what did she call me?

After class, professor Bergin and I were talking about politics, and she said (something to the effect of) "I think you're more liberal than you give yourself credit for." I'm not sure how to take that. On the one hand, she actually said something about my politics that (to her at least) is a good thing. On the other hand, and this is in all seriousness, this is the absolute first time I've been seriously called a liberal.

I knew this would happen. One day I support gay and women's rights and the next thing I know, I'm a liberal. Not even being anti-affirmative action was enough. I've worked years at crafting my heartless bastard image, and I'm not prepared to give it up.
