Apolitical. I might aspire to be a sneaky Machiavellian who says and does what helps him get places, but in reality I don't have the drive and ability to lie to do it. So I just keep my mouth shut and focus on my goals.
Or to put it another way, "politics" only makes sense to me in the context of gaining some benefit by espousing something. Power, social status, money, pussy, or the warm glow you get from winning an online argument. But I don't judge espousing any form of political philosophy to be as beneficial as other uses of my energy.
If you become "the man" by organising the local Obama meetup, then that's the value you gain. If you like the adulation you get from owning some gun rights forum, more power to you.

Dr Johnson rumbles with the RawGod. And lives to regret it.
