Words to live by
Which presidential candidate said this?:
I would say that every day you have the opportunity to demonstrate courage. You have a choice. You can decide to be someone who tries to bring people together, or you can fall prey to those who wish to divide us. You can be someone who stands against prejudice and bigotry, or you can go along with the crowd and tell the jokes and point the fingers. You can be someone who believes your obligation as a citizen is to educate yourself and learn what is going on so you can make an informed decision. Or you can be among those who believe that being negative is clever, being cynical is fashionable, and there really is nothing you can do anyway.
Notwithstanding the occasional tone of this blog -- blogging lends itself to the heaping of scorn rather than "bringing people together" -- I entirely agree with these words and their implication.

As with all politicians, you must watch what they Do, not just what they Say. In particular how what they say today, contrasts on what they did then.

Ah yes, because changing your mind is always indicative of insincerity, and never, yknow, actual thought.
*Real* men and women of character don't change their minds - they just blindly go on believing the same thing forever, amirite? 'Cause you gotta have *faith*.

Well, changing your mind is a sign of intellectual thought, *unless* you change it every day depending on a poll. What I specifically object to is Ms. Clinton’s history of saying one thing and doing another, or changing her opinion and claiming she had always maintained her new and improved position.
