Someone has been hounding me by email, insisting that the "right vs left" political spectrum must be "reclaimed" by libertarians, and that "the Right" is for moving toward less government so they are my natural allies. He claims I should embrace the label "Extreme Rightist". I told him I'm as likely to start calling myself a Nazi or a Communist.
No amount of reason and no number of reasons is getting through to this guy.
One could argue with more legitimacy that we need to reclaim the term "liberal" for liberty. That won't happen either.
