The more rabid Libertarians who have been coming on strong lately, who seem to me to have more in common with those who were running the streets of New York last weekend, have caused me to solidify my conservative views and to soften my libertarian leanings.
And the rabid paleos who keep popping up like self-parodies have caused me to move away from whatever leanings I had in their direction.
They do make quite a mess of this place though.
