"For the last few years I've been in a bit of a political identity crisis. I used to consider myself a leftist, but over time I've come to believe in many conservative principles, such as limited government, balanced budgets, reduced spending, a cautious foreign policy, etc. For a while, your own blog even had me thinking that maybe I was a conservative myself. But now I realize that these were leftist principles all along. Thanks so much to all those Bush supporters out there for clarifying the matter. And welcome to the Left, Andrew. We're not all crazy liberals over here after all."
