Good post! Should be required reading. Here's the most important part: As I've said before, the whole idea of attacking, generalizing about, or attempting to argue with "liberals" or "conservatives" as a group is pretty futile, since no consensus definition exists for either term, and many people who hold liberal opinions on one issue hold conservative opinions on others. Discussing issues is a good deal more rewarding and a great deal less likely to offend than attacking either individuals or undefined groups. I can't count the number of types I've been branded a raving demolib Klintonista for espousing essentially libertarian positions. You're definitely not a raving anything. Except maybe raving reasonable. In some circles on SI, failure to worship at the shrine of St. Ronnie is considered presumptive evidence of being at least a tree-hugging liberal, more likely an outright socialist. More like a sign of sanity. Ronnie's pushing of Star Wars and his defense build-up did cause the collapse od the Soviet Union. But that appears to have been an accidental, unforeseen side effect rather than an intended outcome. The US spy agencies did not see it coming and were surprised by it.
