“Sanity, you speak with true sanity, but I'm left puzzled. You claim to be a non-ideologue, yet your views are so truly conservative. More loyal to the GOP than many members, more loyal to the President than many Conservatives. Where do you vent your criticisms of the Administration, I have no doubt you've got some?”
Someone once called me a pragmatist and I think that’s about sums up my philosophy. Almost everything I do is driven by “the bottom line”—and I don’t necessarily mean monetarily.
I don’t take on fights I cannot win. I believe in choosing—carefully--the hill I am willing to die on.
I don’t expend energy and the most precious resource I have—time--on idealistic dreams that have less than 50% chance of succeeding.
Above all, I believe that the more information you absorb, the better chance you have of attaining your goals—of winning. Thus I work toward seeing as much of the big picture as I can.
Ask any chess master…it is the move he never considered that forces a “mate”.
So to answer your question, I rarely criticize Bush and his administration.
As far as I can tell, the only ones who benefit from doing that is the Liberals.
And frankly they don’t need any more help.
