see that, then you’re
part of the problem.”
