I think you're correct that a lot of people are unwarrantedly hasty to categorize as Democrat or Republican, but that's what you can expect in this relentlessly two-party system.<br /><br />So it probably derives from a need for people to fit others into convenient boxes to suit their preconceptions, which are often entirely too inflexible.<br /><br />I don't really care that much, however; they can -- and will -- think and say what they want. You can only control other people's impressions to a certain extent and I gave up worrying about it a long time ago.<br /><br />As for labels my views are constantly evolving and I can find something useful among nearly faction, including some pretty radical factions, although I draw the line 'round about the Westboro Baptist Church, things like that. Nothing useful there.<br /><br />And I abhor violence and think the American constitutional system and rule of law is genius. I guess you could say I'm an anarchist (Jefferson) with selected authoritarian (Hamilton) tendencies.<br /><br />Have a good weekend!illusory tenanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08524761974822871419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506514005426983269.post-56900307871053977162011-04-08T18:17:51.247-05:002011-04-08T18:17:51.247-05:00If I may, I'm going to venture into what I hop...If I may, I'm going to venture into what I hope will be a polite exchange in an attempt to get to know each other better.<br /><br />I'm not one to describe myself as Republican. I think it's one of the reasons I came up with Fairly Conservative. The double entendre fits for me. So, do you have a definition for yourself? I know labels aren't always appealing, but they are sometimes helpful.<br /><br />After all, would anyone reading our respective efforts hesitate in any way to say, "He's a Democrat.
