I'd like to take this opportunity to list all the USMB liberals who have conceded that some (any) of their devoutly held positions and beliefs were ever proved to be mistaken.Ok. That's that then.

I have been advised (often) by a litany of (mostly) "liberals" that if one changes one's mind, then one is a "welsh."
Apparently, it is the liberal orthodoxy that changing ones mind is verboten.

Ironic coming from the right who used "flip-flopping" as a derisive term for changing one's mind.
because they had no damn core principles on -- ANYTHING.
true and funnyPolitics isn't about facts in this country. It's about team affiliation. Tow the party line and your party will be happy with you. The other won't, but they're evil anyway. Admitting that one aspect of the party line is mistaken compromises the entire ideology and is seen as treason by your former team.
"mea culpas" are always acknowledgementsLet's say you are in a political thread, you have a set position on a certain issue. Let's also say you've held that position forever. When someone makes a more compelling argument as to why your position is wrong, are you allowed to change your mind? For me, it is quite easy to change my position. I find that being too rigid in beliefs tends to make one cynical and obsessed.
What certain people label as my "mea culpas" are acknowledgements that there are in fact superior arguments to my own. I myself am not perfect, unstable persona and all. But even still, I can admit when I'm wrong. My dad taught me that, and it's easier to admit a mistake than to hold it in and let it eat you alive.
So, why is it seen as a weakness to admit a fault? Is there something wrong with changing your mind? Let me know what you think below. And don't forget to vote in the poll!

Ironic coming from an avid supporter of Romney, Palin, Bush jr and unindicted Cheney.

You are wrong yet again Dizzy.
The problem here is that you disagree with their core principles. That doesn't mean they lack them
as you libs do.

Right. Any assumption that you libs have any core principles would do that.
Consistency: you have it in spades.I'd like to take this opportunity to list all the USMB liberals who have conceded that some (any) of their devoutly held positions and beliefs were ever proved to be mistaken.Ok. That's that then.
What a great idiot!What a great thread!
