Only 30 years of consistency in the public record? I suppose that's pretty good...
Most public people have consistency all the way back to the last comma in the sentence currently being uttered.
"We must never cease to proclaim in fearless tones the great principles of freedom and the rights of man which are the joint inheritance of the English-speaking world and which through Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, the Habeas Corpus, Trial by Jury, and the English common law, find their most famous expression in the American Declaration of Independence."-- Winston Churchill
