Principles more important than politics

“If you put your faith in any politician, sooner or later, you will be betrayed. Whether you admit you’ve been betrayed depends on how fervent your faith in this politician is. The same goes for loyalty to a political party. I remember the political party my parents belonged to when I first became aware of such things. I also remember when they changed parties because the party they had always belonged to had turned into something they could no longer support. They stuck to their principles. I’ve noticed most people change to follow the party rather than let it go when this happens. Then there are those of us who don’t belong to any political party because none are principled enough for us. Or they have the wrong principles entirely.” (03/19/25)
