How Quickly Things Can Change . . .

Inspired by something I heard from Dennis Prager . . .

Imagine you were at a party 2 weeks ago and started a conversation with a woman you met. In the course of the discussion she expressed to you that she considered herself to be very liberal and a definite feminist.

With a twinkle in your eye, what do you think would be her response if you said the following to her: "I can't explain why, but I predict that if a no-nonsense, get-the-job done professional woman with a personality similar to Hillary Clinton, but 20 years younger, were to run for political office, you would vilify and condemn her and ask how on earth she'll be able to balance her family life with the duties of the job."

What do you think would be the reaction of this self-defined liberal feminist? Yet just 2 weeks later . . .
