What Am I? 

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who actually links to my blog. I don't think I've done that enough, and I should. So thank you very much.

With that out of the way, I have a question for all those who do link to me. I've noticed that the vast majority who put me on their blog rolls, and categorize their political blog rolls, put me on the "Right Side". That means I'm either labeled as being "To the Right", "Right Wing", "Republican", or similar. Only a few (like Dean) call me "Center", "Moderate", "Purple", or "Libertarian" (not that "Center" and "Libertarian" are synonymous by any means). To my knowledge... nobody claims that I'm liberal. If you think I'm liberal, let me know.

First off... I self describe myself as being a libertarian (small-l). I've talked about this a few times, here, here, here, and here. So if you throw me on the right side of the aisle... Why? Is it because you honestly think I am, because you choose not to have a third category, because it's convenient, or a secret choice number four that I'm not thinking of?

Nicole often times refers to me as her Conservative Republican friend... but I think she does that to rile me up more than anything else. For the record... here are some of my views in stark bullet points without any of the gray shading I'd normally apply if posting on any of these subjects individually:

• I'm for the right to keep and bear arms as an individual right.
  
• I'd legalize gambling.
  
• I'm against abortion, and would make it illegal under most circumstances.
  
• I'd legalize prostitution.
  
• I think government should be much smaller than it is now in general.
  
• School vouchers are oh so good and yummy.
  
• Legalize gay marriage.
  
• Privatize social security!
  
• Legalize drugs.
  
• I was for going into Afghanistan and Iraq, and think we should stay until its finished.

So what am I? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
