Hmmm. Tough decision. I think, since I know me best, that I will stick to the labels I apply to myself, as opposed to something from LewRockwell.

Usually good thinking, but it always comes down to, "You ain't conservative enough, baby" by the end. That's why I usually don't waste my time, and I'm sorry for it when I do. Like now.

I quit listening when I discovered a day in the Brigader "Think Tank" was filled with Lego blocks and afternoon naps.

No problem with labeling oneself, the problem is with definitions. Words convey ideas and therefore make communication possible. Words, to be functionally meaningful have to have a common definition. When definitions are arbitrary it causes confusion. When the change is subtle, gradual or unnoticed it changes people's understand and that effects ideology and politics. The argument over what is a conservative is very important no matter who brings it up.

Yes I agree...I feel like I just wasted my time. I should have known if I read far enough I would find out that I'm not conservative enough. I guess the labels don't matter to me. I agree with the majority of writers on NRO and I have never read anything on rockwell that I agree with...oh well.
