Perhaps I Should Put Up Flags

by Miep

I live in Little Texas. I am surrounded by people whose worldviews are very different from mine.

Some are libertarians. Some are likely neo-cons, and even neo-libs. Not very many true libs. I'm not sure how many true conservatives populate my region, either - old-time conservatives. The ones that really want to conserve things, as opposed to just steal them.

It's hard to work it out. People get so confused by the ongoing changes in nomenclature. And rightly so.
