Healthy political considerations focus upon how to wisely allocate scarce resources to promote personal and communal integrity in balanced ways. Perverse political considerations focus upon the use of the public trust and power to advance the power and self-satisfaction of those who have been entrusted with power. "Politics" with its bad connotations is rooted in the behavior of politicians which flow from their consideration of their personal advantages and interests at the expense of the communal advantages and interests. The difference between wise political considerations and selfish considerations is not always clear cut. To be an effective political leader a person must make accommodations and compromises. To acquire and retain power to exercise on behalf of the constituency is part of the responsibility of the effective political leader. The retention of power is not just selfish. The earning of respect is not just selfish. Both requires an appropriate amount of conformity to political expectations. The differences between responsible and irresponsible behavior become rather fine. The differences can not be very clear to the uninformed. Yet the reputation of political leaders rest in such fundamental but fine differences. The fundamental differences pertain to fundamental motivations and transcendent ideals. Corrupt politicians lose sight of transcendent ideals pertaining to personal and communal integrity and integration, and permit selfish or special interest motivations to dominate at the expense of the public's general welfare. Corrupt politicians tend to be people who have corrupted legalistic approaches to questions of responsibility rather than sought the most integrative patterns of behavior which creative minds can envision. To them politics becomes a matter of technical procedures, manipulations and controls; not a matter of love. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
