You like lying apparently.

You've never heard of Google apparently.

I know you’re usually referred to as a conservative. Do you think of yourself that way?

I don’t. Because if by “conservative” you mean trying to preserve something from the past, I have no particular reason to do that. Right now, the public schools as they exist I would not want to conserve. There are other things I would want to conserve. But conserving something just because it’s there has no appeal for me.

What would your preferred label be?

I prefer not to have labels, but I suspect that “libertarian” would suit me better than many others, although I disagree with the libertarian movement on a number of things — military preparedness, for instance.

Is being a black libertarian tough? What are the assumptions people most often make about you?

Being a liberal or a conservative or a Marxist has never made that much difference in my life. I’ve never been someone who was courting popularity...

“There are other things I would want to conserve”

So he is a conservative because he supports traditional marriage (as I said), and opposes abortion (as I said); and unlike libertarians (which as he says, he opposes).
