Well now... You can call yourself whatever you want. Personally, I'd call
you bill w.  :D

Aside from that, why do you want to pigeonhole yourself?    Are you
thinking to vote some straight-party ticket, and need to know what box to
check?

I'm beginning to see this pigeonholing thing as detrimental.   It can
become tribe-making, an us-vs-them.  We've too much of that right now in
the USA, IMHO.

Most people are conglomerates of beliefs.  Everyone has an individual
viewpoint which will skew what they see, what they think, and what they
decide.
