Can you admit when you were wrong?

I can. Yesterday I posted a question about women of the Democratic Party. The information I had painted a picture that said they completely refused to stand and recognize a good star mother during the presidential address.

This is an act that I thought was deplorable.

Through discussion with folks on this site, they presented evidence that disputed my article I posted. Upon review, I believe their position was more correct than mine. Technically they did stand at the beginning and they did applaud.

They did not stand as long or applaud as much as others even within their own party. This alone is not something to be critical of. They rendered honors and respect. I acknowledge this and thank the two ladies that brought their side of the story to my attention.

I'm not interested in proving one party is right over the other, I'm only interested in the truth.

Shame on the blaze or any other site that misrepresented this instance.

That is all.

I am frequently wrong and am missinformed which I take responsibility for being. That is why I like to here from everyone and try hard to get the fullest picture possible before forming an opinion about anything. Then I still often get it wrong.

Thank you for offering a more accurate depiction of the speech as you learned more information. No doubt both sides jumped into the fray before knowing what we were actually taking about.

The spirit of debate is kept alive here by the willingness to listen before arguing a point and by synthesizing new information as we find it, regardless of what that evidence supports. Debate is meant to progress opposing sides toward a common understanding. It's a sign of maturity and character.

Keep contributing. We lock horns frequently, but it keeps them sharp.

Unfortunately the media disparaged her ... and since they are all the left had to fight with... I spread that blame evenly among democrats. There is nothing to gain from insulting a widow of a serviceman killed in action .... NOTHING... except undying contempt for them. 😠
