I'm saying people here turn on their former heroes on a dime.

They don't say, "She's right on this issue but wrong on that one."

They rip them based on today's disagreement with no thought of past agreements.

Pains me to realize it and say, but in this respect conservatives are no different than libs.

I agree the pictures they post is irrelevant.

But I’d say that conservatives are not the same as liberals.

Liberals never, ever give credit even when a conservative does something they like. The treatment they gave Bush for 8 years — though in many regards he grew the government in size and funding more than Slick Willy did, ought to be enough evidence of that truth.

They never attack their own.
They never compliment an opponent.

We cannibalize our own at the drop of a hat to show that we hold the morality of an issue above the individual or the party.
We fall all over ourselves complimenting an opponent that says something we agree with.

In that regard, conservatives are very different than liberals.

As I said, she is a hero if she says something a conservative agrees with. She is the opponent if she takes the side we disagree with.
