Fiscally right on the vast majority of policies - center left on social issues excluding muslim immigration which I'm pretty far right on.
I like your accurate analysis on Skip.
But how can you remember everybody and their stances?
I only remember the Christian nutters and a couple of others.
I think the WR is the only place I've ever been accused of being a conservative.
Why not center since I'm a devout independent?

thats kind of what I mean by libertarianesque. Its not meant to be derogatory, its tough to pin down a libertarian or independent with the left/right paradigm.
I wouldn't necessarily say an independent is a centrist tho.
thats not a completely unfair definition, but I didn't mean that as derogatory to those I labeled as such.What's a centrist? Sounds like somebody lacking their own convictions.
No clue what I am. Maybe just a big flip-flopper. If I don't know what exactly I would define myself as, I don't blame others for not knowing either.
Center-right seems the most appropriate to me.
I guess then you don't consider the Libertarian party to be Libertarians?
Adding "Libertarian" and "???" to the list.
Though I suspect in many cases, they are one and the same.
well honestly a lot of it has to boil down to empathy. I think your pretty good at seeing the other side of things and not black and white like "poor welfare people are lazy". Also you don't hate muslims. So theres that.
I'm just kidding though, but in general I more or less seem to agree with you on most points and end up classifying you the same way I classify myself (liberal).

That doesn't seem too wild. Link to thread?Yeah that label tended to stick with anyone that's pro gun ownership. The wildest accusation was when Workers United went off on @Jack V Savage for being a right wing conartist or something.

Because you almost always argue for right wing positions.Why not center since I'm a devout independent?
That didn't happen. WU responded to some point I made by saying I should read more than just right-wing libertarians, and then he apologized when I said I was not a libertarian.
