I don't see how that's relevant.

RE: Liberal, Conservative, or Libertarian?
Okay, um...lol, is this an attempt to have others label -your- politics?  That tidbit doesn;t really have much to do with anything in that context.  A black national socialist, then?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I think 'national socialist' is a bit strong. Probably 'classical liberal' fits better.

I have a really hard time defining what I am politically as well.

Confused.

Does it matter what you call it? Labels are useful shortcuts, but not everyone fits into the existing ones perfectly.

Meh, why, because of the connotations?  Those™ national socialists weren't -actually- national socialists (they just used the name).....this one says he/she is.
