Unity is for leftists. Conservatives value the individual. Or used to.

I would say that unity for a just cause is good for America, and that conservatives value the freedom loving individual.

And it's still true.

It's true that there is one area on which conservatives must be unified. Where conservatives must share a "common good," as the socialists put it. That's on valuing and fighting for individual freedom, which we get from limiting the powers of government. IMO, most of the just causes behind which Americans unite, or should unite, are linked pretty closely to this idea. But the unity has to be voluntary, or it isn't real unity.
