| Introduction | In this blog, I presume to tell you how to vote. Consequently, you have a right to know where I stand. Politically, I describe myself as a fiscal conservative, social liberal, and libertarian leaning independent. My "photo" in this profile is extracted from my Political Compass test result. The site positions you politically along a two dimensional axis. They peg me as a centrist with right leaning libertarian tendencies. I think I also have an anarchist streak that does not show up in the test. "Where the state begins, individual liberty ceases, and vice versa." - Mikhail Bakunin (Anarchist). "Man is not free unless government is limited." - Ronald Reagan (Republican). I agreed with the sentiment and philosphy articulated by Ronald Reagan and amused by the similarity of his quote to the Anarchist Bakunin. Although I voted for Reagan, I am registered as a Democrat (In SF local politics,the only game in town). I guess that also classifies me as a 'Reagan Democrat'. For the 2008 election, I called myself a 'Hagel Republican' - Fat lot of good that did. |
