Man is not perfect.

That's the bottom line.

NO man says all the right things all the time, nor does all the right things all the time.

(Easy now, I'm a born again Chridtian .. these comments are from a man's point of view)

We'd do well to remember that we're fallible and that our views and opinions often change with varying circumstances during life ... while living it.

I was an idealistic hippy once.

Some are more fallible than others. It angers me that Duranty is in the history books as a first class journalist and Lord Keynes is considered the greatest economist of the twentieth century, but Birchers are crazy. Where’s the justice?

Then again, everyone still thinks Nero fiddled while Rome burned, Marie Antoinette said “Let them eat cake,” and FDR got us out of the Great Depression. Probably most of what I know is BS, too. Why would expect any kind of justice?

I grew up with JBS parents - that was what turned me onto politics.
Some stuff was a bit wacky, but in general they were pretty spot on with their analysis.

Read "The Polititian" - JBS tome on Eisenhower (still have an original printing) - didn't agree with most of the suppositions - but they were right on a lot of things.

WFB and Goldwater were not perfect Conservatives (by far) - everyone has "stuff" (log in own eye....).
