We Can All Be Put in Boxes!

Yes, it's true, the true-blue Libertarians among us are few and far between. I've met a few. And they seem wild-eyed, and unserious in their seriousness.  Sort of like a Scientologist. Bring up the Environment, or Social Security, or Universal Healthcare and they are pretty much tongue-tied. Or somehow magically our joint "liberty" will solve all issues.

Maybe the rich people will take care of everything for us? Doesn't seem like much of a plan.

I do think Paul Krugman's little post is brilliant. Rand Paul is the empty box! Can our politics and the great divide between us be explained by this simple chart? I say yes. And put me in the "Socially Liberal," x "Social Insurance" boxes... that would = "Liberal!"
