Brilliant summation of philosophy

John Scalzi does a great job of summing up his political philosophy here:

I don't want my political proclivities to be in doubt, so let me be absolutely crystal clear where I stand:

I support the right of same-sex married couples to carry concealed weapons.

I hope this explains everything.

I could sign on to that.

It's a nicely judged example of what Michael Emerling used to call "Political Cross-dressing": presenting right-wing ideas in left-wing rhetoric or vice-versa. Confuses the heck out of the knee-jerk dogmatists and ignorant slogan-repeaters.
