Self-labeled pragmatists aren't really pragmatic

Granted, but my point is there's a spectrum.  People who describe themselves as idealists can
be pragmatic, and people who describe themselves as pragmatists can be idealistic.  Saying
that self-described pragmatists are, to a person, interested in expedience at the expense of
principle or short-term benefit at the expense of long-term good is unfair and untrue.
