Reflexive

Hi teachers,

I believe America is a center-right nation. I am at work on a biography of George H.W.Bush. I pay plenty of taxes already, thanks, and I have no automatic faith in government's capacity to solve problems. I share these details to make clear that I am not a reflexive lefty. Far from it.

What does "reflexive" mean?

Automatic; without consideration. In this case, he is saying that he is not a party-liner; he does not automatically choose the liberal viewpoint without thinking about it.
