There’s a pretty easy way to differentiate between a liberal and a libertarian. Go through these issues with a person:
1) Gun control.
2) Eliminating the Departments of Education, Commerce, and Transportation, HUD, the NEA, and the EPA.
3) Flat tax.
4) Eliminating all affirmative action programs.
5) Eliminating the minimum wage.
6) Overturning Roe v. Wade.
7) Term limits.
Those topics should tell you pretty quickly whether or not you are dealing with a liberal. I don’t see how any libertarian or conservative could possible see things the same as a liberal on those points. Conservative vs. libertarian vs. Libertarian will take a few more questions.
There’s a pretty easy way to differentiate between a conservative and a libertarian. Go through these issues with a person:
Libertarian Party Platform:
Throw open the borders completely; only a rare individual (terrorist, disease carrier etc.) can be kept from freedom of movement through “political boundaries”, eliminate the Border Patrol and INS.
Homosexuals; total freedom in the military, gay marriage, adoption, child custody and everything else.
Abortion; zero restrictions or impediments full 9 months.
Pornography; no restraint, no restrictions.
Drugs; Meth, Heroin, Crack, and anything new that science and marketers can come up with, zero restrictions.
Advertising those drugs, prostitution, and pornography; zero restrictions.
Military Strength; minimal capabilities.
Give a Liberaltarian a big sack of dope to smoke with his queer boyfriend and he would vote for Karl Marx.
