Certain as I am that the GOP frontrunners will flick aside this unsolicited and unwanted input from a single voter, there are some issues that require addressing. For reference, having been raised by an old-time democrat who ran campaigns for newcomers like Mark Hatfield (yes, the history goes that far back and crossed party lines) I’ve walked the inside lane of liberalism but discovered my conservatism decades ago while running a newspaper. There’s nothing like investigating real facts to reconfigure an idealistic mind – if only the tactic worked among today’s youth but that’s another column. To the point, these tidbits of “wisdom” derive from experience not emotional reaction, the hallmark of progressivism.
