Libertarian is a description of a social liberal who is too liberal to be a conservative.

But as usual we have to play this game that no, libertarians are all conservatives, they just like the name libertarian better, and of course totally disagree with their party that they founded, and it’s platform.

Unless of course this was a liberal forum, then they would be telling us all that they share with us as liberals.

No, libertarian can also mean a social conservative who thinks it’s people’s responsibility to govern themselves rather than have the government do it for them. That’s why, for instance, a libertarian might disagree with marijuana use yet support its legalization. To anyone fluent with basic logic, this is not an irresolveable paradox. And there are many other issues that follow along similar lines.
