Credit where credit due — John Blankley changes his mind

He opposed removing cops from Greenwich Avenue before he was for it, and good for him for rethinking it; i admire a man who is capable of rethinking his position (especially when that new position is in accord with my own — the true mark of genius in a man is the extent to which he agrees with you).

Blankley gives his reasons for his switch in the linked-to article. but I just thought that, having frequently lambasted him while he was in office, I ought to acknowledge that he’s acknowledging a rethinking of an issue because of reflection, and not because of political pressure or a desire to appeal to some future constituency. That’s admirable.
