Depending on what kind of Conservative you consider yourself to be, according to the Canadian Political Spectrum, we are right next to Libertarians--as extreme right as you can go.
Now tell me this.
How come they dont fall in the middle of the spectrum like "Liberals" and yet dawn the root of the name? Am I missing something or is our spectrum really messed up.
Theres a lot I agree with Libertarianism...but a LOT I dont.

Theres a lot I agree with Libertarianism...but a LOT I dont. Well, what would you expect from a Canadian political think-tank? They're well left of "center" themselves, so their findings will skew accordingly..... Libertarians are simply liberals who are beginning to question "liberal values" (whatever they are); they lean far more to the left, than they do right...... |

Libertarians are social liberals who have been mugged by economic reality.

The term Liberal actually means "less government" but things have switched for some reason and now it means "more government"
Libertarian just means what Liberal used to mean, right?
