Thinking of recent issues I'm coming down on the side of conservatives on I wanted to make a post about how partisanship between liberals and conservatives is always going to only be 'half-good.'
If you stick to one side or the other, you're going to be wrong as much as you're right. Whereas, if like me you try to only ever be on the right side of an issue, regardless of whose side that coincides with then you'll always be on the right side of an issue - your side.
Sometimes my side happens to also be that of liberals, sometimes it's that of conservatives. But I'd rather be right than partisan ALL the time. Consequently, I don't identify as either liberal or conservative. I don't take sides like that as much as 'right or wrong' side.
I don't expect my way of approaching issues to catch on of course, but just thought I'd mention it's an option. Be on your own side, the right side all the time. Not on anyone else's side because then you're going to be wrong as much as right (unless you're some rare bird who's in perfect step with which ever side you're on.)
