Don't mention it too loudly, though, or you'll be pounced upon by the faux-conservatives who are too new to this to recall back when conservatism meant playing a fair and honest game, not needing to resort to lies and coverups. :-(
We used to have the conviction and confidence to know we were right and didn't need to lie or mislead or distort. I've been asking lately, "when did 'ends justify the means' become a so-called conservative principle!?" :-(
The truth is the truth. Doesn't bother me.
