If you were to tag everybody who changed their minds about things a flip flopper, then anybody who is not a flip flopper is a total moron. Not changing ones mind in the face of new evidence, for the sake of maintaining consistency is the hallmark of a fool IMO.

Yes, it is appropriate to change ones mind on things from time to time when evidence and facts bear out your previous position as wrong.

The problem with John Kerry's flip-flopping is that it has been on EVERYTHING. And his position on a whole host of issues is dependant upon who he is speaking too. Recently he spoke to an arab/palestinian group and gave a speech in opposition to Israel's "security fence." But then days later, while speaking to a jewish group he came out in whole hearted support of the security fence, going as far as to say it was essential to Israels future.

The list of such examples is virtually endless.
