OK, I’m conservative.  No wait I’m liberal.  Huh?  Maybe I’m libertarian.

This is the funny, much contrived, and funny conversation I have with myself – when people who try to label me.

It get this a lot.

A friend who identifies with the Republican Party will say to me, “you are so liberal.”

A half-hour later, a friend who leans Democrat says, “you are such a conservative.”

When I tell another friend about those two earlier conversations, that friend says, “you’re a libertarian.”

And although I agree with Ron and Rand Paul on some things – I am no follower.

In fact, I follow no one.

Now, I love these reactions.  It means I am waking up people.  But granted, I like to challenge my friends’ beliefs – and see where they really stand.

And that’s what you should be doing.  But if you say to someone, “you are so liberal” or “Good God, you’re conservative” and you leave it there – most times you are trying to divide or denigrate someone – who doesn’t believe what you believe.
