Only in America is the label “conservative” associated with a political view favorable toward individual freedom. Anywhere else, the equivalent term is “liberal.” That makes it difficult at times to converse about politics and political alignments with persons from other lands and backgrounds. Note further that whenever an organ of the Legacy Media reports on a foreign personage or movement that promotes an anti-freedom position, it hastens to style him a “conservative.”

You will notice, “white tiger,” that I always go by my full and correct name. That’s because I intend to stand behind what I say. If I make a point, it’s because I think it to be one worth making. I hardly need your endorsement to be secure about my opinions or the appropriateness of expressing them, your opinions about “aggrandizement” and such notwithstanding. Now, was that perfectly clear to you, or should I have put it in shorter words?
