Find me a libertarian that believes in big government, the nanny state and Ill show you someone who is lying about what they are.

I disagree with libertarians on Drugs, Abortion, and a few other minor things but all and all to equate them to liberals is a huge disservice to many freepers..

I disagree with libertarians on Drugs, Abortion,

You support abortion or oppose it? Please state WHAT YOU THINK the libertarian position is on abortion.

Or just ask me and I'll tell you what it really is, or isn't.

I disagree with libertarians on Drugs, Abortion

Not to take this on a tangent, but as another FReeper mentioned once, there is a very good libertarian case against abortion. There is no libertarian case that I know of for preventing people from taking drugs, since that is a nanny-state function.

Hey, I'm just going by what I've learned--keep in mind that I'm a PoliSci major...8^)

From what I've studied, libertarianism is something that eventually connects the left and the right--making the continuum more of a full circle.

Yes, few libertarians believe in big government, etc. But it's their views on other issues that define left vs. right libertarians.

Right libertarians are more likely to be reactionary; left libertarians are more likely to favor anarchy and stand traditionally left on the classic political spectrum--left of the center, but far to the right of Socialists, Communists, and radical anarchists.

That's the difference.
