The one primary principle of my personal philosophy is anti-ismism. That is, in all aspects of life I endeavor not to consciously join any movement or ideology that can in any way be described with a word that has the suffix "ism" or "ist." I am a conservative who opposes much of Conservatism. I am a libertarian who opposes much of Libertarianism, a republican who scoffs at Republicanism, a democrat who cannot fathom the mindset of Democrats and a liberal who seldom agrees with Liberals. I am a fundamental person at odds with Fundamentalism, and a vegetarian who loathes Vegetarianism. I want to protect the environment, but I am not an Environmentalist. I am fanatically opposed to Fanaticism and radically anti-Radicalism. I am a global thinker frightened by Globalist thinking. And while I'm sorry my white European ancestors wrought such havoc over the centuries, I am not an Apologist. I am a Christian, not a Baptist or a Methodist or a follower of Catholicism. And while I love the Constitution, please don't call me a Constitutionalist.
