Liberal or Conservative? Neither

I had a spirited discussion with a conservative the other day, who seemed to think that I was drifting too far to the left. From her point of view, I probably do seem too far to the left.

She was mistaken, though, on two counts. First, libertarians aren’t naturally more right or left. Second, in my case, there’s no drifting involved. If what I believe seems more or less inclined to one politics, it’s not that I’ve changed (to my knowledge, anyway) — it’s that the political world shifts all the time, and most people simply respond to those shifts. Bloggers are no different from anyone else.
