I'm denouncing liberalism!

I am not sure how it is that I found this neat little corner of the world. I suppose I stumbled upon it; while navigating through a village in South Africa. On second thought, I've never been to South Africa. I may have, in a dream of sorts. Perhaps my grandfather's colored version of past memories is with me to this day. I'm unsure, to say the least. I've made a sort of break through in my self-defining journey for... whatever. It all began, really, with this talk show host on WWKB. Leslie Marshall, that's her name. She's interesting, likes to argue. She asked her audience on a dreary Monday evening to decide when it was exactly when we decided our political orientation. When was it that I define myself as liberal? Honestly, I'd never considered being conservative. Perhaps it's because i'm young, or that I'm a woman or that I'm in college, or that I work for nine dollars an hour in a call center. Maybe It's because I have a child, and she could grow up to be a lesbain, and I whole-heartedly accept this fact. While pondering this issue I realized that it doesn't make one goddamn difference whether I define myself as whatever. I'm nothing. I am essentially reducing myself to a statistic by choosing. So, without trying to promote Kalle Lasn with his Culture Jammer obnoxiousness I say, fuck the lables. Strip the wood down, stop coating it with fancy premium-grade titles and just be.

By stating the above, I'm unintentionally declaring myself a liberal. Traditionally, because I oppose that quo I'm stating that i reject the current trend in political America and am inherently rebellious, radical, liberal. It's a circle of doom. Inherently evil.
