Somebody once said "A Libertarian is a Republican who wants to smoke pot."


Consider how much common ground we have, and then add fiscal resposibility, and you have ( what I consider ) the better ideals of both of the recognized parties.

Since I came up a Left Libertarian in their test, and I'm not an anarchist, I wonder what it means to be a libertarian. I think their test is biased to make people appear to lean more libertarian then they actually do.

They use libertarian with a small "L" to represent the concept that is opposite to authoritarian.

Some versions of their test have me as a moderate social liberal, which is alsonews to me, since moderation and myself have little in common.

Again, I think you are misunderstanding that the word libertarian, and thus left of center, represents the opposite to authoritarian, or in this case regulation.

No political party is perfect. There will be discoonects anytime you get more than one person involved

I agree, but Libertarians ( with the capital "L" ) have a much stricter view of constutional interpretation then does your average Democrat, or Republican.
