Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are core values
that have defined Americans for over two centuries. In a
time when many pundits argue that America is a politically
divided nation, Martha Zoller, a radio and television
personality herself, argues that in our shared national
history we have more common ground that unites us as a
people than divides us. Beyond this, her book, Indivisible:
Uniting Values for a Divided Nation, claims that there are
values uniquely unifying among us that can and will propel
this great nation into a new day. While the national media would have America think that the
country is evenly split over the major political and social
issues of the day, and that the nation’s founding principles
are nothing more than glittering prose from a bygone era,
the reality is one of stark contrast. The true mainstream is
the faith and belief of middle America that holds true to
the ideological and political right-of-center. Even though
some may disagree on the details, a majority of Americans
are not as distant on issues as has been claimed. As Ed
Gillespie, Republican National Committee Chairman in 2004,
observed during the recent elections, "the red states are
getting redder and the blue states are getting purple." Martha Zoller pinpoints a wide range of issues where she
believes the American public—the voters—are unified, from
health care and abortion to terrorism and the war in Iraq to
social security and public education. She argues that if the
American public embraces the commonality that is inherent,
America as a whole will be reshaped into the unified and
indivisible form originally intended—a government for the
people and by the people.
