…what should you be called?
Here’s a contest at Pajamas Media to come up with a name. Enter to win (what else) a pair of pajamas!
I’ve always hated political pigeon-holing and the assumption that because you hold position A about one topic (say, the invasion of Iraq) you must therefore hold position B about another, unrelated topic (say, stem cell research).
I cannot be pigeonholed! I am an individual!
But what do I call me, and those like me? Centrist doesn’t cut it, because I’m not a centrist–I have strong opinions that probably approach extremes. Some come from the left, some from the right.
“Ambidextrous” comes to mind, but I doubt it’s a pajama-winner…

Totally agree – I hold views from both sides of the political spectrum. My NDP friends think I am right-wing, and my conservative friends think I’m socialist. You just can’t win…
