Libertarians are "classical" liberals. Maximized freedom, or liberty if you prefer. There is almost nothing in common with todays "political" liberals who are more accurately socialists.

Does that help?

If Democrats are in the Upper Left Box (Socialism), and Republicans are in the Lower Right Box (Conservativism), Where do Libertarians throw their support, if they have choose between the two?

This seems to be an exercise in defining away purely political conservativism. Everything is expressed in social/moral terms.
