I've always been called a right winger myself, even though I'm more libertarian, but in the US, you are either left or right, so they get us fighting. I don't even own a bible, yet still get called a bible thumper etc around here.
I'm a registered Libertarian. In terms of political outlook, I'm a "neolibertarian" -- that is, I hearken to Jefferson's that government is best which governs least maxim, but I also recognize that the "least" requirement has changed with technology and population, as well as history.
No one got me fighting anyone, though. I speak my mind as I see fit, and of course that includes disparaging catchphrases and buzzwords. I think those two items are signposts for lazy thinking -- adopting the lingo of the times necessarily shortchanges nuanced though and self-plotted navigational courses.
Your mileage may vary.
