Over Memorial Day Weekend, my family (all but Matt) convened in Columbus, OH to spend some time together. Like any good Hillsdale grads and interested citizens, we started a conversation about politics and the forecast for the next election. The outcome of our conversation doesn't really matter, but my brother made a simply brilliant comment that will stick with me for life.
"Stupid people vote based on words; smart people vote based on actions."
Even if we read the paper and keep up with current events, let us not forget to consider actions. We all hope that right actions follow right words, but unfortunately that does not happen all of the time.
Be smart. Vote based on what a politician does, not what they say.
Where is the next post? I need something to look forward to after staring at spreadsheets for 12 hours.
