In yesterday's Detroit News, political columnist Nolan Finley described new governor Rick Snyder as pragmatic because of his experience in business. But is that in itself a good thing? Pragmatism simply as pragmatism can lead to many errors. Indeed, it is the root cause of the moral relativism which threatens our world. It would be better to have a leader based in and guided by solid principles.
That the Governor leans conservative isn't really much comfort. Even Finley conceded that that would likely mean conservative disappointment on some fronts. We'll see what happens, but if Mr. Finley's words were mean to be a comfort, they fell short. If Mr. Snyder fails to address the concerns of the GOP's right wing base, whatever actions he takes will likely fall short of success as well.
