Take away the dross from the silver, and the smith has material for a vessel; take away the wicked from the presence of the king, and his throne will be established in righteousness. <br />Proverbs 25:4-5<br /><br />A leader cannot allow dead weight and faithless advisors to stick around or they will fatally poison his administration.<br /><br />From Jay Carper at http://www.AmericanTorah.com.
