It is funny how our perceptions of people change.
At first I was not sure I could vote for Donald Trump. Then it came to doing it while holding my nose. Then I was glad I did. Now I believe he is the man of the hour. I was wrong. I admit it.
There are a group of people who used to be foundational in the conservative world. I think of Bill Kristol, Rich Lowry and Peggy Noonan. There was a time when they had something to say and fit into the world of traditional values and a belief in truth. Now they are just Never-Trumper hacks. We need to understand that it is not just the left that offers Fake News. Consider the Drudge Report, Fox News and National Review.
Actually it could be that what is changing is not my perception but the people. Either way we need to always make sure our thinking caps are on and our memories are working.

The longer some people are in power, the more corrupt they become.
ReplyDeleteWhat amazes me is they still try to bill themselves as conservatives and think we have not noticed. It is like guys our age wearing the gold chains and medallions with our shirts open to our belly button.
