But that's OK. Consistency is not, in itself, a good thing. It depends on what you are consistent about. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said " A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines."
Being consistent as a "little statesman" about foolish notions on how to govern is not something to be proud of. To consistently advocate "socialist" policies for a nation whose framework is built upon individual freedom is a foolish consistency.
