Liberals always tell you a lot about themselves by their analysis. What they call triangulation is really just a consistent political philosophy. NSA spying on all Americans, using the military to overthrow Assad? How are those conservative principals?
Bingo.
Ted Cruz also recognizes what doesn’t work and looks for a different way.
For instance the Israeli/palestinian issue. Ted Cruz says its time for the USA and everyone else to get away from the negotiating table and let the Israelis and Palestinians do the negotiating between themselves without our or anyone else’s interference.
Exactly. Their "analysis" clearly shows how little they understand about conservatism and just how knee-jerk liberalism really is. Without any firm principles, the adherents to liberalism float in the breeze on whatever feels good, or sounds fair, or fits within an ends-justify-the-means rationalization. It's why they can't understand conservatism. Liberals can't admit truth exists, is fixed, and isn't defined by human ideals.
