YOu are correct, if you're a politician, you're a "flip-flopper". Why do people call Romney a flip flopper? Easy, he’s currently the Republican front runner so the leftist mainstream media are focused on destroying him rather than reporting the news.
Santorum, Gingrich and Paul each has a vision for America. A twisted, pernicious vision, but a vision nonetheless. Romney doesn't believe in anything. He'll just say whatever he thinks will get him votes today.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
