What is Slacker Conservatism?

Our friends over at blatherWatch are kind enough to blogroll us. Unlike most blogs, such as our own, blatherWatch has a brief description of the blogs and websites they link to on their sidebar.

The description of Preemptive Karma says, "A lively collaborative site that's libertarian, a little liberal but with a soupcon of slacker conservativism. Always a good read, but don't call them centrists!"

LOL that last one is a humorous reference to Carla's thing with "centrists." Long-time PK readers will understand it instantly.

What has me curious, though, is the reference to "slacker conservatism." I don't think I'm going out on a limb by presuming that's a reference to my writing. And I don't necessarily take any offense at it. After all, some of my heterodox views pretty much preclude my being a liberal. And at one time many years ago I happily self-identified a conservative. Although I self-identify as a moderate (centrist?) today.

But what does slacker conservatism mean? I honestly don't know.

Anyone care to offer a definition?
