VFTW's owner is not even from Austin. And back when I lived in Texas, he would have probably ended up being considered a Yank and carpetbagger of sort no matter how "not really Texas" the neighborhood may be.

He is an economic conservative -- libertarian when it comes to political economy matters. He is sort of socially liberal, but he's far removed from being a "liberal" in the American context. And thus he gets put into the basket of "conservative" Republican, as are people who are a Club of Growth/Koch brothers groupie of sort.

VFTW has always been loaded with his sort of anti-government streak. It's also loaded with his anti-union streak. His personal politics flavors his blog, and it is entertaining because of the personal flavor.
