QOTD: "So, today, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York City all demanded I apologize....Who am I say to no? I will apologize. I apologize to the millions of New Yorkers who have been abandoned for years by liberal politicians. I apologize to all the hard-working men and women in New York who like to have jobs, but Governor Cuomo banned fracking, so they don't get the jobs the people of Pennsylvania have.

I apologize to all the New Yorkers who are pro-life, pro-marriage and pro-Second Amendment, who were told by their governor — Governor Cuomo — that there is no place for them in state of New York because that's not what New Yorkers believe. I apologize to all the small businesses that are fleeing New York City because of the crushing taxes and regulations that are making it impossible to survive.

I apologize to all African American and Hispanic school children that Mayor de Blasio tried to throw out of their charter schools that were giving them a lifeline and a chance at the American dream. And I apologize to all the cops and all the firefighters and all the 9/11 heroes who were forced to stand up and turn their backs on Mayor de Blasio because over and over again, he sides with the looters and criminals instead of the brave men and women...

...Now I hope that was the apology they were looking for." --Ted Cruz

The only problem with criticizing someone for opinions they held 30 years ago is that---surprise---people change over time. What did Churchill say? “If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”

Thirty years ago, I was a feminist, pro-abortion, an atheist, and I voted Democrat. Today, I loathe identity politics, am pro-life, a member of the Eastern Orthodox church and believe in "small-r" republicanism and the superiority of the free market to lift humanity out of its miserable condition.

Freedom often results in growth.
