    I think I’m left until I hang around with real leftists, then I realize I am not left. Republicans call me a liberal, and real liberals call me a libertarian. I’m neither of those things I guess, but a little bit of each of them.

      Me right friends think I’m too liberal. My left friends think I’m to right.

      I’m actually pretty damn moderate. The issue isn’t me, it’s people have become extreme and I haven’t.

      The only things I go far right are economic issues and national defense. I am very much a small government Republican.

        Gosh danged right! There are a lot of issues I’m more passionate about than an average person, but I’m not married to a single ideology, and definitely not 100% aligned with a party. It feels pretty demoralizing when this, which used to be the majority of people’s attitudes, leaves me feeling alone with my perspectives.
