http://belshaw.blogspot.com/2011/05/new-england-populist-tradition.html
Saturday, May 14, 2011. The New England populist tradition. I am about to bring up on the side bar a short notice explaining my political bias that I come from and am influenced by, the New England populist tradition. I feel the need to do this because of the way that my analysis often doesn't quite fit conventional modes. Sometimes it appears left, sometimes right, sometimes conservative, sometimes not.
