All I said was that JJ was a fan of Buckley, which he is and which I find strange; he doesn't strike me as an admirable right winger. I didn't say JJ was a right winger. I am perfectly used to being called a right wing. petty bourgeois apologist for capitalism. If you are a liberal democratic fan of markets, it comes with the territory. I don't even care if I am right wing in some respects.
