Hey there. I'm TheEfficientMan.

Simply put, I believe in liberty. I'm a liberal, in the original and true sense, and a libertarian (not Libertarian, as in the U.S. political party) in the broad sense. I mostly want the government out of your life, with a few exceptions. Here are some things I believe in:

Libertarian conservatism or Western conservatism Classical liberalism Conservative liberalism or Liberal Conservatism Fusionism Neoliberalism or Laissez-Faire Thatcherism or Reaganism Republicanism Federalism and New Federalism Judeo-Christian ethics Peace through strength Patriotism (but not Nationalism) Most aspects of Jeffersonian democracy

Some of my heroes are:

Ronald Reagan Margaret Thatcher Calvin Coolidge Jack Kemp Barry Goldwater Andrew Mellon Milton Friedman Friedrich Hayek Ludwig von Mises Thomas Sowell Ben Shapiro Milo Yiannopolous Steven Crowder Hunter Avallone The Founding Fathers of the United States

I'm irritated I have to have to distinguish myself from the cult of the SJWs and Regressive Leftists who incorrectly call themselves liberals.

This election illustrates quite a lot of what's wrong with America, and Trump is horrible, but I'd vote for him anyway, if I could.

I despise much of our culture today, and wish we could return to the Judeo-Christian system of beliefs we used to hold, but I don't want the government to enforce it on us. Separation of church and state is one of the most important principles that our country was founded on. Do what you want with your life. It's not the government's job to prevent you from making bad decisions. For this reason I support, for example, the legalization of drugs. This is despite my abhorrence of these activities on a personal level.

Work is great for you, and is sometimes a reward in and of itself.

Yeah, but I'm a white, heterosexual, cisgender, upper middle-class (because my parents aren't fools and worked hard, not because they're white), Christian, patriotic male, so obviously I am not entitled to any opinions and I'm racist, sexist, Islamophobic, xenophobic, transphobic, ableist, and whatever-ist.

I run a blog on climate change which no one reads (and please don't feel obligated to do so) here.
