America Needs More Consistently Principled Individuals

At the blog The New Clarion, MikeN skillfully deconstructs a recent Leonard Pitts Jr oped wherein Pitts attempts to chastise Ron Paul’s “foolishly consistent…extremism.”  MikeN’s takedown of Pitts, titled Why we seldom get principled leaders, ends this way.

...My hope is that there are principled leaders out there taking notes on the election campaigns and deciding whether the public is ready for principled leadership. I think a growing number are. I just don’t know how big that number needs to be to turn this country around. Perhaps 2012 will give us a clearer picture.

While I appreciate that there is a need for principled leaders in this world, I think there is a far greater need for consistently principled individuals, because if there were a far greater number of consistently principled individuals, the need for leaders decreases exponentially.
